Yeah, >> I can't do this anymore. >> Did she hit her head on anything over here or just >> I don't know. I just watched him push it down and I ran and looking for the phone to call y'all. I remember one time >> he held her down and like started choking her and like burned her with cigarettes >> because she's got a statement and then the kids have a statement that is exactly >> No, I'm not going to doubt you are. >> No, I'm not. >> Yes, you are. On the night of October the 26th, 2024, police rushed to a home after an 8-year-old boy forced to act beyond his years courageously called 911 to report domestic between his mother and stepfather, >> his family. >> Okay. >> And he just got home. I went outside and knocked on his window and I'd seen that he was texting a girl saying, "I'll meet you right now." Okay. So, I'm like, "So, you're cheating on me?" "Okay, you can ask my kids." They saw him shoving me down out here. So I come inside >> and I shut the door and he kicks the door literally in. So now I don't have doors and and honestly I'm just tired of this. I can't >> I can't do this anymore. And if you come in, you can actually see where the door is actually off the >> like all this like >> Oh yeah, the door frame. >> Yeah. Like I can't have this here, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, unfortunately, as far as the damage property go or damaged property goes, we can't really do much about that. That's between you and him civily because >> we have to get >> Can I not use [laughter] this in against him? >> Oh, no. Absolutely. 100%. Yeah, you should. I mean, >> cuz this is every >> If I was you, I would go to the women's shelter and fill out an OP order right now. >> And that will keep him from coming here. >> Mhm. >> Even though it's marital property. >> No. If you get an OP because you're scared of him, which I mean obviously he's shattering glass, kicking doors off the frame, you got your kids scared, >> I think you can articulate that you're scared of him. You know, you're fear danger >> and they will we'll serve him with it. He can't come back. You can list the kids. You can list whatever residence, your job, whatever that he can't come within 500 ft of. If he does, then I mean, he's going to get arrested every time. >> So, will the OP keep him away though? Well, I mean, if it doesn't, every time he violates it, he'll just get arrested >> because like >> so eventually he either gets tired of getting arrested >> and he leaves you alone or the judge gets tired of him getting arrested and just keeps him in jail for a while with the OP. He can't call you, he can't text you, he can't Facebook message you, none of that. If he does, you screenshot it. You bring it to the police department and that's a violation as well. So, uh, so just real quick, tell me, I mean, I know you said you went out there and talked to him about, >> well, basically >> what was going on. So, what led up to the like he got out of the car, like tell me what happened after you [snorts] knocked on the window and talked to him. >> Okay. Um, I called him and asked him if he was coming home cuz like here lately he's been going out a lot with his family. So, I call him and I'm like, "Hey, are you going to be home soon?" And he's like, "Yeah." So, he's outside listening to music really loud. So I go out there and I'm like making sure he's okay, you know, and I read through the window him texting a girl saying he could would meet her anytime and all this other. So I'm knock on the window and I'm like, "So you're cheating on me?" Like for real? You know, I'm here with our kids and stuff and you're like cheating on me. Like are you serious? Okay. So I come inside because he like gets out and like shoves me down out there and uh the kids are all >> shove you down now. just >> like he gets out of the car and like >> shove your hand shove your >> Yes. Like you can ask them. This is often this happens. >> Well, I come running inside cuz they're all like out on the porch and I'm like, "Get the inside." You know, like he is coming after me. This isn't the first time. I'm sure >> y'all had records of him. >> Well, I I know we've been here one other time, but I don't remember. Well, he runs up here cuz I shut and lock the door and he kicks the door in and like comes over here and shoves me up against this wall. >> Yeah. >> And the kids are like, "Please stop." And he runs over here and starts like punching the glass. >> So he showed you like into that corner >> and he also grabbed this chair and >> threw it across the room. >> Yeah. >> And that didn't >> Well, he threw it here and then threw it across the room. >> But that didn't hit anybody. And it [laughter] hit the table right here. >> Hit the table. Well, luckily it didn't break the table. >> Yeah, I know. The second time I've had to replace the glass on it. >> Meanwhile, one of the officers soon shifted focus to the young boy who had made the call, hoping his account would cut through the chaos. Children rarely hold back the way adults do, and in this case, his story delivered exactly the clarity that they needed. >> Sure, if you want to. >> Okay. So, uh, he he came over here. He was out drinking with his family and he came back and then my mom knocked on his window because he she found out he was cheating on her. >> Mhm. >> And then he got mad and started screaming and yelling and pushed her down over there and kicked and she ran back into the house, closed the door and locked it and then he kicked it down and started punching the window and started like throwing stuff and acting like he was going to beat her up. >> Okay. >> And it's not the first time that happened. It happened in lock. >> Who is he? Is it your dad or somebody else? >> Stepdad. Where do you think he might have gone? To >> his parents house. >> Where's that at? >> Sixth Street. >> The door all screwed up. >> Yeah, it's coming off the hinges in the bottom. He pushed him down pretty hard. >> Did she hit her head on anything over here or just >> I don't know. I just watched him push it down and I ran and looking for someone to call you, but then he she already called you up. >> Okay. It's like every weekend he goes and drinks with his family and stuff and it it happens a lot. And I remember one time he held her down and like started choking her and like burned her with cigarettes. >> Mhm. What happened to him then? Did he get arrested by us or >> I don't know. [snorts] It happened if I wasn't here. >> Okay. What do you want to happen to him? What do you think should happen? I don't know. I just don't like them at all. >> All right, let me go get the statement form for you and we'll get you filling that out. >> All right, thank you. Okay, will you all please get in here? >> Yeah, it's kind of chilly out there. >> Are you talking to him? That's okay. Come on. >> Inside. Let's see what I'm surprised didn't hit that. Dang, >> he really hit the door. >> All right, we also going to have to replace this. We're also going to have to replace this. >> Yeah, that's some trim. That That'll be >> gas. That's where the bolt was. >> This has happened about 30 times. >> And cuz that mean before he don't >> He drinks a lot of bears, too. >> So my question is in the state of Illinois, do you guys have a stand your ground law? >> You can defend yourself. Yeah, >> if you're in fear for their safety. >> So, as long as it's not like fatal. >> Well, I mean, as long as it's not just like him kicking the door and you just >> Okay. So, what if I hit him with a like blunt weapon then? >> Like I said, it's all situational. Yeah. We can't really tell you what if for every situation. So, >> because like he's a lot bigger than me. So, >> I mean, that factors into >> and I'm scared like if he comes back like what the am I going to do? but he won't come back tonight. So, >> all righty. Well, hopefully your dad can come fix your door. >> The officers wasted no time, and within minutes, they had tracked down the man's whereabouts, hoping they could engage him for clarity before taking any important steps. >> There's a corona in the center console. >> It's awfully dark for him to come down here. Sure, they turned all the lights off. It's fence down on the other side, too. >> Is it? >> When I look through the gap back there, there's a white shepherd staring at me. Just saw one eye glowing, peeking through the crack. >> Here come here comes somebody. >> Looks like somebody's moving. Oh, >> hey, I'm Officer Gilner. Yeah. Tribles Police Department. I need to speak with Sydney. Okay, hang on. >> Yep. So tell me >> what do you want to know? >> Tell me what happened. >> Bust out my glass and came in your ears. >> What? >> Bust out my front door glass. Mine which is mine. Okay. and came over here. >> That's all you did was busted the glass and came over here >> and Yeah. And talked I mean never touch anybody. Never faithfully touched anything. Kids, we're not. >> Why'd you bust the glass? >> Cuz she pissed me off. >> How'd she do that? >> Cuz your eyes are in her mouth. >> What was she saying? >> Everything in other >> Okay. So, you drove over here? >> Nope. >> I went and got him. >> Yep. >> Well, I mean, at this time, you're going to be put under arrest for domestic battery. >> Why? >> Because she's got a statement and then the kids have a statement that is exactly >> No, I'm not going to doubt you are. >> No, I'm not. Yes, you are. >> Don't fight me. Don't fight me. You're >> right now. I'm not going to get tased. You're about to get tased. While the officers worked to deescalate the situation, another individual stepped into the frey, adding yet another twist to an already tense encounter. >> I can tell you right now, I'm not going to go. >> Don't be tased. >> Don't fight. >> Put your hands behind. >> You're going to get tased. >> Stop. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> You need to get out of the way. >> Get out of the way before you go with it >> because you'll go for obstruction. >> Get out of the way. >> You can go to jail, too. >> Go. Don't go. >> He did not do nothing. You don't know you weren't there. >> I haven't touched THE BASKETBALL ONE MORE TIME. >> Get out of the way or you going to go with us. Move. >> Give me your hands. Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> Send me. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> You will stop. >> Get away from us now. Put your hands behind your back. >> Roll over. >> Roll over. >> You're going next. And >> you're going to go too. >> Go for it. >> Send us some more units. We got some more people to take. >> Just stop. >> Put your hand behind your back. >> Your other hand. >> He's trying. >> NO, HE'S NOT. PUT YOUR HAND BEHIND your back. >> He's trying. >> You're going to go to jail, too, if you don't stop. You got right in our damn way. That's called obstructing. >> That's my son. And >> and the point of it is that's my son. >> And you got in our way. >> I did not get in your way. >> You got right in. You >> stood right in THE BETWEEN >> AND I MOVED. >> You know what? >> And then you stepped right back in >> because you guys Oh my god. >> Go back inside. >> You want to take her, too? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You're under arrest, too. >> Don't go inside. >> I mean, I'll come in and get you. It's fine. We'll just do a report. Get a warrant for her. She don't come out here. >> Come on. Come out here, ma'am. >> Come out here. >> Come out here. You're under arrest. >> Oh my god. >> You're under arrest for obstructing. >> I did not do >> You did. And it's all on camera. Step out here. >> I'm right here. >> Okay. Step out. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Oh my god. Are you >> Yes, you're under arrest for obstructing. >> I tried to tell you. >> Don't get in our way. >> I did. He was hurt. >> He was not hurt. >> Will you please loosen this? >> When we get to the car. >> Stop. >> I will loosen them when we get to the car. I promise you that >> you won't go into a car with them that time. >> Don't fight. >> You know I have asthma. >> Okay. >> Does that for you here? >> Are you >> Hey, I do have a question. >> This is >> Where was his rights at on this deal? We're just taking her word, not his. Yeah. >> No, I mean I'm being civiliz. >> Yeah. No, you're not. You're not being hateful. Go ahead and put her in my >> That's good. He's good. Just watch her. >> So, here here's how it works. That's what I want. >> So, she gave a written statement that she's going to sign a sworn statement. >> Mhm. >> They're just trying to keep her away cuz she keeps trying to get to him. >> Stop fighting. I'll tase you, too. >> Stop. I'm not doing anything. I WAS WALKING TO MY BACKYARD. I going to say, "Let me have her. You know, I'll get her to cool down." >> No, she's going to jail. >> Okay. Okay. I got you. >> Would you? >> She got right on now. >> I've got here. Roll. >> Roll over to your side. Pull your feet up. >> What began as a call about one person and now spiraled into something much larger. The tension kept building. And with this family, it was clear the chaos was far from over. >> It didn't work. >> Quit squeezing my hand. giving the off my hand. >> You're getting an acat charge. You understand? >> You're going to go in the ground again. >> Let's go. >> Steve, [laughter] stop. >> This is hurting. >> Stop fighting me and it will not hurt you. >> This is This is cutting my wrist. >> Oh god.

You should have thought of that before you started fighting. >> Health issue. >> Back to what I was trying to tell you. >> Um, >> the kids, >> at least two of them >> have identical statements. We talked to him outside away from mom. >> But you know, >> I was inside. >> He got out of the car cuz they were arguing. >> Shelter on the ground. >> Okay. They all saw it. >> They went inside, locked the door. >> That door I I know it's it's y'all's property is that is it is okay.

I'm suing these mother. >> Get mom out before I get out cuz I swear to God a lawyer. I'm suing every out here. >> In the end, he was charged with damage to property and resisting arrest while his mother was charged with obstruction. Next up is an agitated mother who went straight home after a party altercation, rallying her kids and boyfriend. But her 11-year-old son saves a day by [music] calling the cops. >> We had argument neighborhood honey. I thought it was one of them. I better get them. >> You mind if I come in and talk? >> No. I don't want my mother though cuz she go start acting crazy. I guess too long ago somebody cross the street and then I guess they were trying to jump her and then she came in here yelling and stuff and they started tearing up the house. >> In the early hours of March the 25th, 2025, police were dispatched to her home after reports of a mother spiraling out of control. She had been kicked out of a neighborhood party and once home demanded her boyfriend return with her to start a fight. Her son, knowing all too well how this could end, called 911. [music] And that's when the night took an unexpected turn. How you doing? >> We got a call over here. What's going on? >> We had argument neighborhood honey. I thought it was one of them. I got to get them. >> Do you mind if I come in? Talk to you. >> No, cuz you can talk to me outside. >> Who else is in here? >> Nobody. Anyway, what's up? >> There's somebody else in there.

Or they don't. >> But they don't. >> What makes you say that? I said so. So, I can feel the energy in the vibe. >> I can feel the energy of the vibe of y' spirit. They don't love you. They just hate you. >> The officer's concerns quickly turned concrete after witnessing her behavior. They made their way into the house, hoping that what waited inside was not beyond repair. But what they found took them by surprise and it changed everything. >> What's up, man? >> What's up, man? >> We got a call over here tonight. What's going on? >> What's some neighbors? not neighbors, not the next door neighbor, but it was um a couple houses down and they wanted to jump on her. >> Okay. >> And um she was very angry cuz she was she were upset and angry cuz they want to jump on her. She was like, "Well, um they trying to jump on me. Can y'all help me?" And I said, "We ain't going to go outside and fight no folk for what? We ain't got to go fight them folks." Um okay. >> We can call the police on them. >> Okay. But we didn't call the police on them and and she was so very upset. She came in the house yelling and screaming. >> Okay.

And I said, "Look, if you go out there and fight them, you going to get locked up if you go out there and fight them. And they might get don't get locked up, too." >> Did she break the TV? >> I think it just fell. It >> just fell. >> I don't know what happened to the TV. I All I know it was screaming, yelling, and I stayed upstairs. >> Soon, more officers arrived at the scene and confronted her about what had triggered the 911 call. Her answers left little to [music] the imagination and hinted at something far darker beneath the surface. Yeah, we on that note. >> Thank you for getting your hands on me. >> For getting those squared away. >> Yes. >> Good evening, sir. How are you? >> Hands on me.

You're not going back in." Oh, what? I'm okay. So, first of all, you ain't even ask me what going on. You just told me what was going on. >> Meanwhile, as officers outside dealt with her belligerence, those inside the house continued to probe into what had really happened. Their discoveries were going to paint a picture far more disturbing than anyone would expect. >> They was the one who um was trying to stop her from going outside and getting into altercation with the um other people um on the last building down there. Okay. >> Cuz some man had touched her the wrong way and she was very upset and they all the man the the man and woman tried to jump on her and she came and told us and I was like love we look I'm not going to go over there and fight you folks for you or with you but I would um try my best to calm you down though and they will too and they did and I did.

I sit on port to 5:00 in the morning if I want to. The needless agitation forced the officers to regroup and figure out [music] the best way forward. Despite all efforts to get her to explain what had upset her, she only grew more unruly, pushing the situation closer to the edge. >> Nobody living here. Y'all need to find a person that come with you. Don't come over here with me. Yeah. I see not you cuz you >> I wondering must be I >> How's it going? Remember me?

My daughter f to be 11. >> They're both in nails. >> Yeah. >> The officers had finally managed to lower her guard. Despite the barrage of verbal assaults he held at them, they kept their composure, seeking to speak with the other occupants of the house once again, hoping that they might uncover more to work with, especially now that things have gotten calmer. >> Hang in there. You question him about him. >> Okay. Is it okay if I talk to him? >> Um, yeah. I like you. >> You like me? Okay. I appreciate that. >> You can ask them. He already question. Hold on.

Like that. Are you in her dating? >> How are you? >> In the end, the boyfriend was booked for violating family violence laws. As wild as that was, it was nothing compared to the next case where officers rushed to save a girl being strangled by her mother. But they arrived a little too late. What's going on? I'm just trying to get stuck [panting] out because we got to call service here. >> Not yet. Play and got somebody on the floor. Bro, >> she looks super bro. Hey, Sge. It's not looking good, buddy. On May the 11th, 2024 in Tampa Bay, Florida, a 911 dispatcher received a call from [music] a distressed daughter who reported chilling details about how her heartless mother had attacked her. >> Tampa Police 911. What is the address of the emergency? >> He's sleeping. I was just trying to get strangled. >> Okay. Do you have an unit letter or understand what's going on? [laughter] I'm just trying to get strangled. I just woke up from >> Okay. I'm sorry. What happened? >> I was strangled. >> Okay. By who? >> I'm sorry. By who? >> Um, >> is she still there? >> How long ago did this happen? >> This happened like like 34 minutes ago. I just woke up. >> [music] >> Okay. Where is your mother now? >> She lives at my room. >> Okay. What is your mother's name? >> The caller identified as 18-year-old Natavia Sanders explained the terrifying encounter with her own mother. But before the dispatcher could get more information [music] out of her, the call abruptly ended. Officers with the Tampa Police Department immediately tracked the call's location, already fearing the worst for what they were about to walk into. 354. Can you ask somebody call the complaint? Nobody's answering the door here. >> 10, please. I know you're in the home. Just come to the door. Did you guys attempt to call back? Cuz now the lights are out. >> I think I hear him screaming upstairs, but I can't tell. >> What's up, brother? >> What's up? >> They turned the the light was on upstairs. They turned it out and then I couldn't tell if it was screaming upstairs or where it was. >> Look, the couches are up on the on the wall. Can you see this? >> Like up here? See this? >> Yeah. Almost like barricades. >> You heard a scream? >> Yeah, but I could hear. >> I couldn't tell. I can tell >> police department couldn't tell if there was argument or what it was. >> As the officer waited outside, banging on the door, he suddenly heard screaming from the upper floor. And when 38-year-old Ratesha Sylvius opened the door, it didn't take long [music] for deputies to realize that they were face to face with the aggressor herself. Tampa Police Department. >> Morning. >> Tampa Police Department. >> Good morning. >> He's on the home. >> Everybody. >> Okay. You come outside for me real quick, please. >> For what? >> Because >> we got a call for service here. >> Not here. >> Don't play the game. You can do this. >> Don't do this. >> Ma'am, >> stop it. You're not going to stop a cemetering house. >> I didn't do that. >> Ma'am, stop playing. >> Ma'am, open the door. Stop. >> All right. Resist. >> 31. Come to the front. >> Ma'am, stop resisting us. Stop resisting us. We're here for a lawful reason. Okay. >> Look on my Facebook. >> Sit down. Here. You know what? Come up. Stand up. Stand up. >> You don't have to be aggressive. I >> do me a favor. Hey. Hey. Hey. Stop. Hey. Do me a favor. Just hang out with her. We're in my car. I got to go upstairs, man. In the car, please. Figure it out. Just keep an eye on this. Just keep an eye on that. Curtis is upstairs. >> Pata's nervous behavior screamed guilty. While one officer detained her and escorted her to the cruiser, another rushed inside the home, fearing that they were already too late. >> Man, we got somebody on the floor. Bro, 67, bro. upstairs. >> Upstairs. >> No, no, she's in the kitchen. >> Right here, man. >> Okay. >> Kitchen. >> Not responsive at all here. Possibly choked out. major very >> all right let them do their job >> officers found Natavia in serious [music] condition and immediately called for paramedics and backup on one hand deputies [music] worked desperately to save Natavia's life and on the other started stirring up some drama of her own step up oh my goodness step out ma'am Come on. >> Come on. >> Come on. >> Take a bath. >> No. >> Huh? >> No. All right, we found out get one of them. Well, they're a little bit >> No, no, she was she was uh caught off at >> and she started making something before taking some exactly what she said. So, we'll just have fun. >> Don't let her go. All right. You want to put it back in? What's wrong with you? >> All right, we stop. Can we stop back then like this, please? So I can do your search. >> I need you to help me out. Get get one of them to come over. >> Instead of showing remorse over her actions, Retesha acted like a lunatic, turning the scene into pure chaos. Meanwhile, officers were more concerned about Natavia's well-being, which seemed to worsen as time passed by. >> Hey, it's not looking good, buddy. >> Really? Okay. I already left. >> She uh she resisted us opening the door. Bri went hands on. We smashed her out and put her out here. She I thought this while you were >> No, no, she was she was uh talking to us. We had a a rapport. Then she started making something about being signal 20 or they taking something. I forget exactly what she said. >> Okay. >> Something about maybe somebody >> fired. Yeah. >> And uh you live here. >> Yes. >> How long have you lived here? >> Um a few months. >> A few months. >> Okay. Who do you live here with? >> Me and my children. >> Your children? The small children? Like the babies? I seen one or two little babies. Uh, what about the the other person there? >> No, I have three kids. >> You have three kids? How old are your kids? >> How old are they? >> Nine, three, and four. >> Four. Okay. >> Pata's complete disregard for the 18-year-old was heartbreaking to witness. Even though the girl was lying on the kitchen floor fighting for her life, as the investigation continued, [music] the officers kept on pushing for the truth. We just got up and I was going to give him a bath. >> Who uh who's in the kitchen? There's no other dogs here. >> Somebody's in the kitchen a little bit older than nine, though. They're not 9 years old. >> I couldn't even tell you. >> Couldn't even tell you. >> I only have three kids. >> I don't know who the Says she has a three, four, and a nine-year-old. Three kids only. Leave me all the names. >> You say she does. She does. She does. Yeah. I don't know who this is. She's not 9 years old. Did she say anything to my penis about, "Hey, listen, she came in my eye." >> No. No. Something to the effect of they're with my head or something like that when we have a finger and drag her out. I dumped her in the car, had somebody watch her, and I went with Ross and that was it. Who went to the hospital just now? Do you know? >> Who Who is that? >> I have four kids. >> Oh, you have four kids. Okay. What was that daughter's name? Initially, she said she had three kids, okay? >> And she's pretty adamant about that. And now she has four kids. I asked her, "Who's that person that went in the ambulance?" She's like, "Oh, that's my other daughter." And that's with this person, Natavia Samry Sanders. So Samry is the middle name. S A M R I. I thought it was S A M A R I, but she told me that. She says Samari. I'm like, okay, I'm think she's maybe missing an A. Protesha momentarily [music] had a slip up where she admitted to being Natavia's mother, but soon enough the cruel mother went right back to [music] playing games. >> Do you want to see the fire department? Do you want them to check you out? >> I'm fine. I just want my kid. >> She's fine. >> I don't know what happened. Like, >> is this Blackhawk Down? Like, who are these people? >> The police department. Police and fire. Are you able to sit back? >> Mike and I went down the the bottom floor right here and we can see her legs there in the kitchen. She went in there and she's her eyes were fixed. Whenever I checked her posture, she had a faint pulse. the line. >> If she doesn't want it, she >> I'm fine. Are y'all okay? >> Why are y'all here? >> What's that? >> If you could just look at her and make sure she's >> You don't want us to check you out? >> No, I'm fine. >> Everything is fine. Thank you. I appreciate it. Everyone walk over to the other car. Okay. >> You able to walk? Yeah. >> We're going to go to this car. >> Before you get in, I'll do your search. You have anything on you that'll poke me? Um, do you have anything on you that your hands up just a little bit to the back of Um, not yet there. After first refusing medical help, Retesha suddenly realized that this could potentially [music] be her way out and decided that she needed someone to look at her miniature scratch. However, the officer didn't buy her victim play for even a single second. >> Okay. Okay. They they could treat it when you get there. There's a doctor there that could treat you. >> Well, we can't treat it. >> Okay. >> I know, man. But I see the scrape and stuff like that. That's what I'm saying. They're going to take the X-ray. They can do all that stuff there. >> I don't need the X-ray. I just need this looked at on my >> I mean what do you want me to the only thing I can give you is a band-aid for that ma'am I'm not at hospital I'm just >> she wants us to look at >> okay they looked at it >> looked at it >> right what do you want them to do >> he just said that I could go to the ER and they'll give me extra >> No you will do that at the jail >> they have Yeah the Orient jail has a whole medical staff near that. We're not we're not going to the hospital. Step out to that door over there. Right here. >> 2 days after the incident, Latavia Sanders passed away in the hospital. In addition to the charges of resisting an officer in aggravated battery with great bodily harm, 38-year-old Retesha Sylvius was also charged with firstdegree. Next is a case of a father who subjected his three sons to unimaginable horrors for reasons best understood by him. >> And he came over and he like hit me on the chest like that and I like I moved a little bit. I'm like, "Please like please don't hit me. I'm scared to move by my neck and picked me up in the air and I like I couldn't breathe." if there was like a physical altercation that occurred between you and them. >> No, I just disapproved my son. >> On April the 2nd, 2022, deputies from the Flaggler County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a remote cabin in Flaggler County, Florida after receiving a [music] frantic 911 call from three terrified children who were hiding in the woods to escape their father's wrath. When the officer arrived, they quickly spotted the three boys huddled together in the woods. He's >> back there in the woods with you. Who's in the house? >> Your dad's in this house >> or brother to come up here. >> Yeah. Tell your brother to come up, >> you guys. Let's come up here a little bit. So, all you guys are brothers? >> You're all brothers? Okay. And you live here with your dad in the camper? >> Yes. >> Does anybody else live in the camper? >> No, just us. >> Just you guys.

Um he was wanted to wash the top of the camper, so he went there and he washed it. And um I'm scared of heights and there was soap and everything on the floor. So I was like scared.

I'm like please like please don't hit me. I'm scared to be up here. Like I was I was really scared. I just wanted to go down but I was still trying to figure uh clean it before we went down there. And then he he was like no I'm trying to tell you good job. And he hit me again. I said please thank you but please don't hit me. And I kept doing that and I and then I got really freaked out because I started like swaying back and forth and I like yelled. I was like, "Please stop." And he grabbed me by my neck and picked me up in the air and I like I couldn't breathe. And then he took me like swept my feet out and like threw me on the floor [music] and then um I tried to get up and like leave and he like grabbed me and pushed me back on the floor and told me I wasn't going anywhere. >> Okay. this morning. Uh he was rubbing my dad's back and he like grabbed him by his foot and tried to make him like tell a joke or something and he didn't want to say the joke and he was just kept squeezing his foot and he was like I don't care if I break it and he just kept squeezing his foot and he couldn't like he was crying so he couldn't really make out words and then he grabbed me picked him up by his like neck th >> messed up. >> Yeah.

And then he threw our laundry out the door and then he started punching the walls and doors [music] and he like closed slammed the door shut and then he started throwing stuff in his room. He like broke a school against [music] the door. >> Okay. Did you see what happened last night? >> I think they all they all witnessed everything. >> Based on the children's statements, [music] the deputies were horrified to learn that a father could inflict such unimaginable terror on his own kids. And upon learning that the father might be armed, the officers had to act swiftly and decisively draw him out of the house and into their custody. >> Turn around.

Like they're going to kick me out. I have nowhere to go. The door on my house is broke. Once they had him in custody, it was time to hear the father's side of the story. But from the very beginning, it was clear he was trying to play the victim. Even though his children were the ones who had truly suffered, as much as he tried to hide it, the cops [music] could see how much of a terrible parent he was. If you're supposed to have them on your day and she refused to give them, start a log. Okay, take her back to the family court. Say, "Judge, I'm supposed to have her Wednesday, Thursday, Friday." All your phone conversations with her text messages. >> I did that. I kept the log book. >> I can only tell you what what I know.

Clean, fresh, clean stuff. >> New stuff. >> All right. I I know they already had had spoken to you a little bit, but the the reason we got here is there there was a call about, you know, concern for the children's safety that there was like a physical altercation that occurred between you and them. >> No, I just disapproved my sons. >> Okay. What did they do that required discipline? I didn't hear that part. >> Weren't listening. >> Weren't listening? What were they told to do? >> I didn't get some insurance. >> So, we're not going to put >> the your hands. I saw that they had some like uh fresh like >> tree work. I used tree work. >> Was it from punching anything in the house? >> I already the same question you asked me. >> Okay. >> Who who called the cops? The >> I don't even know that right now. who called him. >> So last night the kid on the roof, >> you said you grabbed his shirt because he was slipping.
