Glad the young person made the call and officers responded. Important reminder that caregivers can be charged when discipline crosses into physical harm. The uncle looks like he was trying to deescalate, but the situation clearly escalated quickly. You think the officers were out of options here?

She's no longer allowed in the house. Does she live here with you? >> No, she stayed here for a second, but she's not on a lease. She has no right to actually be in this house. >> Okay. Whose house is it? >> My mother's. >> Is your mother the same mother as her? >> Yes, but she's of 18 and she doesn't belong in this house. She was on no lease or anything. She got her stuff put outside. She came and grabbed it. My older sister just got dropped off by my grandpa Danny. He's in that car, white one. She said she's going to grab her stuff, pack it up. So, that's what happened. She started telling me, she told my mom to go herself so she can go spit on her grave. So, I said the same exact thing back to her. We didn't get in no physical fight or anything. She's upstairs putting our stuff away. My mom called the cops. The cops on the phone the whole time. And then I guess Jocelyn, the older one, the bigger one. She called my sister. She said, "Come help me get my stuff." We said, "You can bring your stuff out to her." But she's not coming inside his house. I don't know if it was my mom or my or Joselyn, but they man I think it's Jos managed to get the door open. And then they started barging in. She pushed me. And so I pushed her back and so she grabbed my hair pulling me. I grabbed her hair back. I landed on the ground. As soon as Johnson saw that I was pulling her hair or as soon as I let go her hair was on the ground, I got up. Johnson saw me. She started yelling at me and she >> Officers conduct separate interviews documenting claims of physical contact between siblings and the mother during attempts to block entry into the home. >> She started grabbing my hair and so I did the same thing back to her. >> I wish you my grandfab. You have you have to stop. >> You want to go hand. >> Why would I go in handcuffs? I have I can speak. I can speak. I have the right to speak. That's a vert.

I'm trying to tell. >> It is aggressive. And I can't put you and I will put you in handcuffs if you don't calm down. >> Really? Do you not hear her over there? >> She always handcuffs. It's crazy. >> Everything. That woman has beat on us. She's a us. I can't tell you. Everybody doesn't see what she does. >> Okay. Didn't I I talked to you earlier. Didn't I say to handle it civily? >> It doesn't work that way. >> It clearly does not work. >> This is how it all happened that way. >> So, she threw all of our stuff outside. I've been at the hospital with my grandma all day long. She's had surgery. So, I'm coming into this. >> Obviously, this all started. I know how it started. She kicked you guys out of the house. Am I correct? >> Yes. Because we already Yes. So, we already talked to her. I told her that I had the on Wednesday, I texted her. I'm not text. I talked to her. It's a verbal conversation. And I told her, "If you want me to pay the rent, I can cuz I have the money." She told me directly, "Do not worry about it. Like, don't worry about it all. Like, it's fine." So, I said, "Okay." And so, today she's been threatening to kick us out, telling us that we have to leave because we haven't paid rent. This is my first month here. She after she's already told me that I don't have to pay rent. >> Right. You guys been here 3 weeks, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. I remember. >> Since December 20. I've been here since December 24th. I get a call from Devon A saying that those two are laughing at her. I thought that was a cockroach. were laughing at her from the window and stuff like that cuz they kicked her out. Threw all of her stuff outside. I just barely got here maybe 10 minutes ago. I simply asked I went upstairs and I started packing my stuff and I simply asked what is going on. After that happened, I went upstairs and everything. I was asking what's going on like why is all this happening? Cuz I'm just I'm coming into this and nothing. >> Were you aware that she kicked both of you out at this point? >> I was told that her stuff was out. I didn't assume that I was kicked out or anything like that. At first I did assume I was kicked out. Do >> you mind if we talk over here? I did assume that my stuff was, you know, put out until I went inside and then and I was like, I'm not understanding what's going on. I'm like, why is this happening? I let my emotions get the best of me. And I told my mom, you know, I just hope that she would go to the grave cuz it's just it's been a lie. >> So you guys, >> one adult sister describes intervening to protect others and states she acted in self-defense. Officers note visible redness on her face and documented. >> Grabbing each other's hair. >> No, the swung at me while I was on the ground in between the door. >> Swung at which one is that? your sister. >> Devon is the youngest one. Those are both my sisters. >> I get that. This >> the smaller one was had my hair in my hand. I met fell on the ground and she started swinging at me. And so when I got up, I pushed her away. Join grabbed onto my hair. She started swinging on me and so I started swinging at her back. We just kept on doing that. We land on the ground. I pulled Deon away from my mom because Devon I kicked away from my mom too cuz Jos was getting in my mom's face and De was getting in my mom's face. So I pulled her back and they all tried to get inside the house again. Okay. >> De they said no. pulled her back and my mom and her both landed on the ground, but I was also on the ground. And then Jos started coming at my mom and calling us all baby. When De was the one that started throwing fist first or any touch, I kicked her back cuz I was like, "You're getting way too close to my mom." I kicked her back. I managed to get up and I got my mom up and we all got up. I was right by my mom and we were right by the door and then they shocked me in the face, the smaller one. She sucked me in the face and my mom grabbed a hold of me because if she did it, then I would have went right back at her because it's called self-defense. And I will stand by my word. I was self-defense the whole entire time. That's what happened. And we shut the door. We locked in and you guys came and we opened it again and she said to give her her phone. So I went outside, gave her her phone, she started talking [ __ ] I talked back and was still handing her phone. >> The reason you're in handcuffs is because we saw I watched you charge at her >> with the phone outside in my hand in front of me. >> We don't We don't know what your intentions are. You're That's what you're saying. You're sitting there screaming, cussing at her, saying come, >> cussing at me, too. >> But she's backing up. You weren't You were charging >> cuz I was handing her phone and they weren't letting her buy. Like I said, the cuffs as soon as we feel comfortable with taking you out of the house handcuffs, they come off as easy as they went on. So, you're saying >> officers continue interviews, confirm timelines, assess medical needs, and clarify who was told they were no longer permitted inside the residence. >> Do you hurt need medical anything? >> No, not they. They were just all like this, literally. >> Who's the third friend? She involved at all. >> Was she just in the car? >> Yep. Or she wasn't even I don't know where she was at the time. She wasn't here at all. I think she was driving up actually. Okay. So, she's just came what a second? >> Yes, sir. >> And my 17-year-old, she she was yelling at them because literally they attacked her in this doorway right here. And I literally was on the phone with my one the entire time. I was relaying it. They had me on my back, everything. I mean, I was still talking to Wait. >> Did they break anything? >> Oh, I literally It was open already. This thing being adjusted outwards and this is how it ended up. It doesn't seem like anything really is broken. >> Do you know where she hit you specifically? >> For sure. She hit me dead in the face because that was the >> Did she hit you like on the side? Does that kind of feel accurate to where that would have been >> when I was on the ground? Yeah. She kind of hit me on the side, but when she hit me dead in the face when I was looking directly at her, it was right in the middle of my face. She stopped me one time and that was when my mom grabbed a hold of me and started pulling me inside. Okay. And they were both outside. So that's when we met and she was like, my mom was holding on to me. I was like, "You better let me go right now." She's like, "No, lock the door and shut it." And that's what we did. And then you guys got here. >> What kind of things was she saying when she was trying to get into the house? >> What are you talking about? My older sister Devon, she really didn't say anything. She join was the one that was yelling the whole time. She was like, "Let her come inside and grab my stuff." And my mom and me were like, "She's not coming inside. She's not allowed inside of our house." And as soon as Josyn or my mom or the door got opened, as soon as that door got open, then they pushed through and we all said, "Get out." >> Was it just Devon A that was pushing through? >> Devon was pushing through and Jocelyn was trying to allow her to get through cuz Jocelyn was already inside the house. Can you start getting my knees bleeding, please? >> We're going to have medical pull up in a second and they'll come and check that out. You, Jocelyn, and Devon A are all like blood related sisters. >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, what kind of words were things? >> She told me to name >> So, Joselyn, my 24-year-old told me she can't wait for me to she's going to spit on my grave. How I can't touch her, her my her grandbaby that's on the way with my 20-year-old Devon. Basically, Devon told me to That's all they've been saying. You know, I'm I'm the mom that daily supposedly. And and yet, they both came to live with me to help them out. Closed fist. Open fist. >> Closed. >> Where they hit you? >> On my head. >> No injuries. No markings. >> No, but I feel you. >> You mind if I look real quick? >> I don't mind at all. >> And I don't really see much. Okay. But swinging closed fist to the face. >> Mostly my daughter back here. >> Okay. She literally was defending me. >> Where was your daughter when this happened? >> Right here at the door with me. >> So you guys were both >> We were all walking down the stairs and was upstairs coming down and I was like, "No, you can't let her in." We all met at the door together. >> Did you swing back? >> No, never. I literally was in the middle with the phone trying to get I was literally telling her, "Please help me." The whole thing is on recording. I'm sure of that. >> Who's this, by the way? >> Oh, this is my stepdad. He has stayed for that, but he brought Jos into the home. I'm going to tell you that there's probably a chance that therap has happened, but I >> Fair enough. I'm trying to figure it out. >> Yeah. No doubt. >> Thank you. Whenever it comes to questioning with juveniles and stuff, we need them. Pray present. I didn't know if you I didn't know you were 17 at the time. So, the reason you're in hiccups, did you talk to her already? An adult sister is advised of her rights, questioned about entering the home after being told she was removed, and acknowledges striking another person during the altercation. >> Okay. Do you need medical attention? I don't know if he's asked you already. >> I don't know, but can you check I just needed to check my knee? >> She wanted us to check her knee, see if she's bleeding. I just told >> her. Do you mind if I do? >> If you if you can, that'd be great. >> I'd like to. Can I get her? Is there any way I could somebody could follow me and to get her apart? >> If you want to grab a jacket, are you okay with that? Yeah, I'll go with you. I'll go with you for sure. >> Be right back. Okay. >> Did you uh tell Devon specifically face to face that she was not allowed in the residence and she she crossed inside the dwelling? >> Yes. >> Please understand these are all my kids whether they love me or not today. So, I'm not telling that to put her in jail or anything. I do want something around her putting her hands on us, but >> I don't know what I'm trying to tell you. I never know what to say. But >> Well, it's okay. Just relax. I I will figure it out. Did you hit Joelyn first? No, I pushed everyone outside with my mom while they were trying to get inside. I pushed everyone out and then Deon grabbed me by my hair and she started pulling me and then when Jocelyn saw that, she started grabbing me. >> So, what happened? >> I called you guys earlier when my stuff was sitting outside. >> That was the one who answered. Yes, >> you were the one that answered. Yep. >> I had called. There was like some of my stuff missing and then I had also came to get her Dawson's things. So, I called you guys to CVS could help me get in and get those things. I said it was a simple matter. So, I grabbed what I could. All my friends got in the Jeep and we left and went to this Maverick up here on Snow Canyon. And then my sister called me and told me that she was here and asked me to come pick up her dog. So, I pulled up, parked my car, went to the front door, knocked on the front door. Somebody opened the door. They were all three at the door, so I'm not quite sure who opened the door exactly, my two sisters and my mother. Okay. >> I stepped inside the door to come in and grab the dog. And then at one point I was thrown to the ground. And so I got back up. I think I grabbed somebody's hair and then my hair was grabbed. Not exactly sure what happened after that, but at one point I was punched in the face, kicked in the stomach, thrown to the ground again. So I got up. That was all by my little sister. So I got up and I punched her in the face in defense. I ain't even going to lie about that. That's when somebody showed up. You guys showed up. >> I showed up. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Is there anything else you would like to tell? >> And my phone was thrown inside. >> Do you live here? >> I did 2 hours ago. So, I do have some specific questions I need to ask you. Okay, >> since what I've heard from all the stories, right? I'm just going to let you know now you're under arrest. Okay. So, it's going to be for residential burger and a child. >> Okay. >> Me residential burglary means when you enter someone's house unlawfully and committed a theft or an assault, >> but I didn't. >> You were informed to get kicked out of the house. >> But I was I have messages. >> You're okay. Just relax. >> Just relax. >> Place your hands behind your back. It's suffering. The woman was arrested and informed she was being charged with burglary of a dwelling. An additional charge described as intentional is mentioned, but not fully stated in the transcript. Remember, family disputes can escalate rapidly when access to a residence and personal property is contested. Clear communication and physical separation [music] are key tools officers use to stabilize volatile situations. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. So many different stories. I can see why this took time to sort out. Everyone talking at once made it hard to calm things down. The doorway seemed to be where everything went wrong. The tension is already high, or so it seems. [music] What the body cam captures next saves a life pause and comment what you do here. On April 27th, 2024, officers initially responded to what appeared to be a routine domestic dispute after a mother demanded police arrest. Her own teenage son claiming he was violent and needed to be taken to jail. Leave >> me alone. So, I was out here on the bed minding my own business. I want to go my [ __ ] door. >> Y'all need to take him. >> Y'all need to take him. >> Make me. >> Y'all need to get him. >> Me. >> Y'all need to take him. Take his ass. Bro, ain't no answer, sir. >> You ain't coming back to this house. >> The 13-year-old boy was detained outside while officers separated the family. Both the mother and stepfather accused the teen of starting the fight while the teen admitted he struck his mother after being pushed. >> You start fight. >> I'm done. >> Take his ass to jail. You're going where you want to be. >> I'mma kill you when I come out. >> Hey, you coming out? >> Don't do it. Let go8. >> I got the male. >> Shut up. >> Shut up. >> He the one on the screen or he he's the one screaming. >> I need one of you to stand by with him. >> Was he hitting her when you got him? She was hitting her as soon as you got here. >> Yeah. >> Hold on. >> Pulling the kid. >> Come on. >> Y'all taking He ain't coming back here. >> We'll get there. Can you tell me what happened? >> Yeah. So, he's been slick out the mouth all day. >> Mhm. real slick, real nasty, you all this stuff. And I tell him to leave me alone. So I was out here on the bed minding my own business. I want to go cookies. So I sat up there and he going to try to snatch him out of my hand. So then he goes to try to antagonize provoke the situation. Sit on the bed. I asked him, "Can you please remove yourself? I don't want to talk to you. Don't need to be around me right now with how you talking to me." I've had multiple issues with him. Put hands on me. He's sitting up there off the bed. I asked him to move and he's not moving. I said, "You need to move from out my premises right now. I don't want to speak to you." So I pushed him off my bed. He going to turn around, put his phone down, and come and swing on me. And that's when I choke his dad in my head and try and still hit me. His step that dad in there right now could be a witness to everything. >> Okay. What's going on with you, my man? Why you upset? >> I told her to put my damn shoes down. >> I tried to grab my basketball shoes to tell her to put her down. She want to push me. So I put my ass back on her and then that's when the fight start happening. She punched you, you said, >> over some shoes? >> No, it was just me and her. She had me in a chokeo. >> So, did you hit her? >> Yeah, but she touched me first. I didn't try. >> What did she do when she touched you? >> I She put my shoes I put my I threw my phone in my room. >> You threw your phone in the room and then what? >> Then I went back out there. That's when me and her started throwing hands and then she asked me to choke on her. >> So who threw the hands first? >> Her. >> What did she do? >> Pushed me. Then when I came back out, I smoked on her. >> So she pushed you like telling you to go back to your room or what? >> Mm- like a fool. I push. >> So she just pushed you >> and that irritated irritated me. And then after >> So then you just punched her with your fist. >> You know your your parents are allowed to do corporal punishment, right? So if if they're giving you some kind of guidance and they're telling you, "Hey, stop doing this or go to your room or whatever." >> She didn't she didn't tell me to stop. I think >> you said you just said you guys were verbally arguing and then that's when she pushed you. Just take a deep breath. We'll get everything figured out. >> Did you see what happened, too? >> I had him in a room. >> You had what? >> I had to hold him in a room. >> Okay. Can you tell me what happened? >> Huh? Can you tell me what happened with her? >> She told her to get out of his face from death to death. >> Mhm. >> I had to get up and grab him and put him in the room. >> Did he swing at her first? >> I'm not going to touch my child. I'm saying myself. >> Did she tell you to get out the face? >> That's your son or >> That's my physical son. Yes. I carried him for 8 months in one week. Cut him. >> It don't matter if she hit him or not. That's her job. >> If I tell you to get out of my face and you steady provoking me you and I move you away from me. I ain't swing on him. I got the right to move him out of my face. >> Yeah. >> So I went to go push him out of my bed and out of my face. He going to buck up to me like he hard >> and he going to swing on me. So I got him in a choke hold and I put my hand down on his throat and he still tried to swing on me and pull my help. Even when he was removed from the situation, you can see his room, all the property damage he did, and I'm going to have to come out of pocket for it. >> While checking for injuries, officers entered the home to verify the child's living conditions. Almost immediately, the smell overwhelmed them, forcing officers to pause as they realized something was seriously wrong. >> Until he learned his lesson. I've tried. >> I've tried. >> No. Can you just raise your right hand for me? >> Yep. >> Take your full name and date of birth. >> So, she asked you to feed the cats and you didn't want to. >> So, that So, that kind of started it basically. >> At least you're going to go somewhere a lot cleaner. Okay. I I know you're going to juvie, but just from standing outside, I wouldn't even want to be in there. Okay, so we're going to get it figured out. >> The house is disgusting. >> Condition is horrible. >> Can you fix the scuffs? >> Step out real quick. Let me fix the cuffs for you. All right, stand. Where is your injury? The >> some marks in school. All right, just put your arms out like this for me. Flip him. Bring him a little bit closer then. Show me where you were. >> He grabbed you or >> Yeah, he was swinging on me and he grabbed me and he grabbed my hair as well. But that's all from him swinging that swollenness right there. >> There's some red marks. >> Let me see your face. >> Hold on. Sorry. >> Look left. That was great. I know that too. >> So, you said he messed up his room, right? >> Yeah. It's a little we just move, but he brought my TV. He um >> So, I just need to go in there and verify you got electricity, running water, food. It's messy. >> You said you have cats. >> Yeah, I got cats. >> All right. >> I got to She kept saying she was going to sell my Xbox, the TV that she bought. Inside the child's bedroom, officers discovered feces and urine covering the floor bed and surrounding areas. The teen admitted he had been living in these conditions for nearly a year. >> After that, she tried to steal my shoes that I was going to use for school. >> And did you go in there? >> How long have you been living like that? >> H >> How long have you been living like that? >> Nearly a year. >> Like a year? >> Nearly. All right, we have >> Dude, you got poop all over your room and stuff. >> Like a lot of poop. >> I I can't breathe in that house. >> You can take him out of cuffs. Just leave him in the car. I'm going to call a s. >> Yeah, bro. Hey, what I seen in there is worst thing I've ever seen. So, just stay in the car for us. We'll figure everything out. All right, bud. >> Hey, sir. Can you come over to the seat? Um, >> further inspection revealed multiple animals confined in filthy conditions, including dogs living in their own waste and snake enclosures stacked inside the child's closet. Officers described the home as one of the most inhumane environments they had ever seen to arrest both the parents for uh neglect. And um I haven't looked up exactly charge, but like the housing there is disgusting. >> He's living in feces. like there's all over his room and bed and all over the house. You can smell it from the outside. Um, okay. He's on the way. >> 12. >> So, I guess it's he's going to be processed or >> uh Yeah, he's doing the investigation. Uh, if it's how you guys are saying, then yeah, he'll he'll get taken to Jack. So, um, >> when I was younger, it was >> Well, we'll we'll knock on the door if we need anything else. Let me go see what he has right now. >> Let's go get some cigarettes. So, >> okay. >> All right. Thank you. >> No problem. Bro, he's literally living in the middle of the air >> with no bedding. His room is like like it's inhumane. There's drugs everywhere. >> Like I'm traumatized by what I just seen. >> I could smell it from the outside and all the mom. I don't know how he's not covered in bed bugs. >> Yeah. Jesus Christ. >> You might even have um animal cruelty. >> Three dogs inside of one cage living in feces. Bro, as a dad of a 10-year-old boy, that [ __ ] breaks my heart. >> It's disgusting. >> I would be losing my mind, too, bro. Like, you're right. >> Living in inhumane conditions. >> There's a bunch of snakes, snake crates in his closet stacked up. One >> snakes in there, >> huh? >> Snakes in there? >> I think so. Inside the closet. I'm telling you, it's probably the worst thing I've ever seen. >> Sge. So, this uh this poor kid, man, he's living in possibly the most inhumane conditions I've ever seen anyone live in. There's a coupe in his room. There's three dogs inside of a crate. >> At that point, officers shifted their focus entirely. What began as a call to arrest a child turned into a serious child neglect investigation. Supervisors were called to the scene immediately. that it smells. I I couldn't I couldn't breathe. >> Let's Let's start from the beginning. I believe the call here. >> 38318. >> He punched his mother allegedly first. When Mitri got here first, he was already in a >> When I got here, he was already arguing with the mom at the door. Then he kicked her in front of me. So detained and put him in the car. And both the mom and the stepdad say he started it. So I mean, I only really have charges for him >> at this point in time. at this point. But I have 13. >> How many other kids are in the house? >> Just him. >> Just this kid. >> Yeah. >> How old is this kid? >> 13. >> 13. >> And you said there was drugs inside the house. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Did you guys collect the drugs? >> No. I mean, >> right. But it's like scattered. >> All right. Well, let's take one real quick. >> Hey, can we step over here real quick? >> Yeah. >> You have some redness on your face. >> Yeah. That's where he swung from. Yeah. All day. I mean, I don't know. I don't know what else to do, you know? It's It's I had to choke my son. I don't want it, but you can't keep swinging on people. I do what I can and I know he's a good kid. He got anger issues and he doesn't know how to do it. But you can't swing on people. >> Yeah. So, let's do this. Uh, we're going to have to do a walk through the house. I know they did that already, but we got to do that again. The dogs put up. >> Yeah, they're put up. I do got cats out, though. >> Okay, I'm fine. >> Okay. All right. >> No issues with cats. >> All right. >> Not allergic. >> Okay. Let me get my phone. I feel like I'm going to need to make a phone call. No. >> The mother became defensive, insisting the child was to blame for the mess and claiming he refused to clean. Officers explained that regardless of behavior issues, parents are legally responsible for maintaining a safe and sanitary home. >> Where you at? Because I don't know what they trying to do. They got me trying to stay outside. I can't even walk. >> All right. Well, you need to hurry up and come back >> ASAP. Just go ahead and stay outside. >> I can't put this back in my house. Why? Why can't it keep >> Why can't I go in my household, though? >> Just keep it outside. >> I didn't do anything wrong. >> Okay. >> So, why can't I go in my household? Cuz >> I'm telling you not to. >> Why though? >> Cuz you're being detained right now. >> For what? >> Criminal charges for child neglect. >> For neglect. >> Yeah. >> For what? >> He's not neglected. >> Disgusting in there. >> Okay. I'm not the only person that lives there. >> You said you are. >> Me and him do. And he just got kicked out a week ago. Yeah. What? >> Hey, they trying to take me to jail for child neglect. So, >> huh? >> Ma'am, can I talk to you real quick? >> I'm talking to my dad cuz he just told me I'm being detained. So, I just want something to know. >> Okay. Well, no problem. >> Can you do me a favor? Put out the cigarette. >> Can I finish smoke first before y'all put me in handcuffs? >> Two quick puffs. >> Okay. >> Deep puffs for me. Okay. >> Yep. Cuz he going to line them. >> So, I ma'am, I'll explain everything to you. Okay. The reason you're being detained and the reason you're going to be placed under arrest for child neglect is because of the living condition. >> There's food in the house. He has clean clothes. There's water. There's all of that. I need to make sure that my property gets my car gets back here first before anything. >> We will work on that. Perfect. We're going to go ahead and place you in handcuffs. Do me a favor. Put the cigarette out. >> Can I get some pants on? I know. Can y'all pants? >> Not this second. We'll grab them in a second. We'll let you switch out. >> Hey, come on. They're taking me to jail. >> Sir, do me a favor. Just hang out here for a second for >> child neglect. Child neglect. What's your name? Channel neglect. What's the child neglect? >> Hold on. Hold on. >> What the child neglect? >> The living conditions of poor inside the house. Okay. >> So, >> he don't clean. >> Well, it's still part of >> when you tell him to clean, he don't clean. >> He's a juvenile. >> He's a He can clean, too. If you can eat, you can clean. >> I get that. I understand that. Right. But it's But it's not only hang out by the car. This one right here, the first one. >> Just leave it. It's fine. Just take care of their animals, please. I'm going to walk over >> the the the actual living room itself is in the same condition as his room and his room isn't great. Okay, the living room is not great. It's hard and I get it right. Sometimes we're in these predicaments where have the ability necessarily to take care of everything that we like. >> We both work. >> Okay. Well, perfect. All right. But at the end of the day, >> so that's his his job. That's his job >> to maintain the house, take out the trash. You don't want to do that. >> But at some point, the parents have to step in. >> You don't do that. You 13. >> You're a teenager. >> I get that. I get that. But at some point, >> we can't do everything. We tired when we come home. >> Yeah. I get that. I get that. But at some point, something has to take place because >> that's why she called out. This is the second time he done swung on her. >> Okay. And we're addressing that. Okay. But as we're addressing that, we also have the issue of the the the deplorable living conditions. Okay. And I get it, right? Times are tough. He's not listening. You don't you want to eat everything. You don't want to clean nothing. You don't want >> at some point, right, for animals and and it's more or less because of the animals, right? Because there's feces all over the place. And it's dried feces and it smells like urine, which means the dogs aren't being taken out. >> Due to the extreme living conditions, officers detained and arrested the mother for child neglect. Plans were made to remove the teen from the home for his safety and begin further investigations. But but at some point they're they're urinating and and and defecating inside the house. Okay. It's extremely poor healthwise to be breathing all that in. It's not great. Right. >> So I need it for when I get out for someone to come hit me. >> Sure. >> How am I with a seat belt right there? >> You can just sit. >> Let's let's let's go ahead. We're going to get some information from you real quick. I think I have to talk to her for a second. I think she wants to release everything to you, but let me just confirm with her and then we'll go from there. Okay. Hey, whatever happens today, >> I'm sorry for everything that you've been having to go through. All right? You shouldn't be living that way. All right? And I feel for you. I really do. All right? I'm sorry you had to live that way. All right? I'm going to do the best for you. >> When I was younger, it hurt like real bad. I got you. Give me a hug. I'm sorry. Okay. All right. Try to get you some help. All right. Whatever happens, get through it and let's restart over. All right. Hey, how come there's nine cups? Before leaving, officers spoke directly to the teen, acknowledging the trauma he had endured and assuring him that no child should be forced to live in such conditions. Put him in custody. >> All right, man. So, I just got done speaking with your boyfriend. >> Okay. Do you want the house to be released to him? >> Yeah. >> Do you want the car to be released to him? >> Thanks to him. He got my keys. He >> He's fine with all that. I just want to make sure that you're okay with that because it's I mean, I ain't got nothing else. That's all I got. So, yeah, he's fine. At this point, Jubie is a favor >> to get him out of the house. >> Just to get him off. >> Honestly though, I mean, I know it sucks that they got to take them too, but it'll it'll get him in part of the courts. >> Yeah. >> With other charges have I'll show it to his court. >> You know what I mean? >> Yeah. If it was that bad, you guys were in there and got >> anything for a kid. Captain that kind of right there. >> He's got no toys. He's got no entertainment. He's got poop on his bed. Urine. Urine and poop everywhere in his room. He's got snakes living in his closet. It's disgusting, bro. It's terrible. It's I wonder why they can't take that guy. >> The incident concluded with the child removed from the home, the mother arrested for neglect, and authorities initiating follow-up actions related to animal welfare and the unsafe living conditions. Remember, a child's behavior may be challenging, but it never excuses placing them in unsafe or inhumane living conditions. When adults fail to provide basic care, the system steps in not to punish, but to protect those who cannot protect themselves. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. That kid wasn't out of control. He was surviving in conditions no human should ever be forced to live in. Seeing a child sleep in feces while adults make excuses is absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating. This isn't discipline or tough parenting. This is neglect. And that child deserved help long before police arrived. Think the last one was wild? The next thief takes it to a whole new level.

The incident concluded with the mother and children removed from the abusive environment, Mr. Collier taken into custody on charges related to domestic abuse and authorities initiating protective measures to ensure the safety of the victims. Abuse behind closed doors often escalates until intervention becomes unavoidable. Protecting victims, especially children, must come before the comfort or excuses of the abuser. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. Watching him worry about his phone while a mother and kids were being abused is absolutely infuriating. Those children finally got help. This should have happened long before it reached this point. The calm way officers handled this just shows how dangerous and serious domestic abuse cases really are. If you thought that was something, wait until you see what happens next. Guess how this thief tries to get away and drop a comment below. Don't forget to subscribe to catch the next move.

I literally bought something right here. >> Are you guys arresting me? >> I don't know yet. >> Officers explain the seriousness of the situation and the potential consequences of impaired judgment. >> Blow. Keep blowing. You're not blowing. Blow harder. There you go. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. >> Oh, here's yours. That's good. >> Okay. Thank you. >> I promised you I had >> No, I know. And I I did it. I have a beer and I had a shot last night and like he said he saw all those limes over there like that was him all night. >> Literally sunk his head in like he was scared and well I want you to know that stuff and I'm not saying it to be mean.

I'll get you a 27 in a minute. >> The incident concluded with the mother taken into custody for child endangerment. The child placed in protective care and authorities initiating follow-up actions related to supervision and home safety. A single lapse in judgment can place others at serious risk. Responsibility doesn't pause even when exhaustion or stress sets in. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. This is heartbreaking and completely preventable. Some situations should never rely on luck to end safely. Children deserve protection, not excuses. If you thought that was something, wait until you see what happens next.
