Oh, I love you, bro. Come tonight. Hurry. Tonight. Some people spend years convincing themselves they still have control. Control over their addiction. Control over their temper. Control over how much damage they're really causing. >> I've been talking to the probation officer all day about him doing this to me. >> Okay. >> All day. >> Well, the probation is different than what I can do. >> Well, I understand that, but she told me to call y'all. But eventually, reality starts showing up in broken windows, terrified family members, and children being raised by grandparents. These are the moments when parents send their spoiled kids to jail. In this case, the woman's own parents finally called the police after her addiction spiraled so far out of control that their home and everyone inside it like started feeling unsafe around her. By the time officers arrived, this family wasn't trying to say face anymore. They were just trying to survive another night. laying on the bedroom with her leg at this. She herself on the ground. >> Is she in handcuffs? >> She is. This is the only This going to be the only way to get her. >> Has she been in this before? >> No. We'll see if maybe she changes her mind once she sees. >> Law enforcement blurred parts of the home to protect the family's privacy. What follows is part of the officer's interaction with the woman before she was removed from the house. >> All right, Miss Smith, this is the thing you're about to be put in. Can you look at it? >> It's a bag and it's got a wrap that's going to roll you up like a taco. >> Yeah, right. You're not rolling like a taco. >> Like a burrito. >> Yeah, right. It's against the wall. >> Well, >> Draco, get in here. >> If you let go of the bed and you can walk out peacefully, we don't have to use this. >> Well, go ahead and try and see what happens. The moment someone dares officers to try it, the outcome is usually already decided. >> Thank you guys. >> Your car unlocked. White. >> Can we put her down on the brake for a second? Yeah. >> Okay. She's also not responding to us anymore. >> Britney, you still good? >> It's Draco. >> Unlock. >> Draco, I love you, BRO. COME TO 911. HURRY. Good night.

Put her on the floor. >> She's got plenty of room. >> No, we don't want to put her chest. >> We got one seat belt on. She can't go anywhere. >> Britney's going to be better if you lean against the seat. >> Sit up for us. >> Sit up for us. >> I'm trying. >> Well, loosen up. >> I can't.

It's absolutely terrible. >> You didn't just wake up. I woke her up. >> We've had to raise all six of her children. >> Right. >> This stops being just her problem. The second six children are being raised by the people she's destroying. >> And there we didn't know what to do, but he said he finally called.

She needs so much help and we've tried to get her help for years. >> Well, sometimes if you don't want really want help, you're not it's not going to work, >> right? And she's on probation with Hamilton County >> for >> um whatever. She went to prison all this again. We've had to call him. You don't know how many times we've had to put restraining orders on, but he thought it was lifted when he went back to court, but it's not, is it? >> I I just got here at the end. >> Right. Sorry. Sorry. Um, we've lived here for 45 years, I think. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And I don't know, she was an honor student in school, but you just got a hold of her as an adult. >> That's the part addiction never warns people about. It doesn't always start with failure. Sometimes it starts with the smartest person in the room. >> Yeah. And I don't know, she was an honor student in school, but you just got a hold of her as an adult. She just tore the place up. She really didn't hit me. >> Okay. >> She wouldn't really come near me. >> You said >> it was like it was like this, you know, and she broke my windows. >> Okay. Just write your name, there, address, and what happened. >> Okay. >> And I may ask some clarifying questions. >> Yeah. I don't I'm not making anything up. She didn't touch me. She wouldn't come near me. Well, you said, >> but because the doors open and the windows are all open and my uh my cover for my bathtub jet bathtub is in the bathtub now. >> Oh my gosh. >> Yeah. She's just I don't There was a toothbrush stuck in the window in the bathroom. You can't open these case but windows without a crank. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I took the cranks out of here. Well, she's pushed them open. So, >> okay. >> We'll see how that goes. I'll fix them later or whatever. But >> they put her in mental hospitals. They do everything. Then they let her out. >> Okay. My name's on the top, right? >> Yep. >> He was trying to wait till Monday to call the pro officer, >> but we couldn't get that. We couldn't get there. Monday's tomorrow. >> Due day. We pulled it off last night. >> Oh, yeah. >> 197. >> I saw that on the news. >> That doesn't mean we're going to the playoffs. So, >> well, Joe thinks we're going. >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, I think he's hoping. Yeah. >> Okay. So, this all started days ago, so I'm not sure how to >> um Well, when whatever happened today that caused you to call. >> Okay. So, >> bizarre behavior for sure. Extreme bizarre behavior. You know, I don't even let her bring alcohol in my house or anything. She hides it when she does. So, it's not like we allow any of it. We do not. I've never done drugs in my entire life and I surely don't want them around me or I don't drink. I don't even smoke cigarettes, but people that drink are going to hide it from me anyway. She you you know that she was I mean you just can't stop her from doing whatever she does. And she tells me constantly, I'm not doing anything. I'm not and gets real nasty with me and calls me by my first name. Terry, did you hear me? just real disrespectful like that when she's doing something. Normally she's really nice if she's not. But she is our daughter and it was Christmas and we were trying to be nice and then it's so cold. You can't just throw them out in the We're not mean people, you know? You can't just throw someone out in the cold. >> You can hear the guilt in their voices. Parents trying to protect their daughter from the cold while also protecting everyone else from their daughter. And it's really always been up to us on the restraining order if we felt that she was okay. But the minute we see bizarre behavior, it's like this can't happen here. I mean, it's really hard when it's your child, Sam. That's one thing I never thought I'd see in her were jokes. I never She was so smart in school and good kid and but adult life she met wrong people and that's what happened. Got into the wrong group. He said, "I didn't really want to get you out. I'm letting you know what's going on. I've got the best husband in the world." >> You shouldn't have to go through that either. What was your location again? >> Another unit. >> I'm sorry. You guys have to go through all this with the drugs in the world. >> Chaos. Glenwood trail. Well, you think the snow's coming? >> Yeah, I'm sure. >> Yeah, that's what the news is saying. So, >> I believe they won't have school tomorrow. Hey everyone. >> She asked for you, but she didn't know who I was. >> She did. Oh, >> I don't I'm surprised she even knew who I was. Or she just knows my name, I think. I don't think she knows who I am really when she's like that. So, I will take and put my rubber gloves on and strip all the stuff in that room and we'll wash it. >> Well, let's see if I have any questions. You better We better put gloves on for everything she's touched all the curtain. >> Well, I've already fixed the windows. I had to get them closed. >> She had these on. >> It's 19° out. No, the two in the bedroom. The one in the bathroom. >> Trying to read this quiet. >> I don't know how to say she was combative. She was flail flailing her arms. I couldn't get near her. So, I mean, >> I want to get near spit on you or anything. >> I'm trying to get the windows closed. Well, I didn't want to turn my back on her. So, you know, the curtains are all pulled away. They're all tied up in a knot. You know what I mean? She's talking to somebody out the window, but there's nobody there. >> She's gone. Talking to people who aren't there is usually the moment everyone realizes this situation passed manageable a long time ago. >> She told the first policeman that the police were coming. >> All right. I wrote three questions. Did she threaten you? You said on the phone that she was threatening you. If so, if she did, put yes or no and then describe what that means. >> Did she threaten me? I don't know. I I can say yes. I mean >> say yes because of the way she >> explained what that means. >> And then what and what they like to just >> How do they make me feel >> first? Finish this one. >> Talk. >> I think whenever you're around someone like this, you're afraid for your life. >> How how did Well, that's a different question. on this one. When she threatened you, kind of describe what that threat actually she was throwing her phone. She's not herself. She turns into somebody else. I don't know. >> At you. I don't Is that a good enough? >> Was she throwing the phone at you? >> Yeah. then put at me or something equivalent to that. >> All right. >> Yeah, she didn't hit me. So >> So then if she didn't hit you, then put that's down here. Did she try to strike you or attempt to strike you? >> Yes, she did try to attempt to strike me, but she did not. >> You dodged her, didn't you? Just say you dodged her >> because at that point, I think she would have hurt you if she could have. If you would >> if she could have got away with Yes. >> hitting me and getting around me, that would have been fine. and I all I did was stay in here. So, >> the mother already knows the truth. She's not scared of being yelled at anymore. She's scared of what her daughter is capable of becoming. >> Do you want me to do this one still? >> Yeah. >> Cuz she was kind of summarizing your feelings. Your feelings can be different than what she did. How did all this make you feel? >> Very threatening in your own home. >> 106 >> and you were froze. Just kidding. That's a joke, but it's not really because it's true. We were froze. >> Did you show the other officers the broken window? >> Uh, she had pushed the casement windows are crank windows, right? So, you can't open unless you have a crank. Well, I took the cranks out there a long time ago cuz I have little kids. >> But you said >> she pushed them open. >> So, that means that she bent >> broke them. She bent the apparatus >> back there in the back. >> Yeah, that room. And well, the window in the bathroom. She had a toothbrush jammed in it. >> I'd make her pay for them if they >> Well, we could just show after you get done with that, you can show them to me. >> Okay. >> Like it made you feel unsafe or made you feel like you didn't know what was going to go on? Pierce one. Go ahead. >> I'd say extremely unsafe. >> I'm just saying to put me in a defensive position. That's about all I can. >> Yes. >> Oh, you went I already put the windows up here. So, I'll show them to you. You want me to sign this thing >> down here? >> Okay. >> Not listening cuz he was talking to me. Let's see what you put here. I'm sure the officers felt unsafe, too. >> Well, we don't count them for stuff like that. >> I give you credit for the job you have to do. It's a lot out there in the world anymore. >> All right, the last question is, were any of her kids present during this incident? >> No. So, >> well, I don't know what to say. They're sleeping. >> So, they were in the house. Yes. Then put they were asleep in the house. And then >> on the back you can put the names >> right up here is put it. >> Oh, no. Next to the A. Okay. So, yes, they were asleep or whatever you just said. >> Well, I made sure they were secure with my grandson that's 18 in the other room. as long as they're in the house. That's >> And my daughter that's um Courtney, she's living here right now. She is uh almost 40 and she was laying on the couch. So there was an adult down here too. >> So then flip over on the back and take the kids names that were present. Gotcha. And their age >> and Jacob too, Brad. He >> see your tape. That didn't even go in there. >> Yeah. made sure that he was in the room and that he was protect he was in there so that we didn't know what to do with her until Monday morning. >> His name is actually Jason. So you almost had me put Jacob. >> Jason a nickname Jacob. But he's an adult, too. Yeah. Put his age. I am DT. Schmidt. >> What? >> Max. >> Maximus. M A X. >> I got Max. >> Last name. >> S H >> S C H I M DT. >> Yes, I believe so. And he Yes. >> And then David Wayne Schneider seven.

Did you >> I have to sign it for sign it. Put the information. And then we'll go look at the window >> down at the bottom. >> So if she shows up again, I'm not going to let her in my house. I didn't really let her in this time. Yeah, we did not let her in. She finally showed up. >> The protection order does >> families always think there'll be one final warning before things hit bottom. Most of the time they realize too late they already passed it. >> Account if she shows up uninvited, it's a violation of a protection or always. Even if she's here and you you're not supposed to be able to let her be here unless it's specifically allowed in the order that you can let her, which some of them are written that way. >> Some of them wants to say then she has to leave. If you tell her to leave and she doesn't leave, then it becomes a violation. >> I've asked her to leave. She was out of her mind. She >> Did you ask her that in >> Did I write it in there? No, but I will. >> Uh yeah, you can put it on the back. >> I'll just leave it right here. >> Yeah, you can add it there if you want to. >> Uh phone number. >> Uh date of birth. You want my date of birth? >> No, you don't need to. We got it. >> Just the phone number. >> So, one of our phones is off the hook, by the way, cuz I couldn't get the phone to work. I used my cell phone. just use a number that we can reach you if we need to. if somebody needs to ask some >> telling her >> and then you told her to leave and she refused or something like that if that's what happened I think maybe yeah the phone's unplugged on the wall there because our grandson had his game plugged in last All right. So, but it looks like maybe somebody unplugged everything anyway. That's why the fan's not working. >> All right. Let's go look at the wind. That's your P. >> Oh, sure. >> Are you wanting a charger with damage to the windows or not? >> Well, I'm just going to fix them. And I I don't I really don't want to open them again. I can. Let me get my handle. That was unplugged. What happened? He had all his equipment here. I don't know if it's unplugged or start with this. So, first you threw my bathtub cover in the bathtub. I don't I guess I didn't do it. So, So this what these windows are casement windows, >> right? >> So what she had done was pulled this open, pushed it as hard as she could. Okay, I got it to close. >> But all the all the apparatus for closing window is inside this part right here. >> This is all metal inside here. So I got it I got to close. >> What about this? >> No, that was already cracked. >> Well, you don't have to open them if it's going to be hard. >> No. So the other >> it was the mechanism that >> the mechanism she had. Yeah. >> Okay. >> And it's the same way on the other uh >> she ripped this curtain down too. Treore that off the hot tub >> on these uh she had that window open which I closed and tried to lock. I don't know if I can get it locked anymore. >> This is our other daughter's. >> So these windows here as you can see are locked. >> Yeah. >> But she pushed them open >> cuz she was >> so Yeah. So the mechanism inside here was she can see where the wood is broke. >> See the wood? >> Yeah.

Moving on to the next case where years of builtup resentment inside one family finally spill out in the worst way possible. What started as a simple argument about respect and boundaries quickly turned into a physical confrontation. And from the moment tempers took over, this was never going to end calmly. >> Good evening, ma'am. >> Why did you give us a call? >> Okay. >> Are you able to fill us in at all what happened? >> She could she could tell you later. Me and my just had a little dispute going to >> Sure. Yeah. >> How you doing, sir? >> How you doing? >> Good. Say again. just trying to resolve the situation right now. >> Okay. >> How are you?

Anybody come up here, you know, deal speak to me and I respect. That's all I ask. I'm not asking you for you. I'm not asking none of that.

Just out of respect cuz you know they you're not nice young people. They get >> you know I don't owe nobody but it's just respect sir. It ain't no big issue. It ain't no disrespect. If you respect somebody they can receive you better. So she got huffy or puffy about it. >> Came in here.

She's going to give me something toward the bills in this house." And that's what was understood. Now she's holling, I want my money back.

Um she said nothing physical happened, but some clothes were thrown. Um and she's said she has plans to leave the house tonight and I go to a friend's house. >> Mom was like, she punched me from behind uh other sisters. I think she threw a jab at her face and she got like a long mark on her face >> like battery. >> Can I just kind of hear like your side of the story? What happened? >> Sure. You can hear my side. >> Can I hear her side what she said if I say I did she not? Okay. So, what is what happened? I came home. My phone dropped me off was that went so far when she dropped me off. I guess we had she had an issue about me walking in the house and not speaking there. So by the time I got back outside your mom. >> Yeah. >> So got outside, you know, we just talking. Then it went from being money. That's when it all escalated. Just she want to throw her the clothes at me. Then I threw my clothes back at her led outside. It was just over some money. That's all it was. >> The daughter keeps shrinking the situation down to just money while everyone around her is talking about violence. >> It was just then escalated for some money. >> Did y'all like each other at all? We throwing my clothes at each other. We each other. Okay. Were you like trying you? What about the clothes? Was she like trying to get you to move out or something or >> I stay here?

I'm I put my clothes right there that she threw out that we have an argument back and forth about cuz it let us like to that money. But my stuff right there, I can just leave. Like that's a possibility. We'll figure something out. >> I got to cut this chair right here. Bro, you talking about Listen, I'm too my phone up.

Just let me know what's straight up. I may be young, but you could just talk to me like we humans. Like, what's going on? Because right now, it was just over some money. Just went from throwing clothes to getting each other face. And I stepped away from her cuz like I'm not about to do this. I'm not about to get this. How old are you? I am 23. >> Is there anything you think is important for me to know? >> Something you know that I don't know? >> No, I'm just saying. Is there anything that you want to tell me that you feel like would help our investigation? >> I really was talking to your partner like No, I really don't want to add nothing to this investigation. She took my name down in my >> Okay. She got information. Yeah. Like I told I see it's crazy every day. People People trying to live with each other and work to just to get out their parents house. Everybody go through that. Like it's happening right now. This is like that's what most of y'all calls on right now. The irony is brutal. She describes family conflict like it's normal background noise while standing in the middle of getting arrested for it. >> So I see the knot on the front of your head. Did she hit you in the front too? >> She hit you. >> Yeah. >> If I'm such a bad mother, why you keep coming back? Because she want she wants to use me. >> And then when I get her from the ground up, help her get the job. get it. You know, then you want to you want to you want to >> you want to be violent toward me and like I told my husband, this is it. And you know what? When you get tired of being tired, that's it. >> So, ma'am, earlier I asked you if anything physical happened. You say nothing physical happened? >> No. >> Your mom has a lot of marks on her. >> How did that happen? >> Cuz she was throwing my clothes at me and I threw my basket back at her. So, in the midst of that, all my clothes was her and probably scratching her up. That's probably what it was. >> Well, just based on the evidence right now, we're going to go ahead and place you under arrest for domestic battery. All right. >> This is where the story finally collides with reality. Excuses stop working once the evidence starts talking. >> Here, I'm going to put your phone on the car right now. You can take it with you. >> Oh, I just got I'm sorry, man. I got you like a bunch of stuff. >> Can y'all flee out a whole lot? I'm my finger right now. But you know, I ain't I ain't like I was not trying to talk to lie to the police, but she done lied to the police. Like, >> she got in and >> she hit me, too. I ain't say nothing, but now I'm about to go to jail. Like, she she hit me, too. So, I don't know. >> The switch from denial to she hit me too happened the instant the handcuffs came out. >> Why you going just lock me up? Real. She bit my finger. I wasn't trying to lie, but now know what? Since we get we being real, I'm not going to do nothing. Since we be real, can she go to jail, too? No. Can I conclude? Y in the car just yet. Y'all didn't put me in the car just yet, so I can really still tell my side of the story, man. >> The 23-year-old daughter was charged with battery under the Domestic Violence Act after allegedlying her mother during the altercation. Moving on to the next case, where years of family resentment finally boiled over into something police couldn't ignore. What started as an argument over rules and respect quickly turned into a house full of people trying to outshout, outlame, and overpower each other. And this was never going to end calmly. Well, my 20-year-old daughter got out of the van and got right into my face and was about to hit me cuz she didn't like something that I said. >> Who's the older one? >> Okay. What happened? >> I don't know. >> I'm going to go crazy. >> My mom was trying to hit me. Um, she hurt me. They like um me um tried to be kicking me. I I don't want to press charges, but they need to understand this one just like left the house today and she knew she didn't have permission to go anywhere. She had her friend's mother come pick her up. >> Was that her mom? >> And I had to go. >> Oh, even better. I'm going to hear your side story. Trust me, I will. Okay. Do you mind just hanging out right there for me? Okay. Thank you. What happened is that um she's been out of control. I've been trying trying everything that I can and um you know I I see a therapist for my relationship just with her because a lot of things happened um after I divorced their abusive father and they they've learned a lot of his tactics. I've been up against a brick wall with them. I try all they it they they they g I have three of them. They all gang up on me. Um in fact, my ex-husband ended up moving to Tampa because the three girls ganged up on him. >> What was this all stemming from? >> Uh so we we got in an argument last night, verbal, not physical, but um we got in an argument last night and basically today's my best friend's birthday and I said that I wanted to go see her for her birthday, >> but so I texted her earlier when I was at school and I asked her if I could go over there and she said no. And I said, "Okay, well, I mean, maybe not the best choice, but I said, "Okay, my friend lives 5 minutes away. As long as I tell him where I'm going, I don't think it's that big of a deal. I only be over there for like an hour or two." So, I went anyway. Her grandpa came and picked me up. I was not even over there for like maybe not even 5 minutes before she she was calling her mother and then um trying to call the police and say I was a runaway. I told them both where I was going. Um, and then she came and got me instead of calling the police and we got home. >> What happened today? Right now, >> I went in I went and picked up my daughter um cuz she didn't have permission to be there. Um, and then Emily, the 20-year-old, and well, the three of us were arguing in the car because Emily thought that it was wrong of me to say that should walk home. >> What started as punishment turned into a power struggle. nobody was willing to back down from. >> And I feel as as far as I'm concerned, she she left without permission. She's considered a runaway and she can walk home. It's not dark and it's not that far away and she doesn't have to cross street. >> Backtrack a little bit. So, you want to see your friend's house. Where the calling the police come into play? >> Just just she just threatened it on the phone. um >> to hit you or >> no to just to call the police and say that I was a runaway for >> because you went because you went to your friend's house. >> Yeah, cuz I went to my my friend's house for her birthday. >> Okay. >> With without technical permission. We got home and I went inside but I was looking through the window and my mom started to just hit her. My sister my sister like backed up and she kind of tripped but my mom was like pushing her, shoving her. She was pulling her like >> shoving her. >> Uhhuh. Yeah. She shoved her back. is the reason for that >> just cuz she's angry. >> She was angry with her and I was defending her because I said I don't think she should have to walk home alone and >> Oh yeah, she wanted me to walk home alone all the way from my friend's neighborhood which is Saddle Brook. But I mean that would be multiple miles walking distance, >> right? >> She wanted me to walk alone um back home because she didn't want to come get me, but she got anyway. >> Emily was getting on my case and defending her sister, which is something she always does. then um calls me um all kinds of names. Um one time she called me um the cword. >> The second old grievances enter the argument. This stops being about a birthday party. >> This was almost a year ago and I slapped her. So now all she talks about is how I hit her and I her and I beat her up, which is not true. Um she beat me up. I've got pictures. >> Yeah. Then I went inside and I you know we were yelling at each other and then I was I would say this close to her and she she she like approached me and she went like this and so I ducked so she didn't hit me and while I ducked I accidentally kind of kicked her and then and then well somewhere during that this happened. Um that's >> is that from her scratching you? >> That's from her scratching. So, there was all this stuff going on and then started getting out of the van and she said, "Um, all I I have a boyfriend and all I care about is getting some 59year-old and I said, "You know what? Adult relationships are a lot different than teenage relationships with you and your friends." And um so she has a friend that has had has been very um promiscuous. And so I made a comment. Well, Emily didn't like that. So she got out of the van and she she stood right in front of me and was trying to she was trying to swing at me. >> Everyone in this house was talking like the victim and swinging like the aggressor. >> At this point, I don't remember exactly what happened because of all the adrenaline. I know that I grabbed her arms from her hitting me. She tried to kick me. She tried to hit me again. Um, I was trying to defend myself. >> Do you have any injuries to you? >> Um, no. I mean, like a little scratch. I was wearing the jacket at the time, so like not not kind of just >> pushed you around or >> Yeah. And this this stuff like this has happened with her before. >> We've always had problems for like a year or two now. >> Okay. >> Um, just getting along. and she uh we were we were having an argument in the car when she was driving me back from school, dropping me off from my dad's house at the time. And then uh we had words and we were cussing at each other and everything and she stopped the car. She slapped me in the face and then she uh told me to walk home. Um and at that point I didn't I didn't know my way home. I wasn't really familiar with >> this was a year ago home from GPE. >> Yeah. >> Okay. from DP. Yeah, it was >> um >> I was familiar with the area. >> Then I get into the house. I don't even remember what was said, >> but that she's like, I got it all on tape and you you hit her first, which I don't believe I did. And then she started trying to hit me and kick me. Same thing. >> So today, So how'd you get home? She picked She ended up picking >> Yeah, she picked me up and we drove home. >> And that's when was there an argument in the car prior to >> Yeah. I mean, she was screaming the whole way home. Okay. And you get home and that's when she starts roughing you up. >> Yeah. >> Because you were defending her. >> Uhhuh. >> Staying that she shouldn't be walking home by herself. >> Yeah. >> And then she swung at you. >> You ducked. >> Um and somehow you got scratched probably by her. >> Yes. 100% by him. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Something needs to change. I I just I can't do this anymore. I want to just I want them to either I don't know. like I I feel like I'm going to go crazy if >> this is where exhaustion replaces parenting and the entire situation starts running on pure resentment. >> If I have to go through this anymore, I want to just go to the hospital and go to like this like or something because I just need some rest. It's just it's been awful. It's just been awful for the last like four years. >> So, this is kind of a normal occurrence. I mean, like not like every day, but it's happened before with me. She gets physical with me a lot. >> Okay. >> So, my grandma, she she's been an alcoholic for like 20 years. I've never known her. >> Is she drunk now? >> I don't think so. I don't think she's drunk yet. >> And I I live here now because I had to sell my house after um I got a divorce. So, it's just it's been hard like the three of us and me just, you know, being the only parent. and they think that they can take it and manipulate me because that's what their dad did for 20 years >> now when you were here >> and she was in front of you. >> Mhm. >> And you don't remember you believe she you first or >> she took she tried to swing at me. >> Right. Right. So we have >> her you defending yourself. Um did you get I I saw I think you have a scratch or two here. >> Scratches there. Um Maybe even under here. But >> but I know like she tried to take a swing at me and so I grabbed her and I know that uh >> I know her arms or or her like whole body. >> Um her arms like the the upper part. >> Okay. >> And I I said I said get away from me. Get away from me. And I like and I like was like holding on and she's holding on to me and she wouldn't go. And then finally we like broke apart and then she tried to hit me again and then she started trying to kick me. >> And this is the the >> the older one, >> the 20-year-old. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And I told her, I said, "You know, you're an adult now. You can't be doing this to me. There are adult consequences for it." And she >> The moment someone says adult consequences, you already know the night is ending in handcuffs. >> She just takes no responsibility for her life. >> Okay. Um, are you willing to fill out a written statement about what happened today? >> I don't know. I don't I mean I don't want I What can be done about this? >> Well, I mean, you called police for a reason, right? >> Yeah. I need I need for them to know what's what they're doing. They can't be doing what they're doing. and that keeps telling me that she goes to um her counselor at school and says that um I'm her and that I said well why haven't they taken you then if you you keep talking to them about this and she's like because I'm not black and blue and you know we're not physical we're usually not physical. Oh, that's what it was. She She said something really nasty to me and like and I picked up my arm and then I put it down >> because I know better and then that's when she um started attacking me. What is considered parental I do so much for her. I take her to school every day. I pick her up. I make I buy her groceries. Make sure she has food to eat. We make meals. She doesn't always eat them, but that's on her. Um because we have plenty of food here. Um I >> Yeah, I mean that's >> I mean I do. >> No, I I understand that that's that's not really that's >> I mean just because sometimes I have to go to my boyfriend's house. So that doesn't mean I'm her. >> Okay. All I know is that when I was in that situation, I had all this adrenaline going through that I don't even I don't remember like I don't for me that's normal. Um, like when I get I used to get into arguments with my husband because he was an, you know, he was a narcissist and was very emotionally abusive to all of us. And now the girls think that I didn't leave him soon enough. And now they're they say they're all screwed up because of it. And you know, I was trying to keep my family together and I was trying to remain hopeful that maybe I could make things work with him. But then I realized that I was caught in this cycle of and it's just going to continue on. So I don't I want that I want it to break. I want that circle to break. >> Mhm. >> You know what I mean? >> No. I I mean >> apparently I got a boyfriend too fast and ever since then >> they've been trying to sabotage my life. >> I don't know. >> I guess there was a verbal argument in the car. They got home. They come in the house. Mom kind of roughs up the oldest daughter, shakes her around a little bit. >> Um, and then swings at the younger daughter, she ducks, and then she was able to scratch out. >> Every person here had their own version of the truth. That's usually a disaster. Waiting for paperwork. >> You record this part of it. >> Um, no. >> No. She was saying one of you recorded part of >> I took a couple of pictures of what happened like of of like my arms and stuff like or of my sister's arms like >> Oh, okay. But no video specifically about what happened. >> No, I didn't take a video. >> Okay. >> Um but I I just took those. Oh. Oh, that's that's a tree, I guess. >> Okay. Um, okay. So, >> the 20-year-old is the one who got physical with you out here first, right? And then you both went inside. >> No, Emily stayed out here and um when I got in there, she approached me and said, "I got everything. I got everything." You hit her first and um I don't think I did. I think Emily started swinging at me and then I I held her. But I I haven't seen the video, so I don't know. But um I went inside and um that's when um confronted me and then she's just started um I don't even know what she was saying. She was saying all sorts of different things. my mother was standing next to me and then um something that she said um I guess like really um shocked me and like I picked up my hand but then I put it down and then she picked up you know she lifted her arm and then just started hitting me and then she tried kicking me with her well not well she tried to knee me and then she also tried to kick me and um my mother is in there if you want to Yeah. Okay. But she ever actually kick you >> in the process or No. >> Um, >> what's your mom? >> No, I think I stopped her each each time she she tried hitting me or kicking me. Um, or like kneeing me. I'm stronger than she is, so I'm able to hold her arms and like, you know, keep her from >> actually >> from actually. >> What's your mom's name? >> Sharon. >> Sharon. >> Hello, Sharon. Yeah. Hi, my name is John. Um, >> you want to step in >> if I could. Absolutely. >> Uh, yes. >> I did see Emily her Chris and I did see a Chris right here. And she won't listen to what anybody tells her to do. She swears. She calls me and Chris every name in the book believes that Kristen's a bad mother and she's not giving her enough attention. Kristen is a great mother. >> All right, put your hands behind your back and stand up. >> What? What? Um what? >> She spent the entire night convinced she was defending herself right up until the cuffs went on. >> Hold on. Don't even ask me what happened. I'm I'm I'm being I'm being arrested. >> I'm seeing here now. >> Um Oh my god. Why am I being arrested? She hit me. >> We're hanging up. But that's what you're doing. Molly. >> Okay. >> You have anything on you by any chance? Nothing. You're being placed under arrest for domestic violence. Okay. Battery. >> What exactly? >> Together. >> You live together as a family unit. You battery based on everyone that we have talked to. Okay. Determined that you two are the primary aggressors based on what happened. Okay. But that's what we determined based on what's going on. Okay. >> Based on what my mom said? No, not just on what your mom said. >> But hold on. I didn't say how am I the primary aggressor if she tried to me first? >> That's not what we have determined. >> But that's not what I said. >> I understand that's not what you may have said. >> Yeah, >> that's what we've determined based on talking with everyone here. >> Everyone here, my grandma didn't even see what happened. She was inside and and of course my mother's going to say something different. >> Okay. >> Have you ever been in trouble before? >> No. >> Okay. I would imagine that I would imagine because of the the the charge it is a misdemeanor that you will end up being released with. >> State of Florida requires law enforcement to take action and make an arrest when we have probable cause. Okay. >> She has to do some charges. >> No, ma'am. She did not. We are required to by Florida law. Okay. It's a criminal charge. Yes. You're being placed under arrest being charged with misdemeanor battery. Okay. >> Oh my god. But she battered me. >> You're being taken to the branch jail. Okay. will be charged with battery and because it's domestic, there'll be no bond and you have to see a judge in the morning. >> Okay. >> Oh my god. You going to spend the night in jail? >> Yes. So, you see first appearance be a judge in the morning. Your judge will decide whether you be released on your own recgnissance or if you'll have a bond issue. Okay. It'll be noted in the report that she does not want to pursue charges. It'll be noted in the report that you are saying you are not the primary aggressor and that she struck you first. >> Okay. That's not what we have as far as witnesses go. >> Okay. >> Witnesses. >> She's the witness. >> Okay. >> What? >> The panic really sets in when the story that made sense in your head stops working out loud. >> My my grandma wasn't even outside. Who? What other witness? I'm not I'm not tell saying that your grandma was outside. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just I'm just saying based on everything that we have talked about with her with your grandma. >> But me and say the same thing that that she me first. >> So the other witness would be her the one who me. >> I'm I'm sorry. I I I don't mean to be disrespectful. Well, I'm just trying to >> You don't have No, I understand this is an extremely stressful situation and you have more questions than I have answers that I'm able to provide for you. >> I can buckle in. >> I can tell you that. I mean, >> we could buckle you. It's not >> recently in a car accident. >> Absolutely. We buckled. Yeah. >> Was that okay? >> Yeah. Yeah. We're gonna clock a >> that that you >> I I'm sorry. >> I I understand you. I'll let you speak your your piece here in in a moment. Um because it is important that you you get to express what you want to tell me. I I understand that. Um, based on the totality of everything that has happened here that we were able to speak to to everybody and what we were able to hear from everyone, we can only determine what we were able to determine. Okay. Obviously, we weren't here to witness it, right? >> But I didn't even tell the full story. Like I I thought I was going to like tell like a playbyplay. I didn't even tell anyone that. >> Yeah. >> Is that something? Can Can I just like explain what happened? >> Yeah, you're more than welcome to explain what happened from your perspective. I That's fine. >> But shouldn't I have explained that if if if I before at this point that's not going to change what's happening right now? You've been placed under arrest because we have probable cause to determine that you two are primary aggressors for what happened today. But >> what is that cause? What she said? What do you mean >> the probable cause? That >> probable cause is is what we have to reach in order to to charge someone with a crime. We have to reach the threshold of probable cause. That's the the legal term for that. >> Okay. But if if she hit me and and I just like grabbed her arms to stop her, I don't I don't understand why I would be arrested for that. I I understand that's what you're telling me happened from your perspective. That's not what I'm being told by other people. Okay. >> But what that's what we're both telling you. >> I understand that. I understand that is what you are both telling me. Okay. >> She is telling me something different and your grandmother is telling me something different as well. Okay. I'm >> room for another one. Sir, this is something that has happened before with her, my father, me, my sisters. We were never the aggressors. She She has been charged with battery for my dad. He was charged for me. This is this is something that has happened multiple occasions, but never has it been me for my sister to Well, I don't I don't know what happened inside. I wasn't a part of that. All I know is that I I stood in front of her and I kind of put my hand up like not like in her face, but you know, like like to stop her >> like from from walking away from me, which maybe I shouldn't have done, but >> but I did not hit her. I understand. Maybe, you know, she thought I was going to hit her. You know, she was really worked up and everything. Um >> I But I didn't I didn't hit her. She She She hit me. Did you take a video? Yeah, I did take a video. >> She took a Can you see? Did you >> So when I asked earlier about the video, you said no, there wasn't. >> No, I said I I didn't take a video. I >> I asked her specifically. >> Finding out there was hidden video this late into the investigation made the whole scene even messier. >> She had a video. She said no. So >> I mean, you can find it on my phone. >> We're more than happy to look at the video. Okay. That initially we were told didn't exist. I said that I didn't pay I didn't >> I'm not I'm not referring to I'm talking to to her her video to what didn't exist. Okay. When I asked her specifically if she had video, she said no. So, we'll we'll go ahead and and and look at it, but that's not going to change what happened right now. So, do what you got to do. >> She said she has some scratches. >> I just have to document it. >> Mom can't can't come get her. You have to come get her. >> Yeah. >> Or something along those lines. Um >> so, >> where are the scratches at? Um, basically I mean those are the only ones I know of at the at the moment. >> Okay. The other ones >> you don't know like it feels sore but I don't think there were any cuts. I think it was more like hands grabbing. Can >> you hold your hands out like this? >> They've been abusing me for so long. It's over. After years of chaos, this family stopped trying to solve problems and started trying to win them. >> I'm not putting up with it anymore. >> So, but like I'd show her to >> you got to do what you got to do. >> The legal guardian. They may not. >> I didn't want them to go to jail, but you know what? You know, what am I supposed to do? They don't learn. They're never held accountable for anything. >> See, I you know, she >> I told him, "Do that one. Do that one first." took about the fact >> both daughters were arrested and charged with misdemeanor domestic battery after officers determined they were the primary aggressors during the physical altercation with their Mother.
