However, they soon discover the children are safe at school. And well, this ends up being her reason behind making that false 911 call. >> In that house? >> Because he carries a gun and he said over his dead body if he released the kids to me. >> Okay. >> And he withheld the kids from me in the court order. So, if he's going to do that, we have an open case. It's not very common in an open case that you withhold kids and then you return the kids with pictures of them. I have my phone right now. I can show you the my daughter's face. I can show you my my son's broken toe and the message to my daughter. See you. >> Nope.

I will do anything. >> So you've had no no reason to believe no legitimate reason to believe that house and your kids were at your house and he had a gun there currently and shot them. Either one of them or himself. You had no legitimate reason to believe that, correct? >> Because he withheld that the court order was his action. >> today. Did you have any reason to believe that? So what the legitimate reason to believe that >> he had he didn't win the court hearing and then I won. >> It's not reasonable. What's reasonable today in the last hour that made you make that phone call that somebody was shot in the head in that house? >> That was it. I'm sorry. >> Okay. You have camera >> not reasonable, right? >> You have cameras at the house, right? Okay. You have access to those cameras on your phone?

This is on their first day of school this happened. I wasn't allowed to take the kids to school. He won't even let me have the kids off the bus. So, he's breaking the court order. They said he was afraid that he's going to do it again. So, that I don't have any more answers than that. I >> When's the last time you saw your kids? >> Yesterday. >> Yesterday at what time? >> From 4:00 to 8:00. >> p.m.?

Okay. Is this weekend coming up not your weekend, right? >> It is. >> And this is your weekend? >> Today, Saturday, Sunday. >> So, there's no court order, there's no reason at all that the kids should have been at the house on a Friday at 1:00 p.m. Okay. All right. Um All right. Turn around and put your hands behind your back for me. Put your hands behind your back. Sorry, can you pat her down real quick? >> Nothing on me that's going to stick me, poke me, stab me, cut me, nothing. No. >> All right. >> Nothing in your waistband? Bra? Check your necklace. Nothing in your hair? >> All right. Far car over there. >> Teresa was later charged with felony disorderly conduct and improper use of 911. Uh, inside my purse. >> Uh, in my purse. >> Okay. All right. I got your purse here with your phone, your wallet. >> Thank you. >> Disorderly conduct or false 911 reporting is one of the most common charges when someone knowingly files a false police report or triggers an emergency response without a real emergency. Prosecutors must prove that she knowingly provided false information, intended to provoke a police response and public panic, or deliberately transmitted a false report. In this situation, she contacted police claiming a murder was actively happening and that her children had been unalived, which immediately triggers a high-level emergency response. This is often treated as a class 4 felony in serious false report cases, which can result in 1 to 3 years in prison, possible probation, along with fines. She was also charged with false reporting and misuse of 911 under an enhanced felony classification. Illinois does not always define this as a separate misuse of 911 statute the way some states might, but the behavior is still prosecuted under false reporting or disorderly conduct with a felony enhancement if it leads to a major emergency response. What makes it more serious or rise to felony level? Claiming someone was killed, especially involving children, triggering a large law enforcement response, school safety concerns, and possible panic and mobilization of resources. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
