That's all I'm waiting for as soon as they're old enough. >> But that's still a couple weeks, >> right? No. And they're still babies. And that that's something I'd have to talk to a lot. I don't know the rest of you. And I know I spoke to you before, but what what's your schedule like as far as like walk me through what happened? I went to work at go in every morning Tuesday through Saturday 7 a.m. 2:30. I come home. I go get from Hamosa. Uh the boys ride the bus. >> I go get them dinner. She asked if I would stop by or the lady I'm doing the house for just wanted me to check in a few things. He's doing guitar as well and doing like a side project for her and how often do not maybe for a few minutes you're running Family Dollar because I don't have at the moment but um >> cuz we've gotten multiple reports that you're leaving themselves >> and there's been multiple witnesses that you don't come home until the mornings just to wake up from school and take him to school and I already know the history as far is um your oldest going down aries and and hanging up down >> and and we've had this discussion over as far as today goes. I've had to contact CYFD because that's part of our policy. So they >> I don't know yet. I I got to speak with CFD. I got to figure out what's going on. Okay. >> But it's concerning because we've had multiple calls. I've been here. I'm >> sure you have but when when random people are calling or neighbors or whatever. It's anonymous to us. We don't know who calls. >> This is anonymous. >> So, we don't know. But we're getting multiple reports from different people, which is absurd. >> Okay. I have been through this house multiple times for child neglect. For child neglect, >> okay? >> Because Chris keeps running away, >> right? >> And you leaving your children up to 10 and leaving your 11-year-old to watch any it doesn't matter. Your extension weirdo. >> Okay. It took you almost 45 minutes to get here. And how long were you? >> How long were you going to be gone? Go up there and come back cuz she's not she's not at the house right now. And how far out is that? It's like one. >> So I know it's so my concern. >> All right. I have >> So I can never leave my house again. >> No, but I asked you to be responsible parent responsible ma'am. >> Okay. And that's whatever your opinion as far as that goes. Okay. I have LCFD. They will hear you're here soon. Okay. We do need to do a walk through the house to make sure that his adequate living spaces and living kids. >> Okay. Um where do all the children stay? Where does um Kayen's >> Most falls asleep on the couch? >> Okay. And what about Gabriel? >> Gel has his room. Christopher has a room. >> What about the other? What's up with the >> uh fixing it up? It's not great right now. There's no power. >> Chris, stay in there. >> She goes in there to be alone. He and his brother don't get along very well sometimes. >> Okay. >> So, he goes and everything. >> Okay. And my next concern, you know, when we get here, obviously Christopher's upset because we're here and that's fine. There's I'm not bing but he has but he has an array of knives that he somehow I I don't know. Okay. But he had So, he had a knife with like a rope on it and he's swinging it around and throwing it against the fence. So I told you to get So that's that's on you. >> I understand. I caught him with that thing the other day. I threw it away and he went and found it. >> So take it somewhere else. I don't know. But he's out here unattended spinning that around. There's other children there. Okay. On top of that, we pull a fixed blade that's about this long from him. Okay. Like do you understand my concern at that point? on the trampoline, ma'am, where the kids play. >> Yeah. >> You're neglecting. >> Nobody even here even knows me. Come over. Nobody calls me. Nobody talks to me. No one says hi. But I leave my kids alone for more than 5 minutes. And I've got SWAT team up >> all over the damn neighborhood. I have not anybody in here. I just a single mother for three years trying to survive. Do you have >> I would have anybody for services or anything. >> They offer all that. CYD already talked to me about that multiple 200 times. >> And have you tried to help? >> I know about the whole Medicaid transport and public health appointments and they want me to do classes and all this other stuff. And >> have you have you accept all that or is there any type of plan? gave them my new number, but it's out of service right now. So, the only way you could reach me is here at the house or maybe at work. >> Whose phone is your daughter? >> It's my phone. Like, you can still call, but like I I don't have any data or anything like that. Sometimes she gets the calls, sometimes she doesn't. >> Okay. Cuz she calls you perfectly fine. She's probably using That's why my phone says it's over minutes >> cuz it only gets five gigs and they said I've got like >> Okay. >> Yeah, it's over my limit. >> Okay. So, I mean, she's able to make phone calls, right? No. It's It's a lot of excuses that I'm getting. Okay. And not a lot of accounting at this point. >> Okay. So, game plan for today. >> I can never leave my house again. >> No. We'll wait. You see why I have to show up? Okay. We're going to do a visit inside. Okay. They're probably going to talk to you. They're probably going to talk to kiddos as far as that goes and do their investigation. Okay. People don't even know what's going on. They just see cops or they don't see me here. They're just nosy. They have no idea what's going on with me right now. >> Mhm. >> And this is all just bunch of drama that's completely unnecessary. I didn't do anything to anybody. I have no parents, no family. I have nobody around here. >> Is my mom going to jail? Fine. >> Did you take a shower, Chris? >> Yes, I >> Okay, >> you can go inside if you're I don't know if you stand out here while your hair is wet and you're cold. >> Yeah, your mom's >> Your mom's fine. >> Okay, but what did mom talk tell you? >> That that's more of an adult conversation, Chris. So, we're going to wait till mom comes back out. Okay. Can you maybe get mom for us? >> Is she inside? >> You want mom out? >> Yeah. Can we talk to her again? >> Mom will get pissed off. >> No, we won't. Nobody's mad. Nobody's mad. You're fine. >> See, I told you.
