[music] The items in the cart don't seem to have been checked out yet. On January 14th, 2023, Target staff reported that a mother had allegedly used her children and a cart to hide various snacks while also encouraging them to pick up nearly $300 worth of items. Authorities quickly arrived and found the mother and her children in the parking lot with three carts filled to the top. >> I go back inside, >> huh? >> Let's all go back inside.

The situation became more concerning when it was revealed that [music] the mother had previously been involved in a similar issue at this same store for which she received community [music] supervision.

You have anything in your pocket? Okay. teleport's already done. >> It's done. Oh, that's um >> and then >> previously the mother had been charged with grand theft [music] and received 5 months of probation. But just one month later, she repeated the same behavior with about $500 worth of merchandise. In your opinion, what kind of consequence would be appropriate [music] this time? Fair yet strong enough to prevent the same situation from happening again? Just one unlocked door allowed a 2-year-old to end up in an unsafe spot under a car. And this incident makes every parent rethink how to keep their child safe. >> I just started beling for that direction. And she was had already she had already gotten run off. She's on the ground in the road, man. >> On March 21st, 2025, authorities were called to a situation where a vehicle unintentionally made contact with a 2-year-old. The driver said she glanced down for a second to check her speed. And when she looked [music] up, the child had moved into the street, giving her no time to react. This raised a key question. Who holds more responsibility? The driver or the parents? I didn't know what I was doing. Her feet got ran over. >> Her feet got ran [screaming] over. >> Yes. Okay. >> We were just about to take [crying] her. Give me one second. Can call for her. You say EMS is in. >> Yep. I got it. >> I'm just trying to keep her make sure. >> Did she get or just over her feet? >> Uh, you'll have to ask this lady. >> Okay. >> Did you see it? >> Went under the vehicle. >> She went under the vehicle. >> So, she like boom. She got her head. I was just eat my move around. >> You saw it all happen. >> Yeah. >> Can you stand by for me? >> Yeah, that's right. >> Literally just moving my garbage can. [screaming] Hi. >> What's your name? >> So, what happened? >> I was driving in this lane. >> Mhm. >> And she was I slammed on my brakes. She was in the road. I didn't see her until it was the last last minute. >> She like she came out into the road. >> She was in the road. She was in the road almost in the middle line. >> I got you. Do you have your driver's license on you? >> Yes. I got to get it. >> Okay. Just you. It's okay. You can just stay here. I'll just get your information from you again. Did it happen up there? I assume. >> Huh? >> It happened right up there. >> Happened right here in front of my house. >> She must have She must have come out here and beline to the road. I don't know. I was just my garbage cans and all of a sudden my she said, "Oh my god." Started running. I was just >> She was in the road. >> She was in the road. >> Okay. How How do you know how fast you were going? >> I had just looked down because I knew that I was changing. I was going 37. Was going down from 38 to 37, I think. Then when I looked up, that's where she she was in the road. I'm so sorry. >> No, it's okay. It's It was an accident. >> Oh my god. >> Was anybody else in the car with you? >> No, I'm just coming home from work. >> Okay. Okay. They're going to take care of her. If she saves, who knows what's going to happen. So, >> how do I know? I don't think I can live with myself. >> She's crying and from the be from what I saw. >> I have three kids at home right now. >> Is there anybody that can come? >> My husband's coming right now. I called him. I don't know what to do. >> It's okay. Just breathe. I just need you to breathe. Okay. >> I don't know what to do. I can't I can't. >> It's okay. And she just came out and you were paying attention to the road. >> Yes. I was just I checked my speed cuz I knew it was changing and I was going home. I don't ever want to do >> I know. I know. It's going to be okay. How's the child? I hear crying. That's good. Sorry. [laughter] It's gonna be okay. Okay. >> I can't do I can't >> I know it's going to be okay. Take some breaths. [laughter] Take some breaths. He's got questions. You got to answer. >> I looked down for one second cuz I knew the speed was changing right here and I was going to get over. And when I looked up, she was in the road. >> After gathering statements from the driver and witnesses, authorities focused on the parents supervision as a brief lapse led to the incident. >> Just my body came out. Tell me what happened. >> Well, we were sitting there and she knows she had the car and then the back. So, like she got hit. >> The witness was saying she got hit on the front end and then the back tires went over as well. >> Okay. Take a breath out there. Is it okay? I can't do this. >> You're okay. Hey. Hey. >> No. You don't understand. >> I know. I know. We'll work out that later. Okay. We'll worry about driving later. That is not the priority right now. >> I don't care about that. >> I don't think I can live with myself. >> You're fine. >> There's crying. That is a good sign. >> I just know. >> Hey, I need mom and I leave. If mom can get in the truck. Hold on. >> Just go. We'll get her there. Just >> go in. Yeah. Okay. sitting here 5 minutes waiting. >> I looked up and there she was. >> Just hang out here, please. >> Pull that insurance up for me. >> In my opinion, there's like two ways. You can take this. You're going to need a number for sure. >> Yeah. >> Um so I would side her to reduce speed, prevent an accident, just cover your bases cuz if all this, you know, if the child or something, you know, I don't think it was her fault. She said she was looking down to look at her speed as she was changing her speed. The speed on her shoulder and then the baby. >> Yeah. They said they were eating at double D's. They watched the whole thing happen. She said the kid just ran out front of the car and then the back tires went through the kid. I I mean I don't think you have to cider. I mean there's no way she could stop in time if that's what what happened. I mean I would still ride it up. >> I'm going to do it with her obviously but >> if anything I'm thinking like on their end they're saying they don't know where the dad was. The kid ran out. It's a 2-year-old child next to a busy road. >> I didn't get a chance to ask the dad where he was, so I'm probably going to have to do a go follow up. >> Yeah, I can go question him if you want. >> I I can go. >> Mom was inside sleeping. She didn't see anything. I got her info. I got mom's info. I got kids info. >> Was anyone out here with the kid? >> That's what we're trying to figure out. >> Dad was somewhere, but the witnesses don't know where he was at. >> 104. >> Yeah. Unfortunately, I would do a crash report and the um at least the aformational report in the life of a child cuz if we can't figure out if the kid was supervised or not, that's a problem. >> Yeah. A 2-year-old next to a busy road like this is like >> you can't. >> I'm so sorry. Can you please tell them I am so sorry? >> So, I'm going to go I'm going to go to the hospital. I'm going to do a follow-up. I got to talk to the dad cuz I got to know what was going on here before anything happened. >> I did not see her until she was in the road. Are you okay to even drive? >> I don't want to drive ever again in my life. >> You got to health and welfare of a child and raise his legs. >> So, I'm going to go take some photos of the front of the vehicle just in case. And then uh we'll probably be good from there. Okay. >> Yeah. >> And he's going to be able to drive. Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. Give me a second. I thought >> by the way it sounded I thought it was going to be in the parking lot. >> Yeah. But >> man, speed's here. >> Hopefully the kid is okay. Hopefully. 53. >> We're not severely. >> The fact that the child was alert and responsive was seen as a reassuring sign in such a concerning moment. >> All I know about the baby. >> She don't care if she's alive. I don't think you got to worry about it. It'd be It'd be worse if she wasn't crying. >> That's what I'm telling you. Like crying is a great sign. >> I'm pretty sure she got up, but I can't I can't remember. >> She was moving her limbs and moving around, so I'm sure she appreciate that. Thank you. >> Thanks, guys. Yeah. >> At the hospital, the father admitted he lost track of the child, though the child had only minor effects and no serious issues. He was ordered to appear in court while the driver was not charged. >> Anything else, man? I got to go there now. >> Yeah. Try to get to dad quick before he makes up some [ __ ] about what he was doing because of he was just around and not even paying attention, you know. >> Yep. >> All right, man. Let me know if you know, buddy. Yep. >> Okay. >> All right. Let me get some information from you. Yeah, I know the other officer got it already, but what's what's your first name? >> Frederick. >> Um, all right. So, tell me what was going on when all this happened. >> Oh, man. I you know, and every other time I leave my house because of where we live, I generally uh [snorts] lock my door. I didn't lock my door, but I went to go grab my garbage cans. Um, I grabbed them and uh kind of clean up around there. Mom was right there in on the couch. >> What was mom doing? asleep or watch TV, watching Tik Tok. >> I think she was just watching TV. >> Okay. >> And then all of a sudden, my nephew, she was outside with me and all of a sudden we said, "Stop. Stop." We started screaming and I just started beling for that direction and she was had already she had already gotten run over. She was on the ground in the road, man. >> Okay. All right. So So you left the door. >> Thank you. I appreciate >> So you left the door unlocked, went out. to do to take care of the trash cans. >> Yeah, the garbage cans. And back by my driveway, I was just kind of getting the situating some stuff, you know. I didn't think there was any kind of man. >> Yeah. So, mom was on the couch. Is the the couch in the living room at the front door? >> It's probably >> like basically 10 ft from you. >> 10 ft from the door. Yeah. There's like an entryway and then stairwell and then our couch. >> Okay, I got you. And then do you guys normally lock that door? And you know we our biggest fear is that what had happened you know and I mean so yeah we do we generally I don't know >> I was thinking >> so I feel terrible dude. >> Yep. Okay. Have they said anything about what's going on in there? >> Thank god there's no no u lung trauma that we're aware of. She's crying obviously. >> Yeah. She had lung issues. She wouldn't be doing that. She's got lungs >> and she's moving her limbs like so like her foot her feet that got ran over. You could tell something. I don't know. I don't know if she got ran over or she just getting on the ground or what. She's black and blue on her feet, but she's moving nonetheless. So, thank God that that's the case. Just with with the nature of this incident, I do have to issue a court date for the life and life of a child. Just leaving that door open. The state's attorney could throw it out based on your guys' statements. Um, but I have to I I really do just based off everything you told me that the door wasn't secure. Mom wasn't watching. You weren't watching the child. So, I just I'm gonna issue a notice to appear. So, it is technically an arrest. You're not going to jail. Obviously, I'm not taking you to jail from your from your daughter. So, you have a court date of April 24th at 9:30 at Caswell County, which is in Beacon. And I'm just going to have you sign this and I'm going to give you a copy. Okay. All right. >> The father was charged with an during [music] the life of a child. Under Illinois law, this could result in up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $2,500. Parents and caregivers must always prioritize a child's safety because even a moment of inattention can lead to outcomes no one expects. >> And you can hear your son's yelling and it's not like it's not like a a cry for help or like like it's like distress. >> Yeah. >> These were parents who placed their full trust in a home daycare only to end up bringing their concerns to the police department to file a report. On March 3rd, 2025, Mount Laurel police received information about children showing signs of improper care at a homebased daycare. Officers quickly arrived and found that one of the children needed prompt medical evaluation. The caregivers's actions were also recorded on surveillance cameras. >> Hello. >> Hi, Ingram. Yeah. Abraham. >> What was that? >> Abraham. >> I'm a detective detective with county crossers office. >> Okay. >> Obviously, we're investigating a situation. >> I heard about it. >> We were just wondering if you would be willing to come down to our station. >> I have kids.

I think it has to be feel like it's just opposite way here. 36 225. >> We'll be going to room 14. >> Okay. the second time he did that. The caregiver appeared very anxious about whether she needed a lawyer. Police explained her rights and clarified that requesting legal assistance doesn't mean she's guilty or being treated unfairly. >> Sorry, I just called parents for Marco and Blake who are watching today. Moms are coming to pick up and my husband is on his way home. So, >> and you just wanted to clarify, you asked us if you needed an attorney. Did you want an attorney present while you speak with us? >> I'm not being asked, but like >> you're right. I I mean >> Yeah. I'm not saying either way is better or worse or whatever. >> I don't have an attorney, but like do I need to get one? Like that's my >> that's your decision.

Okay. >> At the police station, the parents provided more details about the marks they noticed on the child around the eyes. under the arms and on the back which increased the seriousness of the situation. >> Okay, I'm sorry that took so long. Um, here is this and then I made a copy of that. Um, so I mean obviously I'm going to do a report. Um, oh, and then I also spoke to the >> Yes, she just the prosecutor. >> Oh, the prosecutor. >> Um, I got to grab her card. Um, cuz I made a copy of that. So, I mean, she said they're going through with their investigation, too. I don't know if she told you that. >> I mean, told you that. >> And then you said, All right. So, you said you wanted to do a restraining order against her. >> That's what they told me to do. I've never been in this situation before. I don't know what any of this means, but I don't want her to ever be able to contact me or my family or any like get in like I never want >> I understand. So, just whatever we can do to do to protect you and your child. No, I I got you. [snorts] >> I'm sorry. I'm just going to run through a couple things here. >> Um, so on his back, correct? >> And then the prosecutor said it looked like it was both hands, like somebody >> Yes. So, the ones that I saw that were the most prominent was on his I don't even remember at this point to my back, his left side. >> There are four perfect like four fingernails and then he has that where would be. >> Yep. She said there was redness under the armpits. Uh >> um >> and then the left armpit turned into a and then the left eye left eye turned into a as well. >> Okay. >> [groaning] >> All right. Um, I'm just going to speak with another officer and then >> uh Okay. Um, I'm going to speak with another officer. Just trying to clarify anywhere else >> since you do want to do a restraining order. And then did you want to file charges against her here? I don't I mean I Yes. I don't I don't know what any of it means. I just >> No, I got you. So, just based off like I'll be honest and like don't think I'm not saying it didn't happen or saying it did happen based off the video. Like there's nothing there's no like physical things that we can see, but I spoke with the prosecutor and you can hear your son's yelling and it's not like it's not like a a cry for help or like like it's like distress. >> Yeah. It's >> No, I I'm sure. Yeah. >> Yep. >> So, >> yeah, she's perfectly out of the camera view. >> He's like gasping for air. >> Yeah, she said. And I I'll be honest, I didn't like I skimmed through the video just to try and get a general idea and it's going to get passed off to our detectives anyway, so they're going to I mean, second for a second go through it. Um, and then she also said there was uh some point it sounded like he wasing or something like that. Yeah. >> Throughout the process, officers guided the parents through the complaint procedure and how to request a no contact order. >> So, I'm just going to speak with another officer for now and just kind of clarify everything. And um for the if you want to do a complaint against her, a little bit of how that process is going to go is I'll have to give you a complaint packet. You also don't have to do it tonight if you don't want to. I can still provide you with that packet. you can come in tomorrow, the day after, cuz I'm still, like I said, I'm still making a report. Um, but what that packet does is essentially, and this occurred, when did this uh incident occur? It was yesterday. Okay. So, what that packet is going to ask is just um some general information like your info. Uh the um for like most, you know, it's it doesn't have to be everything. And then it'll ask for a statement of what the incident is that occurred. So you'll just outline that um in a statement and I can provide you with extra sheets if you need. It is a bit of a lengthy process like it's going to take I mean anywhere like 2 hours is probably the minimum >> and then uh restraining order on top of that is about the same time. >> So let me speak to him at least. I mean, it's it's up to you what you want to do. If you have the time to do it tonight, that's completely fine. If you want to sit on it, if you have more time tomorrow or another day, it works out better for you. You can come back in and I can even provide that paperwork for you now if you want. So that way you can fill it out at home and just bring it in. It just speeds up the process a little bit. >> Do that just because I'd like to come back with my husband. Yeah, we're doing everything together and on the same page. >> And what what's uh his name? Um, yeah. So, let me just speak with another officer for now because we can we can at least try and do the restrain order tonight if you want to do that. Is Yeah. Okay. >> A quick question for you. So, with the prosecutor's office handling one side of things too, I guess what is the difference of that and us what we're doing tonight in terms of filing charges and restraining orders and such. for our charges. I mean, it's I'm going to redact some of my statements now. >> Um because I I didn't think about what she said. Since they're investigating the case, they'll do the charges for you cuz if I do it, it's going to be the same thing. It's going to end up in the same place. Okay. >> So, yeah, essentially, I would do the complaint and then it gets sent to the prosecutor for review. >> So, considering So, like all of the charges will go through. >> Yeah. Everything's going to go to the prosecutor's office eventually. Yeah. >> Um, so if you start here, it's going to get sent up to the prosecutor's office for review. If I mean, since the prosecutor's office already said they're going to be investigating the case, they're most likely going to be doing the charges. I'm just going to confirm that with another person. That way, I'm not like telling you guys the wrong thing. >> Yeah, that's some Yeah, I >> No, I appreciate it. >> They just told me to come here and make a police report. And >> No, believe me, I understand. It's a lot. >> I don't know what I'm doing. >> I I got you. And I mean, to be honest, it's a learning experience for both of us. This isn't like something >> unfortunately that people come in with every day. >> Um, but when they do, obviously, we want to help you uh in every way we can. >> Okay. So, let me just talk to them about uh the restraining order process and then I'll be right back with you.

I'm the one getting charged and they're getting because you're the adult. >> When I just got Why would your children be charged when you're the adult and you're responsible? >> When the other cop just sat there and said he was going to give me a break. >> We just watched the video. >> I know myself and Corporal Quint. The cop in there, he even said the video. >> The full video wasn't done at We're past that. Like I said, >> the video that we just watched, you're deliberately putting the stuff in the bag and y'all are all walking to the front and then you stop. You start walking and they follow you right behind >> and I was talking to them, tell them not to do it, but I didn't have the money for it. >> Why didn't you stop him or tell him to go back inside? Lost Prevention had to come out and stop him. >> Lost Prevention was right at the door with them. >> So why didn't you stop? Say, "Hey, no, I told him not to." >> He walked back up and was banging on the door to try to talk to him. Like I said, video start working this way. >> My wound is cutting into my leg. >> It's cuz you keep turning it. We'll fix it in a second. >> It's fine. Don't worry about it. >> Spread your feet and lean against the car. >> I thought it's fine. Don't worry about it. >> Okay. Spread your feet and lean against the car. >> I am up against the car. How much more you want me against it? >> You on probation right now from the DUI arrest? >> No, I'm out on bond. >> You're out on bond? Okay. So, is this a violation? Stop turning your wrist. Turn it the other way. Just let the jail know she is out on bond for the other charge. Probably going to get revoked and you're okay with that lady taking the kids, right? >> What's concerning is that the children kept defending their mother, showing they didn't fully understand [music] the situation. >> Um, so just kind of like basic rundown of like what's going on. I was out on the DUI arrest from last time. So cuz I that's why I know who you are with them. Like I know they've you know all that. >> My daughter this time around. >> I mean ba basically it's pretty cut and dried. They're all inside. She's holding one of the items that was stolen. >> Mhm. >> Puts it in one of the kids' bags and then they all proceed to the front. Again, we don't have audio. Obviously, we're going based off of what's on the video. But obviously, when you see her put the stuff in the kids bag and then walk out, the kids walk out and she's like, "Oh, but I told him not to steal it, so she knew it was in there." And then she doesn't come back and say, "Hey, no, don't stay inside." >> I get it. >> I It's right. Is she out on bond or is she on probation for the DUI? She was out on bond. She was supposed to have court. I think it was yesterday or the day before. She got in there. From what she's told me, they dropped the felony charge. >> I think it just dropped a DUI or like a reckless or something. >> The day before for the felony charge for the child and then she went and tried to figure out her next court date. They don't even know her next court date. So, I don't know whether that DUI was dropped. I don't know any other information than that from what I've received from her. >> Okay. >> We've been How many times have I seen you now? >> Twice. But it's my fault this one. >> Hey, listen. What's your name again? We've been here so many times and I get you're trying to protect your mom, >> but that one's actually >> out. Hear me out because I have my cash and all I want to have money. >> I know you're trying to protect your mom, but it's wrong. She needs as as your parent, she needs to look out for you. Look, Ashley, you cannot continue to protect her decisions. The choices she makes is the choices she makes. Okay? I want to see you do better. I've seen you more than enough times in situations that you should not be in. Look, So, I'm not I don't have to do nothing because Okay, thank God. >> How did they get here? >> The van. >> Okay, cuz she has suspended license, too, and she knows that. I just wanted to at least talk to you and give you an idea. That's kind of what's going on. So, >> would you want me to go ahead and take the van? Would you rather it sit here until tomorrow? >> That's up to her. It's her van, and that's up to Target. If Target's okay with it staying overnight until someone can get it? >> I can take it. Like, that don't bother me. >> Okay. Will you take her uh to go ask her if she wants her to take the van out of here and all that? Sure. >> So, you're okay with her taking her kids in the car? >> All righty, we'll do >> Huh? >> Is she good with taking the van? >> Yeah. Yeah, they're fine with that. Kids in the van. >> What do you have for the citation? >> Subject selected a blanket bag. >> Mom placed the blanket inside presumed to be mom. That's why I put in there. >> Yeah, but I said that he Well, but mom placed the blanket inside of a red bag they entered the store with. They moved towards the front. Mother exited the juveniles. >> Yeah. So, mom puts it in the bag and then they all [ __ ] and they all leave. Okay. >> Did you watch the whole video? >> He only showed me them walking [ __ ] out. That's why I said you want to pursue charges on the juvenile when I was in there. >> Yeah. So, just make just just make just make sure when you're reading statements that they provide and you see if you see something like that, like if mom is placing stuff inside the >> like I said, I went off this young male. >> I I know. I know. I'm saying, but if that's what he's putting in here, you got to watch the whole video because if you're just watching them leaving, but he's saying that mom put it in there. Like, it's just I mean, dude, I'm not like I said, I get it. You know, it's juveniles, but mom literally puts it in the bag >> and then it's like they all direct towards the front and leave. >> We got to take a deep breath. >> Can't be going off. Look, can't be can't be home. >> I know you're going to go home, but you can't be flying off the rocker right now. >> Can we go home? >> You can go home. You guys are free to go. You guys are good to go. >> We're good to go. >> Yeah, you're fine. I'm not going to get a >> No, you're perfectly fine to go. Okay. >> You got everything? >> Mhm. Yeah. >> Is that all they need? >> Yeah, they're in the trespasses. I just need to get them. They're somewhere in >> I will. I have to >> come the on this [ __ ] [clears throat] >> The mother was charged with petty theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Under Florida law, she could face more than a year in jail and about $1,500 in fines. Adult responsibility, proper supervision, and positive guidance are essential in helping children make safe [music] choices. With education, understanding, and a supportive environment, children can grow safely and in the right direction. Just wait until you see the childhood paradise filled with roaches, human waste, and in Florida. >> 10,000 hazards in that room while she's passed out. They could stick a car in their mouth. You know how kids are. They stick everything in their mouth, swallow it out on the floor while she's sleeping. On April 22nd, 2022, somewhere in Florida, three innocent children, one just 7 days old, cried out in a so-called childhood paradise overflowing with trash, roaches, human feces, [music] and a buffet of 10,000 tiny hazards. And their mother, she was asleep on the floor, ignoring both the cries of her children and the knocking of police at the door. Is that someone passed out on ground right there? Let me check the back real quick. Cool. What's up, BUDDY? >> HI. >> HI. [screaming] got to go. >> Okay. Your is it your hidden right behind you here? >> Yep. They already agreed to take them over there. All three of the kids, >> but just the kids. >> Okay. Do you have formula for the baby? >> We have a little We have enough for that. >> Mom, we grab that formula. I need that. >> If they need more, they can get some more. Just kind of mimic what you guys give them. Okay. But I need to grab all three kids, take them over there. I'm I have some paperwork here that I'm hoping you and your your spouse or girlfriend, whatever, will sign because this just makes it easier. >> Yeah. >> For all of us if we work together. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? If you can grab her, have her come outside, grab the children come outside and then we can go over the paperwork and then go from there. >> Fair enough. All right, brother. >> They're playing. The mother Christina replied when asked about the blood curdling screams coming from the apartment. Yes. [music] According to her, the sounds that shocked the entire neighborhood were just kids having fun. >> Is that your ball? Is that your ball? >> Police. >> Sheriff's office. >> Hello. >> Are you here looking for something? >> Yeah, you. Yeah. >> Yeah. Are you the mother of these children here? >> Yeah. What's up? >> They just They've been screaming and crying. >> Yeah, they're playing. They have the windows open. That's what they do. >> They're not playing, ma'am. >> He looks like he needs some juice or something. He's showing me his cup. Yeah, I was just about to go get them. >> Okay. Well, we're getting complaints. They feel like there's uh children in distress over there. >> Yeah, they and they they um they're very loud and they scream a lot. >> Yeah, it's called a kid. >> Yeah, they scream a lot and they're very um >> How old are they? >> Uh almost two and three. They're very very >> Is anybody supervising them? >> Yeah, I was just in there. Like I was just in there getting them stuffed. >> Mhm. >> I have my other daughter in the office. So, there's like 10,000 hazards in there that they're locked in that room and nobody's in there supervising them as they're screaming for the whole neighborhood to call us. >> That brighten our eyes. >> And this apparently has not been the first time from all your neighbors calling in saying that they hear this multiple times throughout the week. Do you have an ID with you? >> It's in my room. I don't know. >> Can we go get it? >> I think it's in my >> You look like you've been asleep. No barely days I've been in the hospital. >> Can you take it out for me, please? >> Are you the only one here? >> Yeah, I'm supposed to be alone with the kids right now after my surgery. >> Are they both your children? >> Yes. But what's even more disturbing is the mother's [music] cold excuse. It's safe for the children in a place that could destroy both the body and soul of a child. She still tried to paint as normal. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> When was the last time you even changed their diapers? As it's sagging there, probably full. >> They had a ton of juice and it was probably an hour and a half ago that I changed their diapers. >> Does this seem to be a safe environment for your children? >> Yeah, it is completely safe. It's just they're very very loud and vocal. >> And since both of the windows are open, >> this is a safe environment. Huh. >> We're still cleaning it out. Their uncles and aunt just left and they trashed the place. So >> I'm not enthused so far to be honest with you. >> Never mind. It's been a very very >> well it looks like I mean by the way it looked outside like I mean this took a while to build up. >> Yeah. >> Go ahead. >> I don't every single day. Is that their room? >> And that's their play area. >> Do they have beds to sleep on? >> Yeah, they have cops in there. They fold them up when they play. >> Do you have food? >> Yes. >> Do they have bedding? I see cops. I don't even see bedding. >> That's their That's what the cops are. That is their bedding. I've already >> They have sheets, pillows, blankets. >> They have pillows. They have blankets in there. I could go in and I clean it every single day and they take all of the toys out of the toys bin and they do that. >> When was the last time you had a drink? >> 10 minutes ago. >> He goes through juice like it's nothing. Like I mean I literally go through gallons of juice in two days. >> What do you have that's hold on that screen and besides tape? >> Just the tape. US 1000 coming up >> looks like a silver >> because there's no air. >> There's no air circulation in that room and it gets really hot. >> So when he pushes that screen out and comes into this then what? >> Oh, sorry. >> Or just gets out and runs around in the neighborhood. >> Our grandmother is living right next door. >> You think your mom your grandmother's looking out for a three-year-old, 5-year-old running around at 11 p.m.? >> No. I really Sorry. Can I see the inside of your house, please? >> Roaches, mold, [music] human feces, and rotten food make the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, parasites, and illnesses like diarrhea, pneumonia, and stomach pain. For children living in that environment, the chance of eating properly and staying healthy is almost zero. >> So, what happens now? >> I don't know. I have the windows open. A little hot. >> Are there screens on the windows? >> Yes. >> Okay. I don't see any screens out there. >> There are screens on the windows, but they also have them tap so they can push the screen out. >> Sometimes. >> So, there's screens out there right now then? >> Yes. >> All right. So, >> like we've been trying and trying and trying to clean this place up. When we moved in, it was a complete total utter disaster. >> Well, how long did you move in though? >> I was back for a couple months. Like, >> his brother and >> do not set that example for your sister. >> All right. So, if we can get car seats, bring them out with me and then we'll all go outside. You guys can help me get them loaded up and stuff and then from there can move forward. >> All right. I can help carry a car seat. Which one would you like me to grab, sir? Oh, >> you're in the car. All right. When you bring uh is that Lily? Come on outside with Lily then. Okay. >> Syringes, bongs, grinders, and were scattered across the children's room like items in a display [music] case. Yet, the stepfather casually said, "I don't know who opened the bag." As if that mess was [music] just an innocent accident. So, if I walked up to that window where they're sitting out there talking to complete strangers that they don't really recognize as law enforcement, pull that screen off and take that kid through that window. How are you going to know? >> I'd see it. >> You'd see it while you're at work. >> Not while I'm at work, but why she's here? >> Well, she's here sleeping. >> I have no way to connect to it because we don't have internet. If I had internet, >> but you see what I'm saying? >> Yeah. >> 10,000 hazards in that room while she's passed out. They could stick a car in their mouth. You know how kids are. They stick everything in their mouth. Swallow it out on the floor while she's sleeping. He's banging on the door. That obviously is not enough to wake her up. And he she glances over at the camera, sees her on the ground think, "Oh, she's sleeping." Next thing you know, your kids. >> Yeah. >> You see where we're getting at? >> Yes, sir. >> Because right now, I have enough to take you all to jail. >> Yes, sir. >> For felonies. >> I completely understand. >> DCF is coming out tonight. >> Okay. >> They're going to inspect what we've seen >> and we're going to figure out a plan from there. >> All right. >> How often do you work? >> I work five uh five nights a week. I'm off Mondays and Thursdays. >> What times? >> What times I work? >> Yeah. Uh, I work 5 to anywhere between >> 5:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. >> Yeah. Anywhere from 5:00 p.m. to almost 3:00 a.m. sometimes. >> What does she do for work? >> She is currently unemployed. She just after having a baby, she had surgery. >> Who's all the stuff in there? >> The what? >> Bongs, the masks, the smoking bong masks that's in your car, the pipes, the grinders, the leads. >> They're my ants. >> How come they're laying out on the floor where anybody can access them? I didn't realize my bag had been opened. I usually >> we have a problem with that, too. I mean, you got I mean, you're adult. You can make your own decisions, but the children, >> they don't know what they're putting in their mouth. >> They're within the reach of the children. >> Yes, I understand. >> It's covered in cockroach droppings. I don't know if that's my droppings or not. I'm not a professional on it. You know, she's sleeping. If they're hungry, that's what they're begging for was food in the room. What do you think they're going to start eating? >> You know what's poisonous and toxic? that's on the ground that the cockroaches are running all over. They're going to go if they're hungry, they're going to put it back in their mouth. There's cookies, pretzels, everything's just laying all over the ground. >> Yes, sir. >> What we're getting at is this is an unacceptable environment and it'sful to your children and we don't know if you're going to be charged at this time. >> Okay. >> We're waiting on DCF. They'll conduct their investigation. >> Um, >> they continue [snorts] to blame it, this time on some mysterious animal. Maybe they thought the cops were children, too, to believe such a ridiculous excuse. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's a good point. But there's another can bigger than that one that's filled with all this in the bedroom. How come there's just piles of trash? >> We usually we sit it out front, but lately the cats are raccoons and we get to it. And that's what happens out here. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. P. I live with raccoons, too. They don't do that and that and that and that. That's not a raccoon. That would might be a bear. That's not a raccoon. That by the door, that's not a raccoon. And then we can tell you there was a raccoon the size of a damn bear cub sitting out here last night. >> Want to know why? Cuz he's eating all your food. Cuz you're just setting it like this. >> Yeah. >> It wouldn't come around if you didn't have all this trash and food and dirty diapers. >> I've had raccoons going through my trash, too. And yeah, it it makes a little pile maybe like that, maybe a little bit smaller, but it doesn't do that. It doesn't do what's by your front door right next to the window that's being held in by duct tape that they could easily push out. Who's in charge of changing their diapers? >> Oh, when I'm not home, it's her. >> When I'm here, it's between a girl. >> Uncle, it looks like they haven't been changed in days. >> Been changed in days. >> They're basically dragging on the ground as they walk around. >> And she's told you they drank a lot. I'm telling >> it's not It's full of feces. I looked >> full of feces. >> Yes, it's coming out the sides. Bulging out the sides. >> Tears [snorts] started falling. The mother began to panic. In the end, police had to make the harshest decision of all, separating her from her own children. Because of her laziness and reckless lifestyle, she buried her chance at motherhood and turned [music] her children's pain into the cost of her own. [laughter] >> Do what? Stand by the trailer. >> Oh, door's closed. >> And what a kid. >> Oh. Oh, god damn. >> That's my partner. Can you use mine? >> Yeah, you have to. >> Just hang out. >> Just hang out over [laughter] here, >> man. [crying] Down. Okay. >> Stay out here. >> Okay. Got the bag meter. >> You want to get going, man? This >> has everything in it that I need for that. >> No, she needs clothes. >> I can bring them. >> Go get some tomorrow. We'll bring those. Are you good, sir? >> Yeah. >> You want to? >> You guys need anything else for me? Okay. Um, I'm going to turn around and come back this way. Unless there's a there turn around down there. >> Um, you can actually drive right here. >> Is there Can I get the captain streak down there? >> Okay, I'll come back this way. Go back inside. >> I'm not going inside. >> I don't know where you're going. >> 17. I'm cramping it to be 51 out of >> Yeah, we're sit down. >> I'm not That's not I'm sorry. >> Oh, I want to sit down at her. >> We're going to Jill's not going to take her cuz she just had the baby. >> I want to wait. You need an ambulance, ma'am? >> No, I just need to sit down. >> Okay. >> There's a chair on the front porch. Can I at least go there? >> Not right now. So, here's what's going on. You want to explain? >> Sure. So, based on our findings tonight, okay, we do have probable cause to make arrests on both of you. Okay. >> Um, it's just not fair to what's happening with these kids. All right. So, all both of y'all are going to be going to jail tonight um for child DCF has obviously custody of the kids and they're going to be staying with your sister or cousin. Mhm. >> Is that what it is? Hopefully you guys are able to get out tomorrow. You can get back to your baby. >> Yeah. Of what? We have no money. We have I have no family. >> I understand. But we we have probable cause. >> We have a duty to protect the children. >> The conditions they're in is unsafe for them in general. >> It's it's unsafe. I at least leave my wallet and my ID and stuff to my mother next door. >> You're going to probably want your wallet and your ID when you go. Okay. >> All right. Go up here and bring back your back. Put >> your palms together. Just like you're praying. >> Palms together. Palms together like you're praying. Just like that. >> 746. 312 is a whiskey mic and a whiskey fox 15. Got your key >> and a whiskey fox. >> I should not grab it. >> Got a pin. That's it. >> Okay. I got a hole up to my whole second knuckle. >> Okay. And it's double lock so it can't close anymore. And I had the same thing on this one. >> And it's double lock so it can't close. Obviously, ma'am, I can't affect a a good quality search of your person. So, do you have anything? Any >> I have nothing on me besides a pad. >> Okay. >> I'm just We're just giving you, you know, I'm not going to search you. So, do you have any weapons, tobacco products, lighters? You bring it into the jail. It's another criminal charge. I don't want >> I've got nothing. I have no pocket. >> I'm just giving you the courtesy, letting you know that. >> I understand. >> Okay. Do [laughter] you need Do you need to go to the hospital? >> No. >> Just a regular check. >> You don't need to see a doctor. No, I I'm just alive. >> Okay. All right. All right. >> They're my whole life, she said. [music] But that life was wrapped in dirty diapers, duct taped doors, and a terrifying silence every time the children cried. >> You want me to take that face? Put it inside. You can't take that. You can't take that. So, I'll put it up inside. >> Can you take him? And we're going to take her a goat for clearance. >> What? Yeah. >> Oh, they said no. I was like, >> "No." I said, "Yeah, >> Bergman, he's going to go on Deputy Go's car. We're going to take her to Advent." >> No, I don't want to go to the hospital. >> Okay, then you can just sign a refusal for me, ma'am. But it's our jail policy because you have a medical condition. You just had a child 5 days ago. We're going to take you to the hospital. If you want to sign a refusal, that's your prerogative. Okay? But at least this way here, I give you the opportunity to go. >> Have a seat and watch your head. Watch your head. >> Turn up the discuss. >> They're the only things Iinging live for. >> Ma'am, YOU DON'T GET IT. YOU'RE NOT A MOTHER. You're not a mother. I don't get it. >> I need you to take one deep breath for me, okay? Before I talk, can can you please take one deep breath? [cough] If you want to spit, spit right here. I know you're upset about your kids, but you your head against that glass is not going to do anything. You have three little ones that care about you that are waiting for you. So, let's just get this over with. We're going to go get you cleared at the hospital. If you don't want to get any treatment or anything, you'll just have to tell them that >> I don't want to go to the hospital. >> You just tell them you don't want to see them and they'll just tell a piece of paper and we leave. But according to our policy, because you just had >> I'll fill it out now. I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE AT ALL. I hate advent. They treat me like >> perfectly fine. It's not your decision. It's ours. Our policy states you're going to have to go. If you sign out AMA, that's not a problem. You don't have to get out of the car. That's not a problem. At the end of the day, this is what is happening. I'm very sorry to be the one to tell you that, but there's no decision here. There's no choice to be made. This is what's happening. Please not your head against my partition. All it's going to do is hurt to damage my car. Okay. >> Does you have any questions, comments, or concern at this point in time? >> No. >> Great. Close the door. Let's go. >> All right. With clear evidence of neglect and a hazardous living environment, the 26 and 27year-old parents were arrested on three counts of felony child [music] without great bottle. They were booked into Perry Hall jail with no bond. Under Florida law, they could face up to 5 years in prison and fines of up to $5,000. This isn't just a legal case. It's a serious wakeup call for all parents. Everyone faces hardship, but once you have children, every choice you make can shape their future or cost them their lives. In Hebrin, Ohio, a mother tries to explain, "I was just taking my kid to school, but the strong smell of alcohol on her breath told a different story." >> I'm trying to go to a >> Yeah, I know. >> I know. Well, >> on October 25th, 2024, police received a frantic 911 call. A mother suspected of being drunk was reportedly driving her child to school. Officers rushed to the scene. In front of them, a woman holding a small child staggered away, screaming in denial, then suddenly ran off in chaos, ignoring the safety of the child in the car. >> How you doing? >> Great. >> Are you under the influence? Anything right now? >> Huh? >> Are you under the influence? Anything right now? >> No. I'm just trying to get my kid into dance. >> Not under the influence, anything? >> Hell no. >> No medications? No. >> No help. >> Okay. Cuz I got a concerned parent came and stopped me and got me >> cuz my >> your speech is a little slur too. That's what that's why I'm asking. >> Nope. >> Okay. Pulling one spot right here. How you doing? >> Oh my god. Heavy. You're a baby. My child's scared. >> What's the reason for that? >> Uh, if I call another unit down here and run you through a sobriety test, are you going to pass everything? >> What? My baby's scared. >> Okay. Well, I'd rather your baby be safe than be scared. >> He's scared. He's >> I mean, your speech was slurred. You're having trouble holding your infant child. >> No. No. stopping. >> You're not free to leave with your I need your driver's license. I need your driver's license. >> I need your driver's license. If you try to leave, I'm going to stop you. >> Get out of the car now. >> GET OUT OF THE CAR. >> VEHICLE JUST hit another car. She's trying to take off. Two children in THE CAR. >> GET OUT OF THE CAR. >> YES, THERE. >> Get out of the way. Get out of the way. Get out of the car now. >> Get out of the car. >> Don't touch my >> Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Come on. You kids in the car. Get out of the car. Get out OF THE CAR. >> NO. GET OFF ME. >> Get out of the car. >> Get Get Come on. Get out of the car. Put your hands behind your back. You're under arrest. Put your hands behind your back. >> What? Put your hands behind your back. Stop resisting. >> Stop resisting. >> Stop. Yeah, mama. >> Get in the car, buddy. >> I'm not being >> Stop resisting. Stop resisting. >> What are you doing? >> Put your hands behind your back. >> No. I need it. [crying] >> Screams and struggling echoed amid the sound of a child crying. And ironically, in the chaos she created herself, she was still naive enough to ask, "Why are two male officers arresting a woman?" >> Stop fighting. Put your hands behind your back, [screaming] >> honey. It's okay. Come here. Don't touch my baby. >> You don't touch me, baby. >> I'm not hurt, baby. You're making her cry. >> Relax. >> Get off me. Get off me. >> Get off me now. >> Get Stop. >> Stop. >> Why does it take two m down one female? >> Why does it take two male? >> She's intoxicated. >> Two kids in the car in the car in the parking lot. Take two males take on one female. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Come on. >> Go stand up. >> I'm grabbing my go anywhere. >> Second. >> No. I don't have anything. You guys are a bunch of puss. >> Come on. >> No. No. No. No. >> Give me. No. I'm not leaving without my shoes. >> Go get your shoes if you just get in the car. >> You all right, buddy? >> You all right? They're the good guys. Remember the school.
