So, he's gonna have custody of my baby. Some parents just don't know how to parent. Today, we'll uncover a few of the most disturbing moments caught on police body cam where parents actions left a trail of chaos, fear, and danger for their own children. I've worked so hard. Well, you got to make better decisions, dude. From neglectful parents to downright violent ones, these stories will make you question what some people are capable of. Stay tuned. Are you okay? A little bit. Like I'm just took a little bit of what the kid doesn't need to see this. I was sleeping. Many things have put these kids lives in danger today. Today we have Detective Dale here to walk us through five intense and harrowing cases where officers arrived at the scene just in time. Let's dive in. I want to see my baby. That's all I want. On August 3rd, 2024 in Ohio, officers rushed to the scene after getting a call about a heated fight between a couple that quickly got out of hand. Hold on. Hold on. Where's she at? Where is she at? In the basement now. Lead us to her. Get out of my house. Stay right here. Stop. When the officers arrived, the man was visibly shaken and fed up. He told officers the suspect was upstairs acting out of control under the influence after days of non-stop use. Despite his desperate pleas for her to stop, she had taken his truck without permission. And now this was the third time she had turned violent. He made it clear that he wanted her arrested. But before the officers went up, he warned them she was going to lie. Do you think the officers will be able to handle someone this unpredictable? What's going on, brother? Okay. What happened, man? She's on bars and she's extremely up. All right. She's driving intoxicated right now. You'll see it as soon as she looks in her eyes. She has my truck. Yes. She bought it, but it's in my name, so technically that's my truck, right? You guys are married? No. No. Have you guys lived together for a while? Yeah. You got kids together? Yeah. Okay. But even by law, it's actually both of your trucks. But it's in my name. In Ohio, that doesn't matter. if if you're uh in like a common law relationship, which is basically you guys have lived together for a while, you have kids together, you know, all that sort of jazz. Well, I have two kids in the house and she's being like that in front of two kids. I definitely get it, man. She's on her third domestic violence charge. I would like her to go to jail tonight for domestic violence. Okay. Yeah, we'll try and find her. Uh and before you get here, she's going to say that I kicked this bookshelf over, which I didn't. And I have my 13-year-old daughter, my 12-year-old daughter in here that can come down here and tell you the exact same thing. But I'm not bull my lip. Yeah, I see it. Yeah. Okay. You got a red mark in there. And she's going to tell you that uh I put my hands on her and my daughter will definitely tell you no, I did not. So, tell me what happened tonight. Tell me like a like a story like uh I've been trying to get her to stop eating Xanaxes for 3 days. She said she was going down to her grandma's to do something, which she went and got more Xanax axes. Then she said she was going to go do something. Then she went and got more Xanax axes and then hid them from me. And when I told her it was either the Xanax axes or me, she went I raped. Like I said, I can show you the bookshelf that she kicked over. Mhm. What's today? Saturday. Yeah. Oh, yeah. She'll be in there all weekend. Yeah. I definitely want her in jail for domestic violence. Okay. Um, do you know where she might be going? No, she's running around hiding from you guys. And if she does happen to go to jail, is there any way you can possibly get my keys and bring them to me? Yeah, if we uh if we get her um we'll give you a call and because I have two sleeping keys in the kids in the house. I can't get to them. We could drive the keys back to you. We could probably like park it somewhere and then drive the keys back to you. Drop them off at your house and then you'll just go get the car later if you need to. I mean, you you throw them right in the backseat of that car. I don't care. Okay. She thought I was playing, but I'm not. This is the third time she's put her hands on me. And any man, even you, I know you're a cop, but if a female puts her hands on you three times very violently, you're going to you're going to do something, right? The next morning, when officers returned to arrest her, they found it wasn't just herself she was putting in danger. Things had gotten extreme. Hey, man. Where's she at? Still back at it. Where's she at, though? Right now. Hold on. Hold on. Where she at? Where is she at? In the basement. lead us to her. You don't have any weapons inside, do you? I mean, yes, but none on us. Okay.

But he said, "If you don't come home and talk to me right now, then I'm calling the cops and you're going to jail." Blah blah blah. He literally said, "If you don't come home right now, blah blah blah, then I won't call the cops and then we can just sit down and talk." He's acting like a big child. Okay.

And then I like pushed him back from me and my hand did like push his throat and I said, "Get the off of me." So that is the only time I ever touched him.

You're not doing this. Okay. He like literally just would not let me leave. And I was like, I just need time away from you. I need time to think. I don't want to be with you.

I kind of did heard something that was like and see a kid fall out of the car. I kind of did heard something. So, you know, as the driver, you're responsible to make sure that everyone has a seatelt on, right? So, if there's four kids in the back of that car and three seat belts, how does everyone have a seat belt on? They didn't have seat belts on, did they? None of them had seat belts on. I think they did. So, my question is is if there's three seat belts and there's four kids, how do you get three seat belts on four kids? It It's impossible. There's There's no way to put three seat belts on four kids. That means one kid didn't have a seat belt on. And obviously the kid that didn't have a seat belt on is the one that flew out the car and hit the road, right? I was a driver for my sister. All right. Best times. All right. We'll talk to you in a little bit. Okay. Hey, [Music] Des. You're just detained right now. Okay. You're not under arrested this time. They come off easily. Come on. But for now, you are detained because this is what happened. Okay. Oh, he's being detained. Yeah. Separate to that strong order coming out of this car. Yeah. There's a strong order coming out of this car. So, that's why he's attained. Go ahead and finish answering his questions and we'll uh tell you what's going on. I mean, finish answering his questions. I get him out of here. There's a few things going on. One, how old are the kids in the back seat? What age range are they from? My daughter is nine. My other daughter is seven. Okay. My son is 12 and Jy's four. All right. So, the four-year-old should be in a car seat. According to Florida law, all children aged five and younger must be restrained a fedally approved crash child restraint device. This includes a booster seat, car seat, or any other manufactured integrated child seat. So, two of them are in car seats. Okay. Second thing, four kids in the back seat, only three seat belts available for them. That's a problem. And the third thing is we all can smell the coming out of the car including the paramedics and fire. So we're looking at those three things right now. So hang tight while we can finish doing what we're doing. Is there any marijuana in this car? Do you know? All right. Well check with or without your permission. Just the smell of alone gives us the right to check your car. So that's what deputy where where are we? I don't even know. You're in Palm Coast, Florida. probably about half hour north of Daytona. All right, ma'am. I'm have to talk to you for a little bit now. Okay. You mind coming over here with me? Can you talk to the front of his car? And the pills I found in the glove box, the Xanax bars. Xanax? Yeah, those are my anxiety pills. Okay. Are those Do you have a prescription? I don't have it in my um bottle. No, I don't have my prescription. You have a prescription for Xanax in particular? Um they give me um some type of pills like that's for like that. Has a doctor prescribed Xanax bars to you? That's what we're asking. Um cuz we we can check that. We can go on the record. We can check in. So he hasn't prescribed you any Xanax. But they they prescribe me with pills that are like in the Xanax family. In the Xanax family. But he hasn't prescribed you those those pills. Where did you get those pills? I have bad anxiety pills. I mean anxiety problem. Where did you get those pills from? My friend gave them to me. Your friend gave you those pills? Yeah. Like my anxiety is bad. Does your friend have a prescription for the pills? Is it his prescription? Probably. He probably has a prescription for my Probably. Okay. Cuz my sister passed away and um not too long ago. So I I'm dealing with like anxieties and stuff. So I would have to take That's what I'm saying. Well, if if you got anxiety, that's when you go to the doctor and the doctor prescribe you medication and stuff. But getting the bottles right there. You can probably see the old ones that I have right there. So the secondary I've been trying to go to the doctor. The secondary concern that I have is when you guys left Miami. Okay. You got four four children in the back seat. Um their ages are in the back seat right now. Is it five or nine five and three? That's their ages in the back seat. Um nine five seven seven five and four. Five and four. Okay. So, under Florida law, uh, and you get Do you have a driver's license in Florida? No, I have to get one. So, you don't have a driver's license in Florida. Okay. Well, it's it's law that states that any juvenile that's in a vehicle that's under the age of five needs to be in a car seat. On top of that, any juvenile that's under the age of 18 needs to have a seat belt on. All right. So, the the problem is is these cars are designed for for three passengers in the rear seat. Right now we have four passengers in reverse. Okay. So the car is legally not allowed to travel with four juveniles. Even four adults in the back seat. You couldn't travel with four adults in that back seat if you want to because everyone has to have the option to be able to sit with the seat belt. Even as an adult, you don't have to sit with a seat belt in the back seat. You still have to have that option. But like I said, the main concern is is that we left Miami. We put four juveniles in the back seat. And obviously one of the juveniles didn't have a seat belt on because you got three seat belts three seat belts and four juveniles that leave someone out from getting it. And obviously the one that I don't I don't know why the door opened. I don't know if he had hit the door, if it was a malfunction door. I see if there's damage on that side of the car. So with with the damage on the side of the car, maybe the door locks not working properly. I I I don't know that. I'm mechanic. But all I know is that by simple math, three seat belts, four juveniles, and one juvenile falls out. That's most likely the one that wasn't wearing the seat belt. Okay. So, that's that's the concern that I have. The secondary concern is um who was the male that was driving the car? My little brother. That's your little brother. Okay. Um were you awake when your brother was smoking the car? No. No, you weren't awake when he was sleeping. Okay. You were sleeping when he was smoking. Did you know that he had on him? I'm not No, I wasn't aware that Okay. So, you weren't aware that he had It doesn't matter if it's if it's an ounce or 10 ounces, it's still not legal to have with you. And then obviously, it's not if if he smoked it 20 minutes ago, it's it's not legal to We don't know. I don't know when he smoked it. I don't know if he smoked when he stopped here. I don't know. I was sleeping. He gets back on the road. Now, he is driving under the influence with four juveniles. One of them obviously not in a seat. I can't I can't say that they all weren't in seat belts. I know that when we came up to the car, they weren't in their seat belts, but um two of them were supposed to be in car seats. Which one? Said they said four-year-old supposed to be in a car seat. So, anybody under the age of five needs to be in a car seat under? Five and under. Five and under has to be in a car seat. Two out of the four kids should have been in a federally approved car seat. The officer grows more concerned. He points out that not only was the driver unlicensed, but the kids weren't wearing seat belts. There were no child safety seats and there may have been drugs in the car, trying to avoid making a scene in front of the kids. The officers calmly ask her to walk to the back of the car where they quietly detain her. Your brother, do you mind running him up to South Carolina to go meet his dad or bringing his dad back so that he can see his kid? All that that would be stuff that I would expect a parent to do um for their children to make sure that their children are safe. Okay. Uh do you have any family that's in the area here? Where is your family at? Far away. We don't live here at all. I I understand you don't live here, but where would your family be at? Where would the nearest relative be at? Very far. Miami, Florida. And nobody have a car. And nobody has a car down in Miami. They don't know anybody that could No. Okay. I just got my car. And this car is not even under my name. I I was going to do all the registration and everything um on the today the 15th. Yeah. The day whenever I get back to Miami with my brother. My brother's the one with the license. My older brother. Your older brother is the one with the license. And but he had to go to work. Your older brother had to work. Okay. So your younger brother, does he have a license? He never had a license before. So your younger brother never had a license before. Never doing anything like that. Okay. So did you know he didn't have the license? Um I think yeah. Yeah. He didn't I don't think Yeah, he didn't have a license. So Okay. So that that's the other concern that I have is now you're asking your little brother to drive you knowing that knowing that he doesn't have a license and you're putting your children on the back of the car who don't have seat belts on a non-licensed driver. Listen, I love all of my kids. I understand what you're saying. This isn't a question if you love your kids or not. Okay. I know what happened was a mistake. I understand. I don't know what you want me to do. There's there's a lot I want you to do as a mom to to for the safety for your children. Buy a car seat. I can I can go buy a car seat. Do that right now. Okay. At this time, we're going to detain you. All right. Over here. No. Do this. Do this. Walk with us. Walk to the back. Just walk. Walk to that car. I don't want to do it in front of your kids. So, walk with us to the back of this car. Get out of jail here. We're detaining you. We're not putting you in jail. We're detaining you. Okay. Just walk. I don't want to put your hands in front of your kids. Just walk with us to the back of this car like we're walking and talking. When we clear the rear of your car, we're going to put I'm going to explain you in a second. Keep walking with us like we're talking and once we rear this car, we're going to do front of a walk with us. Green Subaru Legacy Whiskey. Come right here. Possibly driving vehicle going eastbound on this point. We're detaining you. Go ahead and put your hands behind your back. No sleeping because there's many things going on here. Many things, not just one. Many things that put these kids' lives in danger today. Not just one thing between too many kids in the without seat belts, without the without the car seat, no one realized the kid fell out, the drugs in the car. There's a lot of things going on right now. Okay. Okay. It's not just one thing. I understand what you're saying, sir. I understand. But I just got this car. Alpha 265. Where's my baby? Don't do this to me. His Spanish or anytime during questioning. You can a foreign attorney won't be appointed to represent you. If at any time you wish to stop talking or have any attorney present, all question will stop at your request. Do you understand these rights? With these rights in mind, are you willing to talk to me? I'm sorry. I said, "With these rights in mind, are you willing to talk to me?" No. You don't want to talk to us? No, we like I said, we're giving you the opportunity to talk to us. We already know most answers. We just want to talk to you to try to figure out more stuff. Um, like talk about it. You first you have to say yes, you want to talk to us or no, you don't want to talk to us. No, you don't want to talk to us. Okay. That'll be I'm going to jail. What? I'm going to jail. Um, right now we're it's still an investigation, so we're still doing an investigation into it. Okay. All right. If you were to go to jail today, your charges would be driving with no driver's license. Okay. Um, I don't know how many suspensions you've had. Um, possibly driving under the influence and also child neglect for having in the vehicle with the children on there. And then also failure to for due cause to make sure that those children since you're the driver, you're responsible to make sure that they're in car seats and they're in seat belts. And you basically drove off and let one fall out of the car. So you' be you'd be charged with child neglect. Like I said, we we're still doing an investigation. That's why we wanted to talk to you. So at this time, would you want to talk to us? Yes or no? No, you don't want to talk to us. Okay. All right. The mom and her brother are arrested for child neglect and drugs. DCF is called, but the mom asks them to contact her mother, to which the officer agrees. This point, your brother's being placed under arrest for driving under um driving with suspended driver's license felony, possession of and the child neglect. We're also being placed under arrest for child neglect and possession of the Xanax pills if they Xanax. Okay. The two of you had every reason or right to either one put those kids in a car seat or make sure they're properly buckled in when the two of you failed. I mean, you put your children's life in danger by letting them smoke on them and driving like that. No. Okay. Well, all right. Let me call somebody so they can come get my kids. All right. Well, here's the deal. I right now I can't sit with your kids while someone comes from Miami. I did call Department of Children and Families. They are on their way to take possession of your kids. But you give me that name. I will give that name to them and that would be someone they can contact to turn the kids over. I can't Miami is what? How far is Miami? Four hours. Five hours. Four. Four five hours. I can't say my parking lot kids are four hours. How am I going to get out? Do you want me to get my kids? I have to call somebody to come get them. All right. So, who do you want me to give this number to the DCF for your kids to come get them? My mom. You got my mom number, right? We do. Yeah. Do Okay. Um before he leaves, he'll give that to me and I'll give it to the DCF investigator and they will call her. Okay. What I'm going to do is we're going to take you and I place you in the back of that patrol car. I'm going to take your oldest child, put him in one of these cars and I'm going to drive the car literally from here to the parking lot and get them off the roadway. Um, did the kids eat this morning? Man, did the kids eat breakfast? If I was going to McDonald's and get them read, anybody have any allergies or anything that they can't eat? All right, cuz I'm going McDonald's to get them some food and the investigator should be here the next half hour, 45 minutes. Okay. So, step on out and they're going to walk you over to the other car. Since I don't know. And then there's a puppy in the car, too. Correct. Yeah, those are my puppies. All right. Puppies. There's more than one in there. All right. They're going to go to We're going to turn them over to I can't to our um animal control. Hey, can I pick them up? Yeah, I'll give him your name. He'll be able to pick them up. Can I get my take my credit card in? You want my own stuff out? Yes, we will grab your credit card. You want your credit card and your cell phone out of the car? Correct. Yes. Okay. Okay, we'll grab that other car for you before we go. So, I give every I give you brother the opportunity. Do you have anything on your persons? Cuz if you have anything on your persons, I can go get a female deputy to come and search you. But introduction into my in facility is going to be a secondary charge. So, this is why I give you if you have my car is not on my under my name. Well, here's that's the problem. The car is going to get towed. It's going to go to the local towound. You won't be able to get it out until you bring a valid registration insurance for the car cuz the car is not registered and the car is not insured. So, you shouldn't be driving this on the road. Okay. Okay. All right. It's all right. I see everything you guys would like to see. Not everything that we're doing. That's everything that you the choices that we've selected. Today, the mother was charged with neglecting her child and possessing illegal substances and was sentenced to 2 years of community control followed by probation along with a six-month driver's license suspension. Her brother was charged with child neglect and failure to register the vehicle. Though the latter charges were dropped, he was sentenced to 3 years of probation, 180 days in jail, a drug evaluation, and no contact with the victims during his supervision. In the next case, the children didn't fall out of the car, but what happened was just as dangerous. It was on. It was on. It was on. There's no key in it. I I I can pull my key. I can pull my key out, bro. On a hot summer day, June 21st, 2024, police got a call about a parked car at a Harbor Freight store. Inside that car were children screaming and crying. What is wrong? How dare you leave a child in here without the air on? Are you serious? When officers got to the parking lot, they found a terrifying scene. Two young kids locked inside a parked car with no air conditioning. The outside temperature was 92 degrees and the children were crying in distress. Thank you very much. Yeah. [Music] Hi, sweetie. Are you able to unlock the door? Are you hot? [Music] I literally just walked in. Open this door right now. What is wrong? How dare you leave a child in here without the air on? Are you serious? It was on. You're trying. What do you mean? It was on. It's not on, dude. There's no key in there, dude. I promise you. It was on. It was on. It was on. It was on. There's no key in it. I I I can I can pull my key out, bro. Jesus Christ. Dude, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, dude. Please don't take my key. What is wrong with Turn the car. Get some AC. I'm so sorry. Please. Are you guys okay? I'm so sorry, guys. Are you guys okay? Dude, I've literally been in there for like 5 minutes. Please, don't take my case. I'm so sorry. That is ridiculous. Dude, where's your ID at? [ __ ] Feel like I didn't smash your window out, dude. 35 medic 241. Where's your ID at? I don't know. Can I please talk to you? Okay, I'm going to have the medics look at these kids. You step over here. That's fine. Can I please talk to you? There's two two of them in there. Super hot. They're crying when I can talk to you about what? Look, I I've been doing this alone, man. I I tried to return something. I They're They're They're They're They're They're They're They're They're They're They're having an issue returning it. I didn't realize that we were taking this. So, please give him a hug. Just stay back for a second. How long they been in there? It's pretty hot, dude. I I know. I I ran in. I tried to return something. I tried to come back out. I moved my key on and I had thought that I had left it on. Car was off when I got here. Come over here. Both cars 58A 49 Avenue does have depression and cancer. What's going on, man? currently in his room. I'm struggling. I ran inside to return something. They were asleep. I didn't want to wake them up. They end up we've been busy all day. I can leave my key on and leave the key or leave the car running. And I had thought I had did that and apparently I had flipped it back. I had ran inside. I've been in there for 5 10 minutes and they were having an issue returning the item that I have or that I was trying to return. So I was coming back out here and then I see somebody walking around my car. I'm like, "What the?" Yeah. Like, dude, I promise it was an honest mistake. I'm I'm going through I've been doing this alone. They were in their fight. I I up and I realized that, bro. Yeah. Real quick, do you have any warrants or anything like that? No. Huh? Yeah. Nothing. Oh. So, my So, my understanding is this is that these medics were saying it was extremely hot in that car. I know. And I'm up, man. Please don't take my kids from being up and I won't never do it again. Well, first of all, you relax. I understand it's a stressful situation and everything, but buddy I know up, man. Yeah. So, I'm so sorry. Real quick, look at me. Realistically, how long were you in there? 5 10 minutes, man. 5 10 minutes. I promise. Also, you Okay. 5 to 10 minutes in this type of heat with nothing running with the with the windows up in the car. You understand how hot that gets inside of a vehicle? Yes, sir. Do you understand that you can kill a child within 3 4 minutes? I didn't realize that you can do it that fast. Huh? I didn't realize it was hot. Heat stroke is a real thing, boss. No, right now. She's She's reaching for me. Not right now. Not right now. We're talking to you. We understand it's stressful. We understand everything else is going on. All right. Where are you working? I'm not right now. I'm doing this. I don't have help, man. And I'm doing this alone. Where you living? I stay with a friend that's letting me stay with you. Well, okay. Right now, they're going to check your kids. Make sure your kids are okay. Okay. All right. This is what I'm You're just going to sit right there, buddy. I'm not going to put you in the back of a car. I'm not doing that right now. All right. Cuz you're talking to me. I'm talking to you. As of right now, the mags need to check your kids out to make sure your kids aren't hurt. Yes, sir. You're right. Thank you. Cuz I just want you to know like within 3 to four minutes they could have especially with no water. Especially with nothing. They had water. They know how old are they? How old are they? Four and or five and four. So a five and fouryear-old in a hot car. I know. Have a seat. Have a seat. But you need to understand if I have a four-year-old in a hot car like that. Okay. Look, listen to me. They're not going to think to drink water. We're not going to have to think to do any of that. All right. So, from outside looking in, cuz we've all dealt with this before. It could have been very bad. What if nobody called police? Then what? I already know. You don't have to keep telling me, man. Yeah, it comes back. Where are you guys living? We were living in Miami. The man had claimed he was only inside the store for 5 minutes, but even that short time was dangerous. The kids were drenched in sweat, red-faced, and clearly overheated. Temperatures inside a parked car can rise by 20° in just 10 minutes, even with the windows cracked. I think they're about to ask you to cool them down and everything. Yeah. And uh I mean, are they going back with him? As of right now, I don't know because this I don't know if I can trust him going back with him. That's what I'm wondering cuz then cuz he said he was only there for he said he was only there for 5 minutes. I said, "Even five minutes, that's out in this heat with your windows up with with no AC going." I said, "You could have killed your kids easily." They said 5 to 10. I mean, they're sweaty. They're warm. So, I was telling him I don't think they need to go to the hospital, but for we need to take them for their safety down there, then that's fine. I didn't They're probably okay. Okay. He's medically okay. Yeah, they're very like your face. You saw the red facility. Do you want me to go in there and ask He was not like he's at the counter for a while. Oh, in the store. Yeah. Like how long he's in there for? Yeah. If you don't mind doing that, might be a security camp. Well, so if he's been if this is some This would be my call. I said I I'll talk to you about too. If he's in there for more than 10 minutes, I think they should go get checked medically, too. Oh, yeah. If it's more than 10 minutes because this he's saying he told me 5 to 10, but he originally told me five and then now he's saying 5 to 10. So, I'm guessing probably because he said he went in there to exchange to return something, then he was in there for a while trying to work on exchanging it. So, we don't know how that can go. All right. But my main concern right now is make sure they're okay. Like, I don't like you mean, but I don't I don't care about that. Yeah. Like I said, medically, I think they're fine. They need to probably honestly need some water, you know, some fluids. Um, but I just wanted for their safety. I mean, if we need to take them somewhere, obviously more than willing to do that. Yeah. Medically though, I think they're okay. Soon his lie came out. Lying when there are witnesses never works out well, does it? Cashier said 15 plus at least. Oh, they got they need to get the doctors probably get checked in at that point. So, yes, 15 plus. I think they should go check their doctors at that point cuz that's Yeah, he's No. Well, his first worry was he didn't mind trouble. Yeah. Yeah. Why? Why you worry about if you're in trouble and not your kids? You need an exchange. We can take three kids in there. Yeah. Exactly. That's That's not my thought, too. He said, "Well, they have water." I said I said, "You think a three and a however old they are, four and a six-year-old, or whatever." He said, "Think about to drink water." Yeah. Where's our mom? Is that why you have temporary custo? It's hard, man. I'm sorry. my bait. Yeah. There's I ain't going to lie to you. There's newies in there. I know. I honestly thought I had left because I couldn't believe it. You know how some of the older cars you can flip them on and pull the key out. I can flip it on and I can pull the key out. It wasn't on when I got here. I know. I realized that as soon as I came out, I was You realize it's probably over 100° in that car when I pulled up. I mean, that takes 2 seconds to kill children those age. You know, right? Oh, really? I'm sorry. Give people, please. They'll be out in a minute. They'll be out in a minute. Just hang out right there. How How long did the How long did you see them in there? Um, well, I got here and I immediately started walking up to the store, but then I heard crying and I turned back and sure as sure as hell the call was unattended. So, that's when I called 911 and about that was about from the time I made the call to when you guys got here. So probably like 5 minutes by the time I got here. Yeah. All right. Well, I appreciate it. Thanks for coming. Thank you. Appreciate it. Officers decided to detain him, especially after learning he may have been smoking marijuana while responsible for the children. Just don't walk around. 92 degrees, dude. I know. And I went in there. Did you hear this? I went in there and talked to the cashier that she said he was waiting in line for 15 minutes. No, serious. Yeah. They were all sweaty and that Well, at least you're still sweating. Yeah, I know. I thought uh Yeah. And then so we're trying to figure out he's I don't know if he's going to go with your sergeant or what but we're trying to figure out where they need to go if they need to go because like he doesn't have a mom. Well, if you're if you're going to not charge him with anything and move on then we can't really take his kids away from him. Oh, I know. That's what I'm saying. We don't have to. Which I think. Absolutely. I mean medically if they just did their temperatures like their normal they've been to the medics. You didn't take them like when they first got out. Okay. Yeah, I understand. Anything on you? I'll pass you down real quick. We're going to talk about I'm going to tain you right now. Okay. What's on your pocket? You mind if I take everything out? No drugs or anything like that? I got That's fine. You're not driving with the kids in the car where you smirk against where I'm at. All right. You're going to have a seat back my car right now. Are they okay? Yeah, they're okay. We're just detaining you right now. It's funny. I actually just was in there for a return the other day and the truck come looked at me when I walked in. I know. Yeah. Kids weren't in the car. Were they? No. Okay. I think he was trying to find I left I left her home by her phone. Where's their mom at right now? Do you know her phone number? Not right now. Do they have a grandma? Grandpa? Yeah, grandma. That's close. Yeah. Is she able to take care of them? Are you Am I going to jail? Yeah. You want to go to jail for child endangerment? Man, you can't leave your kids in here. You know grandma's phone number? Yeah. All right. Give me Give me a second. What's grandma's phone number? Can I please give them a hug? Cuz I know their mom's going to keep them from me after this. Please, just one hug. What's your grandma? Step out real quick. I'm going put you in the mud before you do that. Oh, turn around. Turn around. You should have thought about all this before you you did stuff, man. I fault. I'm sorry. Too tight. Is it hot back here? Even if it was, I wouldn't tell you because I deserve it. All right, have a seat. Did you get a hold of my mom? No, I think uh they're going to get dropped off at doctor's hospital. Are they okay? Yeah, they're okay. But it was just we don't have anybody else to take them right now. And then uh take them to my mom's. No, they're going to go to doctors, make sure they're all good. And then uh children services is going to go there as well. So we we have to report on something like this, man. It's not like it's not like, "Oh, you messed up. Okay, here's your kids back. Go do it again. You know, it's something we we are required. Otherwise, I don't I'm not I'm not going to lose my job over something I guess. No, I know. And so, my understanding, you're you're doing the return for this gentleman. I refused to do a return because he used half the product and he must have communicated that that like they they they usually would handle that. They asked me cuz I'm a leader on duty, not just because I served him, but they asked me, "Can he return it if it's half empty?" And I was like, "No, I did not say that he could return it and use it. I just said if it doesn't." So, real quick, if you don't mind, could you do a witness statement for me? State like like he came in here to return the product, where it was, and like you don't have to go into too much detail, but just like just give us like a rough estimate time he was in here. Okay. Because he's telling us a totally different time. I can check the camera than what Yeah. And if you guys have camera footage as well. Yeah. I can check the camera and see when he came in and he was right there kind of in camera view. I can go back. Yeah. And you just give us like a rough estimate time, too. like he was in here approximately this time trying to do this and everything. I can I can just backtrack on the camera and get you like a time. Okay. Return. Yeah. This is just this is ruin the guy's life. No, no, this is something totally different. Thank you so much. The store employee confirmed that the man had been in the store for more than 27 minutes and only left when he noticed the police had arrived. He was then charged with child endangerment. The children were taken to the hospital and later placed under the care of CPS. It's easy to ask, how could a parent do this? But by the time officers arrive, the worst has often already happened. Kids left in hot cars, extreme neglect, drugrelated chaos. What might seem like an overreaction can be the difference between life and death. It's rarely black and white. Officers have to make split-second decisions under intense pressure. Before we jump into the next story, don't forget to hit that subscribe button so you never miss these shocking moments. Fairmore Police Department. On January 1st, 2024, police in Fairborn, Ohio, responded to a 911 call that quickly turned into a nightmare. Her mother had called for help, but she gave a fake name, which immediately raised suspicions. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a three-year-old girl in critical condition inside a filthy, buginfested apartment. Police Department. Holy, she's breathing. She's still breathing. Let's go. Let's go. Upon arriving at the scene, the child's father told police the mother called him, crying that their daughter was starving, then vanished. He hadn't seen the girl in weeks. She had already lost one child to CPS in the past. Now, their second daughter was fighting for her life, and the mother had gone silent. Her phone on airplane mode, nowhere to be found. So, how did you come to find yourself over here? She called me and was freaking out, telling me that my daughter was malnourished and that she was sorry and she had to go. Where would she go? I have no idea. I know her mom lives in Yellow Springs um in the uh the um apartments over there by the horse track. Is my daughter okay? Well, she's in route to Children's Hospital right now. Do you have an ID on your partner? I do. What is your daughter's name? Check it out. Where would she be going? I have no idea. She has no family around here. So, like I said, her mom lives in Yellow Springs and uh I don't know where her sister lives anymore. I know that she's been talking to a lot of people online. Can I get a picture of this eventually? Okay, I'll just give it back to you for now. So, you got a number? I can send it to you. Just a screenshot. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I use my work phone. Yeah. She's been talking to a lot of guys online. She's been Yeah. M's on Destiny all night. Didn't think this was going to happen. When's the last time you saw your daughter? It's been a while. She um had kept telling me that she didn't want me around her because she had had issues with being when she was a child and that because of that she was uncomfortable with us being in the same room gave me reasons to why she was asleep every time I came over and I haven't seen her at least 2 3 weeks. Okay. And when you saw her and when you saw her 2 or 3 weeks ago her she was in good health or she was okay. And and so does she have drug problems or what's going on? Um she smokes pot, but I don't think that's the cause of it. Uh about I want to say 6 months ago, we split up because her father and she went completely off rails after that. She stopped cleaning. She stopped taking care of everything. It led to many arguments. Um, she had asked me to quit my job two years prior and uh I listened because she was making like $1,000 a week and uh so I told her, you know, because I knew she was struggling, get new clothes. I will go get a job. I will take care of everything. And she said, "No, I want you to stay here." And it kept turning into fights until I caught her cheating or on me with some people online. And uh she's just been in this in this spiral. She hasn't cleaned up the room. The last time Uh, but she doesn't clean her own room. I think the only reason she cleaned that room is because I told her that I I would seriously hurt her if I found my daughter in any kind of condition because we lost our first daughter because she had neglect issues and uh that was the reason we were allowed to keep this one. And uh you lost your first daughter like she they had to put her up for adoption or Yeah. Yeah. CPS took her because we were I had taken her to my uncle's and an old friend of mine that I looked at like a brother had his gun on him and he was uh exmilitary. So I had assumed, you know, everything was fine. I didn't know he had it on him at the time. He pulled it out to clean it. I wasn't paying attention and he shot himself in the knee. Um Okay. I guess it was a bullet wedged in where he was trying to dislodge and the hammer cocked forward and snapped a bullet in his knee. And because of that along with uh they said that she had marks on her back which I had assumed was from flowing in her stroller that uh they needed to take custody. Okay. Would you humor me? I know she said that her her uh phone's going on airplane mode, but can you text her back and say, "Hey, I'm talking to the police. like you need to come back here or something to that effect. Thank you. Okay, I'll be right back. While searching the house, they uncovered a horrifying case of extreme neglect and abuse that had been hidden behind the walls of that home.

I left from my uncle's house to rush over after telling her to calm down only to receive a message saying she was putting her phone in airplane mode and running off and that she was sorry and to get my things from the apartment.

Within minutes, officers were racing to the scene, unsure of what they were about to walk into. We'll use this on him. You just pray it once and then it's done. I'm really confused. When officers arrived, they found a woman standing at the door, her hands shaking, eyes wide with fear. Inside the home, chaos waited. Two people had overdosed.

I didn't know what like why they left or anything until they got back. Okay. And um they said it tasted weird or whatever. So I tried I just put it in my mouth to try some. Um just just like a little bit on the end like on the tip of your finger or something. Yeah. put like a little bit on my finger to try it and it it didn't taste right. She got up and she said she felt dizzy and went into the bathroom. Um I don't know if she threw up, but I did see a little something on her shirt. Is that why the water was running? She she turned the water on or something. It don't matter. So yeah, probably. Yeah. I remember hearing him try to wake her up.

Cross that bridge when the time comes. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I think you don't I do actually have to pee. You didn't pee yet? No. Yeah, I'll leave it over. Yeah. A detective on scene expresses concern that Riley may also be under the influence and could pass out, emphasizing the need to find someone to care for her child. You and your roommate were drinking. You wanted to drink, correct? He did. I didn't. Okay. I had, like I said, I had like a couple sips, but that was it. I was trying to put I was frustrated trying to put my son to sleep. Yeah. So, yeah, I drank a little bit. Um, how are you feeling right now? Are you feeling sick anymore or I don't feel sick. I was just my vision is a little almost a little which is what happened with them, right? Okay. I think Yeah, I think so. I wasn't really around them. Like, I walked in and they were passed out. But you said you tried it, right? Yeah. So, I just tried a little bit on my finger cuz they said it tasted weird. Yeah. So, I just tried a little bit of it and then like 5 to 10 minutes later I kind of started getting a little dizzy or t like I feel like I'm tipsy. Like that's it. Like I just feel like I'm tipsy right now. So, I don't know what was put in this or whatever, but and then yeah, of course, I got sick and just threw up a little bit in there, but I feel better now. All right. What's your first name? Riley. Riley R. Um Riley. My I'm Detective Roger. I'm the the covering the road supervisor uh for the sheriff's office uh tonight. So, um one, forgive my appearance. I don't dress in the regular uniform on day-to-day basis. Okay? So, that's why I'm in regular plain clothes. Who are we going to call to come take care of your kid for the evening? I don't. We have to call somebody. Right now, you're dozing off with me just talking to me. So, to be honest with you, I'm a little nervous about you, whatever that was affecting you and your breathing and possibly passing out yourself. So, we got to take the child in consideration. So, we have to bring get that kid to someone that could care for the kid overnight. What about Christopher? He's out of town. out of town where they I'm not 100% sure. He's been traveling with um carnivals and stuff like doing like food and stuff. All right, we got just somebody aunt, great aunt, grandma, grandpa, I I don't care who. So these people that were here, you said you don't you don't know them real well. No, the the dude's my temporary like roommate. Okay. Um, and then they Yeah. What is it? Gatesu. It starts with an M. I don't really know how to um spell it. So, your roommate wanted a drink. So, and and the I guess, but I didn't know until they got back. And I didn't even really want to do anything, but they said it tasted weird. And I don't know. I just had a a feeling like I probably shouldn't have taken it, but I just had like a feeling and I just wanted to try it, too. And then Yeah, it definitely tasted weird. All right, let me open this up. Riley, where's all the packaging that was being used? Packaging that they used to they carried the stuff in the Coke. Coke. Uh, there was like a c a little baby capsule. It might still be on the the counter. Yeah, it's next to the oven. So, they're take So, you're doing pills and they're crushing them up or No, I think it was I I don't know. I didn't watch any of it happen. I just I What did you do? It was on like a little mirror and I put your finger on the mirror. So, where's that mirror? It's in the um the drawer. It's next to the oven if you're seeing. Oh, okay. So, that's all in the kitchen, too. Yes. Yes. All right. I got to um call his dad. I'm going to close the door. Watch your name. Okay. Can you call your mom? They want they want to take me and like check me out to make sure I'm okay. Who's on your way? Uh his um his grandma. Hello. Sorry, I don't know your name. Am I able to run in and make him a bag for like an overnight bag? right now. Just because Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, when the time comes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, we'll I'll help you out. All right. Thank you. So, do not lend me the color. No, just because they're still in there. So, I detained. No. No, I don't think so. Am I being detained? As of right now, yes, cuz we're And we're still waiting on EMS, don't forget. Okay. So like right now you're basically our responsibility because of the situation at hand. I can I just I know I made the I hope I made the right decision. Honey, yes, you did. Yes. You potentially just saved both of your lives. I made the right decision. So yeah, I I definitely feel bad about it even though I didn't really know what was going on and everything. No, it's okay. I You made the right decision. I mean, if you didn't call, who knows where they'd be. Right. Right. And one of the only reasons I did call is because the male um has been through the same experience before. Like I don't with you like No, no, no, no, no, no. Someone else. It was heroin actually and he like woke up in the hospital the next morning cuz one of his friends gave him. You said Amber. If you want to hop out, they're here. Unless you're going to follow someone. Yeah, but I can hang out. Yeah, if you want to just come see them quick, we'll have them check you out in the ambulance. Probably just be easier. Okay. Okay. Yeah, we uh so we we came here for two other people unresponsive on the floor overdoses. We got the one girl back, but um the the male, they gave him like five shots and was still agonal breathing and they got him out of here. What she's telling me is uh is is all she did was was she took her finger, she uh touched the powder and um she just went to taste it. I'm going to need you to stay awake for me. I'm trying, man. I know you're trying. We don't know what it was. You are going to go, right? Go to the hospital, get checked out. No one wants to find you dead later, right? Yes. You got the last thing you need for your kid, right? I know. Yeah, I'm totally fine with it. That was the reason I called. Okay. Riley is taken to the hospital while neighbors watch her child until the grandmother arrives. Officers reassure her that no one is in trouble. But due to the child's presence during the overdose, a child endangerment report must be filed. I got red crossed right by my door. Okay. So, I have your boyfriend's number that's on you're on the phone with him. I'm sorry to interrupt. So, we're going to be bringing you to the hospital almost immediately. Is it okay if it's okay with them that your neighbors watch your kid until whoever shows up? Yeah, that's fine. I have to pack the bag for him. We're going through Grandma. Okay. Where is his stuff in your apartment? When grandma comes, why can't grandma go in the apartment and pack up? She'll figure it out. Those should grandma, right? Yeah, I guess. I mean, how hard is it, right? Some diapers, some clothes, throw it in a bag, and call it good. They're all in this. Is it okay if you guys watch the kid until the grandma comes? Okay. Cuz she's going to be going to the hospital. It's pretty urgent. So, I just want to make sure it's okay with you guys. And I'm I got to get in contact with the woman. But, um We don't know. Okay. Yeah, we're trying to figure out right now like a diaper bag situation. I'm not sure if he'd be willing to change his diaper or what, but I I have no idea what you guys are going to do, but his grandma's calling. Yeah, but you guys are great people for doing this. I know he doesn't deserve to go through it. So, hey Riley, how's it going? Can we talk to you? Yeah. How's How's everybody doing? We're good. Everybody's alive. Yeah, it's that's good. Alive. What's up, bud? So, he said Gates is coming back. Yeah, he is. Okay. What's going on? Did you you tested what was in there? Did you? So, as far as the drugs go, it's not something where we're going to charge anybody with it. Even if we wanted to. No, because not so here's here's the thing. When uh whenever we do these tests for them, it's like a stupid amount of money anymore. So, you know, it's that's because they tested me at the hospital and I it only um and came up in my system and they told Gates at the hospital that he was definitely like laced with something and but it didn't show you when they I don't know because she tested me very like later after I showed up. So whenever they do take the out and splice it in it's it's it's not always a perfect mix, right? So you could have a So I you guys were doing well what they were doing like was lines like it could have been a little bit. I put some I just didn't know that was a different cuz I didn't snort any. I put some in my mouth if it was like you're trying to be Superman. Oh yeah. I probably wouldn't touch you anymore obviously. I probably scared the crap out of you. You go in there and see your friends on the ground. Of course. I'm sure he had a good night with grandma either way. So, yeah, he did. He had a great night with grandma. He definitely did. Did Did they keep you there all night or did you come home in the morning? No. Yeah, they didn't keep me there all night. Came back. Yeah, he's in Penfield. He just got his food. He got Mexican. Oh, he probably went to that Monte Alban. Yeah. Yeah. So, that's not too far. It's like a 10-minute drive from here. So, yeah, he'll probably leave here in like 10 minutes, maybe. All right, sounds good. That wasn't too long enough. No one's in trouble for like the and like that, right? You you guys you went through a traumatic experience. We're not doing anything with that.
