I open the gate and a lady sitting there holding a baby, and she's, you know, in tears. She's just bawling. I'm like, "Ma'am, is everything all right?" And she's like, "No, this lady picked up my baby and just threw him in the water." I'm like, "Oh, shit." I'm like, "Do you know her?" Like, "No." I'm like, "Can your baby swim?" She's like, "No, my baby's a baby. She just picked him up and threw him in there with no regard." I'm like, "That seems weird." The lady in question was actually talking to my 10-year-old. My son walks up to me and I'm like, "Uh hey, man, is everything okay?" He's like, "No, the lady took Kai's goggles and she kind of threw them in the deep end." So, I just asked him politely. I said, "Hey, man, will you go get those goggles?" You know, my son can't swim. "Oh, he can swim." I'm like, "No, ma'am, he can't. I'm his dad. I would know if he could swim or not." She grabbed him, she took him, and she threw him out of the pool across the the field and she's like, "You go get him." I'm like, "Okay." We go to leave, she gets out the pool, she kind of gets up in my face. She's like, uh "I don't see what the problem is." I'm like, "You don't see what the problem is? Picking up a complete stranger's baby and throwing them into the pool?" She's like, "Well, he ain't complaining." I'm like, "The baby?" So, she she tried to touch him. I'm like, "Man, please don't touch him." But then she went back to the pool and just as she's walking back in, that's when the the deputy showed up and Hey, what's up, man? I like your hair. Let's start there. There's a woman, she's like, I don't know if you'll see her, but she's something she's off her rocker, she's strong. >> He was sitting on the steps and she picked him up and tossed him in the pool. She tried to steal your kid or She threw my baby, yeah. She's basically like being weird, like, you know, annoying us, but we're like being nice to her. And then she was like, She came and sat down by us, took he was sitting, took him and tossed him into the pool. And then she admitted it and said it doesn't matter. >> She said he wasn't upset, he doesn't seem to care. I said, "Listen, man, please go over there and leave us alone." And she just kept She's like, "I was thrown in the pool, I'll follow you back." Really touch other people's kids. Okay. So, she was throwing her kids in the pool. Okay. Without consent? Without consent? Would you want to press charges for her throwing your kid in the pool? I mean, I I don't really care, but like I care >> want to know if she lives here. >> want to know where We think there There be some mental instability. You got it.

Yeah, luckily I was in the pool with him, but he was very confused. >> she was just like mentally unstable, so she thought it was like funny or I don't know.

And I said, "Sir, man, will you grab my son's goggles? He can get them himself." I said, "Well, he can't swim. That's why he's in the shallow end." Okay. >> She like, "Oh, he can't swim?"

Are you pursuing charges for that, or do you want to just see if we can get her evaluated? >> just Okay. Get her some help and get her away from my kids. Okay. Don't worry to be fair to her. Something wrong. Hey, excuse me. Let me out of here, please. Please unlock my door. I'd like to get out of here, please. So, they don't want to pursue charges for the battery.

And if it's not, then whatever. >> Eileen was charged with felony child abuse [music] and resisting an officer without violence. She pleaded no contest to felony child abuse and did not enter a plea for resisting without violence due to not being able to stand trial for that charge. Her felony child abuse charge resulted in adjudication withheld, meaning the judge accepted her no contest plea but did not formally convict her. Eileen was sentenced to two years of probation. Do you know how fast a child can drown? In about 30 seconds and it doesn't even take a pool, just a couple inches of water. So when someone throws a child into a pool and then shrugs it off like it's nothing, that's not a misunderstanding, that's a judgment problem. What stands out to me isn't just the arguing with police, it's this. She put her hands on someone else's child, not her kid, not an emergency, a decision. And we noticed the parents didn't even want charges and it's odd but that doesn't always mean they weren't upset. Sometimes it means they wanted their child safe and their life quiet, not months of court with someone who's unstable and knows exactly who they are. In Florida, battery doesn't require a bruise or broken bone. If you intentionally touch another person or a child against their will, that alone can qualify. The problem isn't whether the child got hurt. The problem is an adult decided to take a safety risk on behalf of someone who had no ability to say no or save themselves. As far as the arrest goes, once officers realized this wasn't a conversation about opinions anymore, it became a custody and safety issue. Most [music] police calls don't start with evil. They start with a small decision made in a moment where pride speaks louder than judgment.
