On May 25th, 2022, authorities received a call reporting that a mother appeared at her ex-husband's home, behaving unpredictably and insisting [music] on seeing her child. Upon arrival, police recorded the account of the father's new partner, who was still surprised by the ex-wife's unusual behavior. Baby, got the baby. She was supposed to pick him up this morning. She called, said she weren't coming to get him. He had to go to work. So I guess she upset he here with me. And she come over here ratting and raving. And I checked my camera.

You can see she didn't say nothing. >> Just send that video to me. >> She didn't say nothing. She banging on the door. She didn't say nothing. >> From the mother's perspective, she denied bringing any concerning items, but footage told a [music] different story. In the heat of jealousy and the emotional strain of a past relationship, she let feelings override the calm she needed. >> Miss Michael, what's your business here? My son is my son is sick.

Under Georgia State Law, she could face up to one year in prison and a $1,000 fine. This story is not [music] just about mistakes, but also the consequences of holding on to the past. Had the mother chosen conversation, accepted reality, and [music] sought a new path, much of this trouble might have been avoided. I want to know why I'm being trespassed. >> You have a child who cares about this being trespassed. I want to know why I'm being trespassed. >> This mother had just caused a scene at a bar and was advised to leave, but her later actions prompted the police to remind her, "Act like an adult." On February 16th, 2025, police received a call from the bar reporting a couple causing a disturbance with a young child present. They arrived promptly where the bar manager was waiting to explain the situation. >> Hey, did you call the manager on duty? Yes, I called. What's going on with you? >> So, we had a group of this family in here on 32 33. Everything was fine. They were in having drinks. They were in having dinner. As of about 15 minutes ago, I just walked to my back bathroom. Patron at the bar said it was perfectly fine 15 minutes ago. I go in there, things are ripped off the wall. The dividers between the uriners are ripped down. The bathroom's destroyed. >> I'm not saying I'm not I'm not pointing fingers. I'm not accusing stuff that could be But they're creating an upheaval now in the restaurant, getting into it with guests, demanding a manager, yelling and screaming. It's come to a point to where I'd like them cast and no longer here. But uh they were getting into it with the bartender and they're specifically both of them. >> Both of them. >> Yeah. >> All right. Let's step over here. >> Yeah. >> This is the >> Yeah, this is the essentially 1017s, I guess. >> Was that uh the TV? >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's fine. Okay. >> All right. So, what makes us believe that it was these guys? You said camera footage is >> we had a friend in. We don't have cameras in the bathroom. >> Yeah. No, no, no. I'm saying on the outside like who doesn't >> Yeah. Just the way that he went in there and he started pointing and accusing and saying it was possibly someone else just kind of deflecting. I went in there and looked immediately after. His friend since left with his wife that was threw up at our booth. Uh she was out in the car, but they were going back and forth numerous times to the bathroom. And uh like I said, 20 minutes ago, it was perfectly fine. >> Um so you don't want you just want us to document that, but you want us to do >> I want to see if we can do anything with it, but I definitely want them trespass because they, you know, young children. >> Can I take a look and see? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> So when I came in here, these dividers have been swiveled and were laying on the ground kind of diagonally and down here. Looks like somebody just took them and just started shaking them. >> Yeah. >> What would you estimate the cost of me? >> I'm not exactly sure. I would approximate that it'd be between It's a handyman. The brackets will have to be replplumbed, reset, refilled. They could be anywhere from $1,200 to $1,800. >> Okay. So, um, do you have your ideal? >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Yeah. They rip those things off the wall, dude. What >> the urinal dividers >> near the men's restroom? >> Thank you. >> Yes, sir. I appreciate you guys. >> So, we don't know for certain that the gentleman out there was >> blue shirt was in there about 20 minutes ago. Noticed that his friend and the other guy out front now had gone back there behind him. He went back in and he was the one that actually alerted me of the problem in the bathroom. >> Yeah. The gentleman started yelling at the bartender saying, "You work for me. I don't know what you're talking about." Yeah, I divided them. You >> think the bartenders are the cops? >> The guy went to the blue shirt guy and was like, "Why are you trying to be a hero? Now's not the time." You know, and the guy's like, "Not trying to do anything." I divided them. And then the girl, his wife, just started yelling in the middle of the dining room. I demand a man in. >> After reviewing statements and footage from the bar, police approached the couple who appeared tense and unsettled. >> Honestly, like I want to pause all of this and I want to know what he has a problem. Like I did not have a >> I'm a customer, right? >> Right. >> Obviously something happened. >> What the is his problem? >> It's a private establishment. He can have you trespass. >> Okay. Well, you should because it's private property just like your house is private, right? Is your house private? Yes.

Have a good night. >> You need to leave before you go to jail. Thank you. >> The situation escalated further when additional concerns were reported. Police returned to address the matter, which caused the mother to react even more strongly. >> Is this really what we're going to be doing tonight? Seriously? >> No. Being honest with you. No. >> No. Because now we have a witness saying something happened back here. So >> So what's happened? >> You want to go?

The father faced a trespassing charge after being warranted. Under Florida law, she could face 12 to 16 years in prison and an $11,000 fine, while the father might face a lighter penalty of one year in prison and a $1,000 fine. In this situation, the mother's actions could initially have been limited to a simple warning to leave the area. But by losing control of her emotions during the interaction, the legal consequences became far more serious. A baby was without adult supervision in a stroller, highlighting important lessons about laws, parental responsibility, and community care. They said there's a baby sleeping at the station. They slept there for like a half an hour. >> On February 14th, 2024, Sukakus police received an urgent call from Meadowand's Exposition Center staff reporting an unattended infant in a stroller. They arrived immediately and took statements from the staff present. Oh, hi. >> Hi, sir. My wife. >> Does I know our body one cameras are activated? >> Huh? >> Our body one cameras are activated. >> Oh, yeah. We have cameras. This is a show that I think for all the Jewish community. We're all Jewish people here. We all know each other. I know every single person that's here inside. We registered. Nobody comes in without registering. We we had uh I made a personal policy because of the items that are here. You know, things might fall. My dad, let babies go inside. So, we have a little room outside. She didn't know the room is there. You can have somebody watch the baby. So, we have like, you know, three babies inside that room, but there's a lady sitting there watching them. She didn't know that. She just left the baby right here by the door at the entrance with my personal guard standing there plus the two Sukotus convention guards were standing. And they said there's a lady sleeping. They they slept there for like a half an hour. >> We need computers electricity. >> Electricity is not good is the back of the house. >> Right. Can I have somebody electricity in the front desk? We need electricity in the front desk, please. >> So, she was staying inside. She was standing actually in the front second row, first booth. She was standing there talking to I came outside. I see two officers standing next to the baby carriages. What's going on? But the guy say she's already half an hour not inside. I said she's probably inside. might come out. She didn't announce when she came out. Then she came inside out. They say they're going to detain her because she left the baby there. >> First minute you said I came running. >> Yes. The second not even a second after I said it. She was outside. Right. She was right there. So I said, "Listen, it's my fault that I I wrote it on the ads that they shouldn't bring the carriage." A lot of them forget. Let them forget. They bring the carriage. They think they can leave the carriage and just walk in with the baby. >> I can do that, but I I want a professional. So I don't want baby insurance. I So I said I'll leave it on the side. security. >> Hang up right over here. Dumb. >> The center has a policy prohibiting children under 16 and strollers inside. It seems the mother her child outside for 40 to 60 minutes because of this rule. Um, we I was the one that saw when I saw an officer pass, I let him know I was the one that left the officer. >> Did anybody tell you that the baby's going to be left there? >> No. Like at first we thought it was a baby carriage just there cuz you know they didn't want baby carriages or anything and then we looked and they're like, "Oh, there's a kid in there." And then I went and got a like an officer like I we What's it called? >> Just so you know, we got to let you know. >> Yeah, sure. No problem. >> What um about how long was the maybe there? >> We think about 40 minutes to an hour. >> Did you see the mob at any point? Do you know where the mom went or was? >> We saw the woman come in with the baby carriage and I think I saw her like in there at one point, but like I said, I didn't know the baby was in the carriage until I looked at >> Was she coming back and checking on the baby? Did you notice? >> Not that I noticed. >> Do you mind giving my officer your information? >> Yeah, sure. What do you need? I got my sore license, my driver's license. Driving license. No problem. >> Um, let me get that for you. I'm sorry. >> Here you go. I don't know yet. They didn't ask you you guys to watch the baby or nothing like that. >> I mean, I did. >> Can you show me where the baby was? >> The baby was like >> usually when people were coming in, the owner of the show let us know he didn't want anyone under the age of 16 and no baby carriages. So, when people were coming in, I would let them know, "Sorry, ma'am. You can't bring the kid in here. The show has a strict policy against it and a lot of the people like would either stay out here with the kid while like if they were a couple there was a couple the woman went in and the father stayed out here with the kid. There was a couple different things either that or they just left or they talked with the owner of the show. >> Right. Right. >> And what's it called? This woman we thought it was just the empty carriage and someone was watching the baby somewhere else. We It wasn't until we looked at it like, "Oh, there's a kid in there." And then we waited and one one of your officers passed. We're like, "Sir, there's a kid over here." >> Okay. Is there anything else I can help you with? >> I didn't see it falling here, right? >> In my hand. I found it on the floor. I was going to bring it to the loss of town. Is that yours? >> I need to check that. >> Yeah. Okay, good. Somebody just >> Someone Yeah, I just felt it vibrating. No, someone uh just literally handed it to us and said, "Is there a loss of town here?" >> No problem. >> Anthony, you step back. Yeah. >> You have your license on you. >> Sorry. The the reason for me my you have to get my information for >> you were also security guard here. >> No. Yeah. No tracking. >> Pedro you. Um I wanted to let you know >> hang one second. >> I don't me and my grandfather have the same name except for our middle name. I don't know if it said it on my license. my middle name just in case so there's no problems. I'm trying to think of anything so it won't cause you guys problems. >> Uh was do you do your investig anybody coming back looking at the carriage at all? >> I might have seen someone once but I don't know if they were looking at the baby or if it was just someone coming in and out cuz there's a lot of people wearing like black outfits stuff like that.

And he said that he was in the Q- line for 20 minutes cuz they had the ride stone. And um I'm thinking he had to at least leave him alone for more than 20, 30 minutes and then had the 2-year-old and the 4-year-old and the 8-year-old sitting outside by themselves. >> So, where's the witnesses? >> They walked away.

My 8-year-old smiled because at first I thought something she smiled and everything. >> Where are you from? >> From just 45 minutes. We live by bus. >> How many times have you them today to ride rides? >> We did one at the beginning and then whatever time if those two were riding I'd stay. >> This isn't the first time you left the 8-year-old in charge.

So, how many rides did you get on >> with with them? >> Yeah, this one in case was at the beginning for the day, which was around 1:30. My nine-year-old I got right on.
