How are you going to take care of your son when you're in the hospital for disorderly conduct for acting like this? >> On October the 25th, 2024, cops were called to a hospital after reports of a man going off the rails outside. The new dad was furious and losing his mind after his baby's mom and grandmother decided he needed a little distance. When the officers arrived, their mission was clear. Calm down the raging father before things spun completely out of control. The >> baby's adamant about the baby coming with him. Guess they want to go on separate vehicles. He's been making a lot of threats toward us with physical harm. So, we need him. We need him. >> Hello. >> What's going on?

It's her responsibility to take the child, is it not, >> bro? Y'all not understanding. They trying to take my son away from me, right? >> Nobody is going anywhere until you talk to me. >> The young dad grew more irrational by the second, ignoring the officer standing right in front of him and choosing instead to rant on the phone. But then came his biggest mistake yet. One reckless move that not only sealed his fate, but also proved exactly why they wanted to take his son away. >> I can't help you if you don't come to me. >> Take Kaden, bro.

Like this crazy. It's our first baby together. I want to go, bro. >> Okay. So, what's the problem? >> Evil who? I never want to see you again, bro. >> Okay, listen. Here's the deal. I need you to stand right there. Do not move. >> Okay? Do not move from that spot. I'm going to go talk to them. I gave you an opportunity to talk to me. You didn't want to talk to me. You're more concerned with talking to whoever's on the phone. I'll be right back. >> The officer, trying to understand what was really going on, had to go over to Brianna's family since the so-called dad wouldn't talk to him. >> Okay, hold on. >> Tell me what's going on. >> Okay, this is my daughter. >> Okay, >> that's my daughter in there. >> Yeah, >> that just had a baby. Okay, let me ask the question real because I'm getting a whole lot of she's and he's and hers and there's there's a lot of people involved here so I'm trying to get names. Who is Briana? >> That's my sister. >> Okay, so you neither one of you or Briana. So where is Briana riding with you guys with the child? Okay, sit tight. I'll be right back.

I just I just want to go. >> I understand that. But do you understand his concern as well? >> He doesn't want the child going with your mother, apparently. What? I don't know what his beef is with your mom. Apparently, he doesn't have a problem with you taking a child, but he doesn't want the child going with her. Okay. I don't know why that is. I don't know what y'all got going on. Is there something else you could work out where maybe someone else gave you a ride instead of your mom? No, there's no one now. Right now. >> Okay. Are you guys married? >> No. >> Okay. Um, who has primary custody of the child? Do you have any directives from a court stating that one or one or the other will have primary custody of the child? >> Do you have a court order? Yes or no? >> Okay. So, that leaves primary custody with the mother at the moment until he gets something changed. Okay. Okay. I'm going to let him know that you're free to go, but I need to get some information from you before you go. Okay. >> I was like, can she? >> Yeah. Just a minute. >> Okay. All right. You guys, you guys can go ahead and go. Okay. >> Okay. >> Going on, man. >> I'm going to let them go. I'm about to explain that to him. He's going to lose his mind. Hey, sir. All right. Here's the deal. Do you guys have a directive from a court given primary custody to you or your wife or to your girlfriend over the child at this moment? >> Okay. With the way the law works, she has primary custody of that child. So, she is allowed to take that child. She doesn't need your permission, your consent, your agreement to being with the mom or not. Okay. I asked her if there was anyone else that could come take her home besides her mother because you have such an issue with the mother and didn't want the child to go with the mother. She said no. There's nobody right away that can give her a ride. >> Yes, there he is my stepdad. >> Okay. Well, she said no. She just had a child, bro. >> Brianna, what? What are you doing? >> She is leaving with the child. Okay. >> So far, the officer had been patient with them, but that was wearing thinner every passing second. Any more wrong move would earn him an unexpected trophy. >> Sit down. >> Just sit down. Okay. >> Take them to Now you need a DNA test. >> Listen. >> One more. One more.

I promise you I'm not coming back. >> That's fine, >> bro. I can't believe you guys let that happen, bro. Don't touch me. >> Because the law says that we can. Okay, >> bro. Don't [ __ ] touch me.

You >> her mom don't have rights to take my son, >> bro. She said because her mom is already up here. >> Listen, mom is just playing taxes for the wife, for the for the mother of the child. She is perfectly entitled to leave the hospital with her own child unless there's a court order in place that says that she cannot do that. And there is not according to you or her. So therefore, she can leave with her baby. >> Ricky got to take >> absolutely. In the end, he was charged with disorderly conduct. This dad might have been dumb, but he was nothing compared to the mom who abandoned her 2-week old baby in a hospital parking lot and then casually went home. >> Where's Where's the baby? >> You're telling him I left him with the baby? >> Ma'am, look at me. Are you the mother of the baby? >> Yeah. And he's the father. >> Where is the baby? >> He left it at the hospital.

Will you raise your right hand for me? I'm going to swear you in. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, or nothing but the truth? >> Absolutely. >> You swear everything you're going to provide is on your own free will and I didn't force you to do it. Correct. Okay. So, what happened exactly? >> So, I was I was parked on the side of the of the road with my car there and I was I was just um looking at my phone and I saw the the car pulled in, but I'm not sure exactly what kind of car cuz I didn't pay that much close attention, but I saw the the dad and the mom. So, the dad actually pulled the stroller out of the car and put the baby in the stroller. But somehow I knew something was wrong. So I went around just to make sure. >> So a a black male pulled the baby out of the car and put the baby in. >> Female. Yes. But the black male was the one that put the baby in the stroller. Okay. So my instinct was like something is wrong. I don't know why. I just have that instinct. So and I went drive around and I drove around and I came back and I saw the baby with the stroller. First I wasn't sure if the baby was in then I heard the noise cuz my window was open and I heard the baby was crying. I was like a baby. Somebody got the baby and I went to look in the car that the the stroller was parked in. See if somebody was in there with somebody. That's when I picked up the baby and that's what I called the cop. >> So you were driving around saw the two the couple. One was a guy a guy. Can you describe the guy at all or >> It was both African-American like you said very slender uh very kind of ghetto. Um, so yeah, so they look kind of, you know, >> so the guy ended up taking the baby out of the stroller, placing the baby in the stroller, and then where was the female at the time? She >> the female was getting the stuff out of the car, but I'm not sure exactly what car look at the >> Right. So then the the you will end up saying, you know, this doesn't look right. >> So you end up circling back around. After you circle back around, the next time you see the baby stroller all by itself. Yeah. And then and then you didn't suspect the baby was in the stroller, but then you heard the baby crying. It's like the baby was there. >> Okay. Did he Did uh did anybody like shout at you outside of the car or anything? >> No shout at me at all. Yeah. I was surprised. >> And then so then you ended up getting the baby and calling 911. >> Yeah, I took the baby up and then then I called you guys. >> Okay, perfect. All right, that concludes the statement. >> Thank you. You have my number, right? >> Yes, I do. So, if I need anything, I will give you a call. >> Following the conclusion of the on-site investigation, the mom was transported to the station where further truths would be uncovered. We're going to go to that door over there. Is your ID and stuff in this backpack? All right. [Music] >> Are you singing? [Music] That's not my baby. That's his baby. >> Again, I am not the the officer in charge of this investigation. I am here with you. I don't know what's going on over there. I I >> You're talking to me. >> They are going to talk to you. >> It's been over 30 minutes. >> Things don't just happen on your timeline. That's not how it works. >> On my >> Okay.

A 3-year-old girl spotted floating in a pool while her mom was nowhere to be found as she was inside fast asleep. The neighbor over there, she found her in this pool. They opened the door and yelled at you guys for about 20 minutes and you guys weren't answering. So, she was concerned if you guys weren't even >> They opened the door. I don't ever let this happen. This has never happened before. I cannot lose my job. Oh my god. >> On July the 28th, 2024 in Banell, Florida. Panic swept through a neighborhood when a 3-year-old girl was spotted floating alone in a pool. Neighbors rushed to pull her out, but what followed was just as alarming. No parent in sight. For 20 agonizing minutes, they knocked, called, shouted, but the house stayed silent. And that was when they made the call that would change everything. With little time to waste, officers were already on their doorstep. >> Nice to meet you. I'm Deputy Coma. >> Good. And this is my husband, Dave. He's on the porch. I'm not going to say it in front of her. But that pink door right there, she was in that by herself. I've asked her mother how we knocked on the door. door was already open. I hollered for them. My husband hollered for them and nobody has come out yet. >> Okay. >> So, you know, she was in that pool by herself and we didn't want to see her drown.

So, you know, >> I we didn't want to call, but I I told Dave, I said, "Look, she was in the pool with water in it. It takes a split second for a child to drown." Yeah. >> So, because we did knock on her door, gave her an opportunity to come to the door and then we yelled at them inside the door and nobody still came. I said to me, that's a red flag and we're obligated for that child to call. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Yeah. That's definitely with us or anything. >> Yeah. I mean, look how look how small they are. I mean, the child can drown in 3 in grandchildren in that spot. >> Yeah. All right. >> Okay. >> Uh, give me a second. I'm going to go. >> Okay. The child's safe with you guys and the child's fine. Does the child show any symptoms of anything wrong or anything like that? >> Absolutely not. >> All right. Armed with the neighbor's statement, the deputy set off to track down the dumb parents who were so careless and reckless as to leave their little girl unattended. So So what's going on today? >> Oh, I literally I was just sleeping. >> Yeah. >> Did you guys you guys have like a long night? Yeah, >> it is. It is 6:00. Um, all right.

Do you understand? Uh, yeah. I mean, she's a 3-year-old child. That's like about a foot of water. A child can drown in 3 or 4 in of water. >> You understand how dangerous that can be? >> The officer wasn't convinced that this was just a one time slip up. He was ready to hold the parents fully accountable and follow the law to the letter. >> I got to ask you a few questions. >> Okay. >> Before I do, I'm going to read your rights. That doesn't mean you're in trouble. >> Are you arresting me? I'm going to have to come up with that conclusion. I'm just going to read your rights. It's just a formality. >> I don't even keep my I I've never been away from her like that. I can't like this never happens. I >> Okay. >> Okay. At what time was the last time you saw your child? >> Um we went to sleep maybe. I mean, we we usually don't take late evening naps, but I I just hurt my neck the other day when I was putting up the cameras and fell off the ladder. So, my neck's been hurting and I just Okay. >> She was in the bed with us and we just we were watching a movie and we just fell asleep. Um probably we fell asleep at least like like maybe right at 6:00. >> Yeah, she was literally laying on his chest. She That's why I don't understand. She's never came out of the door like this. She's never like >> freaking know this is just a mess. I literally just got this pool yesterday and I was going to take it down cuz when I went to put it up it the top of it doesn't blow up >> and I but I still literally play it like earlier today before it started raining just to get some energy out and stuff cuz we don't really come outside like that because the bugs are so bad. >> Right. >> All right. So the pool the pool was filled all day today, right? You didn't fill it today at all. It was filled yesterday. it. No, it it was filled yesterday and then I brought her but I didn't drain it out yesterday cuz I was going to bring her back out to play in it today. But when I realized the thing wasn't the top part wasn't blowing up, it doesn't hold sustainably like it would if it would blow up. So I I still let her play in it a little bit today and then we just brought her in the house. She played in it for maybe like 2 hours earlier, but I but I sat outside and watched her. I I would never let her do that unsupervised cuz I I've seen things that can happen like that and that's why I just don't understand because she's never came out of the house like this without like the one time that she ran over to the neighbor's house I had view of her and >> Yeah. Okay. You were mentioning that happened July 4th, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. And and you woke up at what time? >> Uh it was like 6:30. >> Okay. when I or about 6:30 when I saw that when I woke up and saw that you guys were that whichever one of you were here was out here and he was walking out to the end of the driveway. >> Okay. >> But I just never happens. >> Okay. >> Never happens. >> And are you the biological mother of Naa? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Who is he to Naa? >> Uh he's he's my boyfriend, but Na's dad isn't. >> Yeah.

Um has she ever been You say that pool's recent recently new. >> Yeah, I literally just bought it yesterday. Okay. Okay. And you say she has she has not done this besides on July 4th. >> Yeah, she's never done this besides on July 4th, but when it when it happened on July 4th, I have a carpet right at my front door and it's not easy. It's not easy to pull the door open. >> Okay. Um but but somebody had I wasn't I don't even know but somebody had tried to break into the house and there like the door jam is is broken and that's the only reason I'm thinking that she might have been able to open the door >> but I >> Okay, >> like this has never been >> Is that door is that door locked ever? Yeah, I I keep it locked, but I just telling him I I'll just have to get the little handle thing that goes on the doororknob and then I'm still going to get a chain to go on the top of it to lock it from the inside cuz this like I said, this is this does not happen. I don't know if it's just because we got the pool and she wanted to come outside and play in it, but that's not like Okay, >> this has never happened. I don't let her get out of my view like that. >> Yeah. All right. And is the door like traditional like twist knob to open it or is it just like a simple pull or anything like that? >> No, you got to twist it to open it, but I usually lock the screen door too cuz she doesn't know how to lock it. >> Realizing just how severe the consequences could be, including the very chance of losing her daughter to the system. She made one last desperate attempt to convince the officer she was not a reckless mom, or at least not as reckless as they thought. >> What's going on? So she's she's the door handle's low. She's within arms reach of the door handle. Have you ever seen her reaching for it beforehand? >> No, she doesn't she doesn't she doesn't do this. She doesn't open the doors in my house. And usually when we take a nap and she wakes up, she'll she'll wake me up. I I don't know. It just might >> Okay. >> I don't ever let this happen. This has never happened before. I cannot lose my job. Yeah, but this rarely happens. I just My neck's been hurting. I literally just put the camera the camera up the other day and I fell off of the ladder and I'm and broke my neck back in 2022 in a car accident in Indiana and it just kind of like I it was hurting so so bad. And she she said something about mommy I would have taken that night. So she curled up in the bed and we fell asleep with It was normal like any other time. And like none of this ever happened. I don't even know why she came out of the door like that. It's not her fault. I should have if I get arrested. I don't have any money to keep her. And I don't I'm sorry, but I don't trust any man to keep my daughter like that. I don't care. >> Okay. Okay. >> I don't leave her with anybody. Unless she goes to daycare, she's always with me. I've never been away from >> Okay. After hearing enough of her excuses, the deputy turned his attention to the boyfriend, ready to press him with more questions. >> As you can tell, no one's in handcuffs. Just something we have to do court of law. >> Oh, yeah. I know cuz somebody else actually didn't do that from y'all team that. And that's how my charges got dropped. >> All right. Who Who are you in terms of a family picture? Are you dating Cassidy? >> Yeah, that's okay. Um, do you does Cassidy ever leave Naa with you alone?

Does she like go? >> She really can't. >> Okay. All right. So, you know, and how long have you been with Cassidy? >> Two months. two months. >> Okay. So, you don't really consider yourself a caregiver caregiver at all. >> I'm not going to say I don't care. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. I'm not saying you don't care. I'm just saying in terms of like >> guardianship. >> Guardianship. >> Oh, I mean, I guess not. >> Okay. >> All right then. Um, do you have any questions for me? uh left. >> Yes. Well, actually, I think I won. What's going to happen? >> I don't know that. We're trying to figure that we're trying to figure that out. Uh obviously, we don't we don't have the we don't have the power to do so. Obviously, since she's a minor, she's toddler, we're going to have to contact DCF. And DCF does their own thing as well. They do their own investigation. They talk to everyone involved. They may talk to you. They'll talk to her. Oh, that's >> they're a lot more, you know, qualified in terms of deciding where a child should be placed or goes or stays. >> Mhm. >> Once the deputy wrapped up his investigation, there was now no avoiding it. The mom was placed under arrest. >> I think I've concluded everything here. >> Just say that again. >> Can you turn around for me and put your hands behind your back? >> Can I call somebody to get my daughter, please? >> We'll work that out. >> Give us one second. Okay. You take make a phone call. Okay. Just do this one side. >> I'll hold your phone. >> And I don't want your kid seeing you in handcuffs. Okay? I know you want to see I listen. Get you want to see your kid 100%. I would too, but I don't want her to see you in handcuffs. Okay. So, what do you think is the best option for your daughter? Do you think your daughter should stay here? Do you think your daughter should stay here with him over there with the neighbors? They say they have 22 grandchildren. I'd still prefer to at least try to call my sister and my brother and see if one of them could. >> In the end, she was charged with neglect without causing bodily harm. Up next is the shocking case of a reckless mom who threw a full-blown tantrum while her baby was fighting for life from an overdose. >> She needs a diaper on. That's why I'm getting her a diaper. >> A pregnant miscarriage. >> You should be >> and she's fine. I don't want stop. >> On May the 2nd, 2024, officers rushed to an apartment in Vancouver after frantic 911 calls reported a child had overdosed and was in serious condition. The baby's grandmother had already administered two doses of Narcan, desperately trying to keep the child alive. Officers rushed to the scene, but the last thing they expected to encounter was the baby's irresponsible mother, who clearly was not concerned about her child's life. >> Uh, yeah. Okay. >> All right. Are we coming out with kid right now? >> No, I'm not. Did you not hear what I just said? >> Nope. We're going out right now. >> Nope. >> I need a bra. >> I didn't know you were an officer. I thought you were an EMT. >> She needs a diaper on. That's why I'm getting her a diaper. >> On, you guys. They're not letting me put a diaper on her. >> She has abandonment issues. Stop. Please. She needs a diaper on. >> She needs a diaper on. >> She needs a diaper. She needs a diaper. The officers had no choice but to rip the child from the deranged woman's arms and rush him to the hospital. Once the child was safe, it was time for the officers to confront the poor excuse of a mother identified as 27-year-old Summer Justice Ward. >> Please stop. >> No way. No. >> Stop. Please stop. No way. You guys, please. Didn't know you. I thought you were ETS. I was trying to get dressed. She doesn't have a diaper on. >> They wouldn't let me grab it. >> I wasn't even checking their >> I'll grab her a couple >> stupid things. I didn't know they were hot. >> I wasn't paying attention to what they are. I was just trying to get ready. I don't even have a bronze to the hospital. >> No, they're arresting me. >> Like a little toy that you like to bring with >> I'm going to double lock off your handcuffs. Okay, everyone. Okay. >> No, you guys stop. Please >> stop. >> I want to go. >> Please stop. Please. I want to go. [Music] >> Please stop. No. The officers knew there was no point in reasoning with this woman because as the minutes passed, her behavior spiraled further out of control. >> There's nothing in my pants. Ow. Stop. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. >> I can't breathe. I can't breathe. >> I can't breathe. >> You're going Stop. I can't breathe. This isn't fair. I was supposed to go to the hospital. Let's go. [Music] >> It's too tight. >> What the h I'm pregnant having a miscarriage onto your neck. Did you just see that? >> My bone >> stomach so they can close. >> Do it. >> I would adise. >> Get off my spine. >> I'm on your spine. >> You are right here. >> He's literally on your head. >> That's my spine. >> Stop. >> Stop touching me. >> You're under arrest. >> Okay. Well, get off of me. >> Stop moving. >> Help. Help. >> All right. She's not what I'm doing. It's fine. We're fine. Just let her hands it now. >> Now you're done handling me. >> I'll double off them. >> The officers tried their best to handle the situation as professionally as possible. But when the woman showed no concern for her unwell child, one officer finally decided to give her a longdue lesson on parenting. >> No, it hurts. >> Stop moving. >> Okay, go. Please listen to the cops. >> You should be >> and she's crying. You >> a woman. >> Yeah, you touched me. >> Stop. Be quiet. >> He is the least of your worries right now. Be quiet. Let go of >> Be quiet. >> This hurts. >> Be quiet. >> Is that Ricky listening? I'm trying to adjust it. >> This is my house till I get to your house >> right now. This is not your house. >> Please be quiet. >> We're in here. >> Please. >> I want to go to the hospital. >> This wasn't supposed to happen like this. >> Stop. No. I don't want to go. That's not happening. That's not going to happen today. Okay. >> Yes, it is. >> It's It's not. It's really not. So, uh, here's what I'm going to do. Stay like that and I'll loosen your handcuffs. Okay. >> No. >> Okay, that's fine, too. >> Stop. >> He's jumping on me. >> Yeah, your dog's your dog's fine. [Music] I'm literally having a miscarriage right now and you're putting me in handcuffs right now. I'm still technically pregnant. That's illegal. >> Like seriously, >> wait for you. >> Uh let's Are they clear down there? >> Yeah, let's wait till they're clear. >> Yeah. Why can't I go to the hospital? Did she already >> in here legally? >> Did she already? >> We're already in here. >> Do I take some photos, too? >> Don't take photos of my room. Are you serious? Why would you do that? >> For evidence. >> Evidence of what? It's not >> somehow. >> I don't even know if she did. I didn't have any. >> Well, generally when somebody wakes up from taking that only means that they've >> I thought she was choking on the tubs. Do you see the tubs? We were all napping. >> Yeah. >> Well, we'll let the hospital figure that out. >> Well, you don't need I'm going to hold on to you. Yeah. >> No, please. You're sweaty. >> No, I'm I'm not sweaty. >> I'm obviously coughed. >> Stop. Don't touch me. [Music] >> No, you're staying here while they get them figured out. >> No. >> Coupled with a full-blown tantrum, Summer proved to the officers she had the mental capacity of a toddler. And since she so desperately wanted to act like a child, it was only a matter of time before the officers decided to treat her like one. [Music] [Music] Why body on me? I'm not moving. Stop. >> Stop. Stop. >> Stop. I can't get off my body. >> We wanted you to stop. Stop moving. I'll >> If you stop moving and you sit calmly, then I'll stop. You want to sit up? >> You want to sit right there? >> Sit right there. >> Oh, you can sit right there. You can sit right there. Don't touch me. >> Please. >> Okay. >> Stop. I go with me. I don't want to lay down. >> That's fine. You can sit up. >> You can sit up if you want to act like an adult. >> Please. >> Sit there. It's not moving. >> Are you going to There's no suits on. >> I've been trying to loosen them. I really have. down there. >> Can we compromise? >> Can we compromise? What? >> I will be still. Can you please? >> Sure. >> All right. Stay right there. >> I have been trying to loosen these the entire time. >> You guys are touching me. >> They're sweating. I asked them to stop. >> Stay still. >> My room was literally just Now you're turning. Oh my goodness. This is that is Oh, the actual bones. >> That's not really the clutter we're worried about. It's more the access to >> There's no. >> After being forced to cooperate, Summer finally stood on her own two feet. But just when the officers thought they'd seen the worst of her, she uttered something so unhinged that it left them in stunned silence. >> The boxing before I go into the jail. >> Are you going to overdose? How can I overdose? >> You can overdose on suboxin. >> No, I'm not going to overdose any publishers and you don't have one. >> Okay, they can provide suboxin to you. Do you have a prescription for it? >> Just your wallet. >> No, my prescription's out. >> I have a couple I want you to take to jail. >> I will. >> Yes, I will. >> Okay. >> No. >> Yes. >> I just want to take my suboxin. No. >> Hey, stop trying to mess with your cuffs. >> I'm not going to get it by tonight and I'm going to go into the floor in Clark County. You never >> how coming off of opiates works. >> Yes, it is. I just tried. >> Can I just grab the boxes? >> No. No. Absolutely not. >> Okay. You guys don't. >> Is that Are they clear? >> Are they clear down there? [Music] >> I don't know. >> Okay. Yeah, we're probably good then. Do you want any shoes? You got any slip-on slippers? >> I want to go to the bathroom. >> Okay, we'll get you to the bathroom at Joe. >> No, I want to go now. >> Okay. No, not going to happen. Sorry. >> No, I want to go to the bathroom. >> Oh, we're going down the stairs now. >> As things unfolded, officers decided to search the lady. And that was when one officer spotted a small baggie hidden in her shirt. He gave her a chance to come clean, but her response was as reckless as one would expect from a junkie. Whatever you stuffed into your pants will get it later. So, come on. >> Yeah, I can I can see this, too. >> The There's something in your shirt. >> There is. That's a fair nipple. >> I You know what? I can't dispute that. >> I know. That's what I said. >> Um, yeah. Perfect. >> You want to just stay in there, get photos, take a look around? Yeah. >> Mom, I don't want them taking photos of my room that I just tore apart. It's not up to you. >> Okay. Uh Bean, just in case she falls, can you kind of walk us? Just walk. >> I'm not going to fall. >> All right, let's go. >> So, step down. >> Step down. >> Step down the stairs. >> Here you go. Keep stepping. You got it. You're doing it. >> Yep. I don't want to go to the hospital to go for her right now. >> I don't want to stop. >> Let go of me. Let go of me. >> At this point, the officers had run out of patience. Her meltdown had gone on long enough, and it was time to put an end to it. This is ridiculous. Stand up. >> Stand up. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up before it hurts even more to stand up. I love you. [Music] >> Go to my car. >> Walk. >> Walk. >> Go ahead. Go ahead. >> We're going to that car. [Applause] >> Yeah. I got to search her first. >> What side are you on? Uh, well, there's only one side that came. So, uh, it'll be the other side. >> Here, I'll hold her if you want to search her. >> Sergeant, would you mind witnessing the search? >> Don't break my arm. >> You are under arrest. How many times [Music] [Music] >> she has to relax. It won't hurt. That's underwear on. >> That's why. >> Do you have underwear on? >> No. >> Break your legs. Split your legs. >> Don't good. All right, we're going to go the other side. Charge. >> Let go. My arm got the >> summer. Ward was booked into the Clark County Jail on suspicion of endangerment with a controlled substance, secondderee criminal mistreatment, resisting arrest, obstructing a law enforcement officer and possession of a controlled substance. Summer might have been a terrible mom, but David took things to a whole new level of horror, allowing rats to chew on his own toddler. >> Ear bleed. I noticed blood and I seen his fingers, and I see that he he his fingers look like they've been chewed. Uh, we have a rat problem here. I've been trying to get rid of them. >> Are these very large rats? >> Yeah. I mean, they're about long. >> That's about a foot. >> Yeah. >> Because there is one. There's a direct correlation between the Clinton house and the presence of the rats. >> Sometime in 2023, officers arrived at a home in Evansville, Indiana, after 28-year-old David Shunnbam called 911, claiming he found his 6-month-old infant severely injured inside his bassinet. But when officers stepped inside, they found the baby covered in more than 50 rat bites. And as they surveyed the home, it dawned upon them that the sole culprit responsible for the baby's dreadful condition was none other than his irresponsible father. >> Hi. Hello. [Music] I walked and found him this morning. sandwich too. Start another card in supervisor. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] >> But we hear >> that doesn't happen in a baby not make a sound. Knock it on down. [Applause] [Music] >> What? >> Take them out? >> No, they need they need to stay here for right now. >> So, you're saying you didn't have a mark on him when he went to bed? >> No marks on him at all. >> No mark at all. >> We laid him down. He was happy as can be. He fell asleep. We came in here to watch some TV. >> What time was that? We put him to bed at what like >> about 8. >> About 8. >> And then we just here. We haven't heard anything like since then. >> I mean, he was supposed to be at one time around like 10 or 11. I went in there. >> What's your name? >> My my name's Delina Thurman. >> The officer could tell right away David's story was a lie. And as the medics arrived, it became clear there was far more to this disturbing scene than met the eye. He got marks all over. His fingers are like chewed off. I don't know what happened. They said it wasn't like that. Didn't hear him make a sound all night. >> Okay. >> I've been having a rat problem here, but I've got traps everywhere. Got bait box everywhere. Try best I can. >> That doesn't happen to him not make a sound all night. [Music] >> All right. Well, I know, but I'm sorry. >> Let's go. Let's go get you checked out. How about that? >> No. >> No, not right now. >> Sit down. [Music] >> Go ahead. No. >> Yes. There's four. [Music] >> Four other children. >> What that look like? >> You saw? >> Yeah, exactly. Act like, "Oh, you make sound." >> As the responding officer momentarily stepped aside for another officer to take over, David took it as an opportunity to showcase a first class acting performance. >> Which one's the dead? Come on, guys. >> All right. >> Hey, David. You understand? You're right. >> Okay. Can you tell me what is going on this morning? >> I went I was going to bed last night at 8:00. >> Okay. >> Uh heard you fuss a little bit about 10:00. >> Game ball, which is absolutely normal. He was great. >> Okay. >> Uh I was getting all kids up, ready for school this morning. Okay. >> Uh, I went in there like I've been doing went in there to to hug him up and I see blood everywhere. So, I got him up. I like, "Okay, where's the blood coming from?" I worked for AMR for a while. Okay. >> I was like, "Where's blood coming from?" You know, so did he have a nose bleed? Did he have ear bleed? I noticed amount of blood. And I seen his fingers >> and I see that he he his fingers look like they've been chewed on and >> Okay. What does he sleep in? Like a crib or >> He has a bassinet. Bassinet that's on the like stands up, you know, off the floor. >> Okay. >> And is the corner of the room? >> Never had any any issues. >> So, you think a dog was chewing on this thing or not? >> No. No. Uh, we have a rat problem here. I've been trying to get rid of them. I've got termin here. I've got bait blocks. I've got traps. >> Okay. >> All set. And it was like, >> "Okay, can you show me the bassinet or if if you need you need to take a minute? Do you smoke cigarettes or anything?" >> I do. >> You do? Do you want a cigarette? >> Yeah. Mom's in there with the children. >> That's not That's That's my aunt. >> That's your His aunt. I mean, >> okay. >> Uh my wife's like boy right now. >> Okay. David tried his best to sell his crocodile tears, but the officers weren't buying it. Little did officers know there was a reason behind David's desperation, a secret he wanted to keep hidden, which was uncovered when they began examining the house. Then we'll have you access the door open here. >> This is where [Music] No, >> no, >> no. >> So, this is where you normally sleep. [Music] Make sure [Music] there are little dog quits freaking out. chill out your way here. >> Oh, you're good. I'm just trying to stay out of y'all's way. >> Yeah, I had everything. >> I've got rifle, crossbow, hell pistol, and crossbow. And then I got just a >> What is this? A closet over here? >> Where? I'm sorry. >> The door that that's next to the back door. >> Oh, no. Oh, that goes to the basement. >> Filth covered every inch of the home. But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was the heartbreaking condition the baby was in. The officers then confronted David, who had no excuse to offer for his miserable parenting skills. I'm not sure if I've told him about the rats, >> but the rats obvious the rats are obviously distinguishable from the mice. They're much bigger. >> Yes. And >> are these very large rats? >> Yeah. I mean, they're about long. >> That's about a foot. >> Yeah. >> Okay. And I've actually uh I've got BB sits in the uh the bathroom before in the in the bathroom with the B. >> Do you feel like your kids are safe in that house with all those rats? I mean, obviously we found out today they're not. >> No, I really after today I really don't. Have you ever before today did you have concerns about >> I didn't cuz I I thought rats they they ate mice they ate trash you know I never never would have ever dreamed that they go after something live you know I I never drink it you know One thing I asked you when I first got there on scene was about your open DCS cases >> and you currently have an open DCS case about the cleanliness of your home, right? >> Yes, sir. >> And what has been when was the last time they were over? >> Uh my linger uh is who who we go through for the DCS case. >> Okay. >> Uh they were there Saturday or Sunday. >> I want it Saturday. >> And it's a he with DCS. No. Uh well DCS is is our ongoing case work. >> Okay. Ongoing. Magalina is an agency that comes in. >> Yes. Is the agency that DCS uses. >> Okay. >> And we did this all voluntarily. >> Right. Right. Right. >> You know did because you know when we talked to DCS he goes I open a case. He said or you can do voluntary services. And we did voluntary services. >> Okay. Okay. I know they give you those options sometimes. >> Yeah. >> So but specifically it was about the open DCS case. is about the cleanliness of your home. >> Yeah. And organization skills. >> Okay. So, when I walk in your home today and I look in the kitchen, the kitchen is just trashed. I mean, there's trash everywhere. >> Dog's been there for couple hours, you know, >> but the uh kitchen uh you know, the rest of the house I got picked up, you know, I picked up last night was cleaning and stuff and you know, kids, they get toys out everywhere. But the kitchen I've been working on remodeling like there was a pile of of the mice droppings and stuff that was in front of the oven. The old oven when I pulled it out, that's where that came from. So I just started remodeling on the kitchen. >> Okay. >> But no matter what fairy tales he cooked, the officers weren't buying his story one bit. >> Did you see the direct correlation? Because there is one. There's a direct correlation between the Clinton house and the presence of the riots. Direct correlation. And when you when you allow you allow it to get in such condition where it's not clean, that's that's a basically a breeding ground for rats. That's you know cuz you you keep the house clean and picked up and those things that attract rats, you know, I mean you can keep a real clean house and get bugs in. I understand that. I mean I we there's certain times of the year you get I've got black ants in my home. I mean you you can have it all sorts of problems. I mean it just you know insects get in homes. There's no doubt about that. But there's a direct correlation with the condition in your home and the rat in the rat problem. And I mean, do you understand that? >> I didn't realize that. You know, I knew you know the mice were, you know, I understood. But when you know, I was kind of talking to Tex lady and stuff. She's like, "It's the neighborhood." She said, she goes, she said, "I got houses in this neighborhood." And she goes, "But I treat," she goes, "How's going to be spotless?" And there's rats, >> right? And I understand that as well. I mean, >> dirty. She goes, "There's rats." >> She goes, "I count up through the sewers. I come up through the pipes." She goes, she goes, "This area is just" She goes, "Horrible." >> I mean, and you know, his fingers were nearly chewed off, you know, and and dangling bones. You can see the >> literally I just seen that's where the blood was coming from. I just I didn't know what else to do called. Yeah, you did the right thing. I >> I worked on it. I used to work for AMR, >> right? >> But there's difference between working on someone else and working on your own. >> Oh, yeah. >> I could imagine. I could imagine. And >> look, look, Michom, I I'm I've worked a lot of cases where parents intentionally harm their children. Throw them up against walls, beat them with items, punch them, do horrible, horrible things to their children. >> Okay? And that's not the case here. That's not the case. But your home is unlivable. It is for children. Children should not, they shouldn't be living in your home. And they're not going to be because it's just we don't want to step into another child. >> I don't like that. >> Yeah, I don't. >> Right. And the problem is the thing is the other children can escape these rats. You're laying in a It's not like he can stand up and crawl out and get away from him. He's >> Yeah, he's trapped. >> I've never had this issue with other kids. >> In the end, the child's mother, Angel Shabbam, and the child's aunt, Delena Thurman, were booked on multiple charges, including neglect of a dependent. David, however, faced the harshest fate. Found guilty by a jury and sentenced to 16 years behind bars. Finally, we have the case of a reckless mother of three who lost custody of all of her kids after abandoning them at a wedding venue and driving off without a care. >> No, >> you're about to catch this. >> Damn, I'm so mad, dude. >> Just a license. >> I can't. I'll probably take care of my kids. Now we have to go to the hospital. >> I got drunk. Okay. I don't take care of my It's a wedding. I'm in a bridesmaid. >> On the 8th of October 2021, a wedding reception was interrupted after police officers received a report about a woman who had abandoned three of her kids at the wedding venue and just took off. When the officers showed up at the venue, they spoke to a few wedding guests who provided them with further information about the irresponsible mother who clearly did not have any business having children. >> What What's going on? cuz there's a bunch of people here. Different >> I walked out after they already called you guys. Um so she actually to tell you better what happened. >> All right, let me try to figure out what the heck's going on. What's going on? >> So um our friend Brian Spain uh her boyfriend rolled up with her three kids that weren't invited and he threw the kids to her and she's drunk. Can't drive. He's she's drunk and uh we don't want the kids to go home with them. >> So that's what's happening. >> He dipped on >> I know. Is there anybody here? I have no idea.

They can grab us if they need with the kids. Okay. >> Thank you guys. >> Come on. >> Appreciate it. Go try to have some fun. >> Some moments later, the mother Mickey Dorene Beiel was pulled over in respect of the situation. She however refused to cooperate with the officers and acted unbothered after leaving her kids by themselves. >> We got a call about a concern about your the condition that you're in that you left your children here. Um, some people called in and said you're extremely intoxicated and drove away. So, my name is Officer Gillicuy. Okay. So, I'm just here to talk to you about what's going on tonight. So, can you tell me what's going on with the kids? >> No. >> What's that? >> No. >> Step out of the car. Go to the front of the car. All right.

No, I'm just mad. >> You know who this is? >> I have never seen that dude in my life. >> No, but if you need a lawyer, >> go have a nice night. >> Mickey's nonchalance about her kids' welfare and refusal to cooperate with the police left them with no option but to arrest her. >> All right, ma'am.

Are you willing to do some field sobriety exercises? >> All right. refusal to do the DUI exercises as I've lawfully requested will force me to make a DUI arrest decision based on the totality of the circumstances and everything I've observed up to this point and your refusal to participate in the exercises will force me to make a DUI arrest decision right now and can be used against you under a court of law. >> All right. >> Will you do the exercises? >> No. Turn around for DUI and obstruction and child neglect. >> Is there someone here for your children? >> Is there anybody here for your children? >> Jupiter traffic 25.
