So, I'm just Dude, I'm I'm so fed up. Can I just show you photos I've been taking of events that's been leading up This began into a fight a long time ago. Last time we got this bad where I got injured like this. We got into a fight where I was trying to take a shower in the morning. There's no hot water. And he come I'm still naked, mind you. He comes breaking down the door while I'm still naked and he tries to hit me. I gave him two black eyes that day. I'm sure if he shows you a photo of that, you'll understand. This This isn't a new thing. This isn't a new thing. Got you.

That's why I want to talk to you. If you refuse to talk to me, you can go sit in our jail for 3 days. So then, let's talk. Wait, I don't want to leave him. Cuz I do believe he has potential. But he can get like this. Thank you for your time. So then what happened? Why are we here? Okay. What happened today? Today I caught him drinking and I was like, "Dude, you can't keep drinking like this. Can you please get up? 6:00, can you please get up?" He goes in the morning 6:00 p.m. you're still sleeping. I caught him drinking. I'm like, "Dude, can you please stop drinking? It's 6:00. Please get up." He goes, "I shut the [ __ ] up." I don't know how it escalated. He tried to hit me. I defended myself and that turned him into pushing me into the chair and trying to hit me in the head. Then he moved from the chair and tried to hit me with the white chair that you can see back there just behind him. It's It's on the floor right now in the kitchen. And he started hitting you with the chair, right? Yeah. No, I defended myself from the chair and then he tried to go back. I'm It was really fast. Okay. How old is he? He can take care of himself. So again, if you don't want to cooperate, you can go sit in jail for 72 hours. So I'm going to jail for 72 hours. If you're not going to give me any part of your story, that's a possibility. I mean, this is not the time or place for that. You only need an attorney if you're being arrested. >> arresting me, sir. I am not arresting you. Not at this point, no. However, if you don't want to cooperate, you will be held on a 72-hour investigative hold. If you don't want to cooperate, you will be held on a 72-hour investigative detention. That is not an arrest. Dude, no. You're not Don't try to Don't >> to him. I'm sorry. Ignore him while we figure out what's going on. So, he's got injuries. I do believe he can be cooperative person that doesn't get like this. But I don't know what happened. I seriously don't. Okay. You said around 7:30 you told his dad he should stop drinking. He's been sleeping all night today. He hasn't done anything. So, he lashed out on him and then started beating him. You said he said throwing you on the ground and hit you on the head. >> He didn't throw me on the ground. He threw me on the chair and he tried to hit me. I don't know if there's a bruise on my head. I doubt it. It didn't feel that hard, but he still hit me like around this area. And then all the stuff on your left arm is from him? Uh today, yesterday, and two days ago. So, yesterday they had they said they already had a fight right there. So, you've had fights three days in a row that have gotten physical with your dad? Yeah. Oh, wonderful. I mean, he's been like this for months. But it's I don't want to be taken like DCFS. I don't want that to be involved cuz they have my brother and I saw how bad that can get. I Like I said, I do believe it can get better. He's just in this weird phase right now and I just need to be away from I can't I can't be near that. I get that. This hap- This has been a story with this family for his entire life. He gets like this during certain points. Is your mom in the picture at all? She is, but she lives far and far away. So, they're not together? No. She wants to take me, but I go to school here. She hasn't given up parental rights or anything like that? >> Um she did go to prison a few years ago, so my custody did get handed over to her, but I went back with him, so I'm confused on what that does mean for me. Anything recent though? Any recent custody agreements that you know of? >> we haven't. Was it through Kane or a different county? I'm not sure. It might have been through Kane, but I'm not 100% on the situation. Okay. I was only 12 when all that happened. Right, understandable. Did you call the police yesterday? Uh no. >> No. No. Day before that, no. Nobody else called the police? >> fend for myself yesterday. That's why I didn't call anybody. Today is just like the first day he actually got the upper hand on me in the fight. Um the house has been trashed like looks like a homeless person and I've been trying so hard to fix it. This is what it used to look like before I started cleaning it. Um I've been pissed cuz he's not been helping me clean it and he just continues to make it worse. I'm like, "Come on, dude. Can you please help me? Can you please help me?" He's like, "Stop. Stop. Just don't clean it. Don't clean it." He tries to fight me when I'm trying to help him. I don't understand it. Right.
