at 1 p.m. on a Saturday officers were alerted to a toddler found wandering unattended in a Walmart parking lot these are the events that followed the trial is right here this parking spot right where that bump is right there okay where this tree St roots are no right where your wheels okay right where the wheels okay and the tri was BL standing there or sitting down no standing trying momy and we as him if he was okay so from the time that you seen him to the time that you called 911 was how long how much time went by it was within 10 minutes not even that no it was probably like 3 minutes because that this grou this couple saw him as well and they called 911 wait what did you talking about like from the time that we saw him when we reported it to you guys it was maybe like 3 minutes okay and then the time that we responded and time that you called time that we responded it was about 10 minutes about 10 minutes and in between that 10 minutes at what point did the mom come here right when you showed up right when you guys a minute later she hello hi hi is this your kid yeah we had to run into the bathroom okay but he looks like he's not okay are you okay buddy he's been here a while he has not been you can check the time I lit I literally ran in there and ran out what's his name yeah your mom and I had to go to the bathroom really bad and he was sleeping so I just ran in there you you you have fire resc hi hi can can okay he was I was pulling up I pulled up in the truck he was right here standing crying outside crying barefooted um you called I called around 10 minutes ago 10 minutes ago and that was right standing I just really had to go to the bathroom and you can look it up on my Hospital record that do me aor you out it's going to be hard I I will try time she came in I give you my social if you like my social check you don't have your ID [Music] on so when you P up par he was in the middle of the road did you go up to him and we yeah we stopped there they like what's going on he just kept saying I want my mommy where's my mommy I she just got like you guys like literally you guys pulled up and she walked she right there do you have your ID yeah are you going to 15 yeah okay yeah what do you need I I'm just trying to see if um Walmart can get there's a 13-year-old in there too what her 13-year-old went with her to the bathroom we got to look for a 13-year-old we should probably do that right now come on what's another kid so the 13-year-old left this one sorry the 13-year-old should be either in the restroom or waiting for Mom by the restroom so then she wasn't in the restroom she wasn't in there she said she went into the bathroom she went to the bathroom she right yeah and then she said her she will follow her with her so you guys both went into the bathroom yeah I don't like going by myself and ins side places like that so I asked you okay how long ago did you guys go to the bathroom not too long ago okay and you left your little brother by himself in the car um I thought it would be fine since he's sleeping you can't leave the car unattended with him in there it's hot where do you guys live um I'm not really living with my mom I was just here hang out with her for the weekend oh okay you live with your dad yes where do where do you live in Rivera rier beach with your dad yes okay where does your mom stay at um at a hotel right now okay and then your brother does stay your brother stays with you too at your dad's no he stays with me okay what's going on now we're investigating okay I'm so I mean you could call the hospital too got my police record I really do have yeah they're going to come check you out right now the little one's done is it is in that picture CU I left him it's okay I don't care he was domestically abusing me which you can see the fact heus he was really Abus to so he's not allow we have and and he's not allow and he's an addict and he's he's going to prison so he's not around oh my son has it me all right so um so you are the only person that has permission to deal with your son yes so like he's you're not taking it from me right I'm not taking it okay thought you I'm really I like thought about it I told so I like this if you if you trust hit your ex or whatever I don't want anybody to take the kids I just want to make sure you guys weren't calling DCF to take them after that cuz I wasn't sure if that I have to call DCF to about that I don't care about that I just know this was considered a s where you take them because I left them in the car I I I'm not if you want to turn them over to the father that you trust and you're the sole person that has custody yeah why not I just was saying for now cuz I wasn't sure if you guys were going to be like you can't have your kids when you left them in the car I think you need a break I think you need a a mental break right now whatever you got going on I maybe just working on yourself is probably the best thing my myop my adopted mom is and she I goes spr SCH she works with for a week so I get a break she helps a lot I'm very fortunate that I have't do I mentally have been going through a hard time I'm trying to and I haven't and I like no like I said I'm so stupid like I would have never done like I know I have a 13-year-old never been in trouble before you know what I mean like that's the whole reason she I need some time to fix I I mean it was a bad decision not going to lie about that it was I for them cuz they're the ones that pay the price of it not me and now they see all this they like oh my God my mom is you know and and regardless they all make mistakes but I feel bad expect I do sorry so where where you where's your home is I'm going to we're going to be guy now anyway regardless when we're going to go M are you guys married or you we're just best friends like I had okay I had her when I was 22 and then he and I just realized we were better friends we best friends and then I got married to the wor person in the world and through that he's been amazingly a great friend so you trust him with your son as well yeah with everybody I trust him with my life okay that's good to know all right all him and my dooped mom are the only two people I trust okay so if he comes here and takes the kids that's probably best for you because you need time to like relax mentally physically him to come but I didn't know if you my thing was I didn't know I didn't know if this was considered like you're not a fit long taking them or not well we're looking we have to look at all aspects right yeah so right now we're checking cameras for Walmart yeah I'm not going to lie to you we're checking stuff we have to right so if we see fit at the time was 15 minutes or more that you were in that store that you're going to jail simple I've never in jail but you know you also get your your time to represent yourself okay as a right now we have information but nothing's secure right now so we have to do a come here just in case he guys arrest me I know that I was in there I was less than 15 minutes but listen even if I don't arrest you you still need you physically look like you you need a break okay's put the yeah call okay I get I'm sorry look at me take a take take a breath for a second okay I'm trying to do catch a bubble catch a bubble right look tell this to the kids blow it out I'm out I'm trying the best I can with all the cards I've been it's been really stressing God don't give you what you can't handle main thing right now is you catch your breath because you're going to have an anxiety attack I know okay we we control that ourselves okay I know look at me look at me blow out a little bit air it in I have to go to the bathroom again I have horrible it's from stress they said at the hospital stress will kill you you can control that okay I'm get waight cuz I'm stressing get stress you got to be around for these kids so no OB I'm not doing a good job look what I just did we all make mistakes right it's what we do that overcomes that after that okay they're just giving the kids some AC checking out you know that's it that's why he's in there right now no my stuff's legal like nothing's illegal like I do I do when we run the tag it it get run correctly that's why we run I got scared when you like I know it's cry anytime a vehicle is involved in a pole I run it hey I make I make a part of my my it has to be because that's where you found oh my God now and I didn't wear the appropriate clothes cuz we were going to go to the gym after we went to lunch tell me again why you came here so I had to use the bathroom okay we were in the bathroom Okay my daughter was like wanted to grab she went to grab a bathing suit while I was in the bathroom okay I ran out to look for her okay um when I grabbed her I said we have to you could probably he if he listen the audio we got to go we got to go we ran back out here and I saw you guys

otherwise you're going to impound my card can you please get my cat yeah you can get it ad to go get the cat you want to move the kids that way so they have the watch probably better right okay uh have a seat step in who's this that's um his that's her the girl's father but she's she's C giving permission for her best friend the girl father Cody as so she walked in at 1242 and she walked out at 104 she out where was the C left no she took a laundry basket and filed it and walked out and left the laundry basket there with the daughter right by right by the um I'm having him review that because and she had a bathpack with her when she came out of the car I mean when she came out of the store sure sure did you read Miranda at all oh yeah oh yeah that's why I was like say anything no did she she's like she's like I didn't try I didn't try to stop this for anything I I didn't do it I didn't doing anything I'm like well first of all how long were you in it for like 5 minutes she's like she said she went into the bathroom because her daughter wanted to go to the bathroom then her daughter wanted to go check for a bathing suit so her daughter left and then she came outside and came to the car I'm like that's bullsh cuz I got you on camera I'm going in there and walking out and she literally passed all point of sale with that basket and she had the girl right here with the basket and then I guess when the girl realized that she wasn't coming that's when the girl came out we talking so no I already got everything you need I but sheing kid to that's another charge it's child neglect there's a bunch of um counts to it then so is that a f s the yeah mhm she said take everything so that's part of everything you're not in any trouble okay you're not in any trouble but remember when I ask you what you guys were doing here and you you guys going to theath I know that's not the trth [Music] you okay so what else did you guys put in that basket her mom wanted to look around she was distracted so she wanted to get something for herself okay but she walked out the store she she told me to stay she told you to stay there because she was going pay for it when she came back okay but you do understand that once you pass all the cash registers that's considered stealing right okay so that's why your mom's going to jail today she's going to jail because she pretty much took that out of the store without paying for it and for leaving your brother unattended in the car CU you guys can't leave your brother and you guys were in there for more than 5 minutes was you guys were in there for 24 minutes if he would have stayed in the car he could have probably died if he didn't come out he could have probably died so you can't just leave you can't leave a kid in the car okay because it's hot okay so DCF will be notified okay they might come to your address whatever they do they do they're going to offer you guys Services if you have a legal guardian who's taking care of a child they're not in and AC in jail all the time they're not on drugs we're trying to you're trying to we're not trying D doesn't have to take the kids away okay they try to make it safe for the kids that's it so if you need help you need money you need assistance take it and be honest about it because the money is there and that's what they do but this child neglect and then trying to teach your daughter how to steal I had hard times but no excuse no excuse honestly man man I've had my daughter I've had her since October she's been with me last week she broke down telling me about how
