This revealed that both children had been left alone without supervision. Shortly after, police contacted the mother. And then the moment she appeared, everyone was stunned.

What's your date of birth? >> What's your date of birth? Instead of panicking, rushing to check on her children, or thanking the people who kept them safe, the mother immediately chose to justify herself. >> He knows how to unlock the door and stuff. >> Yes, he do. Now, even when I'm like, I work from home. Even when I'm on the computer, he unlocks it. And I'm like, Jay, get inside. >> I don't know yet. >> The problem is the way we found him on the street. He could have could have got his car. So that's a problem. >> What was most striking was this. Throughout her string of excuses, she never once mentioned JJ's feelings or condition. Not a single question asking if he was hurt, if he was scared, or if he was okay. Her entire response centered on defending herself and denying responsibility. That conversation became the clearest evidence. This woman was not only irresponsible, but she also tried to cover up her indifference with excuses. When told she was under arrest, she cried and begged, but still never asked about JJ's condition. From the moment JJ was found on the road until the mother was arrested, she never knew where her son had gone. Never thanked those who saved him, and only worried about defending herself. Meanwhile, it was the police and a complete stranger who truly protected the
