Police later discovered the children had been locked in a bedroom for more than 12 hours a day in severe unsanitary conditions with feces covering the children and the room including the walls after a neighbor alerted authorities. >> And so we had to throw them both out. >> Mhm. >> My brother just sent me money.

How long have they been in that room? >> They were supposed to be taking a nap. >> Where are they supposed to be napping at? There's not a bed in here. >> The supervising adult explains prior furniture damage and ongoing household challenges while officers continue assessing conditions. >> Yesterday, one likes to tear apart their beds. >> Mhm. >> And so we had to throw them both out. Mhm. >> My brother just sent me money. I'm actually going to be once my wife gets home buy.

Come on out here to my police department. You give me a minute to get that calmed down. Have a seat. I'll go get you some shoes here in a minute. We're going to need to go in there and collect evidence at some point or another. Um, would you be willing to give us consent to go in there by signing a search waiver to collect evidence? >> Yeah, >> you would be willing to? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Loosen these a little bit. >> Come here real quick. >> How about I just take them off for right now? Then I'll put you back in there cuz this is probably going to be a pretty lengthy process. But these will go right back on if anything stupid starts happening. Okay. All right. Okay. This is giving me or whoever else needs to go in there permission to go in there and take pictures and collect evidence and stuff. Okay. >> Officers manage multiple adults on scene, confirm child welfare response, and continue evidence collection and processing. Hold on one second. I was going to stay right back. You're fine. You're fine. Hold on, baby. Hold on. >> Hello. My mom. >> Okay. Do you stay here, too? >> No, it's just me and the boys and [clears throat] her dad. >> Come here, baby. Here. You okay?

Have you been talked to about the search waiver yet? >> Yes. >> Okay. Uh, you [music] have the right to say no. You don't have to give us permission to go in there and gather evidence. If that's the case, we're going to get a warrant anyway. Uh we won't have any issues getting that sign. It just prolongs the process. Okay? And this shows your cooperation with the process as well. But like I said, you have the right to say no. You do not have to give us consent. >> Might as well say yes. So you're going to do it anyway. >> So I'm going to write my name on here. I'm not that that's not coercion or anything. I'm just letting you know that that's what's going to happen. We're going to get in there regardless with a warrant or with your consent. But this just makes it a little bit easier. Uh, so go ahead and read through here so you understand you got the air on back here. >> Yeah. >> All right. Um, just sit tight. Okay. If if you start acting up or like doing anything weird, I'm going to have to put you back in handcuffs. Okay. >> Can I ask you a question? You're her mom. >> Have you ever like how often do you go inside their apartment? >> Usually about once a week or so. I don't visit, but I work two jobs. So, >> do you see that window right there? You see how it's kind of like hard to see through? Okay, >> it's kind of like got stuff smeared on it. You know that that's human [ __ ] That room is completely caked in it. Not to mention the entire house is absolutely filthy and disgusting. Just horrendous. >> But those kids are in Those kids were up in that room locked in that room taking a nap. No furniture. >> Oh, they break furniture. >> The children break furniture. >> Children break furniture. They're in the middle of potty training. They're at the hospital with babies. What? >> They're in the middle of potting. >> Look, there is no excuse. There's no excuse for this. >> This is a felony crime what's occurring right now. >> So, no, you can't talk to her right now. Okay. I need you to just give us some space while we investigate it. All right. I'm not going to run you off. I'm not going to be mean to you, but I just need to give you some space. She's going to be fine. She's safe back there. She might be a little hysterical, but she's not going to get hurt. She'll be fine. Okay. >> All right. Can you go around? the day goes out maybe like 3 days maybe up here right now. >> Yeah. >> Well, this is >> the couple, a 24 year old man and a 21-year-old woman were charged with multiple counts of child neglect following their arrest and booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center. The man's bond was set at $150,000 and the woman's at $75,000 with no information provided on whether they posted bail. Remember, unsafe living conditions can lead to immediate law enforcement and child welfare intervention. Adults responsible for supervision may be held accountable regardless of intent or explanation. This is the reaction of netzens to the situation. I'm glad authorities stepped in quickly. The investigation seemed very thorough. This was a tough situation to watch. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming. The next incident is how to lose your child custody in simple steps. >> Stay out of my >> LISTEN TO ME. >> GET THE DOWN. >> SHUT THE DOOR. ON August 3rd, 2021 officers rushed to a home following reports of a domestic disturbance involving a custody dispute at a residence with one adult stating she arrived to retrieve a minor. >> I'm here to pick my son up. >> Okay. >> And his father is being disorderly. She's hitting the windows of my car, yelling at me. >> Okay. Is he in there? >> Loses to leave so I can get my son. >> Okay. Is your Is he in there or? >> Yeah, they're both in there. >> I'll go talk to him. Okay. My son's mad cuz I called the cops, but >> Okay. Hello. What's going on? >> Oh, honey. This one here likes to cause problems because she was supposed to take her son Yeah. >> to out to eat. >> Yeah. >> And then she makes threads that she's going to take him. >> Mhm. >> And uh this has been craziness. >> Ongoing kind of thing. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Is he going to come talk to me or No, >> I don't believe so, baby. He's just he's aggravated, you know, because just a lot of time. >> Is there like mandated hours that >> No, there's no set hours at all. >> Is the son going to go with her? >> The problem is he's been down here for a while. She hasn't came and seen any hasn't done anything >> and then all of a sudden she wants to start seeing him after she caused some problems at his school. >> Yeah. >> And it's just been ongoing crazy. >> What's your son's name? >> Ryan. >> Ryan. Is the kid here? >> Gile is here. Okay. Right. >> So, are you guys going to let him go with her or no? But I'll tell her either to leave or that he's coming out. >> She needs just just go ahead and leave. He's upset because she causes trouble for him for the son. >> Okay. Is there any >> And then the dad gets upset. >> Voices escalate. Hensley and others argue about custody status while officers request documentation and attempt to control the scene. >> That and then it causes problems for him because he's stuck in the middle between two parents. Um, is there you said there's no paperwork on child mandate guidelines or anything like that? >> There's nothing. She just custody. >> Does the child primary live with dad? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, basically they said they don't want to let him go with you. I I can't do anything without paperwork. If you had like statemandated guidelines or anything, >> I'm trying to pull up here. >> Do you guys have like any sort of court paperwork or anything? >> Yeah, I have full legal and physical custody. >> Do you? Yeah. >> Okay. >> You want J? Are you going to send your boy to school when you get him like you said you was going to? >> Are you? >> Okay. That's exactly what I want to hear. I'll bring D out and you can take him. >> The first time I hear you kept taking him to voice like you're wanting him to. >> Yeah. >> And you're going to be in problems, sweetheart. >> Okay. >> Did you burn him? >> I didn't even ride. >> You guys are not taking my kids flat out. Listen to me. You're not taking my >> listen to me. >> Just come on. >> Hensley and occupants repeatedly block and close the door. Officers direct occupants to show their hands and give verbal commands. >> Talk to me. >> You want to back up, bro? >> Sit the down. >> STOP. [laughter] >> OH MY GOD. Get >> out of my house. >> Go to the back. Go to the back. Go to the back. Out of my house. He's been trying to pull something stupid so goddamn much trouble. We have paperwork. >> Send me another unit signal. >> I'll get y'all out of here. >> Yeah, go ahead. >> I will get y'all out of here. >> THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT. >> IT'S A CIVIL MATTER. >> IT IS NOT A CIVIL MATTER, >> HONEY. THIS IS a civil matter. They don't have the right. >> Show me your [ __ ] hands. >> Show me your hand. >> Get out. Get out of here. I'm telling you to get out of the way. >> You get back.

Tell him. >> Officers continue commands to have the minor exit and to deescalate. Officers report a perceived reach toward a waistband and maintain a defensive posture. >> Tell No, >> it's down and over. >> No, it's not now. >> It's down and over. >> It's He tried to pull his gun or something. >> No, he did not. >> He reached for his waistband.

The adults continue to dispute custody arrangements. >> But y'all don't want to see that [ __ ] goes. >> They ain't got no right to do this. Who the you guys think you are, MAN? I HAVE CORD. I'VE HAD ALMOST YEARS. >> [ __ ] >> You know what? We're trying to deal with the situation. You two You two up here yelling does not help. >> I DON'T CARE WHO you want to talk to, okay? So, you need to understand, raise your voice once. You're going to jail. Hey, chill out. >> Why are you guys doing this? >> We all just got here. Officer Swans, >> he's not allowed to take my kid. >> Be quiet. Okay, listen to me. We all just got here. Okay. Officer Swanson called for backup. I don't know what's going on. He's the only one that does. >> I shut the door. He never tried to arrest me either. Never said I'm under arrest. >> Listen to me. You acting like this is not going to help. Okay. Do you understand? >> He has no right to take my kid. >> We will get it all. >> Say that [ __ ] >> We will get it all sorted out. But you acting like this is not helping your situation. >> How the can you guys just come in my house over a goddamn court letter that says I'm to GO TO COURT IN NOVEMBER? Once again, >> they did a court order the the police to take my kid. >> Okay, listen to me. Okay, you acting like this is not going to help your situation. Okay, we will get it all sorted out. >> What are you guys doing now, Crane? >> Huh? >> What are you guys doing now? >> What are we doing now? >> Yeah. >> Officer Swanson's getting the sorted out. All listen to me, okay? All I know is he asked for signal 10 backup, which is us emergent. Okay. >> He said he's taking my kid, though. >> I I have no idea, man. I literally just got here with you not complying to what he was telling you to do. Okay, >> Crane, I got the paperwork. Let me tell you what happened. She abandoned my kid with me. >> Who is she? Is she up there? >> My kid's mom. >> Is she up there? >> She was here. >> Is she the doctor? >> Yeah. And what happened was is he said he's taking my kid that there's a court order. There is not. Listen, she tried to wants to get her custody rights enforced. He said he'll set a hearing for it November 11th. That's it. He did not enforce her custody because they already know he's living with me. They stopped child. >> Hensley repeatedly asserts custody rights and describes prior disputes and court dates while officers gather information and warn about compliance. >> Over it. >> Okay. >> What is her name? >> I told him Camille Duncan. I told him >> Dun. >> I said you can't take my kid. You're not going to take my kid. And I said, "Guys, back up." I tried to shut the door and he tried to come in the house. >> Okay. >> I I was going to get the court paperwork. He says it don't matter what he seen. He's taking my kid. He can't do that. >> Okay. >> She won't give him back and nobody will enforce that her giving him back. >> Okay. >> She called the police on him, report him as a runaway in January sometime. And it's a lie. It's all because she wanted to claim him on her taxes and I told her I would turn her in because she hasn't I I can't see. Is there a way I have to get you to think string? You all right? >> I I I Listen, you just need to calm down, okay? The Whenever I got here, the situation you were in was not good. >> Well, the police keep threatening me all the time. >> Well, dude, you hide behind the wall whenever we're telling you to show your hands and you literally are >> Why do for what? >> Babe, I didn't mean to call you babe. >> Yeah, you're right. >> So, I I have no I mean, listen, all we know is officer Swanson asked for backup here, okay? Yeah. >> What do you think's going through our minds? >> You've got a gun behind you somewhere. Okay. And you're trying to figure out the best way to come around that corner and shoot at us. Okay. So, the what you what you have done like causes a panic with us cuz we don't want to be shot. We don't want to be hurt. We don't want you hurt. So, I don't know what happened between you Swanson throwing up here and us getting here, but what you were doing whenever I was here? Oh, she took my son. GOD DAMN IT. THAT'S WHY SHE'S NOT HERE. >> Who is >> Oh man, you mother. >> Hey, who is my kid's mom? >> Is she the tall darkhaired? >> Yeah, she was not. Yeah. >> No, no, that's not her. That's Samantha, dude. That's him. No, Chamilleia. So, they got my kid out of here and then they [ __ ] did that. >> Okay. All right. Well, like I say, >> what are they trying to do? Go in there and search for a gun? >> I have no idea. I don't think anybody's even in there right now, man. >> How the do they do this, man? It's not right. Hey, dude. Listen. Tensley refuses to comply with officers directions, attempts to shut or lock the door, and continues vocal confrontational behavior while officers secure the scene. And um then they can put them on probation cuz those kids need it cuz nobody's at home making them do their homework and this and that. But there's teachers. Anyways, that same teacher that was talking about that when my kid was trying to ask a question, she um it was about pre-alggebra and she said, "You're in the ninth grade and you don't know algebra." That's was that was her extent of her help in front of the whole, you know, those kids. >> I mean, we have we need to reform schools >> before we try to reform the kids that are becoming damaged by them. >> Yeah. >> Those entire systems are man. >> Okay. What is your name? >> I'm Ryan Hinsley. Ryan Hinsley. Okay. All right. All right. Hang tight. I'm gonna talk to Swanson. See what's going on. See what we can figure it out. Okay. Ryan. >> Well, okay. Now, he didn't tell me I was under arrest. He started saying that he was taking my kid for sure. I said, "I'm I'm going to get uh I don't think I told him I was going to get paperwork." I said, "No, you're not." And I went to shut and lock the door. He grabbed it and tried to come in. So, I ran to the back and I said, "John, I was screaming for my kid not to leave with him." And I was trying to get my girlfriend to bring me a phone so I could call the police. >> Uh, sure. >> What am I being arrested for? >> Look, you didn't have a right to take my kid. That court ORDER DID NOT SAY police enforced. >> Chill out. >> And I have I had a I HAD A COURT DATE NOVEMBER 11. >> YELLING. >> I was talking to you and you just tried to come in when I went to shut the door and call the police. I was going to call the state in and have them look at the paperwork cuz you're too illiterate to understand it. Now I cannot get cops to take my kid back. Do you understand that? Do you understand that? >> [ __ ] her. >> YOU'RE GODDAMN MY KID, MAN. You're him. She's going to send him AWAY TO A SCHOOL. SHE ONLY wants to collect support on him, man. You're [ __ ] my kid. You understand that? >> Ask his goddamn teachers if you don't believe [music] me. She come in there wanting to send him away to a godamn boarding school that she can get for free. boys count. He ain't he ain't never been in no trouble, dude. He don't get in trouble at school. He's a good kid. She's only wanting to get the the child support enforced again. You understand? LISTEN, YOU UP, MAN. [screaming] AND YOU'RE ARRESTING ME FOR IT. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? What is your deal, man? YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO TRY TO TAKE MY KID LOOKING. LISTEN. Listen to me, man. Godamn you. Are you a [ __ ] man? You interfered with my kid's life. I HAVE CUSTODY. YOU'RE WRONG. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, MAN. You can't just come in somebody's house and say you're taking their kid when that woman has abandoned him. I have legal rights to my kid. We were just in court then. >> Hensley was arrested on charges of interfering with child custody, resisting arrest by force and disorderly conduct. Remember, when custody disputes arise, present court documentation to responding officers and follow their directions to avoid escalation. Cooperating with law enforcement on scene helps officers verify custody status and reduces the likelihood of arrest or forceful intervention. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. Seems like the officers were trying to get paperwork and calm things down. A messy situation either way. If there was a court order, bring it with you. This is why documentation matters. That reach for waistband moment looked like it made officers treat the scene [music] as potentially dangerous. You think the officers were out of options here? Watch what happens next on the body cam. Tell us if you would have done the same. The next incident is when police rescue toddler from his outrageously irresponsible mom. Do >> you realize it's been probably at least 45 minutes by now? >> Are you serious? >> Yeah, it's been at least 45 minutes. I let him go out there all the time. >> Do you not like check on him every so often? >> I do. I do, but I'm just so used to letting him go out there and play.

Investigators learned the child had left home while his mother slept, unaware he was gone, with the family dog following to protect him. A welfare check revealed the home was in disarray and the mother admitted the child had been playing outside unsupervised. >> Across the street that way, nobody know. >> You guys haven't seen him in the neighborhood before. You don't know where he might live? >> I've never seen him either. >> I'm answering offering up a name or any other >> Hey, buddy. Hi. What you got? >> You got sticks. What's your name? >> Animals taken care of. >> You need anything for us? Um, do you want to call? >> Yeah, if you just have your ID so I can grab your information if you don't mind and then you you're free to go after that. >> Yeah, this is his dog was wandering too on the leash. They put the leash on him. >> So, you found you saw him first or who saw him first? >> The guy left, >> but you drove by after the fact. >> Yeah, he pulled up and he's like we're like, "Who's this?"

She's freaking out. >> I think it might. Yeah. Okay. >> That Yes, that's our dog. That's our dog. >> She just went out the check because he plays in the backyard. It's all fenced in. >> Apparently, the dog has done a hole under the fence and that's how he got out. Excuse me. >> Officers determined the child was unsupervised for approximately 45 minutes to nearly an hour while the mother was inside the home >> back. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Do you live there too or you just help? >> I'm the grandmother. She just called me. That's why I was rushed over here. >> Okay. >> No, you ain't going nowhere. You stay right here. [snorts] >> Who's Whose kid is it? >> He's mine. >> He's your baby? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> All right. He's safe. >> Okay. >> All right. Um, what? Um, okay. How long do you think it's been? >> I I let him go back all the time and play and I have the door open, you know, and you know, our fence is We have a fence. >> What number do you live at? Um, >> yeah. >> Okay. >> And I went out to check on him. He was over there playing with the dog and then I I didn't see him. So when I walk >> The mother admits she routinely allows the toddler to play outside without direct supervision and did not realize how long he had been gone. >> And I see that the panel is missing. He knocked the panel out. >> What color is your house? >> Um, it's blue. Light blue. >> Okay. Um, you realize it's been probably at least 45 minutes by now. >> Are you serious? >> Yeah, it's been at least 45 minutes. >> I let him go out there all the time. >> You still got to keep your eye on him and check on him once in a while. Let him go. And that's being easy. It's probably really going closer to an hour. >> Oh my god. >> What do you not like check on him every so often? >> I do. I do, but I'm just so used to letting him go out there and play. I've never had an issue. That's just a That's just a very long time for no supervision at all. I mean, 50 minutes to an hour in the backyard. There's I mean, God, there's snakes that get through the fences. I mean, obviously the fence isn't secure. The kid got through. I mean, I'm just glad he's okay. He's perfectly fine. The dog, thankfully, the dog's very protective, and the dog doesn't want to leave his side. So, they were seen walking down the road together, and and it it seemed like no one was doing a good job at protecting a kid. >> Officers inspect the property document multiple fence breaches and explain that a child welfare DCF notification is mandatory. So, >> okay. >> All right. I I think your grandmother's down there, too. How long How long did you notice that he was missing? I literally we just let him play out there. I've never like I said >> it's not a >> Did you fall asleep or >> No, I was cleaning. >> Yes, I clean. He's He gets in a lot at the house. >> Okay. And um he I I had actually gotten donuts earlier and he had crumbled them up all over the floor. So I was starting to pick up and just clean some. And like I said, I let him go all back and never have an issue. He goes out there and plays all the time and it just didn't I don't know. I didn't think anything like this would ever happen. >> Oh, I know. >> I let him go back. We usually let him go back out back all the time, you know, play. And um I started cleaning and I went out there check on him. Like I'm not going to lie, he had been a little bit, but we let him go out there all the time and play, you know. And uh I called his name. He I didn't hear him. He didn't say anything. So I walked back out there to look and I seen that the panel on this side of the gate had been knocked out and he had gotten out. So I started walking down the road to try and find him and then that's when I he was down the road so I stopped and talked to him but that's it. Like >> Okay. Who do you live here with? >> Officers speak with the child's father who acknowledges ongoing safety issues with doors and fencing but cites financial struggles. >> My fiance and my other two kids but none of them are here. He's at work and my other kids are at school. >> Okay. about how long do you think he was outside for? >> Um, it didn't seem like that long, but he said he was probably gone for like 45 minutes. So, I'm not sure. >> Yeah, if you had to give an approximate time, it's 1:54 now. What time did you let him go outside when you started cleaning or doing whatever you >> probably like around 1:00? >> I was like saying he goes back there all the time place and don't go nowhere. But >> can you show us uh the fence where it got knocked down? >> And you were at work this morning. >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. We'll be >> grandma just told me what happened. But um yeah, the fence is pretty tore up itself. Um I've blocked holes and you know, reshoveled [ __ ] back in there and everything. Do >> you mind if I just go talk to you over here for a second? Step over here. >> Just do me a favor. Keep your hands out of your pocket for me. There you go. >> Sorry. Where do you work at? >> Uh, I work for AIM law service. >> Okay. Is it like local here? >> Yeah, it's local. Okay. Just just law enforcement. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> Keep your pockets. I know it's a normal practice. People want to do that. Um, is it normal protocol for him to go out back and play? >> Uh, yeah. Yeah, they they play out back all the time. I mean, he's gotten out a couple times, but you know, right here where we got him, you know, seen him go out or whatever and catch him. >> Every time he's gotten out like where >> he's only gotten out right here. He's never That's that's never happened before. >> He's gotten out from like the backyard or from inside the house. >> The backyard. Well, that's why we got like a I don't know if you've seen in our house, we got a lock thing on the front door cuz he just learned how to open the damn front door. >> Um my wife works at nights, so a lot of times she's in there, you know, just laying down and, you know, we make sure everything's locked up where he can't get out. >> Um unfortunately, I don't know if you walked out back, like I said. >> Yeah, we walked out. >> Um unfortunately, if you look out back, like I said, that fence is is tore up. the last thing he got out from the back. Which side of the fence was it on? >> I want to I want to say this side, but this side I had to like put things in there and everything. You know what I mean? So, we uh we're actually talking about cuz they got a good fence and they got somewhat of a fence back here and that back one's okay. >> Just seeing if we could, you know, with our tax money >> fence something better in than what's there because they pushed this side over. I had to take up another piece of panel and basically put it together with, you know what I mean? >> Right. >> I don't know if you seen it, but I had, that's what I had to do for the time being. Um, we were paycheck paycheck. We ain't got [ __ ] money. You know what I mean? So, >> but yeah, that scared the [ __ ] out of me when I pull up. What the hell is two cops doing? >> Yeah. So, essentially, we're here because he was found in the roadway. Okay. A few people, a good Samaritan stopped. They stood out with him for a while. They called us. I stood out with him for a little while until we were able to figure out this is where he, you know, lives and all the information. He's three, so he he couldn't give me his name or anything like that, which is typical. I understand that. Um, >> right. He can count to 20 and knows his ABCs. >> Yeah, he knows. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. He knows all his colors. >> Again, I was a stranger to him, too, so he might not be open to talk. I understand that. But again, so now we just kind of have to figure out he's back inside. You know, he's in good. >> Officers informed the mother she is being placed under arrest for child neglect. She cooperates and is handcuffed in front due to pregnancy. >> Like I know he's a little upset, so All right. So, Tessy, essentially, you are going to be placed under arrest today. Okay. >> Oh my god. For what? >> This is for child neglect. All right. So, do me a favor. Um, I've never even been to church. >> How far along are you? >> I'm like like 13 weeks. >> 13 weeks. Okay. All right. You've been cooperative with me so far. Do you want me to cut you in the front? Are you okay with that? >> Cuz I do have to cut you. So, are you okay with the front? >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Just put your hands together just like this. There you [laughter] go. Can I think I call my mom? >> Say that again. >> Can I call my mom? >> I'll try and figure out something. We'll make sure that >> Do you have anything on you in your pocket? All right. I'm going to walk you to my patrol vehicle over here. Okay. >> I talked to him right now. >> Well, I'll let him come talk to you in a second. Okay. We're going to go on to the passenger side. Here you go. Go ahead. All right. Space my patrol vehicle for me. All right. Spread your feet apart. You said nothing on you at all. No keys, wallet, anything like that. Okay. Yeah, we'll be right up there at you in a second. >> Talk to you in a second. You probably don't want the kid out. >> I'll figure out a >> I'm not leaving. I'm going [laughter] to be here for a while. Talk to him in all right. >> The mother is transported to jail. Officers confirm the child is safe and that child welfare services will follow up. want to have a seat. Put your bottom in first and just watch your head. Okay, >> there you go. >> All right, I'll roll the window down for you just a second. The the child's mother was charged with child neglect without great bodily harm after officers determined the toddler had been left unsupervised for an extended period and wandered into a roadway. She was booked into the Flaggler County Jail released after posting a $500 bond and the case was referred to Florida Department of Children and Families DCF for further investigation and follow-up. Remember toddlers require constant supervision. Familiar routines can become dangerous when safety barriers fail. Even unintentional neglect can result in arrest and child welfare involvement when a child's safety is compromised. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. That dog is a hero, but this could have ended so much worse. An hour alone near traffic is terrifying. Glad someone called it in. This shows how fast normal routines can turn into emergencies. The tension is already high, or so it seems. What the body cam captures next saves a life pause and comment what you do here. >> Y Crystal, why you acting like that? >> [music] >> On October 30th, 2022, deputies in Florida initiated a traffic stop after receiving multiple 911 calls, reporting a vehicle swerving, crossing lanes, and running off the road. >> So, you've had not one sip of alcohol? >> No, I actually got off to work this morning. >> So, are you in the process of moving or something or how can What's with the suitcase?

Bowers exits the vehicle and explains she is dealing with emotional stress and a prior injury, but continues to show signs of impairment. >> I know I seem emotional. >> It's not that you seem intoxicated to me. I'm just going to be honest with you. >> Yeah, it's >> Can you get one? >> I can do a sobriety test. I'm pretty sure I can pass it. >> Okay.

Okay. All right. We'll hurry. Okay. All right. Crystal Bowers was arrested and charged with driving under the influence DUI and two counts of child neglect after deputies determined she was impaired and transporting children without proper restraints. Authorities also discovered an active warrant from another county, resulting in additional legal proceedings. She was booked into the Lake County jail and held on a $5,000 bond. Remember, driving while impaired puts children at immediate risk and escalates legal consequences quickly. Lack of proper child restraints alone can trigger child neglect charges. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. The kids not being in car seats was terrifying. She kept denying it, but the signs were obvious. Thankful the officer stopped this before someone got hurt. You think this call can't get worse? The body cam captures the exact second officer's rush in comment.

What we do, we decide if it's child neglect or is it something that [music] we could all end up doing like ah I went to go two doors down to talk to my neighbor and then he was like hey come check out this thing and I walked into his house and then we started talking and I didn't realize I've been gone for 20 30 minutes and my kids. So the problem there's a couple problems here. Police state that all legal elements for neglect are present due to age duration and level of risk to the child. >> There's no age in the books, meaning the Florida State statute book. There's no age. We have to evaluate kids on how mature they are. She is mature, but she's six. She does know your information. She did know the phone number. The problem with this one is she was and nothing she did wrong. She was passed out sleeping. Yeah. >> So, if she was watching TV, that would be a totally different scenar. So, you can bring them upstairs. We'll come and talk to you. We're still deciding things. All right. So, just give us a little bit. You can bring the kids upstairs if you want. Let's call and talk. >> All right. We just want to talk to you out here, not down in front of the kids because um we don't want them to see. So, you are going to go to jail for today. You might even speak to a judge today >> because of all the elements. All the elements. >> Arrangements are made for the children to stay with a trusted adult while the mother is taken into custody. >> Of the crime are there. You left the kid. Hold on. Miss Tommy Jesse. >> It's Florida State statue. Can the kids stay with your best friend? Is that okay? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, you have a cell phone. >> Is your cell phone with you? >> Yeah, she has it right here. >> Okay. So, he's going to have you walk down and I'll explain to your friend, your best friend, what's going on and then you can call your husband with your phone down there. >> Yeah, we just want to let the kids see you in the handcuffs. Okay. >> So, yeah, just walk down with him. He'll explain everything to you. >> Can I finish? Just tell them like my my sister. I'm not going to go crazy, guys. >> I'm going to tell her for you. >> The thing is, you're just going to walk me down. We don't want you kiss already enough. >> Just give me one second. >> What do you need to do? >> I'm just going to tell my friend. >> I'm going to tell. >> So, let's call if you want call her out. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. If you want, just call her out. >> Sorry, let I don't know where you guys tell her if she has any questions, let me know. But we're going to walk her down. We'll get her stuff out of the vehicle. >> Which car is yours? >> The red one. >> So, should I cancel this event? Like, >> when is the event for tomorrow? >> Well, we don't know. We don't know yet cuz you could be out today. >> I can take my phone, right? >> Yes. >> Oh, so Oh, I got to get arrested and all that. >> Jesus Christ. >> Well, no. Let's Let's get that. >> I know. >> No, no, no. >> Hey, you got bad shoulders, right? >> Oh, yeah. I got a broken arm. >> We're going to handcuff you in the front since you have bad shoulders. You understand? >> Yeah. >> This is crazy. All right, guys. So, can we please see a judge and like see how this works out? >> We're trying to do this fast. >> Oh my gosh. >> This is so embarrassing. So crazy. >> You're going to see him today through like a Zoom call most likely. >> Who the the judge? >> Okay. and he's going to let you know how long or whatever it is. >> All right. Thank you. Wait, this is where they do mug shots and all that, too? >> Have you ever been arrested before? >> No. >> All right. Thanks. >> Jesus Christ. >> The mother was taken into custody and formally charged with child neglect. The children were placed with a trusted caregiver and the case was referred for judicial review and further child welfare assessment. Remember, leaving young children alone, even for a short errand, can result in serious legal consequences. What feels like a quick task can quickly become a life-threatening situation for a child. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. That child could have been harmed in traffic. This is exactly why you never leave kids home alone. Glad someone stopped and called the police. You think the officers were out of options here? Watch what happens next on the body cam and tell us if you would have done the same. >> I explained that to you though. I I mean I explain everything to both of you to for her to be >> You're going to go to jail. Okay. He's not going to go to jail. You just admitted to me that you pulled his hair and then he slapped you. Okay. So technically you started the fight and now you're telling that he's going to that's not it's all >> on May 4th 20125 in Ohio. A mother arrives from out of state [music] to pick up her young son from the father's residence. Tension escalates when the grandmother who usually supervises visits is not present. talking to me and while I'm still letting him back there get >> what >> these dude he told me as I'm get I'm I'm knocking on the door he open the big door talk about something you you he's like okay I'm getting him ready you go wait in the car I'm like I'm not waiting in the car I hang up the phone with him I call his nana his nana like I'm not in the house right now I can call his older brother his older brother came open the door now I'm in the house talking to his nephew the little boy that's sitting on the couch he talk about he wants to come with me, all type of [ __ ] I'm on the phone with my mom with me. >> On the phone my mom. You talking about you're scared of my girlfriend? Blah blah blah. And she says she saw you boy. I'm here to get my son and your girlfriend saw me if it was a problem then she beat me up. So as I'm going back there I'm asking my son like, "Hey, how you doing? Hey mommy, you hugging me." He hugging me. Now I'm in the living room. He all got his fears in my face. I pulled him by his hair cuz why you all in my face and you calling me out by name? Then he gonna turn around, slap me, run to his room, talk about some you. Okay, now you want to do this. I'm about to call the police and she dropped her phone and I swear to God, you're about to I swear to God, I'm telling his men, I'm about to turn your house into Swiss cheese. I don't care about none of that. Yes, I am. Cuz he's to put his hands on me. >> I don't care. So you said you put your hand on him, grabbed him by his >> Yeah. Well, he was pointing in her face. She said she pulled his hair cuz at this point in time, she got her son in her arms. Why is she making it a problem every time she pick up her son? >> You have a corridor. Does he have like corridor visitation? >> No. >> Why do you let him? >> I let him get the baby because of his nana. >> He lives with his grandmother. >> I know. And I told him, I just told his nana that I don't want the baby to be um unfreaking supervised without her being around because I don't trust him. He always doing something weird and it's always something that Nana is not around. And now since went to church and she don't have the baby, I'm I'm asking him like >> how old are you? >> I'm 23. So, it sounds like to me you're making a huge effort, right, to like drive to a different state >> to let a dude see his kid >> who causes a problem every single time. >> I gave him to the grandmother, but he causing you the problem and not >> What's your address? The police about to come. >> What's your address? >> I understand you want the >> inside the home. A verbal argument turns physical. The mother admits pulling the father's hair while holding the child. The father responds by striking her grandma. However, if you know he stays there and you know he causes a problem every time. You're not ordered by the court to do it. >> So don't do it. Like how much I mean it has to cost you like $100 in gas just to drive here. >> It do. And then you got to wait around. >> Where are you guys from? >> To me, it sound like y'all really not even trying to do nothing. >> You got to listen here. I'll talk to him. Go ahead. Take her over here. >> The thing is the grandmother had called and asked if she could see the baby. They're >> not trying to do [ __ ] >> So my daughter was under the assumption that the grandmother was going to have the baby. >> The mother went to church and the baby because she knew we were leaving out today to go back home. She didn't think her grandson was going to give my daughter a problem with picking up the baby because obviously she may not be aware of the all the other problems he didn't gave her when he always go to pick the baby up. >> Yeah. >> So today it was a different type of problem. Now he put his hands on her. Now he put out a gun on her. >> You know what I'm saying? So like >> after today I doubt if she even bring the baby back up here. That's my daughter. I'm not gonna we're not gonna let him see him no more regardless of the grandma's thoughts or whatever because it was strictly on the grandma like I'm not going to get to see my grandson till he's 6 years old and he ain't going to remember us but he keep giving problems. >> So I always tell people help us help you >> one put them on papers for child support. >> They won't do it in child they won't do any child support because we stay in the state of Pennsylvania and he's in Ohio. >> Well since nobody do something about it. How about that? here. You got to quit. You're on camera threatening to somebody. >> You can't say stuff like that. >> Just walk to the car. That is never putting no gun in my face. Talk about he go in the house. I'm talking to the officer over there. >> Sorry. She is really upset. >> I understand that. But at the same time, you know what I mean? I try to I try to alleviate things long term, >> right? >> Yeah. >> So, at least >> I don't I've never heard that child support. >> Whatever state line came down to do the DNA test and everything, they were going to put him on child support. They found out Pennsylvania found out that he stays in another state, so they can't really enforce it. >> And then since we live in Pennsylvania and not up here in Ohio, Ohio can't enforce it. It's like interstate type stuff going on. >> In our call service notes, it states that she called us over here, but she in our call service notes, it's stating that she even stated to the call taker that she slapped him first and then Okay, I just I just want to without her getting multiple family members become involved. The child begins crying and allegations are made that the father retrieved a firearm during the dispute. >> So when she was on a she was on FaceTime with me cuz I called her and asked her cuz what time are we getting back on the road to go back to Pennsylvania. She said I'm here getting the baby now. She was banging on the door and I can hear him yelling get the off my door. >> She was like just give me my son so I can leave. So, I guess she called his grandmother and the grandmother called the older brother and he came and opened the door and um on FaceTime and this is only what I'm witnessing. Um she walked in the back, she got the baby, the baby's hugging her, he's talking to me on the phone >> and he I hear him calling her all kinds of and stuff and I see his finger in the camera like touching her face. >> So, I seen her she pulled cuz he has dreads. She pulled his dreads and said >> like kind of like pushed him back and told him, "Get your finger." like instigating and why she holding her son. >> So, um I said, "Diamond, just get the baby and leave." So, I called her girlfriend >> and told her to go in the house and get her so you guys can just go ahead and leave out. But while she's going in the house to get her, I'm still on FaceTime with her. And he smacked her and her phone >> like smacked her the phone out of her hand. >> No, he smacked her across the face >> cuz the phone's like this in her face and his hand went across like this. Her phone dropped. My daughter's very aggressive. Yeah. >> I keep telling her she can't fight men, you know. But the phone dropped and I heard the baby crying and he got the phone. He said, "Daddy hit mommy Gaga." >> And I was like, "Okay." Cuz I'm all the way on the north side of Akan. I rushed over here, called them. She said that they were in the parking lot that my daughter had just called the police and everything. So, we sat here. But my son also pulled up too because he don't like me hitting on his sister. >> Yeah. >> So, >> yeah. I mean, I understand that. We don't want anything more to transpire. I mean, >> and then I guess he knifled. He went in the back and got a gun because my daughter was actually about to start fighting him. >> Yeah. >> And he know how my daughter is. She will fight a guy like she box. She not supposed to be fighting, but he know like he won't be able to physically beat her street wise. So, he went in the back and got a gun and started pointing at her and told her that she was on today in front of another minor child that's in the home. Yep. Um, is your daughter gonna be a little >> Officers arrive and separate parties. The mother is visibly upset and repeatedly makes verbal threats toward the father while speaking with police. >> Talk to me think if I try to get that story from her cuz I mean at the end of the day I mean I got to hear her statement and stuff and then we want to go talk to him especially if she doesn't have any visible injuries right now. Um prosecutors might feel kind of funny about signing the charge. So, I just want to try to uh talk to her and figure out what all we have going on. So, >> he is. But you have to you have to listen. >> So, I I mean I I know you're very frustrated and upset. Okay. But I just can you tell me the story of what happened over there. And do you have any injuries on you right now? Okay. >> Do you have any injuries at all or anything that I need to be aware of? >> I don't know. Is it a mark on my face? >> I'm not sure. I know I got a busted lip in the inside. >> All right. You want to show me that >> at the top? >> Okay, I'll take a picture. >> Li too much, but yeah, he still put his hands on me. He's about to get what the he deserve. >> What's your What's your What's your first name? >> I'm not listening. >> Can you see what type of vehicle driving? >> Yeah, I know you're very upset, Diamond. Nobody should be put Nobody should be putting their hands on you. Be careful what you say. Okay, >> I don't care. Calm down. >> All right. So, you went over there to pick up your child. Okay. You guys started an argument. He was tapping your nose. >> I was knocking on the door so I could get inside the house. The screen door is locked. >> And he opened the big door. He's telling me, >> "Okay, don't rush me." But I already told him about 7 minutes ago that I was on my way. I'm at the smoke shop getting some freaking mouths so I can smoke. >> Okay. >> And I go around there. I'm knocking on the door. He opened the door. He told me to stop rushing him. He's going to get him ready and some more stuff. So I hang up the phone with him. I call his nana. His nana said that she's not at home. She was still at church or something like that. She said she was going to call his older brother. His older brother came open the door. Now I'm in the house talking to their nephew and his nephew all talking to me. And while I'm still letting him back there get my son ready. And as I'm done talking to him, I walk in the back of the room where where I know his bedroom is. And I see my son. So I grab my son. He hugging me. I'm talking to him. I take him out in the living room. Now he's telling me I'm scared of his girlfriend. She saw me and some more [ __ ] I don't know. But if it was really a problem with his girlfriend and me, why didn't she just beat me up? I walked 20 minutes somewhere and all the way back to your kick my socks off, crawling the bed. Now she got somebody texting my phone. Talk about where you at. >> I got Toyota. >> What's What's really this? >> So when you were in the house, what did he like? What did he do to your like my face calling me all types of all types of stuff? Officers explain that her own statements on body camera combined with her admission of initiating physical contact place her at legal risk. >> I do what I need the best to defend myself and I pull him by his hair and he turns around. He slap me. Now everything drops out of my hand. My son is on the couch. His brother talk about he's doing too much and some [ __ ] After he slapped me, he ran to his room, grabbed a gun, waving it in my face, talking about I was going to some more [ __ ] So I'm trying to call my brother. My brother's not answering the phone. So I she my mom end up calling her because the phone got knocked out of my hand. So she don't know what's necessarily going on in there. So she comes in the house and now she's trying to grab me as I'm telling my baby dad's brother to grab my son's shoes and stuff so I can go >> and >> he just over here just still flashing his gun talk about you're going to you're going to blah blah blah. So I'm telling all right since you want to do this I'm calling the police. I'm pressing charges and he's going to jail. And he's not never seeing my son again. And I want to yall not going to do [ __ ] about it. >> Well, I'd be very careful that cuz you can you I mean, if you want to go to jail, if you want to go to jail, that's no problem. Because see, here's the problem. You're going to listen to me. You're going to listen to me. You're going to listen to me. Okay? Cuz you're not listening to me. Okay? You keep saying that you're going to go to jail. Okay? He's not going to go to jail. You just admitted to me that you pulled his hair and then he slapped you. Okay? So technically you started the fight and now you're telling that he's going to that's not poked into my face. >> You're not understand Diamond. I'm trying to be very calm with you and try to explain this to you. I'm trying to keep you from getting hemmed up. Okay. But you are digging yourself a hole hole. Okay. >> You are literally saying he's going to end up like that. That's not good. Okay. That's all in my body. Yeah. Okay. Would you like to go to jail? >> Cuz I have no problem sending you jail. >> A threat. You can't and you can't. >> You can't do that. But he already threatened me first. >> And they're about to take care of Diamond. You're not Diamond. You're not understanding what I'm talking about. >> Okay, I hear you. >> No, you're not. Because you're stating you literally Yes. He was in your face, but you pulled his hair and then he hits you. Okay. You started the physical altercation here. >> Touching me in my face. >> Why is he touching me? >> Okay. Well, we're going to we're going to go over We're going to go over We're going to go over to Merin. >> It's a yellow door on Merin. >> Okay. I have the address. I have the address. Okay. But you need to be very careful about what you're saying. >> And I am I >> You're not You're not because this is all on body cam. So if anything if anything if anything on body cam >> no weapons to harm him. >> Are you are you actually you mind if I talk to you over here? >> Okay. So I'm trying to keep from arresting her right now and she's not understanding this. Okay. He keeps saying she keeps saying he's going to end up stuff like that if we don't do something. One, she pulled his hair first. She started the physical altercation here. Yes. He that's still I mean as men you know we don't want to be putting our hands on women right but she started a physical altercation she's now stating that he's going to end up if we don't do anything she could go to jail okay especially it's all on body cam so if anything happens to him >> right >> yeah I could put her in hand right now >> and I mean I'm >> and I'm trying I'm going to go over to Martin and figure out what happened I'm going to go talk to him okay but she needs to chill out cuz yes we have enough to arrest her right now we we have enough should rest right now. >> I know. >> Officers explain that her own statements on body camera combined with her admission of initiating physical contact place her at legal risk. >> Dang. Okay. >> And she don't have no weapon. We don't >> I understand. I understand that. So, what it's called is aggravated menacing. I know she's very upset. Okay. But I'm trying to explain something. She admitted to me on body cam. Okay. Yes. He was in her face, but she grabbed his dreads first and that's when she got slapped. Okay. She physically grabbed him first. >> That's what I told you. I said she feel like she can be the man. >> But my point is is like she start she's starting that. Yes. He's in her face and that's I mean obviously I mean we got the we got the kid. I mean look he's been crying, right? And we want to think of the kids. This none of this is right. But she >> right now she's in the wrong right now. And I can't even go over to Merin. Okay. So I mean my supervisor here I'm going to talk to him. Okay. Cuz I technically have enough to arrest her right now for aggravated menacing on that. Hey, Diamond. Can I talk to you for a minute again? >> All right. I'm just going to leave you behind the back. Okay. >> Why? Can you take my stuff off my >> Yeah, we will. So, right. >> I don't understand.

Her kids got school and everything. >> Mom, grab my stuff. Figure all that out. >> Hold on. Hold on. She She's under arrest. >> It's nothing but my AirPod and my life. >> We have an officer that will grab it all out. >> Okay. Look. Get my AirPod on the ground right there. >> All right. We'll get there. All right. Let's take her over there. Colleen, over here. Unless you need gloves. >> What are you doing? >> I can't eat my gun. Stop. >> What's that? >> Like I said, >> just chill out. >> I told you, Diamond. >> You did that to my handcuff. >> All right. >> Yeah, we're we're not speeding through anything. We're take we're going to make sure everything's taken care of and we do everything correctly. >> Police determine probable cause for arrest based on aggravated, menacing, and domestic violence related statements. >> I'm going to go over there. I I I >> I'm just asking. >> Yeah, I'm going to go over. Yeah, I'm going to go over there. Don't worry. Cuz I, like I said, I want to have everything for my case here. Okay. >> Goddamn. Which one are y'all taking? >> I I'm talking to your mom. >> Can we put her in your car since I'm going to go over to Merin? >> She was making >> I don't give a >> d See, this is this is why you're in cuffs. I tried telling you >> she'll have a court date tomorrow morning. >> Call my kids out of school. >> I'll call them home. >> Let's see. >> Okay. So, I have mom here, brother. Since you guys are family, let me talk to you guys over here real quick. Okay. So, >> like I explained to both of you guys numerous times, I told her to stop saying what she was saying. She proceeded to keep saying that he's going to end up. Okay, this does not mitigate anything that happened over there. Okay, where she's hemmed up right now is what she was saying in front of us, okay? We're still going to do our due diligence and go over there, but her stating multiple times after we've told her to stop, okay, that he's going to end up, okay, is domestic violence menacing because they share a child in common and in the state of Ohio, domestic violence is a preferred arrest, okay? So, unfortunately, >> she's got herself now hemmed up. Okay. She did that to herself. She would have been cool. >> Okay. We wouldn't be in this boat. >> Yeah. But she upset. >> I I completely I see why she's upset. I would be upset. Okay. But she's still You can't be saying that. >> I understand. >> Okay. Especially, let's say something does happen to him now. Okay. Who are they going to come to? Her immediately. I tried telling her to stop and she refused cuz she's upset. I know. But now she's hemmed up. >> Okay. >> So, you'll have a court date tomorrow. >> Okay. And you said she has full custody of the child. >> Yes. >> Okay. Um, if she signs a custody release form, would you be willing to take the child? >> The mother is arrested. Officers later interview the father who denies using a firearm. A temporary protection order is issued and child services are notified. >> How are her kids? >> I know. I I have to ask that. Okay. cuz she has to assign a custody release. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you. >> Yep. >> So, we don't have a gun on us. All right. Cuz there was talk of a gun. That's why I'm asking. All right. >> Oh, you must have talked to the female. >> Uh, yep. So, what's going on today? >> Basically, she came to pick my son up. Um, I simply told her when she got here, she could wait inside the car, you know. Um, nobody was being rushed or anything. She said she didn't want to wait. So, I said, "Okay." I waited, got him dressed, got my bag. I told her I told my people not to let her in the house cuz I knew how she was going to act and I knew how she was. My nana texted my brother and said, "Let her in the house. This is her house." He let her in the house. Simple. I said, "Okay, give me 5 minutes." Got the bag ready. Got the clothes ready. I said some little [ __ ] She said some little [ __ ] Went back and forth. I gave him my son. As soon as I'm turning away, pull my hair yanked me. So I must face like out of the house. And then and then after I did that, after I did that, she come outside throwing [ __ ] at my nana's window, banging on the door. >> You can't you cannot come here. You cannot come here and think you about to run [ __ ] You don't you don't do that, bro. >> Let them know this ain't the first time. >> And this is the first Nana. >> That's Nana in a dress. >> Okay. All right. Do you mind if I talk to you inside real quick? >> Okay. >> I I raised my sons not to hit women at all. And if push come to shove, now I don't do the violence, but push come to shove. HE GOT MY DAUGHTER right here and me to handle the women that that don't know how to handle theelves. >> But I refuse for my son to get a domestic violent charge. He's a good boy. >> No, they got no >> He works. He pays taxes. He takes care of his son. >> We don't need this drama. This man has medical problems and everything else. I I definitely would make it known like don't let her in the house ever. >> My nana don't she don't she don't >> I know she's from a different generation and that's exactly what my mom said. >> So let's continue talking. So I just got to ask you a couple questions real quick. Okay. So >> after basically she grabbed her and stuff like that, was a firearm ever in play? Did you grab a firearm and just wave it around at all? Anything else like that? >> No. >> No. So that didn't happen at all. No. >> Okay. Okay. So, there shouldn't be any video of that. >> No. >> No. Okay. So, right now, I just I'm going to explain. She's under arrest right now. >> Okay. >> Uh because she was openly making threats towards you in front of us after we told her to stop. She continued. So, she's Yeah. So, she is now under arrest for domestic violence menacing. Okay. >> Okay. So, she's going to be going to jail today. >> Okay. >> Okay. Well, we wanted to come over and talk to you and figure out what happened. Okay. Uh I talked to your grandma. Okay. it. It's her choice, okay? She can't be coerced. She said that that should take care of everything. There's not going to be any charges for the damaging of the lamps. Okay? There's going to be a restraining order that's automatically put in place where she cannot contact you. Okay? So, don't be contacting her. >> Listen to this. >> I want to hear this. >> So, there's going to be a restraining order that's automatically put in place. So, listen. That means nobody in his family can be contacting her and she cannot be contacting anybody regardless. Okay, that's a violation. The courts figured that out. >> No, basically no social media, no texting, no calling. >> So, she's going to have a court date tomorrow. Okay. And like I said with the whole child thing, that's going to there's going to be basically CSB will probably just contact. There's not going to be where she's going in the custody, but that's going to be court dates with the child. Okay. If they do contact you, you just tell them that you want them. You're doing she's in the middle of doing the share parenting anyway cuz she's from PA. >> Just be careful though because she does have a little like cut on her lip. Okay. But she even admitted that she grabbed your dreads first. So just be careful. >> Okay. Came close. >> Yeah. That's why I don't that's why I said I don't raise them. If >> if you can get her out, >> then get her out. She's attacking you. >> Yeah. >> 17 meter for a >> me. I got a whole another daughter when he got sisters. >> If push come up, >> I'm not having that. He's not going down for no domestic violence, hitting on no woman cuz I ain't racing right now. Mhm. >> The woman was arrested and charged with aggravated menacing and domestic violence based [music] primarily on her repeated verbal threats made in front of officers after being warned to stop as well as her admission that she initiated physical contact. Remember, children exposed to repeated conflict and instability can experience long-term emotional harm even when no serious injuries occur. In domestic disputes, what you say to police matters just as much as what happened earlier. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. That kid crying in the background is the real tragedy here. Both adults handled this badly, [music] but the threats on body cam sealed her fate. This is why custody and visitation need to be handled through court, not trust. You think the officers were out of options here? Watch what happens next on the body cam [bell] and tell us if you would have done the
