We do have the injuries consistent with it. So, tonight, she is going to be going to jail. But, here's what's going to happen. Because you don't want to pursue charges, and I'm not telling you to do it, but what happens most often than not in these kind of situations is the state is going to reach out to you. They're going to try to get information. What happens with victims who don't want to pursue charges is they just stop talking to the police. >> kids.

I just want them >> Okay. >> And if you don't want to pursue charges or whatever, >> Oh, there's your chain. I'm just I'm going to assume that's your chain. Does it look like it? >> Maybe. I don't know. >> You said there was two? >> There was another one, but I don't know where that went. I don't know. >> I mean, it might be inside. Maybe it just fell off out here. Cuz it doesn't look broken or anything. Kind of looks like it just with the way that is. >> Actually, what Hold on, let me see this.
