She had a son with her and medical staff thought that due to her mental state she wasn't fit to uh take care of the kids. So this is a prior CPS intake number that you might be able to give them. So that way they already have the names there instead of giving them all the names. It looks like they spelled the name differently in that report. Uh, and that's the report number here. Um, >> the child's name is different. >> Yeah. Is different than whatever paperwork he found. >> Okay. >> Um, so, uh, >> yeah. >> Another prior CPS. >> Not to put it this way cuz the seat belt's not made for the other direction.

But if people's medal and reactive meaning that no like opiates on board, a significant amount, no. Um and uh then you know just a couple things we can do to make to see like they're faking >> being unconscious brought to that explain that to her and then she started asking for the hospital because she adjusted drugs and uh is pregnant but nothing we see cooperates that at all as far as vitals and anything. So okay, >> you're doing a pretty good job faking. It's one of the better ones I've seen. Nothing. Bad acting classes. >> No. Oh. Oh, sorry. My bad. Um, took a cart full of kid. >> So, and then basically use the kid as a weapon to bat off the security. >> Are there is there any warrants on her that you can book? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> What do you mean? >> There's a whole bunch.

If you think shoplifting only hurts businesses, remember the innocent toddler caught in this chaos. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. She tried every excuse in the book. Pregnant, injured, unconscious, just forgot to try return the items. The toddler stayed calmer than the adult. Someone give that kid the parenting badge.
