I'm I'm I'm being tortured by a
sanctioned CIA program. You're actually
arrested. What? Tuesday, May 7th, 2024,
Marian County, Florida. The police
receive a call from a Dollar Tree
employee reporting that a man is yelling
incoherently while holding his children
who are screaming for help. The
situation is certainly unusual, but
officers must respond urgently to
prevent a potential escalation and get
the children out of harm's way. I'm
Tyler and this is your daily dose of
crime.
I'm not violent. I don't intend to hurt
anybody. I'm not mentally ill even
though they want people to think that.
I'm I'm severely abused and targeted and
persecuted.
What happened today? I started preaching
over there and giving a testimony about
what I've been going through. And the
Walmart people came came over and said,
"You can't you can't do that there. If
you do that there, we'll call the
police." I said, "Okay, can I come over
here?" And I drove the car right over
here and I parked it right there. Stayed
in the car talking. Didn't even come out
or nothing. Oh, okay. Is there any other
family that lives with you? My wife,
she's working down the street at the uh
at the the health store. Oh, okay. The
vitamin store down the mall. Do you guys
I just dropped her off and I I was on
the way home.
Where do you guys live at? Out in
Umatillaa. Okay. So, who's got my kids?
And this is serious. I love my children.
I this is this is kind of random for an
innocent man to have his children taken
away from him. Yeah, I just got without
explanation. We just got here. So, we
don't know yet. We're going to You don't
know who has my children? Another
officer's in there with them. With them.
So, just making sure they're okay. Can
you understand my concern since this
this land is crawling with I understand.
Do you understand that? You probably see
a lot of that on your be. He's with
Okay, good. They're with one of our our
officers right now. Now, we just want to
make sure they're protect your children.
I think you I think anybody Did you hear
them yelling for help? No, but I saw
people taking my children away that I
didn't know. Okay. Okay. I I was saying
two kids. I got I got them something to
drink. Okay. Do you have any mental
health diagnosis? Here we go. I don't
know cuz I don't know you. I know that
you I know that you said that I don't
know you. So, we're not going to make
this about my mental health. I'm a
persecuted Christian. I'm not trying. I
know you're not. You're you're you're
doing gaslighting procedure of the
Freemasons. I know what you're doing.
Okay. I'm innocent. I don't abuse my
kids. I don't neglect my kids. Okay. I'm
severely persecuted. I'm surrounded by
witches. Okay. Okay. I'm I'm subject to
heavy witchcraft attack. Okay. I've
tried to work in workplaces. I get
pushed out again and again. I'm a target
of the vet. Okay. Okay. Has somebody
tried to hurt you? I'm a target of the
Jesuits. I'm I'm I'm being tortured by a
sanctioned CIA program. Okay. What is
happening to you? I'm I'm getting pain
pain sensations in my head and my wrist.
Okay. Probably linked to medical
malpractice and remote technology or
something. I don't know what's going on.
It's not natural. It's it's it's not
chastisement of God. I'm being hurt by
men. What do you do to to combat that?
Just keep living life.
Okay. I I I I keep living life. God
reduces the pain. The pain's still
there, but but God brings
comfort because I'm protected. Then I
got the helmet of salvation. Officers
speak with the man in the parking lot.
His statements are incoherent. He claims
to be an innocent victim persecuted by
the government and the community and
suffering from both governmental and
spiritual attacks. However, he
consistently shows genuine concern for
his children. It's clear that the man is
mentally unstable, so officers will work
on finding a way to assist him. But
first, they need to ensure the children
are safe and in good condition. A house
where you
live. Where do you guys sleep at night?
Sorry. Can you come sit right
here? Okay. You guys got some snacks in
there, too? Can you
Can you guys tell me about where you
live at? Do you have a house or do you
guys stay in your car or I stay in a
bus? You stay in a bus. Oh, that's
interesting. Is it a nice bus? Is it
big? Is it small? Can you tell me about
it? Oh, I think
Do you like that?
Do you guys stay by yourselves or who
lives with you?
Who lives with you and the bus? Mom and
dad.
Just y'all four. Yeah. Okay. Nobody else
stays there. Do you guys stay at um at a
house in the bus or is it in the woods
somewhere? It's in the woods somewhere.
Gotcha. Okay. Do you guys have any other
family around like grandparents or No.
No. You got some more snacks right here,
too. You see these? You want me to open
it for you? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Do you guys um have any friends that you
talk to or see? No. Yeah.
No. No. Has anybody tried to hurt you?
No. No.
What about in the past? Has anybody hurt
you guys in the past? Still no. No.
Okay. Or do you feel safe with mom and
dad? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Both children who had called for help
due to their father's delirious shouting
appear dangerously malnourished and in
poor hygiene. When questioned, the
officers realize that the children don't
live in ideal conditions. How could they
be living under the care of a mentally
unstable person? The officers need to
find out more and track down the
children's mother to understand the full
situation and take appropriate action.
What is does is Where's mom at now? I
know dad's outside, but where's mom?
Do you know where she works? Some place
in the villages.
Is it a is it a store?
Yeah. Or it's a store. Your dad said
something about a health food store.
Yeah, it is. Do you know the name of it?
No. No. Okay. All right. It seems the
children live with their parents in a
bus out in the woods. They only eat
pre-cooked rice during the day as they
have no way to cook and they rely on a
neighbor for water. The situation is
deeply concerning to the officers. How
is it possible that they are living
under these conditions? The children
can't remember the last time they took a
bath. And from their hygiene, it's clear
they haven't bathed in days. Some
coloring books and crayons, and that you
could go to the back of the table where
the cameras are if you want. Okay. Um,
but I got to go make some calls myself,
too. Do you have their date of birth and
stuff? Yeah. Date.
She kind of knows. She doesn't know what
his date of birth is, though. Okay. Um,
you've been with him the whole time? I'm
sorry. You've been with her the whole
time? I have not been with him the whole
time because I've been with the kids and
different other people. Yeah, I just got
here so I'm not sure exactly what the
story was. My name is Sergeant Warren.
I'm going to tell you what the story is,
but before we go back, I'm going to just
read you your rights and that no one's
in any trouble, but it's because I want
to ask you some questions and we're
obviously doing an investigation. Um,
I'm sure that the other sergeant
explained it to you. So, um, just want
to make sure that you do understand
that. Um, oops, I have a Spanish one.
One second. Let me get one from the
Spanish. I don't though. I don't know
where I grabbed that one and got that
one. Oh my goodness. Onto when you get
him seated. Come back please. When the
children's mother identified as Cassie
Quick arrives, one of the officers
questions her. Cassie explains that this
isn't the first time her husband has
gone through such an episode. She
mentions that he had stopped taking his
bipolar medication some time ago and
despite her efforts, he refuses to
cooperate. The situation is complicated.
She claims to be pregnant and has no one
to help her. She works two jobs to
support her children, and her husband is
supposed to take care of the kids, but
things keep getting worse, and Cassie
doesn't seem to fully realize how her
actions and decisions are affecting her
children. I was just going to say, let
me see your card. I grabbed a Spanish
one, and I don't speak Spanish, so um
just want to talk to her for a few
minutes.
So any Thank you. Okay. So you have the
right to remain silent. Anything you say
can and will be used against you in a
court of law. You have the right to talk
to the lawyer and have them present with
you while you are being questioned. If
you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one
will be appointed to represent you
before any questioning if you wish. You
can decide any time to execute these
rights and not answer any questions or
make any statements. Do you understand
each of these rights?
And having these rights in mind, do you
wish to speak to me? Can we talk about
this? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. Okay.
So, when did this start with him?
So, the first inkling I got of his
bipolar was
probably about 2 years into our
relationship, which would be around
when? I mean, together 11 years. This
will be 11 years now.
So, probably 2016 maybe. And this was
maybe like once every month or so, like
every other month or so, he would do
what you see in there, like rant and
rave and like preach. He called the
street preaching. And at the time, I
didn't really think too much of it. I
was like, that's kind of weird, you
know. It's like, but if that's what he
wants, you know, preach, you know, I
said, "Go ahead." His people are all
different colors and backgrounds. And I
said, "Go ahead." You know, I don't see
any harm in it, you know. But as time
started going on, he I noticed
he it turned like into like an every
month thing. And then like as the year
was going by and like it was like a slow
decline. So like I noticed more times
where he would be agitated and just
pacing around and you know it was
probably like maybe about two years ago
that I was like hey honey this is you
should probably go talk to somebody. And
he's like well he's like no I don't I
don't need help. I said, "No, since then
he just kind of like pushed me off." Was
he diagnosed bipolar? I hear you guys
saying diagnosed bipolar about six years
ago. Was that where is that here or No,
that was in Pittsburgh and he was
prescribed with the carbonation. Okay.
And he was okay for a while.
He was still having on and off episodes,
but he was on a really high dose. And so
it was having side effects where he was
like feeling nauseous. He was getting
headaches and he um I told him not to
get off of it, but he ended up getting
himself off of it. I said, "Look, just
break it in half and just half the dose
for yourself." Do you feel that way? I
said, "But I don't want you to just go
off of it simply because I know the side
effects, you know, getting off your
medications like that." When did you
guys come to Florida?
This will be almost a full year. Okay.
Almost a year. What brought you here?
Well, I'm going to school for
integrative health science and so like
there's a lot of opportunity for me with
the job field down here and also the the
climate is ideal for me to garden and so
that's why we move down here. Okay. It's
just a beautiful climate, you know. So,
how did do you guys have a place to stay
or you where do you stay at? We stay in
like the country so
Okay. Yeah. Is it What's your address?
Do you have that? Yeah, I have it
memorized by you already get it. Use the
one on your license you told me. Is that
the physical one on my license? Yeah,
that's your physical address. Okay,
gotcha. And is there a house there or
where do you guys stay at? It's a it's a
schooly it's a converted school bus. Oh,
gotcha. Okay. So, it has like we we're
on solar power. We have electricity with
running water. We have everything like
that. Okay. So, you do have electricity
for the kids and stuff. Yeah, we have
all that. Okay. Yeah, it's a little
rustic, but it's all is there. Yes.
Okay. You guys have food? Yes, we have
food. Okay. So, do the kids go to
school? We homeschool them. Okay. Yeah.
What grade a homeschooling program for
them yet, but I've been teaching them
via, you know, different um sources on
the internet, different videos, and then
we have the school the curriculum school
books that we go by. Okay. Yeah. So, no
specific program. Not a program that we
found yet cuz we're still looking to
find the right one. That's it. Okay.
Does do do you homeschool him or does
he? Or is it a I proactively homeschool
him? I try to get him to homeschool, but
he he's like in the past couple months
I've noticed things like he hasn't been
doing like house chores and just
sometimes he'll forget to like come and
like I have to remind him a couple times
to come and get me from work cuz he just
gets sidetracked on online. I guess he
looks at Instagram or something and like
the dishes are they need to be done
right now and just just like stuff like
that like little stuff, you know. So,
does he work at all? He doesn't work at
all. And I told him I said you need to
be busy with something, you know, for
for yourself, for your mind, you know?
It's like go find a church, go find a
fellowship. Um, I said, "Why don't you
just find something part-time, part time
that you like, go work at a nursery, go
find a factory job, just something where
you're like in the zone. You don't have
to interact with people.
And you said you have two jobs. I have
two jobs. Where do you work at? Uh Lake
Nutrition Center and Cracker Girl. Okay.
And I'm an online student right now.
Cassie shares that the children have
never attended school, but she plans to
start homeschooling them once she finds
a suitable program. Since then, the kids
have been staying at home with their
father, but things have been getting
progressively worse. While Cassie works,
her husband does nothing around the
house and neglects the kids' care and
the state of the home.
Yep. So, does he take care of the kids
when you're at He takes care of the kids
while I'm at work. Do you have any
concerns with him taking care of the
kids? I don't have any concerns. No, I
just my only concern is whenever he
starts like today, um I don't have any
fear of the kids being a danger. I just
feel like other people will view him as
a danger because what he's saying and
his tone of voice sounds more hostile.
So, hey, this is the DCF. Um I think he
told you we were calling them. Yeah.
Okay. This is mom.
This is mom.
Dad's over there. Um we have determined
he will be under grass since then. Um
the children are inside. So who do you
want to speak to first? Kids. Okay. Once
all of you stay and we'll get we'll get
you in there in just a few minutes.
Okay.
I didn't want her to talk to them yet
because I didn't want any kind of
coaching going on. Um I mean she looks
like clean and whatever. So why are you
leaving this is my concern.
Oh this is the other supervisor. Hold
on.
Got
Hey, can you tell me where the officer
is
in the stores? Okay. Sorry to ask you
something.
You started to ask me something.
Okay.
Hi. Hello guys. This is a friend of
mine.
Is that your name?
Okay. and Miss
Thank you so much. Thank you. But they
call you. Yeah, that's what she told me.
Is that your name? Yeah.
And what's mom's name? Do you know
Casey? I heard that you guys know one of
my friends. Do you remember Mr. Carrie?
He's a really tall black guy with
dreads. Do you remember him?
No, I don't. No, he came out to your
house before.
You don't remember him? No. No. Can you
kind of tell me what happened today?
[Music]
Oh, so you guys were with dad and then
what happened? How was Isaac
overreacting?
A DCF agent arrives on scene after the
officers request assistance. The agent
speaks with the children to document the
facts and assess their current
condition. Both kids are with an officer
in the store storage room playing with
various toys, laughing and having fun,
which makes it easy for the DCF agent to
talk to them and gather more information
about their lives. Authorities need to
know the full truth before taking
further
action. You need a break.
I was just wondering what we're doing
and where we're at. For him, I figured
um her maybe criminal just left this
knowing. So, we're still trying to
determine on that side of things. And
everybody waving already got all the
written statements. How are you doing?
Show me. I started work at 10:00 in the
morning. So, the I should have made him
something, but I So you didn't see if
they ate before their home. They they
don't they never tell me that
they're always eat. And I see like in
the car bed like I've seen like empty
bowl of noodles and you know, so they
just kind of like fend for themselves
and go get No,
yeah. So they Oh, no. Trust me, they
don't they don't like go ahead and make
their own stuff. So they didn't eat
before 10:00 before you left. They
should have ate. Yeah, they should have
ate. I was at work all day, so I don't
know. You would have to ask him, right?
But you said you you got to work at 10,
right? So, were they still sleeping? Uh,
the girls still sleeping.
Okay. The boy, he just he just woke up.
So, then you guys woke him up, you guys
got in the car, went to work, and then
came home. Yeah. Okay. Or while he came
over here, obviously. Okay.
Cassie talks to the DCF agent and
explains that the children bathe about
every four days and often eat only
noodles, rice, or canned food as she's
not home and their father doesn't
contribute much in those areas. Quake
knows she can't maintain a family on her
own. But still, the responsibility falls
on her. How will the officers proceed
with the case? What's going to happen
right now is you're
actually Yep. And I'm going to explain
to you what's going on. Okay. But first,
you're going to go with this officer and
then we'll get
I'm going to take this one. Are you
authorizing them to if they pass the
background to give your kids to this
person? Yeah. I don't Yeah. I don't have
another option. I mean, the other option
is
Yeah. Would they be able to keep your
children long term? I don't know.
But I had two hand so she could talk to
me. I was going to say I need She's
coming back. She's not here yet. She
She's Well, she should be here. When you
get to
the pockets or anything? Um, my wallet,
my headphones, I'll get that.
The officers informed Cassie that she'll
be arrested for child neglect. Despite
the poor nutrition, hygiene, and lack of
education, authorities pointed out that
she had previously been offered
resources such as the Florida Hope
program, but chose not to use them.
You're the one in this relationship
that's that's uh competent. He is not
competent. He cannot care for these
kids. He cannot be left in charge of
these kids. Um he can only be in their
life if he can not cause mental or
physical or emotional harm to them. um
if he's um doing those things, he cannot
um be um the caregiver for insure right
now. And if he was on medication and
mentally stable and and getting the help
he needed, that'd be totally different.
But you're leaving him in this care
knowing this, knowing this has been an
ongoing problem, that he's getting
progressively worse, that we've got
people calling because your kids are in
distress being left with that. I don't
have my resources. I'm sorry. I don't
have any resources to to help you. But
you've got to be independent. We can
resources. You can be in a shelter. You
can you they can begin school where at
least they're getting food throughout
the day and they're getting and and so
like they have to have baths daily.
Don't hurt me. They have to have baths
daily. But the DCF has been to your
house already twice. You haven't you
haven't done anything to try to improve.
They haven't told me that. This is the
first You haven't done anything to try
to improve that situation. Instead,
you've continued to leave him with them.
You can't help me. You've got to
physically provide me you, not him. I
know, but I've already help. Don't harm
me, though. Yeah, but that has already
happened up until now. You've had a I
was given no resources. I was given no
outrage. You don't know how to be a
parent. Only you can make those
decisions. Just like we can only give
you the resources. You have to actually
We can give you the information, but you
actually have to go apply yourself to
them. Cassie Quick, age 36, is arrested
for child neglect without causing
serious bodily harm. According to the
Department of Children and Families,
they had opened a case against the
family before and had investigated them
three times in the past. Quick's husband
was detained and evaluated for mental
illness. And Cassie, on the other hand,
had a bail set at $15,000.
