The young mother faced multiple charges including obstructing official business, failure to comply with a police officer's order or signal, endangering children, driving without a license, and run and assured clear distance ahead. The remaining 15year-old girl was also held accountable, charged with obstructing official business, and their vehicle was impounded. This situation serves as a reminder. Reckless choices can affect not only oneself, but also children and those around them. Every careful decision today contributes to a safer community tomorrow. >> I want to make sure she doesn't ever work in a daycare or any kind of child care facility ever again. >> What caused this woman to become so upset? A situation in Wisconsin highlights challenges and hidden issues in the education sector. On March 14th, 2025, authorities received an emergency report. A daycare teacher acted inappropriately toward a 3-year-old child. Fortunately, a parent witnessed the incident and immediately reported it to the Department of Children and Families, prompting a rapid police response. >> How you doing? >> Doing well. >> So, I'm here regarding an incident that occurred in a couple days ago regarding a teacher. >> Oh, you have a name? >> I don't have a name. They didn't provide anything. We don't have a name on the child. We don't have a name on the teacher. >> Yeah. DCF lady was just here. >> The DCF she did. >> Oh, that'd be great. So, we can give her a call. When we get the product, she should put it here. >> That's her. >> All right. And do you have your information as well? I would like to speak to the teacher. >> She's fired. >> She was fired. >> She was fired. >> Okay. >> I can give you >> her information. Yeah. I want her information. Thank you. >> Did anyone witness the the child? Was there anyone witness? >> Oh yeah. Did you witness it? You see the teacher? >> I didn't. But we do have video and see it. >> Oh, that' be great. >> That would be great. Is a child here today? Oh, nap time. >> Yeah, nap time. >> Okay. Did she suffer? >> The best thing for you to do is call that lady. She should answer your call and get the you can ask our question. I will answer everything, you know. But because you guys work together so often, so she has all the information I seeking. >> And I'm sure you guys share information, too. >> Yeah. But this is a um >> this just a receipt. She's writing up the >> I I know, but the number that she gave you is not her cell phone number that goes to like >> Yeah. As soon as I looked at it, >> she won't give out [clears throat] the cell phone number to us anyway. So really she does her investigation and we do we look at criminal course. Yeah. Let me show you >> the video and then did you get the information for the lady that they fired? >> Yeah. I need to get that. I don't know if we have her phone number sheet like you know where it has all her information. >> Of course. >> Yeah. Let me get you her file so that >> Okay. You want to step in the office? >> Sure. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Better said we don't take those things uh easy at all. >> Were you here that day? >> I was here. I was the one who fight her. I saw the video. I said, "No, she doesn't belong here. I would just fire her." But nobody got she and then let go like a like a rough handling. Uh that's not okay to us. The kid was she kid fall on the ground and he rise up and he just play the rest of day. Uh no no nothing. Nothing. Okay. But that's not okay for us. A teacher should not do this. Uh we we're here to provide love, not to do this. You and I, you probably have kids of age. You have kids. You don't you don't do that. >> I saw the video. I I just let it go. >> Okay. Okay. >> See that boy over there? She's trying to to get the people kids in like in a circle. That's room for improve her her way of handling kids. But she should know better as well. And that kid climb there. I show the DCF lady the same same video and she should just go there, take care of the situation. Kids of that age, they're not very communicative verbally. She throw that not like get her attention. That's enough for us to fire. So she grabbed them by the left arm. >> By the arm and >> left arm. >> It's a normal to have all these kids for one teacher. >> Yeah. The ratio is crazy. Ratio is one >> 1 to 11. Okay. >> Well, actually at that age 1 to 15 because the most of the kids are all most of kids are three and a half and a half one to 16. Uh we don't run the >> I'm guessing she didn't she didn't think it was wrong. >> Did he complain of anyies or did he cry? >> No, this time I mean kids cry all the time but not this time. >> I don't see anyone in the room. How did you guys become aware of it? >> Well, a parent saw it, brought to our attention. >> Yeah. And then our director went there together with uh admin up front. We took her out of classroom immediately. And uh and >> so was a parent in the room. Where was the parent in the room? >> At the door. >> He must have been the guy that I saw walking out. Okay. Okay. The door >> and I need her information. Yeah. >> What did she say after the incident when she was brought in? We did not let her say anything. Uh we took her out. She went to the break room quiet a little and she was near to us. She was very remorseful and we saw the video. This happened on 8:20. >> How was she notified of >> she was by the email? >> Through email. Email. Okay. Did she reply back again? >> She did not. But we I do have the email. I I do have the email. I wrote the email. >> Do you have it? >> Yeah, I do have it. >> Okay. By any chance, do you think I can lay eyes on the sh? >> We definitely can. Um I just want to make sure you know I have to do my end you know make sure you say safe you can um talk to the teacher at the door she either you take you to see >> while verifying the teacher's identity police prioritized the child's safety carefully monitoring every step of the situation instruction I would hate to wake him up but okay you pause right back how you doing >> that's the name of the boy the classroom is uh date of birth >> and this is going to be Mom and dad. >> Mom and dad. Yeah, both are moms. You you you >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Just the the two moms situation. >> Okay. >> Oh, that that's perfect, man. Thank >> because the case directly involved a young child, officers worked closely with the parents to make quick yet sensible decisions, ensuring maximum safety. >> Hello. >> Hello. How you doing, ma'am? Is this um >> uh who's calling? >> This officer with the Noah Police Department. >> Oh, hi. Yes, this is her. >> How you doing, ma'am? >> I'm doing good. Sorry. How about you? >> I'm good. I'm good. Sorry to call you this early, but I just I had a question. Okay. Um and I want to talk to you if you had a chance to speak right now. >> Yes. >> I'm sure you were aware of the situation of the daycare. >> Yes. >> So, I just wanted to ask you, you would like to pursue charges, I guess, a teacher. >> Okay. So, I I would actually like to I want to make sure she doesn't ever work in a daycare or any kind of childcare facility ever again. >> You have a little bit of time just maybe like 5 minutes just if you can explain to me what happened, how you find out, and how it all. a couple days ago. We usually pick him up around 5. So, we got to the daycare. He was in the classroom that day. We heard some stuff going on in the office. Kind of kind of sounded like an investigation and I was like, "Oh, that's strange." Nobody said anything to us about anything. But then we went over to go pick my daughter up from school. She's only like 10 minutes away. And I get a notification on my ProAre app, which is the app connecting the daycare to like us. We can get uptime like details of what's going on throughout the day with the kids. And they had sent through a notification. It says 8:20 in the morning, pulled by arm. Parents were not notified and first aid administered was TLC. The note says, "While climbing on a shelf, pulled him onto the carpet, the teacher was removed from the room." That's how we were notified. We weren't notified about anything else. What exactly happened? And when I read that, I was like, "What the heck?" A parent had seen that whole situation and called DCF about it and that they had removed the teacher from the room, replaced her with somebody else. It was too aggressive for their liking. And then she was fired later on that day. >> Of any injuries at any time? >> He didn't he didn't say anything. You know, he's still not fully, I think, aware of what really happened cuz he's only three. We asked him a little bit. He just said, "Yeah, my teacher by my arm." That was really it. He didn't it didn't seem like it was really bothering him. There was a couple bruises, but I think it could it also could have been just because he's a boy and he's rough, too. I don't know if they were already there, so I didn't really worry about it too much. >> Okay. All right. So, I'm going to document the conversation we had and I'll refer it to the case officer and she'll probably should be reaching out to you tomorrow. Well, you have a good day. Okay. >> All right. Thank you so much for calling. >> Immediately after receiving the report, [music] police visited the teacher's home. Every step was handled carefully yet decisively, explaining basic rights, confirming the details of the report, and completing the necessary procedures. >> Savannah, come here real quick. I'm sure you're aware about what happened the other day, right? Okay. So before I ask you any questions, I got to read this for you. Okay? These are going to be your mirror warnings. Okay? So before we ask you any questions, you must understand your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions and to have him with you. You cannot afford a lawyer. One will be appointed for you before any question. And if you wish, do you understand each of these rights? I have explained to you these rights in mind. Do you wish to talk to us now? >> What happened the day of the child? >> He threw his toy out. So, I went to move him over to the toy to get it. And when I let go of his hel and it looked very awful cuz I even me watching the camera, I'm like, "Yeah, I see it. That looks so awful." But he like also tripped over my foot when he did. >> Were you having were you having like a bad day? Were you frustrated or something cuz of all the kids being around or screaming? >> No, I was good. There's sometimes where I do get frustrated. I just won't I will like back up and don't like or like I won't touch the kid. I'll back up. But I wasn't frustrated at that moment. I just wanted him to pick up before he threw. >> All right, Savannah. So, I want you to understand this, okay? And this is coming from the parents and people above right now. You're under arrest. Okay. >> What? >> You're you're going to be >> But she said I wasn't going to run. Okay. >> Have you been arrested before? Catch your breath. It's not that big of a deal.

Okay. You just got to get booked. >> I don't know. Like I said, it's their business. >> If you have anything with you that you want to leave, is he your husband? >> Boyfriend and is he that? Okay. So, whatever you want to leave with that or boyfriend, you can leave it with them. Okay. >> Going to have to go up to Sharks and Coco, get booked, and then you guys can call and get taken out. >> I know you didn't do nothing. What is the problem? >> It's him. I >> So, I'll talk to you guys in a little bit. So, is there anything that she has on her that you guys would like to keep? Her wallet, phone, being arrested. at the moment they said I wanted the daycare said I wouldn't either. They said it was just a misunderstanding and I had I haven't even talked to DCF. She they said that DCM said it was good that they would just talk to me and I haven't even talked to DCF. >> I hate this. >> It's going to be her first time being arrested. She's probably going to be able to >> but that's on her record and that's her job that she >> and this is coming from a boss. It's coming from a supervisor. >> What I hadn't even talked to me and the ECF told the dayare calls for an arrest. It doesn't mean she's going to >> so she'll still have to go to the court system and they she >> they didn't do this to the lady to the lady at the dayare that >> I wanted her to leave this daycare because they do not protect their teachers and I told her that that I wanted her out. These kids throw >> it wasn't frustrating. >> You should be able to get her out today. >> Yeah, I I got a babys in my back pocket. It's on. >> She's not going to be able to take the piercings.

Um we just write it down on a piece of paper that she can take with her. Okay. I have cash in my pocket. Um, where my wallet was. >> You know what? This is what I'll do for you. I'll take the handcuffs off on that side that we take them off. Okay. >> They all said that she was fine. They sent her This happened on Thursday. Why are they arresting her on Sunday? >> It's a felony. So, it doesn't do anything. Even the digger said it was just a misunderstanding. >> They said it was a misunderstanding. He let her go because he didn't want bad. A parent was walking by the room and she she redirected a child. If I was thinking it, it was apparently. >> Yeah. And it was apparent that it wasn't. >> I can't get that one off. My watch needs to come off. >> Yeah, we'll take it off. Okay, >> I'll take that one off. Okay, >> here. I'll get it. It's all right.

They get written up three or four times a day. >> The teacher was charged with felony child abuse. Under Wisconsin law, she could face 1 to 25 years in prison and be prohibited from working with children. This case serves as a strong reminder every adult action affects children. Ensuring a safe, supportive learning environment is not just a responsibility. It is essential for protecting the next generation. >> Get in there right now. >> And again. Again. Again. Get in there right now. >> It's okay. >> This is not just a case of unsafe driving. It's a story about responsibility, care, and the impact when children face risk due to adult decisions. Police conducted another traffic stop, this time involving a mother driving under influence, and ignoring officer instructions while her daughter was in the car. The situation escalated until officers took precautionary measures, after which the mother began to cooperate. >> Let me see your hands, bro. Why Why are your windows covered like that?

We're going to take a walk back to the ambulance. Okay. >> Although they acted with compassion, the police still upheld the law and completed their duty. The child was handed over to his grandmother. As for the mother, she was taken in an ambulance, not because of V, but because her own past is killing her day by day. >> Will that be okay, Sarah? >> Just real quick, you don't have anything in your pockets. Nothing. >> Oh, no, no, no. >> Just keep your hands out. >> I do have tissue or something. I have a thing in my pocket, but yeah, you can search me. >> Just uh face the car for me.

She's been suicidal suicidal ideations. Um, and she has made a fair amount of references to like in the past. I don't know if it's current, but that's it. >> What's that? >> Sorry, it was a huge cluster. >> Oh, yeah. It's fine. I What are you guys doing with the kids?

So, Sarah, the mother, could not escape prosecution. She was charged with child and reckless driving. Under current Illinois law, each charge carries a maximum penalty of up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. But for someone like Sarah, both an offender and a victim, what would truly be a fair sentence? McDonald's, kids, [music] and cold beer. Three things that should never mix. But in Ohio, they collided in a legal firestorm. >> They got your family moving around here acting crazy with liquor in the car as well with two kids. With three kids in the back seat. November 6th, 2024. Ohio police chased down a speeding car carrying three children.

This is why we acting a little crazy. >> They rushed to McDonald's to retrieve the surveillance footage. What appeared on the screen sent chills down everyone's spine. The two women seemed to be dragging the child. >> Do you guys want to run to McDonald's and see the video and see what transpired with her? Cuz they said we could do child. She dropped the child and obviously she's intoxicated. Something like that. See, we can go from there. >> If you don't mind. >> All right.

We just We were just wanted to look at the camera footage about. Thank you. >> So, we're not really sure what occurred before this other being crazy, but you watch this lady come over and grab this baby. At one point, she pulls the baby and like the baby was like in half. like the neck was back and everything, but the way this baby didn't cry, that baby has to be like three weeks old. The baby didn't cry one time. Something's wrong with that baby. You're like, >> and when they we don't have camera out here, but when they throw that baby in the back of that truck, >> okay, >> I just saw the footage you guys have. >> I mean, I can show you the whole thing back there >> like and they just started acting like >> No. Well, they were on the counter and I was walking back from up the front and they were like, "Nobody's working the counter."

They still shamelessly repeated, "I didn't do nothing." >> Hello. >> What's up, man? My bad for a little panic. It was hard for me to call out with that woman screaming my face. So I pull up and so she blow past me at Frederick like a high rate of speed. I mean you see the tire skip off the the concrete which behind her. She pulls this driveway doesn't live here. Got nothing this house like what's your name? G information blah blah. What's going on? I ain't telling you nothing. It's okay. Let it be red.

I'm just going >> I didn't do nothing. >> Please don't. Okay. Who's that's her children? >> Yes. I was literally taking to McDonald's. I had like $60 on me in my truck. I was going to buy and then something happened and she went crazy and I took the kids off. Like I'm not I promise you guys like I'm not in that. I'm already in the service. I'm not on that. Like I just want to go buy the kids. >> You want to try and get her information? >> I just try to like >> I maybe going to be all right. >> Baby appears to be acting normal. though. >> Yeah, >> the carrier dropped or was it physically dropped? >> From the sound, it sounds like the baby was physically dropped to the ground but then picked back up and then like amazing like she's so intoxicated that like the baby was kind of flopping around just because it's so young. So, I'm not sure but didn't like the light being shining appears to be acting normal. I don't see anything any other issue. >> Yelling didn't work so [music] they switched tactics right away. One pretended to faint from shortness of breath while the other suddenly remembered [music] that car belongs to my husband. Two women slick enough to have the entire police unit spinning in circles. But the moment children are involved, no trick can stand up to the law. >> I'll loosen them up, but you going to swing your back. >> You need to loosen them just a little bit. >> Stop grabbing. Stop grabbing. Stop grabbing. Release your hands. Stop spinning your hands. Just release them. Can't breathe, bro. >> Stop moving. >> I can't breathe, bro. Give me water or something, please.

I mean, >> I don't care. I'm going to pass. >> Oh, yeah. Cuz you're hyperventilating. Not anything wrong with you. >> There's definitely something in that truck as she keeps saying, "That's not my truck. That's my husband's truck." So, there's definitely something in his truck. David. I'm not doing the >> do what? >> You searching David H. That's David H. >> Do you not read the license plate? >> It don't matter. >> That's my husband. Yes, she was in the car. >> I'm not and she's under arrest. >> Clearly. >> Clearly. >> The ice cold open Corona bottle was undeniable [music] proof. Yet, they kept making excuses and blaming each other. It got to the point where the officer, clearly fed up, said, "I almost pulled my taser because of being so sick of their antics." >> Well, right now, now you are under arrest for an open container in a motor vehicle. >> I did not do nothing. I was not driving. >> You're in the passenger seat with an open container. That's not an OVI. It's open container in a motor vehicle. >> What do you mean? How How can you prove that? >> It's in the passenger door. >> It's in the passenger door. >> Bro, that's not my All right, let me get the evidence then because you know what? >> That's fine.

So it won't be till at least tomorrow. >> You have no REASON TO ARREST ME LEGALLY. Listen to you. You sound dumb as >> You ever hear the rap? Cuz we have a thing called the rap. I'm trying to get this out of my like look. It's literally my Look, >> I had him loose enough. >> Look, >> at one point in time, >> dude, I'm I'm skinny. I'm anemic. I didn't do nothing. I didn't do nothing. I promise that's not me. >> I didn't say it was. >> I was going to say that's not me. Don't look at me like that. >> Okay, go ahead. Step out. >> Like, that's not me.

If you didn't have a license, yes, you were driving reckless with that car and the kids in the car. >> We could have figured something else out versus the way you were acting. When you trying to go back in that vehicle after I ask you for your information, you like, "No, I ain't giving you nothing." That to me was a complete problem. I don't know what you have in that car. I understand you got kids in that car, but like you, I want to go home and see my family at night. That tune was a no. When we start acting pulling away like that, >> I was tempted to tase you, but I would didn't. It shouldn't have gone that far. So, I put you in those cups and put you in the back of this car. I got your family moving around here acting crazy with liquor in the car as well with two kids with three kids in the back seat, which Man, that's crazy. >> I got in the car. But you could have just stayed there. >> Just you just ma'am. You should have just stayed there. >> Yes, the kids are gone. Kids went down to the hospital. >> All right. One step out now. Hold on one second. I really left my leg is really hurting. I got bit by that one. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. You guys are really taking this boat.

You might be a muscle. >> You need to stop moving so we take the piss off. >> Ain't nobody ask me. You getting hand rest. >> Hold up. Wait a minute. I can face my direction, but my hand is hurting. I've been trying to do this. >> Well, then stop moving it so I can take it off. >> I'M LITERALLY TRYING to move my wrist so I can I'm anemic. >> No, obviously. I'm trying NOT TO, BUT OW. >> STOP.

Cuz you're not. >> The scene got more chaotic as both were taken away. One was screaming while the other wanted to beat up her [music] friend for driving like a maniac and getting them caught. It's almost laughable. With no way out, they turned on each other like they were never close. >> All right, come on out. >> Yeah, I will. As soon as you step out, walk over here. Okay. >> Don't put me in the car where I'm still on that. >> No, you're going to be in a different compartment here. You're going to be I'm going to switch this out on you.

LET'S JUST OPEN THE DOOR. >> They sure know how to cause a scene, even inside a police station. But there's one thing they still don't seem to get. Driving drunk with a baby in the car is putting that child in panic and lasting emotional that won't be easy to heal. Knew she couldn't drive. Of course, I'm going to drive. You're drunk.
