00:00Oh my god, I've traced it like actively and active, like I've literally just died.
00:08Wednesday, September 14th, 2021, Lake Ohio.
00:12In the early afternoon, a 911 call from a witness alerted authorities,
00:17about a five-month-old baby left alone in a vehicle under extreme midday heat.
00:22Officers quickly arrive at the Walmart Supercenter,
00:25where a witness had observed the infant crying and sweating inside a locked car.
00:29The officers enter the store with the mission of locating the child's mother before the situation escalates.
00:36I'm Tyler, and this is your Daily Dose of Crime.
00:39And you guys are the reason that we work so hard on all of these documentaries.
00:44Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your support.
00:49Be sure to tune in every day at 2 p.m. Eastern, 1 p.m. Central, for your Daily Dose of Crime.
00:59How are you doing?
01:00Sorry, I was just doing a jack of a grab.
01:02I don't know, like an hour or so.
01:09Did you come by yourself?
01:11Yeah.
01:13Can you put that stuff down?
01:14It'll take a while with it.
01:16Yeah, sure.
01:17Is everything okay?
01:18No.
01:21Okay.
01:22Is my daughter okay?
01:24Where's your daughter?
01:24The woman, visibly disconnected, is confronted by officers and avoids answering questions about her daughter's whereabouts,
01:33giving an impression of disorientation that raises more questions about her awareness of the danger she exposed her baby to.
01:40The responses from the baby's mother, identified only as a 33-year-old woman from Madison Township, were vague and detached.
01:48Her erratic behavior suggested a lack of awareness about what she had done, an emotional disconnect that began raising questions.
01:55The woman's lack of understanding became even more apparent when she was escorted to the parking lot,
02:00far from the expected reaction for the danger her daughter had faced.
02:04When confronted by officers, she seemed more focused on justifying her actions than on showing concern for her daughter's health.
02:12This behavior could indicate emotional detachment or a psychological defense mechanism, an attempt to avoid the gravity of her actions.
02:20The absence of visible distress as the woman walked toward the parking lot created an information gap.
02:25Why didn't she seem to realize the magnitude of the risk that her daughter faced?
02:31I was like, I literally just thought, I didn't agree in a suit, so that's funny.
02:41Like, I'm not even the same thing, I feel a very, very hard week.
02:45The victim's mother, in trying to justify her actions, vaguely mentions that she had left her baby in the vehicle while she made a quick purchase.
03:05Her tone is calm, almost as if she were making a minor mistake and not having the urgency that the situation demanded.
03:13You got anybody else that'll come care for the child?
03:43You know, like, I'm, like, totally fine to take care of her.
03:48I just, like, like, my, it's been a really crazy week.
03:52Like, I just figured my mom was pink, and her sister and her, like, not for so long.
03:58And it's, like, important to speak about her.
04:02She's trying to speak her from me, and, like, she's got a lot, a lot, a lot of stuff on my mind.
04:07I was just going to Walmart so I could get a speeding suit, so look at how she gave it to her.
04:14Like, an honest, like, I'm really, I'm really impressed.
04:25Have a seat on your child for a second.
04:26Okay.
04:27Approaching the ambulance, Madison spoke to her baby in a playful tone, as if it were a trivial situation.
04:36Her voice was soft and calm, but lacked the palpable concern of a mother facing a possible tragedy.
04:42That lack of seriousness stood in stark contrast to what had happened.
04:45As she began speaking with officers, the situation shifted slightly.
04:50The woman, still trying to justify her actions, began to falter.
04:54Her previously light tone began to crack, a subtle sign that the gravity of what had happened was starting to reach her.
05:00Her words became less certain, and it was clear that, although initially disconnected,
05:06the gravity of the situation and the harm that she had caused was beginning to penetrate her awareness.
05:15The baby, just five months old, had been trapped inside the vehicle
05:45for over two hours, exposed to extreme heat.
05:48Conditions inside the car were lethal.
05:50No ventilation, direct sunlight, and temperatures that far exceeded safe levels for any human being.
05:56As officers discussed how to proceed, the tension was evident.
06:00They knew they were dealing with a severe case of negligence,
06:03but the question remained of how to handle the responsible woman.
06:07The uncertainty about her emotional state and her lack of full cooperation complicated their decisions,
06:12but still, they could not ignore the urgency of the situation.
06:16The baby had been rescued in time, but the mother seemed oblivious to the gravity of the harm she had caused.
06:22While paramedics examined the baby, who already showed signs of heat-related distress,
06:27officers noticed strange stains on the woman's hands, an unusual detail that did not go unnoticed.
06:33The lack of clear explanations and her erratic behavior continued to raise more questions than answers.
06:39What was the meaning of those stains on her hands?
06:42Was it just a distraction, or something deeper, indicating a pattern of disconnected behavior?
06:48The situation was becoming increasingly complex.
06:51Honestly, I'm just going to take some baby pictures, okay?
06:58Okay.
07:02Tiffany, if you don't mind, would you do me a favor?
07:06Go like this.
07:10Picture of her hands.
07:18Tiffany, can I see your hands, please, honey?
07:20Yeah.
07:21Just your hands.
07:22Pull them both out.
07:25A little hard with the baby.
07:31What is all that from?
07:34The pain?
07:35Um, I'm trying to remember what I was using sneaking green for, um...
07:43Spray paint?
07:44No, and it was like a burly thing.
07:47No, it's like a nail polish or something, um...
07:58Nail polish?
07:59You got it all up here, too, green.
08:04No spray paint, huh?
08:05It's all nail polish.
08:07It's not nail polish here.
08:09It's like something else that I was using to decorate the house with.
08:13But now, like, a big old penis, right here?
08:16You got it all over your nose.
08:20Okay.
08:21Huh?
08:22I'm sorry.
08:22Okay.
08:23I'm trying to remember exactly what this arm was creating, but I can't put the figure on
08:27inside.
08:27It was a nail polish.
08:31Are you huffing, Tiff?
08:34Huh?
08:35Why do you got it all over your nose?
08:43Um, probably because I've been crying and wiping my face for you now.
08:47And actually, for real and honestly, I mean, that's why I have pain all over my head on my
08:54life.
08:54You got pain all over you.
08:56There's pain all over the kid, too.
08:58And you have no idea, huh?
09:00I don't remember and so well, I don't know if I should have any questions from me.
09:06Do me a favor.
09:07Who can we call?
09:10Check on you and the kid.
09:13Coach, um, can you really come to me and I'm not sure if you're in my house today or so?
09:19What?
09:20Can she just check out here with my house?
09:23Can you come in now?
09:24When asked to step out of the ambulance, the mother's response was unusual.
09:28She spoke with uneven articulation, her gaze fixed, blinking slowly.
09:33As she tried to maintain her balance, her body swayed side to side, giving the impression
09:38that she was under the influence of substances.
09:41The father is Nikki.
09:44It's me.
09:45Okay, why don't we give Nikki a call?
09:47Okay.
09:48I just need to trust her to close her.
09:50It's okay.
09:52Is it good?
09:55Listen, Tiffany, it's not a question that you love your kid or not.
09:58We know you do.
10:00Okay?
10:01We know you do.
10:02It has been a really good week and I'm really sorry.
10:05Like, it just...
10:07Okay.
10:08So, do you know Nikki's number off the top of your head?
10:11No, I'm sorry.
10:12We don't know who I'm talking to.
10:14I just want to use something.
10:16What kind of phone is that?
10:18It's an iPhone.
10:19If you have, like, hot phones...
10:20I have a charger in my car.
10:23Do you want me to charge it a little bit?
10:24Yeah, well, I also don't have a phone to shut off to only one from Wi-Fi, but if you charge it, I think there's a phone number.
10:33Okay, you want me to charge it a little bit?
10:36Yes.
10:41As officers began photographing the unusual paint stains on the woman's hands, uncertainty grew.
10:48The marks were evident and their presence was puzzling.
10:51But when asked about them, she could not give a coherent answer.
10:56When questioned about the time she had entered the store, the victim's mother again avoided giving a clear response.
11:01Her inability to recall such simple yet critical details, like time elapsed, hinted at major inconsistencies in her statements.
11:09The confusion in her responses reflected a state of mental disarray, as though she were incapable of recognizing what had happened.
11:16In justifying her actions, the woman said that forgetting a baby in the car when you're medicated is something that happens,
11:23as if speaking about a minor mishap without grasping the seriousness of what her daughter had endured.
11:29You only have the one child?
11:42Right now, yeah.
11:45At least one of all five or six kids, so I guess it matters.
11:49You're biological.
11:55You don't have any other biological kids with him or with anybody else?
12:00When officers searched the woman's vehicle, they found conditions inside as alarming as the situation itself.
12:07Officers sought to determine whether her behavior might have been influenced by substances.
12:12In a hesitant tone, the victim's mother admitted she had taken buspur and lorazepam before entering into the store.
12:19While both of the medicines are prescriptions, they contained sedative effects,
12:24which could have contributed to the detachment from the critical situation that her daughter faced.
12:29Did you guys take her vitals at all or anything?
12:43Nothing?
12:43Nothing if you're...
12:45She seemed fine whenever you guys came to her?
12:47Especially just sweating, wet diaper,
12:50the status in the okay, she was teary and everything.
12:54Okay.
12:54How bad was the sweating?
12:56Uh, no bad.
12:59Good.
12:59Oh.
13:00Yeah.
13:00All right.
13:01Give me a little bit of a sweater.
13:02Okay.
13:03All right.
13:04Thanks, guys.
13:04It's all unlocked.
13:06How is it?
13:07I mean, do you want to...
13:08Are you telling it?
13:09Yeah.
13:10You probably want to hit it over.
13:12I'm out of...
13:13I'm out of...
13:13I'm out of...
13:13Where's your car key at?
13:16Is this...
13:16Is this the key from the car key?
13:18In a moment of vulnerability, the woman begins to cry,
13:33but her distress feels hollow,
13:34as if she doesn't truly understand what she did wrong.
13:37Her tears show neither guilt nor comprehension,
13:41only confusion.
13:43It doesn't bother you.
13:44Huh?
13:44It doesn't bother you,
13:45otherwise I'd put her in the front seat of mine.
13:46Is it...
13:48Your baby has me for a few hours.
13:50Do you think maybe he needs a bottle or something?
13:52Okay, that was four hours ago.
13:55Has he eaten?
13:56Yeah, at least that.
13:58You know what time it is now?
14:00It's not that long.
14:02One day he gave me time.
14:03One thirty-eight.
14:04He came in here at ten...
14:07What time is it?
14:08Ten fifty-two.
14:09Ten fifty-two.
14:10Yeah.
14:14When the woman sat in the front seat
14:16of the patrol car,
14:17the atmosphere grew more tense.
14:19Observing her behavior,
14:20officers knew they were facing a situation
14:22that went beyond what was immediately visible.
14:25An officer asked her directly
14:27if she understood the risk she placed her daughter in.
14:29As she answered,
14:30her tone became more hesitant,
14:32though never fully expressing the guilt
14:34such action should have provoked.
14:36Her daughter had been left alone in the vehicle
14:38for over two hours,
14:40exposed to temperatures
14:41that could easily have caused heat stroke,
14:43and inside the car,
14:45under direct sunlight
14:46and without ventilation,
14:48temperatures had reached dangerous levels,
14:50leaving the child distressed and dehydrated.
14:53Still, she continued to downplay
14:55the seriousness of her actions.
14:56All right, Tiffany, go ahead and step out for me.
15:04Don't forget your flip-flops.
15:06When did you have the baby?
15:08Um, April 4th.
15:12How did I see that?
15:14Where did I see the empty box?
15:17All right, go ahead and empty everything out
15:20on your pockets,
15:20put it on the seat for me.
15:21I'll put the window down.
15:28Just put that seatbelt on for me.
15:31Put the seatbelt on.
15:42I need to get everything.
15:43I had her put everything on her,
15:45on your seat real quick.
15:46Okay, then I'll let you take that.
15:47Yeah.
15:48The woman is placed in the patrol car,
15:51and officers wait for a family member
15:53to arrive to take custody of her daughter.
15:55She simply resigns herself,
15:57though her demeanor shows a certain level
15:59of indifference to her child,
16:01who is now under the care
16:03of Child Protection Services.
16:06Are you okay with your sister
16:07taking her house keys
16:08and getting more baby stuff
16:09and taking care of the animals?
16:11Oh, of course there's a bike.
16:13Okay, which one's a house key?
16:14She'll have to drive my car, though.
16:16No, we got...
16:17It's a little spooky and neutral.
16:19We got to...
16:20We got to tow it.
16:22I can't drive it.
16:24I can't drive it home.
16:25Get everything.
16:27Which one's a house key?
16:30She'll be able to figure it out.
16:34All right, here's her keys.
16:35Thanks.
16:36When the woman's relative arrives
16:39to collect the vehicle keys,
16:41they tell officers she hasn't been well lately.
16:43This statement offers a possible explanation
16:46for her erratic behavior,
16:47but it also shows a lack of prior intervention,
16:51despite all of the warning signs being there.
16:53Remember in case there's any issues
16:54of who's supposed to have the child, okay?
16:57Okay.
16:57Yeah, because I know she's got
16:58a boyfriend without help.
17:01Anything about him?
17:02Okay.
17:04All right?
17:04All right.
17:05All right, thank you for coming.
17:07Can you see it or...
17:08Yeah, it's in the front seat there.
17:09Did you get him?
17:20My dad would care.
17:21He would feel like burnt him socks
17:23and he would see him
17:24and keep like a glove
17:25somewhere in his vehicle.
17:27So you understand where your daughter is?
17:30Yeah.
17:31In your vehicle,
17:33your daughter's with your sister.
17:35Yeah, I'm not really sure
17:36if I really was happy.
17:37Your daughter's with your sister.
17:40You're going to stay with her.
17:41Your sister's going to get some stuff
17:42from your house.
17:44Okay, I'm going to contact
17:45Job and Family Services
17:47and you're being charged
17:48with child endowment.
17:50Thank you.
17:55And your car's going to be at Kingstone.
17:58I'm going to be...
17:59The responsible woman
18:03was placed in a second patrol car.
18:05Her face, still calm,
18:07now showed a slight shift
18:08in expression not seen before
18:10as officers transported her to jail.
18:13There were no tears,
18:14no shouting,
18:16only a kind of resignation
18:17that failed to mask the magnitude
18:19of what had just occurred.
18:21The report noted that
18:22despite officers' attempts
18:24to obtain a clear acknowledgement
18:26of her understanding of the events,
18:28the woman continued to avoid
18:29direct confrontation
18:30with the seriousness of her negligence.
18:33At its core,
18:34the question remained,
18:35how much could a mother
18:37truly understand
18:38when in the face of tragedy?
18:40She still seemed distant
18:41from the reality
18:42of her child's danger.
18:44Following her arrest,
18:45the woman would be charged
18:47under Ohio Revised Code
18:48Section 2919.22,
18:51endangering children,
18:52which criminalizes
18:53placing a child's health
18:55or safety at risk
18:56through neglect
18:56or failure
18:57to perform caregiving duties.
18:59The charge is classified
19:00as a first-degree misdemeanor
19:02carrying a potential penalty
19:03of up to six months in jail
19:05and a fine of up to $1,000
19:07depending on circumstances
19:09and judicial discretion.
19:11She was booked
19:12into the county jail
19:13and a bond hearing
19:14was set within the next 24 hours.
19:16Despite her erratic behavior
19:18during detention,
19:19Child Protective Services
19:20took temporary custody
19:22of her daughter
19:22conducting a welfare assessment.
19:24The court would consider
19:26several factors,
19:27including mandatory
19:28educational requirements
19:29for all defendants
19:30in child neglect cases
19:32involving vehicles,
19:33specifically participation
19:35in a child safety
19:36and heat stroke prevention course.
19:38Additional conditions
19:39would include community service
19:41focused on raising awareness
19:43about child safety
19:44and public education
19:45on the dangers
19:46of leaving children in vehicles.
19:48Sentencing could also include
19:50probationary terms
19:51emphasizing behavioral monitoring
19:53aimed at preventing future neglect
19:55and providing family support
19:57rather than imposing
19:58purely punitive measures.
