This critical moment captured on police bodycam shows the lengths a mother went to shield her child from harm.

This indicates the young child has been witnessing and reporting ongoing domestic abuse, raising serious concerns about the household situation. In a candid moment captured on the police bodycam, an officer provides realistic advice about the difficult road ahead: "I would to be completely honest with you to save you a lot of heartache in the long run I would probably just move out and move back in with your mom. Because with the judge getting your protection the judge can rule that he can't live there. However if it's his house and he pays the bills he's just going to stop paying the bills right."
