But your language. >> Hey, knock it off now. >> All right. I die or go to jail. >> Stop. >> These are wilder moments when crackhead parents get caught red-handed. Starting with the moment officers encountered a crackhead mother, 33-year-old Christina Moriceet, who showed up at her daughter's school visibly high on illegal substances and still having some in her possession. >> Uh, my methodone. >> Your methadone.

On November the 6th, 2023 in Leadard, Connecticut, officers responded to a call from a local school about a woman acting out shortly after dropping off her daughter. But this wasn't your typical school drop off drama. When officers arrived, they walked straight into a bizarre encounter. >> Are you okay? Are you okay? >> Yes.

I need to make sure that you're okay to drive. >> Yes, I will. >> You would you'd be willing to do that for me? >> To confirm the obvious, the officers administered a series of field sobriety tests of which she failed woefully. That moment sealed the deal. >> Hi, lawyer. >> Um, there's no need to. I mean, you can eventually. >> Well, because I have medicine issues. I have balance. I'm on zero. My blood levels are at zero and it's supposed to be at 11 the minimum. Okay. I I mean five. I'm really overwhelmed. >> Well, are you you a diabetic? >> I I don't know what I am yet.

You're all right. So, >> you go have a seat. Watch your head when you sit down, though. Okay, there you go. >> Okay. >> As the officers searched her car looking for her phone, they stumbled upon more than just electronics, they found some very interesting things. >> Yeah, I got one of them >> out of the center. >> Yeah, this isn't even hers. And there's one left. >> What is it? Um, >> I'm pretty sure these are dabs on the front. >> Oh, that's sweet. >> What? >> There's a mixture. >> That's a big >> That's a big grind. That's flip the other way. Otherwise, it's all going to pour out. >> Yeah. >> With a search wrapped up and evidence in hand, officers proceeded to take her to the station. But she didn't intend to go quietly. Thank you my god and I'm trying to get fixed. I made a littleing relapse like and now her >> a little relapse. a really little bleed lab and I went straight to the cl clinic to do what I needed to do. I don't have a suspension.

Okay. >> Eventually, Christina was charged with driving under the influence and risk of injury to a young one. Taking irresponsibility to a whole new level. Meet Dena Newman, a crackhead mom who got so drunk that she left her kid at the customer service desk of a local Walmart and forgot that she ever had a kid. >> Her kid's in the customer service. She just Yeah, we got it. >> She just left her kid there. >> Oh my god. >> Are you father of the kid? >> No. >> What kid? >> The kid you left at Walmart. >> We had no kid. >> Hey. Okay. Well, there's a kid at Walmart that you left. >> Stand by. >> We had no kid. It's a YouTube channel. >> On November the 11th, 2024 in New Mexico, officers received a call from a local Walmart about a troubling situation. A visibly intoxicated woman had dropped her child off at the customer service desk and then walked out of the store, leaving a kid behind like a forgotten item and vanished on foot. >> They down on the main street side. >> Yeah, >> that's her right there. >> That's her right there. >> Okay, I see her. >> I think she's trying to wave somebody down. She's drunk >> and she's the one in the street right now. >> Down.

And I asked the kid, I said, "Is this your mom?" And she started crying. She was >> heartbreaking. >> Yeah. Okay. I'll be right back cuz it looks like they're trying to fight. So, can you just hang out for a second? Yeah. >> Officers quickly set out to locate and apprehend her before things could spiral even further out of control. With a child abandoned and her mother stumbling around in an intoxicated state, it was only a matter of time before the situation turned dangerous or tragic. >> Hey, take a seat for me. Take a seat for me. Ma'am, right now you're going to be detained. >> Hey, sir. Back up. She's going to be detained. Man. >> Hey, take a seat. >> Are you father of the kid? >> No. What kid? >> The kid you left at Walmart. >> We have no kids. >> Hey, stay right there. Take a seat. >> We have no kid.

We're YouTube. >> YouTube. What? >> YouTube. >> Okay. Just stand up. Wow, now you're you're pulling me like that. >> It was clear she was in another realm entirely. She seemed disoriented, erratic, and completely disconnected from reality. And one thing was certain, going peacefully with the cops was never an option in her mind. >> No, no, no. Stop. Wow. Really? >> Stop trying to trip us. >> It's a YouTube channel. It's a YouTube channel. It's a YouTube channel. >> Okay. >> Take a seat. >> Take a seat. >> It's a YouTube channel.

So, why were you guys shoving each other over here? >> We'll pick it up here in a second. You need my information? >> Yes, sir, I do. >> There you go. >> Do you guys share a kid together? >> No, that's Spice. >> Is that her kid? >> That's my stepchild, but >> Okay. >> Yes.

Just cuz the way she's acting, you can watch her. You see her off. >> Though she was transported to the station, she still had plenty of chaos left in her to unleash. >> This is going on your head. >> Oh, wait. >> So, you spit on me and I'm not going to have you spit on these guys. Okay. This is just going on. >> You spit on me. Okay. I'm going to get you out of this seat. These guys are going to escort you inside.

Ain't nobody give on me. >> In the end, she was charged with two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer, and abandonment. She had previously lost custody due to serious concerns about her mental stability and ability to care for them. But when officers arrived, they didn't just find a woman out of line. They found a crazy mom who had lost all touch with reality. >> They feel fine to me and the medics who are medical professionals. >> They feel funny to you. You haven't even touched them. >> Okay. So, how should they feel? >> Are you okay? If you're a normal police officer, then you can take us to the to the hospital. >> I'm an old police officer. Those are normal medics. We are all real. I don't believe it. >> I don't poop. >> I don't believe it. Take us to the hospital. You can go with me to make sure my kids are okay.

I'm not. >> Why won't they take us to the hospital? >> It doesn't make sense why we're waiting for my mom. Why are we waiting for my mom to take them to the hospital? >> Because these kids are not in your custody. In fact, they're the opposite of that. >> Hey, it doesn't matter if they're in my custody or not. It does not matter the fact that I'm telling them to take them to a hospital. They're not taking them to the hospital. I need to go to the hospital. >> You'll be going to the hospital. >> I know we all need to go to the hospital. So, why can't they take us? >> They're not going Grandma can decide ambulance. >> Grandma can decide who has custody of the children if they send to the hospital >> right now.

I'm not letting my kids go. >> It's Britney. >> Yes. >> I'm not assisting nothing. >> I need you to stand up and put >> No. Normal police officers would not do this. >> I got to put your hand. >> They would not do this. No. >> No. You guys would not do this. >> You need to stand up for us. >> Normal police don't do this. Please. >> One thing was certain. Her grip on reality was long gone. Her perceptions were completely warped. Yet, she couldn't understand why the officers weren't taking her seriously. But instead of backing down, she was determined not to let the cops or common sense stand in her way. >> We're not going to do that. >> No, please. I'm telling you, >> you said I can stay until my mom gets here. >> We have someone near mom's house. We need >> No, you guys said it. >> We need to get you over to the hospital. >> Okay.

That is not right that I have to leave my kid. Please. >> Whatever she was high on had clearly taken a toll. Her mind was barely hanging on, but she was always one small trigger away from completely snapping. And nothing set her off more than the thought of losing the very kids she had unknowingly been pulling in harm's way all along. >> Why? What is you? I'm not leaving my kids. Please. Please. I don't want to leave my kids. Stop. You're not real. You're not real. >> Stand by. >> You're not real. Please prove to me that you're real before you take my kids.

Up next is a case of a mother who showed up at her child's school completely drunk. >> Because you're not going anywhere near the car because you're under the influence. You can either give us and let us go get your phone or you can go to jail. >> Hey, you okay?

These parents might have been reckless, but they were nothing compared to this father, whose actions crossed every imaginable line. His one-year-old daughter ingested his illegal substances, turning a moment of pure negligence into a life-threatening emergency. >> Didn't eat all of it, but you had a good little bit of it. How much of it was left? >> Probably about half out of like, you know, gram or something. >> Honor residue all over the the countertop on top of dog feces everywhere environment for a child to be in at any at any point in time. You're being placed under arrested child in the garden. >> On the 23rd of June 2023, police received a report about a one-year-old girl who had ingested her father's. This caused her stomach to enlarge and led to an urgent admission to the hospital as she required a tube to support her breathing for several days. Once the results came out positive for the police immediately went to confront her father. When they arrived at his residence, they were faced with a father whose level of recklessness was nothing short of dangerous. >> What? What happened? >> I was in my living room watching TV. I was flat out with you. I was about to roll up the blunt. >> Uh-huh. >> And I stopped, set it down, went took a [ __ ] real quick. >> Okay. >> And she ate it. >> I know it comes in various strains.

It just there's there's no child support custody. >> Not married or nothing? >> No. >> No. >> Going to jail, aren't I? >> I mean, I I don't make that decision, but we're here to try and figure out why a one-year-old's in the hospital. So, we have to figure out what's going on with all that. How much more is here? >> I threw it all away. To be honest with you, after seeing that, don't give a about swiping that [ __ ] anymore. I I don't give a about it. that no. >> How come I I just don't get why you didn't call us at all? Even if you thought you'd get to the hospital first >> like even on the way like, "Hey, kid's going through something. I don't know what it is." Like >> I I wasn't I freaking out >> and it's 7:30. What time did you get to the hospital? I noticed they're doing this around 8:30 and that's when I I was probably at the hospital by 9:00. As soon as I noticed what something wasn't right, I'll haul it out. >> How many pe How many kids you got in here? >> Huh? >> Any other kids here? >> No, not right now. They're with I got two kids total. >> So, you have a baby mama that's not in a relationship, but you have a kid a kid in common? >> Yeah. >> No other here. >> No. Making sure you got food, water, all that stuff that you're supposed to have for children. >> Well, I need to go grocery shopping, right? >> Well, I mean, we're not if you're if you got a little bit of food, that's >> the tension was already high, and now it was time for the cops to investigate the living environment. The man led them inside his house's compound, but later realized that he had made a huge mistake in doing so. Inside his house, the police witnessed something beyond anyone's imagination. >> Can you kind of just give me a rundown of what happened last night? Honestly, we're in there watching TV and I rolled one up and I didn't finish rolling it. So, went to the bathroom thinking I had to go. I had to go. I run in there and come back and she didn't eat all of it, but she had to get a little bit of it. How much of it was left? >> Probably about half out of like, you know, a gram or something.

I freaked out and I just I don't know. If I by the time y'all get out here, I'd be out there. I I don't know, man. >> You didn't even notify us at all. >> I got to the hospital and told them what happened. >> No, I shouldn't have to come here looking for you, wanting to talk to you about something that happened last night, which still to this to this point >> from the hospital. >> You still haven't even tried to bother to call law enforcement any sort of way. >> Your uncle had to call us. As a father, you should be the one. You're you're the caregiver for that child. That is your responsibility and your sole responsibility. If something happens to that child on your behalf and you think something's wrong, we are the first people you should call. I understand you may have thought I was faster, but the problem is you still didn't even call. >> I I thought that I don't know, man. I freaking out the whole night. >> What's the deal with the What's the deal with the loose everywhere? You got loose all around the house, man. >> Don't clean up.

And >> I have not been home. This is not that that's this is not a livable environment for a child to be in at any at any point in time. >> The cop's investigation revealed that the environment was hazardous for anyone, let alone a one-year-old child. The sheer level of carelessness was evident everywhere, leading to this incredibly dangerous situation for the kid. With all the evidence stacked against the dad, it was obvious he was headed to jail. >> So, right now, turn put your hands behind your back. You're going to be placed under arrest. >> A dog in the house >> in a second.
