Last time I would be alone by myself and be car by yourself. This time I was alone a deep road. I didn't anyone else. I was just like standing right. Two pint-sized escape artists, locked out of their apartment and full of chaotic energy, managed to turn a quiet morning into a small scale mystery. One was worried about their tummy. The other was casually named dropping Tik Tok and cookie stores like a mini celebrity. Meanwhile, mom's at work, unaware her kids just launched a surprise episode of Home Alone Parking Lot Edition. You said you left the apartment cuz your tummy hurts. Yes. Okay. Where were you trying to go? I was trying to go to mall. What? You know, it's so it's dangerous. Do you see all these cars? It's really dangerous. To the sidewalk, though. Home? Yeah. Okay. Are you sure they're at home? Yeah. Okay. Cuz they're Where do you live? Do you live in the village? Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Our dad lives in Bermuda. Okay. Does she leave you alone a lot? No. This is our first day. This is the first day? Yeah. We've never been alone. Were you lonely? No. Did she give you instructions on what to do today? No, I don't know. Or she told me it's that car that has to listen to me. Yeah. What are you able to call her on like an iPad or anything? In case of an emergency? No, we don't have an iPad. So, you don't have any way to call her if there's an emergency? No, I look for his phone and his keys so I can the way to get out. But I couldn't find her, right? Yeah, because he keeps keys in her car. the caller. She doesn't have a license. She's just waiting for someone to come to drive the vehicle away. Child endangerment. Yeah. Your mommy's on her way. No. Yeah, we found her. 89. We're headed over there now. So, uh, the lady in the vehicle right there said that she was pulling out of her parking space cuz she lives in building 11. And there building 10. Yeah, you live in building 10. She was pulling out of her parking space and the two girls ran out in front of her and she almost hit him. Uh, she I guess Carter said her stomach hurt and she was coming to they were coming to the mall to see you. Okay, but where's Auntie India? She didn't come. What you mean? She said she was coming. She said she was here. No, she wasn't. So, I was just dropping cookies. I have a beach I have a um bakery over in Beach Mall and then I have a friend who lives nearby. I just call her whenever I need her help. Um I was in such a rush this morning. I ran over and not this morning. It was morning and I um just dropped the cookies off and I was coming right back. Okay. What time did you leave? Um like 10 minutes ago. I was at home baking all day. What time approximately? I was there like 1:40. Okay. Yeah. It wasn't long at all. And you just left to go drop cookies off? Yep. Mhm. Yeah. My employees over there. Okay. Turns out the only thing baked that day were the mom's priorities. She left the kids with a ghost babysitter and sprinted off to sell cookies like it was a dessert emergency. The kids had no plan, no phone, and clearly no adult supervision. It wasn't bad parenting, just a mom trying to do everything at once, forgetting kids can't babysit themselves. So, were were you girls sleeping when mom left? Okay. And you said that their aunt was supposed to come over? Um, I just have a friend that lives nearby. Okay. And did you speak with this friend? Yeah. Yeah. I messaged her in as she said she was on her way. What's What's the friend's name? Her name's India. India. I know her. Did you? As long as it's still on the front. Yeah. So, it's No, it's fine. I'm so sorry. Yep. That's all I need. But you left without India being there yet. She was on She was on her way, but she never showed up. She wasn't there yet. But I literally call her every time and she always comes every single time. That's my honest to God that's my fault. I should have been until she was there. But I I'm just so used to Is there any other relatives that live nearby? Yep. I have a whole bunch of relatives that my grandma stays over here in Shaker right here by middle school. Do you have on your phone proof that you called this India girl? I would have to have a date and time on I mean I called her at 1:40 to make sure that she was still there. I have the date and time on that. Are we able to see that? Yep. At what time? 1:40. That was just to make sure that she was still there. I had just gone over to mommy. Okay. And you confirmed that she was on the way? Yes. But she never arrived before you left. Yeah. Mhm. Okay. Okay. So, you called India after we had already received notification that the kids were loose. What we're what we're we're asking for you to show us is proof that you had somebody coming over to babysit the kids cuz 139 or 140 is not a good time. It was a private call. It's not showing up. Nothing prior to 139. No, but I mean I can call her or just any text messages? It was through Instagram. And are you able to pull that up? No, cuz it was on a private so it's deleted. It was deleted. Okay. Well, that's that's where we kind of run into we kind of run into a situation there. I totally get it. I know this is absolutely crazy. I know. Mhm. Uh we're just trying to figure out. So, this I'll just give you the rundown. Char found mom and the girls were walking outside of their of their building and almost got run over and correct. And she's like, "Oh, India is supposed to be there." Well, mom can't provide any proof that she's like, "Oh, no, no, I called India." Well, she called India at 1:39. We got the No, she called India at 1:40. We got this call at 139. Mom's lying about getting a babysitter. Mom had no babysitter. So, anyway, we have two girls that one said she had a tummy ache. These two 5-year-olds were going to walk to the mall to find mom. Yes. Cuz cuz she got a tummy ache. And so, um yeah, she she's definitely going to get hooked up. However, this is requiring a bond. It started with, "My friend India was coming over and ended with absolutely no India in sight. Mom insisted she always shows up like magic." Except this time, Magic was running late. And when asked for proof, it was a private call on Instagram and also deleted. Ma'am, this isn't Hogwarts. It's an investigation from a judge. Child endangering requires we contact the judge. And we have two little girls we don't know what to do with. So probably just going to have to tell the judge that and um and beg for a personal. I I would like to just keep the the girls and mom in the same car. I don't think the girls should be in a separate car than mom. Are you guys in kindergarten? So you came you came to the house cuz car said something about you didn't come. We didn't show her. She was Oh my god. And then and then I don't know why would I call you on this stupid Instagram private because it's not they need a date and a time to show that I told you to come real quick. Is that her? Yeah. Okay. Just one second. Hey Cam. Yeah. The girl's on the phone. She's on the phone with her friend India that could watch the kids potentially. Okay. Apparently maybe the friend India can come watch the kids. So we we might be able to just take all the kids and mom, drop kids off advantage and then take mom. All right. So, we'll we'll we'll work on that. So, as soon as we leave, as soon as we're separated, he wants you to call 696 kids to see if they want to come and interview her at the jail. Mhm. Cuz sometimes they haven't been able to get a hold of people. She seems like a respectable person that she's going to be here, you know, at some point. Not going to jump out uh escape that. Yeah. Maya, can I speak with you, please? Outside. So, we don't want to talk about this in front of your kids at all. Okay. You have to be booked and processed for child endanger. Okay. So, you have it requires you to be fingerprinted and they're at our station. Okay. You have to get arrested for this. Are we able to drop the girls off in at India's house while India is not English? Okay. So, that's fine. So, we're going to put all three of you in the back of a police car together on hand unhanded. We're just going to make sure you don't have anything on you. Okay. And you're not going to be handcuffed as long as you're sitting in the car with your kids. Can they go to my grandma's house? That's what we're looking for. We're looking for a babysitter. Yeah. Yeah. Um my grandma is not home at the moment. Um my grandpa is doing Is he able to drive? How long will this take? No, because we have to contact the judge for approval to let you go. I'm imagining she will, but this this requires us to call the judge. Okay. Bring ID, your cell phone, um if you haven't like your wallet cuz if the judge if the judge does set a bond, obviously you're going have to pay that bond to get out. We're going to go for a little ride car. First time for driving, right? The field trip. You guys want the big car? Pick which car you want. You want the big car? All right, that's fine. I never been in a big car before. Is this going to go on my public record? So, it's not something that we like put out to the media or anything. So, yeah. You don't make You don't make Cleveland. Yeah, there's We don't release a booking photo or anything like that. All right, scoot on over. Hold on one second. They kind of Yeah. Put the seat belt on. There you go. I can't I don't have one. Oh, that's okay for right now. Yeah. So, I'm going to call 696 kids now to see if they want to interview her before she leaves the jail. You're going to drop the kids off and then go to the jail. There's a female co and I've already patted her down. So, good. Mom wanted to drop off cookies. ended up getting booked instead. Meanwhile, India the babysitter remained as real as a unicorn. Now it's a ride in the big car, minus the fun, snacks, or any actual music. The kids are calling it a field trip, and honestly, that's the most wholesome part of this circus. The woman faced a child endangerment charge and was later released on bond. In the end, if you enjoyed the video, hit that like button and drop your thoughts in the comments.
