say you're going to be under stop stop police get the out get out said get out heyy hey hey hey please please I've done everything for these kids man everything it's undeniable that not all parents are great but there are some who take bad parenting to a higher level some of them endanger their kids' lives without a second thought today we bring you seven cases of the worst parents ever caught on body cam no I just said I got these things on May 24th 2024 officers were dispatched to a school following reports about an intoxicated woman immediately upon arrival they find the woman arguing in the hallway with a staff member the officers approach her and she makes her introductions hello sir I'm Jamaica LT I'm not being given my right right okay you to leave I don't know I don't know she was not here for the present conversation so I will not like anything she given and I and I want to let you know she wasn't here for this present conversation the conversation was given that I was host and I down I got quiet I waited Williams came to me asked me was there a problem I'm like no my bab's on stage they're giving their presents they're giving their performance so now she didn't want to say what she really felt I felt what she wanted to say so I said what I thought her mind was saying she was the bush I never took away from my babies I wasn't that's my babies SP it didn't take too long for the woman identified as Jamaica lever to prove her intoxicated State the officers understand that the smart move now is to escort her out of the area before something goes wrong Jamaica however is not very happy with this development so no I will stand here I will stand here cuz this where man had me stand where I got [Music] that's not fair that's not fair he didn't give me that he didn't give me that this this man told me so are you saying that too are you saying that too now order yes that what you say so then I will comply and I will apply [Music] let's go go thankfully jica complied with the lawful order in the meantime an officer tries to get to the bottom of things a staff member introduces him to a young boy who had an unpleasant encounter with Jamaica tell him what she said to you about so she yell at me almost said the um aw and um she was like yelling at it like whenever I I came to my class I seen that they were already Happ in here so I ran to try to get in the line and then she yelled at me and um tried to say that um I hit her Amari just got out so all three of kids are that's no way to treat a child if her judgment's that clouded Jamaica must be pretty drunk outside the school the cops try to have a civil conversation with her but Jamaica keeps on rambling about the perceived Injustice done by the cops what is your name so we can conduct this investigation and get you your kids get it's very prevalent because that was not a concern question before was it not sir what is your name was it not sir here as a police officer I'm

reason to answer I have no reason to answer I have no for no hand nothing Jamaica says makes any particular sense and she's refusing to identify herself to the cops but for now she's not behaving too

arrest but with few options left the officers need to make a move take that our goal isn't our goal isn't to take the kids away we just need to know who she is from you here take this too take that

not too late it's not is it too late it's too late no that's not I miss Williams already said who I was well that was a quick change of tune all it took was a pair of handcuffs and Jamaica was ready to tell the officers everything they wanted to know unfortunately it is too late and now she sealed her fate the realization sets in and Jamaica has a fitting reaction no why are you arresting me obstru for What official business for the official business we were conducting what name my name my name is the official business no please say it on the camera say it on it's because I didn't get

one earlier she might have gotten off with a warning but she refused to cooperate and is now facing the consequence quences one of the cops questions her daughter and the daughter reveals some interesting details about the initial confrontation was she drinking yes she was with her boyfriend is that the boyfriend that's your stepdad yes okay and she was getting but she took a few drinks before we came because we she only got L because the principal kept coming up to her I'm like getting R in her face and pressing her and I TR for her to come down and do you do you understand why we're where we're at right now all we needed was a little bit of cooperation from your mother and we would have been we could have been done by now but the concern is if she has been drinking and she gets in the drive with the little children then that puts the Children at Risk too so we we can't we can't just let that happen Okay okay it's sad to see a child so sh en by her mother's Behavior then the officers call the kid stepdad to come pick them up when he arrives the cops decide to move Jamaica to the police van but she continues being difficult despite begging for mercy minutes earlier man we don't want to have to pull you out of the back of that car you will not never have to do that I Tre like a dog enough we don't want to do that treat like a dog step let step on out man let's go I will step and I will walk I am stepping and I am walking if I'm stepping and I'm walk into a felony okay we're trying toid that but I don't even know what the misdemeanor is and I a no he did not please don't do this and do what be a black woman excuse me excuse me I hope you hold your root shoot stop listen do what look back look back what I do I got anxiety I got I got no no I just said I got these things put him in the car get him away for me while Jamaica's been pretty annoying with her actions thankfully she hasn't attempted to physically resist however as she's being loaded up for transport she then decides to have an impromptu rap session I'm ask you for or the co okay what pen of paper did you got what I need pen of paper WR down who said my mind ain't more inclined your nose got a boogie must be real ugie no my dripping and looking nasty and I'll never let nobody sit there I asked for ordinance and the Cod ordinance and cod we have to go or and cold please I tell you what sir please don't be rough with me and just give me back of this swag I got oh you not get it thank you Jamaica was charged with disorderly conduct obstructing official business and failure to disclose personal information it just goes to show how bad an idea it is to drink while you're with your children you might end up traumatizing them as Jamaica did without a doubt now this one is a very unique case in April 2024 a concerned citizen called police in crae head County regarding a 7-year-old boy who appeared at his farm shop alone the boy sat down with the man and the cops drove out to meet him to find out why he was by himself how you doing buddy where you live at say what it's okay you can't remember I am going to my school you're going to school do you know where Valley is mhm going I do I'm here to help you this morning okay I was feeding and I just caught a glimpse come by the side of the barn I supposed to be somebody here you know now look this little guy he said he he says he missed the bus okay his mom told him he had to go to school where's your mama at I don't know what is she at home yeah but I don't know what so this little boy missed the bus this sometimes happens with kids but they usually aren't afraid to go back home and tell their parents why did he decide to walk instead of going home did did you talk to your mom this morning no she she she I got in trouble and then my mom said today you have to wake up on your own and try and get catch the bu if you no uh you should maybe maybe like now she doesn't want me to just she said like I'm like I got in trouble last night and then and then she said go to see I won't set your alarm club and she'll like me okay so you had to get yourself up today did you sleep in your bed last night inside the house it's not only strange but Pretty Reckless for the mother to force her young child to work everything out by himself naturally the officer thinks there's probably more to the story so he continues to question the boy did you uh did you ate breakfast this morning or anything are you hungry all right did you eat supper last night you didn't eat last night e she she said you're not going to eat eat supper and and she just and she said you just need to stay in your room for all night okay and I gu been doing my homework what did you get in trouble for remember oh you can remember was you being loud or something or not picking up a mess or running around maybe being boy maybe maybe just leaving my brother on a TR this is the story CU she just want me to she just didn't let me tell the story it's just terrible the boy was hungry and alone and too afraid to face his awful mother the officer play places him in the back of the car and then goes back to the farmer wanting to hear more details about his encounter with the boy first he told me he' been out all night and I'm like why have you been out all night you know then he said well it was kind of dark and I missed the bus and but at first he wouldn't tell me anything he was scared think yeah and I he like please just take me to school can't just take you to school buddy because you did the right thing col know there's actually a family at their house right now trying to figure out where he's at the man's right the boy was definitely scared and still is while the officer's talking to him another car appears it's the boy's neighbor who for some time now has been conducting an investigation of his own how you doing y wife it's our neighbor's kid she was driving down here this morning she called the police um and and um she picked him up he was walking she took him back home and she's been up there beating on the mom's door trying to get him to come to the door she said the kid went around to the back of their house and she's been she opened up the door she yelled inside we've called her cell phone We messaged her on Facebook door unlocked though doors unlocked she's up there at my house my wife's freaking the out she's like I don't know if this kid's went in the house and I was like honey I'm driving here to the house he said there's a cop down here and I see see a down make sure he didn't head back she said that his mom was going to get really angry if he didn't make it score while we're fixing the head over there it's very noticeable that both the neighbor and the farm shop owner have been acting as concerned adults showing their compassion and their willingness to protect this kid his mother on the other hand seems completely unconcerned the officers go to her house and call out to her but they get no answer whatsoever the door to the house is unlocked and something clearly is a foot Sheriff's Office sharff apartment in theed there sleep hey buddy shff office hey Budd hey police sheriff's office clear hey buddy what you where's where's your mom at sh huh Sheriff's Office Sheriff's Office hey stay in there buddy here go back to your room Sheriff's Office Sheriff Department Sheriff's Office this is quickly turning into a horror movie scenario two little kids asleep and an unresponsive mother who seems to be missing but did something really happen to the mother or was there another reason why she wasn't responding go hello Sheriff's Department Sheriff's Office how you doing I'm good how are yall I'm trying to figure out why your kids walking down to rooll by the Landfield on his own who which kid you're seveny old I don't know why he said you told him to uh get up and go to school on his own this morning he got in a lot of trouble last night and he got an alarm for um Easter well he missed the bus and he's scared of you so he scared of me took it amongst himself to walk all the way down by the Landfield he's scared of me okay I mean he can he can be scared of me all he wants he needs to be scared of me I'm I'm his parent that's his that's my job unbelievable the mother identified as Amber was sleeping without a care in the world and her 7-year-old son was walking alone and terrified what did this kid do wrong for this severe punishment she inflicted he um purposefully left his 2-year-old brother on a trampoline in the backyard by the pond CU he thought he he just like I said he wanted to be mean and left him on what's your birthday dat 822 90 so you think it's he also yelled you said 92 90 he also yelled at a teacher he also lied to me when he got home about what happened at school that day so I have got these patches on my face he also yelled at a teacher and then he tried to hide his report card when he got home it's been a home mess of stuff lately he also um did he get to eat supper last night cuz he told us he did not be dat up and that's the first time that has ever happened ever okay but when he left his 2-year-old brother because he said he wanted to go play with a cat yep and he left one of my other babies on a trampoline the more Amber explains the situation the less sense it makes how could she possibly think this was a good solution for the boy's misbehavior an officer asked the same question and Amber's only too eager to explain how right she is but but but with you being adult you can't expect a seven-year-old to give his full attention to twoy old kid yes I can when he says I want to play outside well come come come out front with us real quick well listen man we can just take you to jail for I didn't do anything you let an a get all the way across town that's a problem so don't say that we have an attitude no listen you talk this whole time don't say we have an attitude when your 8-year-old is walking down the street and we can't get a hold of you okay okay it's a problem the kid is starving right now staring you just said he didn't eat supper last night he he hasn't had breakfast either yes he did he had breakf he said he ain't even seen you this morning no he that was what he was told to do this morning this is the first you expect a seven-year-old to be an adult on his own are you serious this is absolutely the first time this has ever happened for him just hang tight up here just hang tight up here I'm piix call I'm fixing to call the child services the State Department of Human Services was calling to the residence where they discovered several bruises on the three-year-old's face arms and buttocks Amber's husband admitted to spanking the boy for lying Amber was arrested charged with second degree domestic battery of a child Under 12 and endangering the welfare of a minor hopefully the kids are now all right some parents have almost zero preservation Instinct and this can sometimes reflect very poorly on their children on September 15th 2023 an officer conducted a traffic stop on a car a traffic violation was committed and the child in the back seat was not wearing a seat belt immediately the suspect seems nervous thanks sir you your back window down for me a little bit where your seat belt on not funny it's going to cost him a lot of money it's not it's not funny the reason the reason I stopped is you stopped right there on the roadway and drop people off you can't drop people off on the roadway you have to go through like everyone else I've been doing there every day and I'm glad all right we get a license from you any uh registration please I think I my license you have the registration for the car went through a couple registrations I went right on that's one y this is a good one I'll take you you not suzan no sir that's my girlfriend sir you don't have you have a picture ID or anything no don't sir it's at it's at home in a while I was just Hur you know the number no I don't sir is it all yes sir sure the officer notices that something's definitely strange just in case he ask the suspect for the key fob to the car the suspect however isn't too Keen to just give it away and he's got a stupid idea on how he just might get out of this traffic violation so what's going on so why you got why we doing all this sir I'm saying we doing all this sir sir why are we doing all this right now sir it's totally make no we do this let me see the KE I'm not even going what we doing sir start me don't off [Music] is that a Maron for us and take off on me the suspect might think he's gotten away with it but it's only a matter of time until he's caught the officer knows this so instead of chasing after him he just goes to the house of the car's registered owner the owner of the car reveals a shocking fact about the suspect you said you just met this guy when did you meet him I met him off a tag huh I met him off of tag like about a month ago been talking on I don't know his full name now that he goes by RJ no he was just he came last night okay this is going to go from here to DCF because you're letting your children go with somebody that you don't even know which is not safe at all you're telling me you don't know him you tell me you don't know him he says his ID is in here unless I can get his ID then you'll be if I get his ID you'll be out of it all right it's a traffic ticket it's all it's going to be yeah I I see his gray bag I mean his green bag but I don't see nothing in it I need something with his name I don't know if you want to be out of this get me something okay hold on do you know is there any way to contact him by another police to see where his I don't know where he is oh you didn't find him the girl just called me and said he got pulled over there he almost did he TR took off just like the last story this thing's incredible the mother just let the suspect drive her children even though she barely knows him of course the officer's going to have to report this to the Department of Children and Family but this woman does not like the idea your ID stay here that's why he stayed here last night and he has your kids so well he came last night going be inv all right let me let me have your ID she kids right in her car yeah yeah yeah I know what do you think his name is I'm a great mom so you threat with um I'm not threatening with DCF I'm telling you what I'm going to do no threat I ain't never had no case ever all right well now unfortunately you have one I could I woke up rolling up this morning s my belly all night last night all right what uh what's um his name do you think I'm just known him as RJ RJ she let him drive her kids but she doesn't even know his full name and it wasn't only her child she was endangering this woman let RJ drive her friend's daughter too an officer calls her out for this crazy behavior your I knew I would tell you it's basic deductive reasoning it's basic basic deductive reasoning we deal with people that are full all the time and if you're you've been dating this guy for a month you're allowing him to take your daughter to school you just told me you've been dating for a month I said I met him a month ago on tag we've been talking here and there we have it like really got it like really got well the kids are saying that that's your boyfriend now the mom's saying that's your boyfriend they don't even know him how are you going to claim somebody I mean they know you right they know me but they been they know you enough to give to let your kid go in this car with this guy cuz I've been talking to him like I I trusted him why would you trust him is that your boyfriend no it's not my boyfriend he was doing me a favor this morning I ate something bad last night and it was on my stomach all night when I woke up this morning I was throwing up this morning that's why he took the kids to school for me cuz I was in the bathroom getting sick in This Woman's head everything in this explanation seems to be reasonable and rational but she never considered a hypothetical scenario where RJ who's basically a Strang danger could mean harm to her children in the meantime the child that was in the car with RJ was recovered and get this the suspect kicked them out you in the back of the car right when I who who ripped you out of the car no I didn't say that because I said because I thought you was trying to get me out of the car because you tried to stop it because he was trying to drive off in the traffic with me and then halfway down the street he told me to get out the car oh okay so nobody ripped you out of the car no no officer ripped you out of the car oh I I thought you told somebody they did no I said I thought you tried to okay who who was this that was driving the car um har who was it um the the lady boyfriend Mr boyfriend what's his name I don't know you don't know his name no why'd you get in the car with him because she I don't know she was um she told me to um go in him cuz I needed to ride to school cuz my mama don't let me walk the girl makes a few statements that indicate she's lying to the officer but why was she threatened by RJ the officer tries a calmer approach hoping to find out the truth and somehow learn RJ's identity you're not in trouble all right I'm just trying to figure out what what happened trying to figure out who this guy is all right he gives you guys a ride of school that's fine it's no this is his this is my first time getting a ride I me getting a ride from him but why did you tell me 3 minutes ago that he gave you a ride on the first day you told me that and then you said it was later than that no this is the first time but it's not because when a couple no like it was like in the like in August she was in she was driving the car though but he was in the car yeah he was on the passenger oh all right all right that's different so he didn't give you R to go she gave you R to go he was in the but today but today he gave us a ride cuz I don't think she was feeling good today okay did you did you get hurt or anything today were you scared what you what were you scared of because I a want to get it going to get in trouble I was in car the officers are done interviewing RJ's connections and are now on the hunt this takes about 3 weeks but they spot RJ at a gas station in the same vehicle with the same mother and this time they suspect a drug deals in progress don't move don't move sit still me get get the out out camera get out I said get out turn get in the car get back you get back too car you want some of this don't you go anywhere what you want shut up you want some of this too shut up and go your way goodbye goodbye 20 32 out go want nothing bro we just you don't want nothing do you I know that you was just leaving the window of that car how about you stay back how about you stay with me to I just watched you do a dope deal behind the car you got any dope on you you smell like weed this officer's got bigger problems than a bystander and elects to only give this guy a Stern talking to Meanwhile two cops question the mother she of course denies any wrongdoing or any deep connections with RJ oh my God I did not know that just pass what is that the buffet godamn I don't know what it was I know who you are now you know who I am and the next time I tell you to get away from my crime scene no no no boss man none of that shut the [ __ ] up the next time I don't give I don't give respected Me by putting

don't take me to jail not going to see him me like I did something WR you're free to go I appreciate you boss have a good day man yeah I appreciate that I will be seeing you no problem RJ was arrested interviewed and transported to another facility All Things Considered he doesn't seem to be taking his arrest too well but thankfully he does face the consequences of his actions without making too much of a fuss you are all set we stand up I got to Cuff you up Mr Williams hey you're all set can you stand up ready to transport feeling any better that's good turn around at least get some food in [Music] you I think you missed dinner time at the county so at least you got something good to eat in you RJ was arrested for a moving traffic violation fleeing alluding an officer assault on an officer and fraud impersonation the mother of the children could have made several better choices in her life starting with her choice of partner then working her way up to not letting him drive her child to school in February 2021 cops in Georgia received a call about two children who knocked on a stranger's door asking for a place to sleep they quickly respond and find the two young girls in the street what's going on ladies can you tell us what's going on where do y'all live huh you guys speaking any English yeah do okay so what's going on tonight um our my dad was just mad at us so okay where do you guys stay at where is that walkers in this neighborhood okay how far are we from there uh you want to look at yeah put on the maps yeah8 what Lane Walkers lane lane so what what happened tonight parents were just mad they were mad what no my dad was mad what was he mad for uh cuz he thought we ordered like food without his permission okay did anything happen no no he just yelled yeah he told to stay in the backyard outside yeah okay it's cold outside slightly raining and the girls are barefoot no matter what they did no child should be treated like this by their parents an officer puts the girls in his vehicle and reassures them trying to give them hope and a sense of safety so I'm going to have you hang tight for me real quick you guys comfy as comfy as can be yeah okay perfect dad you know I understand he might be mad and whether or not you guys did something wrong is kind of here and there he can't can't be doing that right that was kind of why I want to know how we got here tonight because you know going going and getting stuff out back you know it's raining it's wet it's cold you know I'm sure you guys would rather be inside where it's dry and warm right so we we can't be you know can't be doing stuff like that and so I'm going to kind of find out hopefully what's what's going on tonight how we got here I'll come back out again I just want to reiterate you guys aren't in any trouble nothing like that right um you guys didn't do anything wrong as far as I'm concerned nothing work can put out in the cold right the officer acted kindly and very responsibly with the girl secured it's now time to confront the parents the cops have their address and they're ready to get to the bottom of things hey I'm change Police Department the reason I'm here is do you know where your kids are right now oh uh I don't know my kids your kids you have you have kids yeah I I to they tennis playground so they're on the playground yeah because because of know what is yeah yeah yeah I know they they doing some beauty so they're doing some what beauty beautyy they they not not obey the parent control so I I'm I I make suspect to you go statement over there and then I call you come so I I always while the officer talks to the father a supervisor approaches the girls to confirm the story the girls reveal an interesting detail about their parents it's not the first time they've been punished this way are both of you okay y'all Hur in anyway this sort of thing happened before I can't hear you okay when was that it was like back in our own house okay where was that um in lawville in lawrenville okay how long ago do you think that was H what do you mean like was that this year last year a couple years ago in what dur in 2021 2021 okay did um was it this time of time of day too or no it was like like 9 or something okay did the the police come out on that one too we had aony yeah just she just stand in the no let me tell you why I'm here okay we got a call because somebody down the street said that your kids were knocking on their door asking asking to be able to sleep there okay your kids are with us they're safe they're they're in the warm now thanks to us but from what it sounds like to me is you put your kids out in the wet cold yeah because they ordered food well they stay the parents money still still yeah still the money I get okay where do you keep your money at Li I my and I I uh my yeah my my back there my back my the rice my back to back so throughout the explanation the father doesn't seem the least bit remorseful about his methods of instilling discipline but he suddenly remembers to ask about his daughters who were freezing scared mere minutes ago where where's my my is now they're with us they're fine right now they're warm and drive so what time did you let him out so live 1:00 1:00 yeah they watching TV they watching TV and I I said that I'm going to find the new a new car for my first daughter I established a new car A new what what's this uh fix car a sleeping bed T bed table while the father was talking his wife went around the back of the house to the front to hear the man explain the situation but when the officer approaches her to ask about the girls she offers a very simple excuse you want me to hang with them or yeah just got to hang hey are you Mom did you have have any idea that they were out of the house I don't know can you speak English I just Ed just a little bit okay did you know they were gone yeah do you you you knew they were gone why were they gone why what happened I I cannot speak English okay how convenient just as the officer was beginning to question her the mother's vocabulary failed her having exhausted this option the cops continue to speak to the father and they confront the man about something what time were you planning on letting them back here yeah hours 2 hours yeah okay 2 hours plan 2 hours so yes did this happen in Lawrenceville too at your house last year last year mhm in law Ville did this happen then too were you put him out on the balcony for 45 minutes oh no we we stay in lenville yeah mhm we moved to here did did this did this sort of thing happen in lawrenville too this uh no not not not this happening not sto the money not okay have have you punished him like this before in lawrencville no hearing his explanation it's easy to assume that the father not only believes that his punishment was justified but also reasonable and fitting there's very little left for the cops to do but to show the Father the consequences of his actions I need you go ahead and put your hands behind her back okay oh okay okay you her your phone you get him some shoes your daughters have shoes we're going to go straight to this car right here okay okay do you have anything in your pockets no all right ladies we're going to have you come on inside okay so come on out let's let's get you in the house sorry about that little ladies now the girls are finally back where they belong safe at home the mother didn't even hug them on their way in however if the mom thinks she's gotten off scott free she's got another

baby's now been secured now the officers proceed with Gathering info on Alexandra but after calming down after initial reaction Alexandra demonstrates an appalling lack of resp I have plenty of money to pay for my stay here I don't know why you're detaining me whatsoever I have not you at all attitude right now it's oh that's not illegal sir thank you so much the state of mind you're in is illegal

you but I've never been in trouble I want know trying to let you get in trouble either right now I just kind of want to know what it takes some time time and many challenging attempts to converse with Alexandra but the officers finally get a hold of a usable phone number and call the father of her baby a patrol car is sent his way with questions at the ready but there's only one thing the man cares about bottom line my son is okay son's okay wife's okay you can tell me with officer for I'll explain everything you's here everyone's good right now okay I'm here with the officer right now okay perfect y if you can come over here just so we can figure everything else out okay yes sir thank you very much thank you y first name Michael Matthew Matthew Matthew that's okay off I kind of figured because I've been trying to get a hold of her for three hours now I got and I I got a hold of her probably 30 minutes ago and she said she was on her way home and I asked her I said are you intoxicated she started laughing and joking and saying no I'm not drunk same time gotcha don't with my child sorry I love that woman to death but that's my child and no completely understand I dad myself what you need to do with her she needs to learn a lesson she's she's more than welcome to go with you but we just want to make sure the child at the end of the day is okay yes absolutely do you need a ride over there do you want to drive over there I can drive my okay yeah Matthew seems to be a responsible dad and he's understandably disappointed by his wife but what about the bystander who made the call the whole situation must have looked very disturbing because she clearly felt the need to call the cops okay I was coming home and I came into my garage at 2 City okay what a I'm just I'm not wired it's okay take your time I'm not wired that way you're fine we appreciate you calling I could not we so I so anyway she there's two entrances on two city right right so she starts walking in and Louis is the parking attendant and we love Louis I'm and I have a thing and she said to me he said Tracy what's and I see this girl walking up but now it's a hill to come out to Trinity and she's walking from that the baby was like a rag dog like a rag dog MH and LS got very upset and he says are you where are you from he goes I live here sit she goes I don't know you what what number you know right so he didn't want to have a problem but he called the front desk to City he just knows his job you know and I said you know what let me take my car and come through to Trinity and see if I can helpy she's lost money I don't know I I saw this child in a pamper understand you know like it's the coldest water of to day you know look how you're dressed and I'm like okay and she told me to go off from everything we've seen so far it's pretty obvious that Alex Andra is very drunk but the witness suspects there's something more serious at play she continues telling her story revealing some shocking details but she didn't seem drunk it was like she was on drugs or something I don't know and I said ma ma'am I'll help you you know the baby it's it's cold yeah so when I pulled up oh it's all going to be on camera in the Hilton on the camp has to be okay when I pulled up I drive a Navy um convertible and and I H up and the baby no exaggeration I can't even make this it was off the curb crawling like by the yellow line and the cars like that and where was she at like so the baby was crawling in the street the baby was in the street when I pulled up that child was crawling in the street in front of the hotel but there has to be surance okay and I and then she scooped him up I go ma'am let can I help you you know is the baby giving you a problem you know let me see if I and she told me off and then she started walking this way Alexandra has definitely earned the title of horrible mother it's immensely lucky that the baby's life was saved due to the witness's quick response and it's more than understandable why the witness is so stressed Matthew finally arrives and he's not happy where where do we think Mom was so Mom is was supposed to be at a friend's house at one city uh Towers up one city Towers okay um she was supposed to be at a friend's house they were having a little play date after she picked up they both picked up their kid from school okay um they go to a mon school on the Dixie and just I don't know the name of the school but it's just by the P tropical on Dixie and just nor south of forsale I believe um and she went over there play and they were supposed to be playing with their kids I've been trying to get a contact with her since 4:00 I can show you my phone records text messages last text message I sent to her trying to figure out dinner for him yeah please let me know what's going on for for him so he can eat I need to know last text message I sent her hey give me my son back so that way he can eat dinner and you can go do what you want to do well at least Matthew cares about the well-being of his son now the cops are ready to wrap things up but Alexandra once again seems clueless and completely lost which demonstrates her current state of mind what's going on here stand up for me I don't know who you are what's going on my name is Officer Smith will you stand up what did I do no I won't for one moment what did I do you're being arrested for what for your child crawling in the middle of the street no my child was not crawling in the middle of the street where's my husband your husband took the baby maybe he went home he was huh my was not in the middle we have a witness that states otherwise here I'm taking this off Alexandra was charged with felony child neglect this woman should forever be thankful that her son made it out safely and that a concerned citizen brought this matter to the attention of the cops that being said given Alexandra's Behavior maybe it's better if Matthew takes over for now on March 7th 2024 A call came in regarding alleged domestic abuse a concerned neighbor heard the altercation and made the call the cops arrive on scene and question the female victim and mother of three but the boyfriend appears to be gone they find the man outside and confront him hey question for you is that your uh my partner got some questions for you Qui what your name Michael yeah Michael so like I said I'm officer wi officer now so we got body cameras on we're here for a wellbeing check uh a neighbor had called saying that they were hearing an argument going on or anything like that yeah like two hours ago yeah you explain to me what was going on with that man no my son was U laid off the bus he was just arguing about that your son was laid off the bus and you just having like a verbal argument about that and stuff like that what what um what was there to argue about in terms of the bus my um I was trying to call a school and everything call the first uh what is it called First Student okay okay so you on you were on the phone MH were you arguing with um with Mara or anything about yeah yeah earlier what was going on with that nothing really use his AR the suspect identified as Michael seems rather unconcerned while explaining his actions the officers question him about the reported argument he tells the officers that he took his girlfriend's phone but nothing yet about any physical assault did anything get physical no no nothing got physical or anything like that no cuz she was like it was just being told like I said I'm just reiterating what I heard right that uh you kind of pushed her away a little bit just that like when I was trying to leave out yeah right right right right so you kind of just you know she was she said she was like blocking the way yeah you were trying to leave out that's your right to leave right and then you just kind of left and you kind of pushed her face a little bit or something like that no I just pushed her out the way just pushed could you could you explain did you push like her upper body her lower body or I just like watch out like a shoulder nudge or something like that no no okay push I just like I'm going leave it now okay where where do you think your hand touched her if it did like in the chest the chest area Okay anything else did you put your hands on her any other way no no okay I got you well there it is the man's admitted to pushing his girlfriend the cops have everything they need to make the arrest but Michael who's calmly smoking a cigarette might not like this development well I need you to put turn around put your hands behind your back for a minute okay what CU you're going to be under arrest stop police stop police come on man come on dude I'm on put your hands behind your back right now I am put your hands behind your back do not fight you I'm not we're in the back all right let's get some CS down come on dud what what was that come on man I got dunin all right man I got I got to I got one second oh man I resist no more bro I know man all right all right bro let's get up man this situation certainly took a turn for the unexpected but thankfully Michael didn't manage to hop that fence in time his attempt to run made little sense which an officer helpfully points out that was dumb yeah come on man what your running forward for I don't know's man go rest for though domestic battery what come come on man you better than that you pull my pants up man we got you man you're fine right now hold on hey hey it's coming down your pants it's coming down bro I get it man but I don't need you digging in your pants I don't know what you I search on man my you not saying about it nobody right now man all right go walk to my squad car so far this case has been standard procedure he committs a domestic battery so he's now going to jail it might be argued that he still might get away with this considering all he did was push his girlfriend however when the officers move to search Michael Everything Changes drastically I man you got anything on you that's going to stick me stab me poke me hurt me in any sort of way no no no needles drugs anything all man you got n around your waistband anything all right what this what is this right here that's a g yeah I felt it man that's what I'm saying I felt it so can't tell me what it wasn't don't I know man I know you're not I got come on man you knew better than that car is it loaded um maybe hey anything else no sure man yeah thank you for not grabbing that I want grab it would have been dangerous if you did the officers have found a gun on Michael they already knew he left the house after assaulting her and taking the woman's phone now they know he came back with a gun did the cops just prevent a murder an officer inspects the gun and finds a good indication of what it's for did that go through oh that's it's cuz it's the face oh it's just it's scratched off so the gun obviously the SE H number is the face so you're going have another charge with that we're just waiting for your crial history to come back um how long have you had that gun from well probably about 3 days 3 days who'd you get it from Devon Devonte um all right so obviously the scratching off right when when did you do that what was what was the deal with that scratch off the serial number I never did nothing like that okay so so I'm going to let you are are you familiar with guns no really okay so I'm very familiar with guns there's multiple serial numbers okay so we're just going to grab one of the other ones and run it so obviously people scratch off serial numbers on any kind of item especially pistols right we know them pipes usually come back stolen is that going to come back stolen once you find that second one I don't know you're not sure okay the serial numbers of the gun are completely gone guns without serial numbers are often used in violent crimes Michael told the officers that he bought the Gun 3 days before the arrest but it might not come back clean from examination Michael's taken to jail and they continue asking him about the gun so with the pistol the uh obvious the serial number scratched off when did you know it was scratched off I don't even know what you're talking about bro I don't I don't even know what you're talking about okay like like the big scratching on the bottom of it you know what the serial number is on a gun like when you buy a gun you know serial numbers on I'm I'm not I'm not saying you scratched it off right okay I think somebody else probably scratched it off right but all I'm trying to say is like when you got the gun it's like do you notice like that's scratched off or like like like what did you notice I I I know I know you did oh I still don't even know you how much did you pay for the 600 600 holy what 600 for pistol is it like is it Go PL Michael was charged with domestic battery resisting or obstructing a peace officer domestic dispute and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon the cops were truly Heroes that day having possibly prevented a murder from happening by arresting Michael just in time many people can have a party phase that can last for years on end but but eventually they move on to different things in life some however never outgrow it in September 2023 the cops responded to a residents following reports of a little boy crying in the middle of the street hey buddy hi where do you live here is it unlocked or is it is the door open how did you get outside door's open door's open anybody home with you no no what's your name Trace all right Trace what's your dad's name gray tman gray No Gray like the everg grad but Glade oh I like that Glade tman do you know Dad's phone number he don't have a phone no phone he lost his phone okay does he what does he drive what kind of vehicle does he drive um a red r a a red R mhm who else do you live with I live with my two sisters my dad and my mom is in Louisiana so okay where's your sister's um my one is at my boyfriend's house mhm I mean her boyfriend's house and then the other one is at her other boyfriend the boy's entire family is missing it's pretty strange and we wonder who abandoned him was it his father or were the sister supposed to take care of him and instead decided to spend time with their boyfriends whatever the case the boy shouldn't have been left like this did your dad leave first or did your sister's leave first my sister's left first okay did your dad tell you where he was heading mm-m no did he say how long he was going to be gone he didn't talk to me he didn't talk to you he just left yeah okay do you remember how long ago he left m- no okay so what happened why' you come outside were you looking for them or yeah yeah is it this house here yeah okay are there any phones inside or any Chargers inside where we can get your phone charged up and call your sisters yeah there is all right show me where where's the house where's the door so his father left his son alone without any concern whatsoever it's like he expected this kid could take care of himself the officer speaks to the witness who called police she's helpfully sharing her point of view so I was um on my golf car doing on even drive and I see him in the middle of the street literally in the fourway crying and I didn't pay attention I thought maybe he was like something had happened to him but I didn't even bother to stop you know I was like okay he got scared or something whatever I got home dropped off my golf cart and um I come here and I pick a bimbo and I come here and I'm like what's wrong sweetie and he's like crying and he's like my dad my dad and I'm like where's your dad and he's like he left and I don't know where he is okay he um I'm like what's going on like is nobody home he like no nobody I came home I came home from playing with um can you put me back on down the neighbors and he mentioned that he like I think he's probably a Caribbean Club um and he has a he's mentioned he has a red Dodge Ram with yellow lights I think on the bottom okay red Dodge Ram all right I'm so I asked them like are you hungry can I order pizza from you like he has there's dinner in there and everything yeah the fact that the father's probably partying and Downing shots at the club makes this even worse one of the boy sisters arrives and while she is cooperative she doesn't seemed to have her priorities in order which is probably something she learned from her father I was at my boyfriend's house how long ago did you leave uh about a while ago but what is this all about like can did I just speak to you or your sister spoke to me so somebody this lady here found him in the middle of the street what were you doing Trace I was in the middle of the street okay but what were you doing outside at night crying why why were you crying okay hey hey hey hey hey hey hey take it e on him don't be upset with him before you know what happened I'm not upset with him it's just like he why would he go outside the house in the middle of the night okay how about we ask other questions why was he left alone see I don't I don't know that I don't want to speak until my Dad's here correct so don't be upset with him I'm not fig out he should know better he knows not to go outside at night he knows that okay let's wait till we figure out what happened with your dad first does he normally have friend's house that he goes to around in a neighborhood yes but I don't know where some he has like a friend down here this street friend at the End of the Street the sister here should learn about responsibility instead of confronting her little brother for leaving the house she's apparently suggesting that it's her younger brother that made the mistake and while the kid might know that he shouldn't go outside alone in the middle of the night their father should also know that you shouldn't leave a young kid at home without adult supervision some time passes and the father finally shows up that's your father right hello yes sir ma'am ma'am hi sorry F can you stay here for me a second hi my name is Deputy can you put this down for a second yeah all right my name is Deputy f with the Sheriff's Office okay all right so someone found your son he was just walking around um he came home and there was no one home my daughter was home no there's no one here we called him okay when you left the house where was he he was going going to be home I went to my friend house and I thought my daughter was home she's 18 she's an adult right but when you left the house who was here all right hang on yeah I'm in trouble no no no no buddy I'm in trouble come here Budd because my my daughter's an adult 18 all right here come this way with me uh Lennon what lenon to come on Len it didn't take long for the father to show some clear signs of intoxication but he seems to clearly understand that he's in big trouble trouble it's clearly a given that this Situation's due to irresponsible parenting and the officer here exhibits incredible protectiveness towards the little boy I don't want you to scare your son okay I don't want him to think he's in trouble I don't want him to cry well I don't I shouldn't be in trouble no I said I don't want you to scare your son I don't want him to think he's in trouble right here okay all right can you tell me what happened what do you want to know so just tell me what happened who did you leave in with where did you go we had a dinner party here we cooked 12 Lobster shrimp scallops pork everything and I had to give somebody a ride home and my daughter was here I didn't know she left so I went and now I'm coming home and do you know how long you've been gone about 45 minutes where'd you drop this person off I don't know the address M Mark of 100 okay that's about a mile away from here not far no so what happened in that 45 minutes I hung out for a little while at my friend's house okay the father just admitted that he neglected this boy he'd spent 45 minutes hanging out with his friends instead of caring for his child probably hoping to look good to the cops he suddenly feels the need to list all of his accomplishments to the officers I'm just trying to figure out no I slipped I'm I'm a single father with so custody of three kids okay for n years when I divorced my wife and I do the best I can do all my kids have straight A's she's doing two years of school she's doing her senior year and her junior year in one year okay and getting out they got jobs they all got braces I do the best I can do I slip I can't tell I can't I'm not going to lie to you and tell you I'm fantastic no don't no you don't have to be fantastic I'm not I'm not going to tell you I'm fantastic no one's fantastic and I'm maybe perfect no one's but I had all my kids here and we just had a big dinner party we just ate scolar shrimp steak everything your daughter here and said she's been gone since about 3 or 4:00 absolutely not so she's not telling the truth why would she lie to me if he's such a caring father why would this guy suddenly decide to ruin all his good efforts to party with his friend he also could have made sure that his daughter was there before he left and make sure she was watching her younger brother no matter how hard he tries he doesn't seem able to present himself in a good light they don't have a mom and I took Soul cussy of all my kids seven almost eight years ago they all got braces they all got college funds they all got straight A and B and listen and and I'm doing the best I can so yes I slipped I'm sorry okay so you didn't tell anyone that you really I didn't I'm not going to lie to you I did not and you don't know who was actually here when you left if there was anyone I didn't know I was going to be gone that long I thought I was just dropping somebody off one thing led into another yeah okay I'm not going to lie to you Ma'am all right I'm doing the best I can do it's obvious that Landon here is trying to get off with a warning but since he clearly went out to get wasted his a good dad Act is not going to work on this protective officer now it's time for this guy to get introduced to a shiny pair of handcuffs sir so due to what happened today you are going to

before he left with his friend and though it's been proven that the good dad act doesn't work he still takes time to enumerate more of his good qualities on the way to jail my yall treat me like a criminal and I'm really a good dad I'm really a great dad all my kids got straight A I got my daughter's heading to college a year before schedule they all got races I'm a great dad and and and I

my job I'm not allowed well I'm a crane operator throughout his rant the man failed to understand that even if it's true he's a great father he still committed a mistake that exposed his child to various threats a lot of bad things can happen when there's nobody to watch over a young child he arrives in jail where the magnitude of his arrest finally seems to set in I'm not resisting I got SE I'm not a criminal my kids I love my kids I do everything for them we all do have SE why couldn't you just say please be more careful next time I don't know if there's a next time I don't know if this is a first second or third time listen it's not but I'm not here to determine that all right put your foot in yes ma'am I'm telling you I am a fantastic and you're destroying my whole career my job everything Landon was charged with child neglect and resisting an officer no matter what Landon just couldn't realize a simple truth as a parent you cannot afford to slip up like this and that's especially true when the slip up is a direct result of your foolish decision-making the parents in these cases have been nothing short of a narcissistic Bunch worrying more about their own happiness or displaying cruelty rather than caring for their children's well-being children make mistakes but that's to be expected grown-ups on the other hand should do better
