Have you ever been out there before, near Curtis Davis, the first one on the left, a little dude out there always called trouble?
00:07
Yeah.
00:12
Well, I guess he went and his therapist changed his med today, so he's on one.
00:18
I told dispatch, I'm going to be clearing those as long as him.
00:21
He keeps taking mom's phone, hiding it, and then calling, saying something real fast, and hanging up.
00:28
So I told him if you'd be clear anything, if you want to go by there and talk to him, so that might stop, so cute.
00:34
And knowing him, I doubt it will do anything.
00:37
We try to scare him once, me and Dan, and it never worked.
00:40
Yeah, he yelled at me that his mom doesn't want me there no more, so he slammed the door.
00:46
Yeah, that's finished.
00:49
But yeah, I just wanted you know what's going on.
00:51
Dad has his phone in his pocket, and mom had a life alert bracelet.
00:56
If anything actually goes down, they're going to contact us through one of those.
01:00
People.
01:03
I believe he's like 12.
01:06
They don't matter.
01:09
No, I'm just kidding.
01:15
I mean, it'd be a way to end it, but I doubt anybody would take him right now.
01:24
I was...
01:30
I don't guess I've actually ever went out there.
01:38
I don't usually have too much problems with him.
01:40
I'm lining out pretty quick.
01:41
I just talk to him like I do my kids.
01:43
I mean, usually it'll straight up pretty good and get on the ambulance or whatever.
01:46
That's all we've ever done is send him on.
01:49
Yeah, that's pretty much all you can do.
01:53
Sounds like the parents get stationed.
02:00
Well, I think it's either grandparents or great grandparents.
02:04
There's a whole lot of him and the out on that kid's life.
02:06
He's the one involved and all got arrested for setting some on fire.
02:08
I think he's got five felonies on at 10.
02:18
Yeah, Grandparents are definitely out of the league, but they're custodial and they're doing everything they can.
02:23
They're working with, I don't know, three or four different organizations, DHS,
02:29
therapists,
02:31
all kinds of hundred families, everything.
02:33
They're trying the best they can with him, but he ain't with it.
