I was sleeping. I said, "I went to go look for her." I saw her walking in Marisella. I said, "You're going back. I'm already in court for a hike with her." So, I brought her back. She was in the kitchen cleaning. Her and I were arguing. That's all that happened. >> Those suburbs. >> Yeah. >> You guys are just seen. The granddaughter's down there. She thinks you're here. >> If we bring the granddaughter back, is this just going to escalate things? >> You don't know. Is there anywhere?

Remember, domestic disputes involving minors often require officers to prioritize immediate safety and temporary placement. Alcohol related disturbances can escalate quickly and lead to multiple legal consequences. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. That situation felt chaotic from the start. Glad the teen had a safe place to stay. You can see how fast things escalated once officers arrived. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision [music and bell] that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming.

Only thing only thing in the house. >> I don't know how that works, but like everything was bought in his name, but like we bought it together. Does that make sense? >> No, that's all.

Everything's okay right now, but what do you know of the situation? >> I don't know. Maybe I assume maybe he was asleep and she went over just to hang out for maybe 20 minutes and then extended the time. I don't know. >> Okay. Um I really don't I know she doesn't leave him like that a lot. >> Okay. But she does >> I don't know that. I'm sorry. You know I I that could be the is the you know scenario but I don't I'm not aware of that. >> Okay. >> But I what I can tell you is that I can I can try to be there in the next 20 minutes to get him. I don't take him. >> It's okay. >> I don't know the extent of the issue. I don't want him to go to CPS. I I would prefer him to come with me if that's an option. >> Officers explain child welfare procedures and discuss custody options with family members. >> We'll see. >> I don't mean no disrespect, but how long has your sister been battling what she's battling right now? >> I don't know. What is Well, she is not fully mentally there. >> Okay. What do you mean by that? >> She is mentally if that makes sense. >> Okay. So she does things that she makes it makes sense to her. >> That's not completely okay at all. Completely at all. >> Okay. In reference to the child, what have you seen her do that you don't find to be normal or find to be out of the ordinary >> to be honest? Nothing really. The only thing that really concerns me is sometimes, you know, when she gets over, you know, she just be like overly loud with him. like she'll yell at him. >> Okay. >> Not like just because she has a hard time like getting rid of her frustration. Like she's never hit him or she doesn't harm him. She's a really good mother. I just don't understand. >> Can you help me by calling CPS and finding out if she has any history? >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And I've told her like, "Dude, if you need help, reach out to me." We have older sister. She knows that if she's struggling, she's going to ask someone for help, >> right? I don't understand why she would do this and it's so upsetting. I already have [laughter] I have my whole situation, you know. I have four kids. I have one who's has special needs. >> Mhm. [snorts] >> I don't know. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

And we were in here for at least an hour. >> Officers continue evaluating supervision decisions and household safety conditions. >> Who's we? >> Me and two other people. >> Okay. >> Two other adults. >> So it wasn't until 11:00 that you left then? >> Yeah. >> What was your thought behind that? >> I didn't think I was going to be there very long. >> Okay. >> I didn't realize it was longer than it was. >> What were y'all doing? >> Just chatting. >> Okay. What was the reason for leaving then? just to hang out over there. I guess >> why not stay here since you have a child here. >> I guess I wasn't I probably should just let them go back home. >> Okay, >> that's what I should have done. >> We're inside of your house right now. You if you don't want to, you don't have to talk to me or anything like that. I do have a couple other questions for you. You're not detained. You're not under arrest right now, but I do want to read your constitutional rights before I ask you a couple questions. Is that okay with you? >> Sure. >> Okay. What did you do today? >> I went to work. >> Uhhuh. I took the daycare and I picked him up around 3ish. >> Okay. >> Hung out here. We hang out here. We went over to their house all together. >> Okay. >> For a little bit and then I left for uh this group called Celebrity Recovery. >> What's that? >> I went to I went to a group called Celebrity Recovery. >> Okay. >> In Pasco. >> So today you you went to work.

At 8. >> Yeah. I left at 8. Um dropped him off. >> Mhm. >> And then rode the bus and then I had to come back. I checked on my dogs. >> Mhm. >> Officers determined the child was left without adequate supervision for a period of time for him. >> Is that at the point at that he brings you a product and needs assistance in getting it? >> Yes. So, do you think that he could have grabbed it and helped himself to it or fed himself that product with what you just said? >> Not exactly. I don't think. >> Does he have access to water? >> There's water right there. >> And can he bite it off? >> Yeah, he bites it off to drink some also some >> What about if something happened inside the home? Well, we'll make it something minimal that it it would have been crummy, but really no danger to for the most part to him. What if the toilet started overflowing? >> No. >> And he need and he wanted to leave. Could he have been able to leave the apartment? >> No. He would have struggled a little bit. >> Can you speak and ask for help? Like let him know who you are. Let him know who he is. >> Can you say your name? >> Probably not. >> No. >> But he would know who I am. >> He can point you out. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. All righty. Where is Sierra? >> I'm Sierra. >> Perfect. Hi Sarah. I'm officer with Kawwick. We spoke on the phone. >> Yes. I can speak outside if that's okay. >> Do you need to speak to me outside? No, but I mean we can talk inside. I just wanted to have the update outside just so I can talk to you about the situation. >> Officers place the parent under arrest and arrange for the child to be released to a relative. >> Okay. >> Just to see where we're at. You know, I'm not too sure. >> What's happening right now is that she is going to be placed into custody for failure to supervise a child. What with that said is that traditionally with CPS's involvement, if she agrees to it, you can have temporary custody of the child or she can transfer it for now because you are biologically related and it's okay with her. Okay. If she says no and that's her decision, then we go the other route. >> Yes. >> So, that's the conversation I was about to have with her. >> Okay. >> It's okay. Um I try and call my older sister >> cuz yes, I do want to take him tonight and I do want but she'll probably take over custody of you know >> Well, for now you are. >> Yes. Yes, I'm fully I She has the car seat for him. >> Okay. Where's the car seat? >> It's inside. >> Inside. Perfect. >> She has two. >> All right, that's perfect. >> I mean, I assumed that she was going to get arrested, but um if we can when she does get arrested, if I could just take Carter so he doesn't see that. >> I was going to have her step outside, then you can stay inside with him, so that's okay. Any other questions for me? >> Well, do you guys know how long he was left? >> How long he was left alone? At least an hour. That's at least how long he'd been crying. That doesn't determine how long he was alone cuz he may have been sleeping during that. woke up at some point, found out he wasn't anybody was home with him. That's when he started crying. So, at a minimum of an hour. >> Okay. >> All right. Well, let me speak to >> Tiara. Tiara, can I speak to you here over here, please? I'll speak to you right outside. Okay. So, I'm be very frank with you. Okay. You're going to be placed under arrest for failure to supervise of your child. Okay. >> Why? >> For failure to supervise your child. Officers arrested the parent for failure to supervise a child after determining the child was left alone for an extended period. The charge was based on neighbor reports, officer observations inside the apartment and the parents own timeline statements, remember welfare checks, rely on witness timelines, access to the residence, and the ability of a child to meet basic needs alone. Law enforcement may involve family members and child welfare agencies when supervision concerns arise. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. Glad neighbors spoke up when something didn't seem right. This shows how officers pieced together timelines. Tough situation handled step by step. The tension is already high, or so it seems.

The kids are here. >> The three kids are inside. >> I think that's her right here by the vehicle down. Both him and her left. >> Officers speak to the woman who is unsteady and shows signs of intoxication. She refuses to identify herself, initially complicating the investigation. Um, some people called in and said you're extremely intoxicated and drove away. >> So, my name is Officer Gillicuy. Okay. So, I'm just here to talk to you about what's going on tonight.

Well, you said you do have a license on you or you don't. >> Do you have a license? >> Okay. Do you have a license? Yeah. >> She refuses field sobriety tests and is informed her refusal could lead to arrest. Conversations continue about who is caring for her children. >> DUI investigation.

Passers by and bystanders question her parenting as she argues with officers and refuses to cooperate. Cuz I'm a parent and I would never leave my kids drunk in a hotel with people I don't know. Do you even know who your kids are with right now? Huh? Do you even know who your kids are with right now? >> No. Sit in my car. >> Don't touch me. >> Don't Don't jerk away from me. >> Don't touch me like that. >> Don't jerk away from me. >> Don't touch me like Listen.

Slide slide this way. Come on. There you go. There you go. All right. But while we're standing here in the process, I'm going to explain a little bit of stuff to you. Okay. So, battery family violence, okay, is when you cause visually visible bodily harm to someone, okay, that indicates to me that the the bruising on his hands are self-defense wounds. Okay, >> I didn't hit >> Okay, so listen, I'm not telling you you did. This is all for a judge to decide. Okay, but when it comes to family violence, >> you mean flip it off? >> Yeah.

All right. >> A little bit. >> What's today? Today's Sunday. >> So, first parents already done. So, tomorrow >> So, tomorrow noon. tomorrow sometime around noon one or twoish they will uh you will see first appearance and you'll be able to have a bond set. Okay. But as far as the bond you are going to have bond conditions which means that you can either come here if if he if he wants you here then you're allowed here. If he doesn't want you here then you're not allowed to come back because it's from my understanding that you do not have custody of your daughter. >> I do not but I am on the lease. >> Lean forward. Lean forward. Being on the lease does not matter. Okay. Depending on what kind of bond conditions they set, that's going to determine everything. From my understanding, when defax transfer owners or not ownership, >> I well, I signed the paper. >> Okay. So, that but either way it goes. Okay. So, you're done. Here you go. Let me see. There we go. You coming back here, that is also up to a judge, but also I am going to advise him of his TPO rights. Okay. You know what a TPO is, correct? >> Yes, sir. It is a temporary protection order which means that you are not allowed to come near him nor that baby until all of this is resolved in court because y'all both of y'all will have a court date. >> So he has the right to say no to that. >> I'm sorry. >> He does he have the right to like not okay that or >> to say to I'm sorry. >> Can he say yes or see? >> No. >> So >> no. Once it is set by a judge and there is a TPO in place there is no exceptions whatsoever. He can't like >> the only person. >> The only reason I'm asking >> No, they can they can come to court, but he's probably not going to end up bringing the child to court. >> No, no, no. I'm saying the only reason I'm asking is cuz when I was there, not there, but I was at I was at court for something else and I was there was a lady that was court um and they were talking about same thing, I guess, and her husband or something her got into an argument and he went to jail and she was requesting that that be, you know, disregarded or something or dropped. So that is at the judge's discretion. >> The judge can either grant or deny that. Okay? If the judge grants it, then that's fine because that's a judge's decision. Okay? But if he denies that, there is no going back. >> All right. >> So what if what if say I'm, you know, all the things go in blah blah blah and everything? >> Let me let me do this. I No, you're fine. You're fine. I got a few things that I got to do. I'll answer all your questions as soon as I get done. Let me let me get some things done that I got to get done real quick and then I'll come back and I'll talk to you. >> Bring me a drink of water. Just >> I I will I will see. Okay. I will see. All right. >> What my job is to do is not to say whether you did or whether you did not. My job is based off of fiscal evidence. Okay? The bruising on his hands and his testimonial evidence that he told me on body cam matches what my eyeballs are seeing. That's yeah, I get that. I'm sorry. Like I just don't understand how they really got there. Like y'all react. Like I know you you know I'm not saying that. I'm just questioning in my brain like how and what in the world, >> right? And >> he is on blood thinners and he's 64 years old. So like he bruises easily and things like that, but like I know that you know you're good evidence and things like that. I'm not saying that. I'm just I guess I'm just thinking out loud. She was charged with battery and cruelty to children in the third degree. Remember, domestic incidents can lead to arrest decisions based on visible injuries and statements at the scene. Protection orders are commonly discussed to reduce further conflict while cases move through the court. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. This situation seemed to build up over a long time. The officer spent a lot of time explaining the process. Sad to see family disputes reach this point. You think this call can't get worse? The body cam captures the exact second officer's rush in comment. If you felt that spike, the next incident is when mom finally loses it after siblings won't stop fighting over work. >> I didn't point it at her. I gave it to her by the blade. Told her to me. Told her to me. What are you doing smoking? >> I've been smoking since I was 15 and I am not going to quit. >> He started hitting her and she was hitting him. >> You're so just like >> on October 30th, 2024, officers responded after a sibling argument escalates inside the home involving a pregnant sister and their mother stepping in. >> What the hell's going on? >> Um, well, my sister works lives here cuz she got pregnant.

Tell her to put your fingerprints on it. Stab me. >> Okay. She wants to say I'm on drugs. I'm not on any drugs. Sober as a whistle. >> All right, let me go talk to her. What in the world is going on? >> Him. >> Well, what's he doing? >> He started this morning with her telling her that Alicia, you do your conversation cuz I came upstairs to that. >> I walked in the door cuz I had to take New York cuz my mom took the car from him. So I asked if he's going to work and he goes, "When I'm ready." And I said, "So am I taking you?" He goes, "No, I'm going to fly there. That's how I'm going to get there." I was like, "If you're going to be rude, I'm not going to take you to work." Sorry. My mom came upstairs and then he told me and I sent the comment to the group. >> I said, "If you can't afford to have a kid and don't have one." >> He said that I was a freeloader and I need to move out. If I can't afford to have a kid, I need to leave. So, my mom came upstairs and told him that he can't talk to me like that. And that's when he started attacking my mom and everything and like were jumping at her and said that he was going to kill. So my mom was just standing there talking to him and that's when he started hitting her and she was hitting him and then eventually like he stopped so I stopped recording and then he pulls the knife from behind his door. >> Yeah. And that's in the next video. That's when I decided to stop. >> Officers review phone and ring camera footage showing aggressive behavior and knife being presented. >> Call 911. >> PLEASE HELP. WHAT? >> WHY AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SCARED? GOOD. >> She came. >> WHAT ARE YOU GETTING MY FACE FOR? >> You need to learn how to quit. QUIT. >> WHAT? >> WHAT? >> WHAT? YOU SCARED? >> WHAT? POLICE KNOW. >> WHAT? >> WHY AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SCARED? YOU'RE THE ONE CLINCHING. YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S GETTING DOWN. YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S THINKING YOU can actually hit me. >> Is that the only one you have? >> No, it's this one, too. Where? THAT'S IS THIS AFTER? >> This is the second one. Okay. >> Is that the only two? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> You're never wrong. You're so kid a GRAB KNIFE. >> OH MY GOD. [screaming] >> Why'd you bring the knife in? >> Well, I gave it to her by the handle. I told her, >> "No, you stab >> you. You pulled it out of the the sheath for what?" >> I told her to stab me with it. >> But you're holding it by the handle. >> Well, I'm holding it by the part to give it to her. >> She is not shown up. >> I'm holding it so I can >> mother admits striking her son saying she felt threatened and was trying to protect her daughters. >> Being pregnant and being a freeloader and whatever. Well, the mom is taking up for the sister. >> Yeah. I mean, that's not punches. >> I think that's a little out of the realm of reasonable when it comes to that >> physical discipline. Yeah. >> Yeah. I was about to say is that corporal punishment right there? Is that what that is? >> But in this in this instance, he would be considered a juvenile, right? Since he is 17, he is still a juvenile. >> Yeah. >> So you possibly >> Let me show you in the first >> he brought out a knife. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. It's at the very end. Look at your goddamn highlighted wrong. >> I know I'm never wrong. >> Your sociopath just like your daughter. >> That's what it looks like in the video. >> Mother placed under arrest for battery and potential cruelty to children due to juvenile involvement. >> I told her [snorts] um I can't remember what I Well, it was something I told her some disrespectful. I was like, "I'll go to work when I go to work." She was telling me to get up, take me to work. I was like, I haven't even smoked a cigarette, so I'm gonna go smoke a cigarette. That that's how it all started because that was actually first cigarette I smoked this morning. But in that video, that knife was on the left of my desk and I picked it up. I threw the sheath against the wall and I was holding like >> I'm trying to go I'm trying to go back and get the full story. >> And then my mom, cuz I was talking to my sister, she uh ran up them stairs and she got in my room, got in my face, and I got an argument with her and we exchanged words. After a couple seconds, um, she got my face, started hitting me in my face. I I don't even remember if I pushed her back. June, >> did you tell anybody you was going to kill him? >> No. >> Cuz I know that's a crime and you've been here long enough many times for me to know that's a crime and that I made sure I avoided doing a crime. If anything, it's going to be mutual because she hit me first, right? The sister describes physical escalation, including the son pulling the knife while advancing, and expresses fear for her safety and her pregnant daughters. >> All right, get out for a sec. But I mean, I like my job. I work a good job. I don't get along with other people I live with. I work my job. I don't want to move out, you know? But like, I didn't do nothing illegal towards her grabbing a threatening her illegally or anything. get your drink and go sit on the curb for me, please. >> So when I came into the room, I told him to quit. And he immediately pushed his threatening towards me. So when he then approached me like he was going to hurt me is when I grabbed him because he'd constantly come towards me acting threatening and then he'd back off and he'd do it over and over again. So once he got too far is when I grabbed him and I start I I hit him. I started hitting him multiple times because I'm tired of him thinking he can intimidate us because of how big he is. After that, I think Alicia started recording and I don't know what he was doing on my back, but Alicia put his took his hands off my back again and then he bent over, which obviously I'm standing this way. He's standing towards me. He bent over and grabbed I guess next to his trash can or whatever is to the left of him and pulls out a knife about this long and then he holds it like that towards me and says, "Keep it." But I had to step back because otherwise I would have had the knife in me. He kept coming towards me and he goes, "Put your fingerprints on it. Get your fingerprints on this on this knife and pull me." And I'm staying in between him and Alicia cuz Alicia's 8 months pregnant. Then when he goes outside, he's on the ring camera. He closed the door. We're thinking, "Okay, everything is fine. He's getting out where he tries to storm back in the house." And you can >> police determine the mother was the primary aggressor based on the video and charge her with simple battery and cruelty to children. They advise one party should leave to deescalate. >> Jail battery FBA and possibly cruelty to children in the first. Okay. >> You got any questions? >> No. >> Okay. Place your hands in front of you, palms together. You have anything in your pockets? >> Lighter, phone, cigarettes, >> battery, family violence, and possibly a cruelty charge because he's a juvenile. So, I have to get warrants and she can call you. >> Okay. And um >> him, >> I don't have anything on him right now. >> Okay. But what about him threatening to me? >> There has to be an independent uh unbiased witness to that. And you know, you can't just >> I understand >> say that he said it, you know, without >> I'm not saying that it didn't happen. >> No, no, I get it. >> Um, but right now, you know, the video that you had is pointing at her. >> So, where does he go? Or do I need to leave right now? >> Neither one of you need to leave right now. I would advise him to leave because all of this started because of you guys. arguing back and forth or or him saying the things that he said, you know. I don't have anything on him right now. >> No, I understand. >> Okay. >> All right. Do you have any questions? >> Okay. Get you on this side over here. >> Uh, who we texting? >> His father. >> I'd rather you not. Since you're already in custody, because all this started between you and her, I would advise you to find somewhere else to be. >> Can I grab my stuff for my >> I don't care what you do. You can stay here. Both of y'all can. But I'd rather one of you leave. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> If you want to get what you want, walk. I don't care. All right. She's going for battery family violence and possibly a cruelty to children charge. uh officers charged the mother with simple battery and cruelty to children in the first degree. Remember, verbal family conflict turned physical fast once weapons were introduced. Video evidence outweighed verbal claims in determining the primary aggressor. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. This situation got out of control way faster than it should have. Once the video came out, it was clear why officers made that call.
