You got hurt.
Alright, still up. You can
learn a lot by watching an
officer's body camera video
that is Kaylee refusing to
leave a gas station parking
line. How is
Jeff and it was not good but
knowing she does not want to go to
jail doesn't seem to stop her behavior.
Spend time in three county jails
in two years for offenses related
to disorderly conduct. We're
not mad. I'm not gonna be quiet.
You're not gonna silence me.
Kaylee has autism,
developmental disabilities,
and behavioral problems.
Due to a lifetime of trauma.
Though worlds rules on how
to act don't come naturally
and her mom says until now,
many of the therapies that could
have helped have been denied
by Medicaid. It's truly unfair
for these children not to be able
to access services that they need
to. Child welfare advocates say
they see it over and over again.
The criminal justice system.
We see that a lot with children
who are in juvenile justice because
they're not getting the supports that
they need. The Department of Juvenile
Justice says it's treating 60% of
the children in custody for some
type of mental health disorder.
The top diagnosis, PTSD and ADHD,
almost identical to the top
diagnosis we found in the children,
abandoned to state custody.
Between Kaylee's outburst
started leading to arrests.
She was too old for DJ.
Tell me what's going on and that's
why we were able to obtain these
body camera video showing two
different calls to Newton County 911
with two very different outcomes.
We timed each response.
I think that's what it might
be in this incident.
Last year the officer seemed
out of Los when Kaylee refused
to answer her questions.
Where are you from?
She even pushed her mom away.
She begged everyone to stop touching her.
The body camera clips are broken,
but the timestamp indicates that
within 10 minutes of the officers
arrival, Kaylie was in handcuffs.
I don't want to take you want
to talk to you. No, I don't.
I don't know what's going on.
Let's reset the clock and
compare that to this response.
A year later, Kaylee has run away in
the middle of the night upset about
the anniversary of her father's death.
I don't have my dance alone.
Give me my diet now.
Please leave me alone.
In this case. Newton County
Corporal Jason New Grosky arrived
on scene with two other officers,
all with crisis intervention training.
Most times when they're talking,
they're telling you things that
will trigger them, or, you know,
may escalate the situation.
So you really have to pick up on that
37 can you kill those lights? Triggers
like bright lights of a
car or getting too close?
CIT is an intense week long
course for officers that on this
night help Kaylee calm down,
allowing her to think about her actions.
Fighting. You're OK, kaylie.
I'm trying to find my info. And
finally, accept her emotions.
Deescalation took longer Corporal
Nagorski calmly tried to connect
with Kaylee for 22 minutes,
but overall it saved time and trauma.
There was no drive to the jail.
No charges. Took clog. Our courts.
Was this a situation where
she needed to be arrested
so not everybody with mental
health needs to be arrested.
No. In each case, kaylie's
tears show that for children
with complicated mental and
behavioral needs, time behind bars
won't change their struggle
and have you reached out to NAMI
deputy new Grosky says they're given a
list of resources to share with families.
Because CIT isn't just about keeping
those experiencing a crisis out of jail
when it goes right and everybody
leaves and everybody safe,
and that information is passed
along it. It does feel good,
but sometimes you can't
help but worry or wonder.
You always wonder because you never know.
You know the next time they have an episode,
is it going to go the same way?
