Once you understand your rights, even though you're not technically under arrest right now, you're being detained. Once you understand your rights, we're going to talk to you. You have the right to remain silent. Okay. I read that straight off this card. Do you understand your rights? >> Okay. You understand your rights?

He said, "Hey." I said, "Oh, hey, baby." Next thing you know, he jets to me. He says, "Help me." I pick him up. I'm like, "Okay." I said, "Well, baby, I can't have you right now cuz I don't have custom." Every time I have a baby, I lose my memory because I epilepsy and I give one of my children to my family. So, they did adopt him. But all every time I have a kid, one of my family members adopted him. >> So, you're saying that this little guy you had tonight, >> you're saying you're his biological mom? >> His bio mom. They adopted him, but I'm not I can't be with him. So, I go straight to the house. I'm seeing why they have my baby out here like this. Nobody's at the house. Nobody. Nobody's at the park with him. So, okay. Won't nobody let me use the phone. I'm trying to call the police. Literally, everybody's passing me just saying, "No, we can't use the phone." I went down to 17, tried to use the phone. So, I go to Brooklyn. They won't let me use the phone. So, then I go down to the chicken place. He says, "I'm home." I get him some food. I try to use the phone. They won't let me use the phone. So, I'm like, "Okay, I'm going to walk back to the house and see if they're at the house." As soon as I come right here, they all hop out the car saying I kidnapped their nephew. Here comes him running. He punched me in my face, picked me up by my neck, slammed me on the ground, and then I looked at him and I said, "It's me." And he said, "Oh, that's his own mom, and then walked away and got quiet. I'm not supposed to have >> I'm not supposed to have kids, but I can walk my 26 years old." He ran up to me. I'm not trying to have no kids. But as a mother, if if my child's walking up to me saying, "Help me." What are you supposed to do? I tried to use your phone. >> Now, does he know that you're his biological mom? >> All my kids know I'm your mom. I just don't remember him. I have memory. With epilepsy, you have memory loss. >> So, you're saying you're his biological mom. He came up to you. >> Was he by himself? >> No, he was by himself at the park. That's what they said. That's what they said when they were pulling him into the car. >> Mhm. >> I see them a black man holding his neck like this. >> I don't know who this black man. I don't know. He got gas. >> Next thing you know, they said we're his neighbors. No, he said, "Hey." And I looked at him. I said, "Hey, baby." He runs up to me. He said, "Help me, Mom." I said, "Oh, okay, babe. Well, I can't have you right now, so y'all got to take them home." >> I walk all the way to the house by the tracks over on Laura. They not there. Nobody's at the house. >> So, I'm like, "Okay, let me use the phone." I literally asked 15 different people. They will not let me use the phone cuz I was going to call police. So, I walked. He said he hungry. I walked to the chicken place. I get food. >> How long was he with you tonight? >> He was only with me for like like a good >> hang tight for me. The problem is we don't have the biological mother here. >> She says she's the biological mom. Is she? >> Everything that I've been told no. >> There's not one singular person that has any idea who that is. >> Unless we're getting lied to. >> True. >> If she's really the mom, it doesn't mean she's not in trouble. But if I'm biological mom, I get the kid up and the kids running around out here by himself. I might hang out with him till he gets home. Right. >> And if he's hungry, I might get him. >> Yep. >> So, let me see what's going on. >> Hop out. >> You know why that man? You're so daddy. Damn. Choked me up, slam me, and punched me in my face. The woman was charged with unlawful confinement, possession of related items, and unlawful restraint.
