Does she not realize they have cameras in stores? And why wouldn’t your kids almost being kidnapped be an emergency? These influencers exploiting their children is sickening
That's what I just said. There are cameras in every store and every parking lot. She really isn't very bright, not sure how she even manages day to day life.
She shared conspiracy theories espoused by QAnon followers of Democrats and Hollywood elites running child sex-trafficking rings on Instagram before this whole thing started
"I don't want to press charges, I just want to raise awareness" -- Wait, someone tried to kidnap children (YOUR children to boot) -- but you don't wan to "press charges". Biiiiig red flag.
@@kennethwright491 she wanted to “raise awareness” wieh her as the person leading that “awareness” ….so she gets lots of “ oh my gosh are you all right?” Sympathy and general attention for this. As an aspiring “ mom influencer ” she had to be hyper aware of what getting attention means, lots of likes and lots more people watching and subscribing….and buying any merch she has. And even more hyper aware that fearmongering like this, planting the idea that there are random strangers out there that will grab your kids, would just light up parents…..and really light up,the helicopter parents ( and that may be her audience) I think this was a spur of the moment thing where she was thinking….” What if these two rough people were after my kids? “ and then “ Wow, that would get me a ton of attention, and nothing will happen to me if I’m play this right…..”
I'm also glad and very surprised that she faced any legal consequences at all. However it seems they were not enough... After this video went live, she came back to instagram to cry and moan that people don't believe her. Still tries to paint herself as the victim, no accountability whatsoever.
I've yet to see a single minority get punished for faking a hate crime. People have gotten hurt, lost jobs, lost lives over this nonsense, and nothing is ever done. Jussy Smollet is going to keep his hoax tied up in the court system until everyone forgets about it.

@jrobwhydidyoutubechangemyname are you being willfully ignorant or are you actually that clueless? i insinuated she’d be a trump supporter. the fact that she falsely accused a hispanic man with a Black Lives Matter shirt and a woman with non-traditionally dyed hair, and lied that they went after her and her kids for not wearing masks, i’d say it’s pretty obvious she’s a good old republican. this checks MAGA boxes, not democrat ones. this woman would probably say something racist about Harris if anything.
Dude it's so hilarious how fast a camera will deter the most insane people. I had a guy blowing up and who got out of his semi to approach my car and was telling me to get out of my vehicle to fight. I literally just pissed him off as much as I possibly could and then busted out a camera. The very second he saw the camera it was like he turned into an A student and just silently walked back to his semi. People are f**king stupid these days
Yep every crime show I watch , let’s see the cctv footage. One detective even said Walmart target Home Depot has the best up to date cameras on the market.
This is so embarrassing. Apart from how terrible it must have been for the accused couple - it’s also an awful situation for the husband. Your wife tells you your children were almost kidnapped, and later you find out she lied for clout. What a breach of trust.
I've seen kids like this with the worst human beings so many times she makes me sick. Mom influencer? Marketing your child for cash you sick woman. That child is out of control, mental development out the damn window.
She probably sees herself as the hero of this story. She "saved" someone from something that those "scary" people MAY HAVE been doing in her mind. Just like when SOME cops say they "feared for their life" when firing on an unarmed victim.
@thomasmills3934 I think the commenter is assuming that we'd use the video as context. They're saying that the lady is narcissistic because she remembered vain and relatively unhelpful descriptors of the couple, all while claiming that her children might've been targeted because they're good-looking, in her opinion.
Oh my god. Just take the kid inside. Put him in his room. There is no safe space for him inside? She is driving me crazy with the kid. I genuinely think she was keeping him there and making his behavior worse to make the interview harder.
So obnoxious. Pretty sure it was a conscious manipulation and/or deflection attempt.. trying to use her non-verbal child and his need for his mom to play on the detectives emotions.

Truly. Such an obvious lie! No one actually trying to scout out children for kidnapping is going to be that obvious and long winded about it… if I was watching her video and heard that I would immediately know it was all a lie just cause of that XD

@@heyomando1374Reading comprehension is in the toilet, bro. They’re saying that cops don’t care about the petty stuff and only want action based on their personal life experience, not a specific encounter
Sounds like a bored housewife called her husband with a made up dramatic story and the husband demanded she call the police and it escalated from there.
So, women who work in an office in front of a computer are not bored? It's always stay at home moms? A real housewives and moms who takes care of her children don't have time to be bored.
lol coming from a mom who works full time, there is not time to be bored and make up a story and play it it out. Yes bored stay at home mom seeking attention. *Edit* yes you are correct a mom being home - I work from home - not mlm, lol there is no time when taking care of kids.
Wrong! Sounds like she thought this game of life was easy to bend and manipulate and she learned the hard way there are some things you don't do! Like falsely accusing!!!
@@cookie_dough_hangoverI think your taking the housewife part too seriously, this didn’t come off as a slight towards housewives just pointing out she IS a housewife that clearly wanted to spice it up and create some drama. Hence calling her a bored housewife, since no busy housewife would invite this kind of drama in their lives. This more than likely was directed towards her husband to get his attention, like op said he probably demanded police be called, she saw the attention she was getting from him most likely some family too and decided to get more on social media.
Lots of children get abducted in a broad day light and most of them are never seen again. Reporting attempt of kidnapping is very important. Real kidnapping attempt
Whoops,when I first read this I read “content” as in the kids were not calm and quiet but then realized you meant RUclips content! lol, either way it works.
Exactly... Look how many child stars grew up to have problems because they had no privacy growing up.. your kids should be protected from that stuff it's ruining their lives whether you think it's fun or not. It also seems like exploitation to me and I wouldn't do it
You’re so right! But also right off the bat when the 911 dispatcher says “Are you reporting an emergency?” And her response is “Yeah, I guess so”. I mean WTF????
A good lawyer should contact the couple whose lives were ruined and stigmatised by the false allegations and sue her for defamation and wilful negligence. She is part of the reason why our society is so broken.
I guess if you see the couple as “disposable” or lesser, it’s worth the cost. I wonder if she goes back online when her sentence is over trying to appeal to the lowest people who will buy into her bs
Not to mention she's straight up just racist, the way she was describing these people - unkempt, 'not clean cut'. Not only that, but the way she uses one of her own kids as a whole shield when she's being interviewed?? Not to be an armchair psychologist, but definitely has some narcissistic tendencies with every single thing she said/did. She didn't care what happened to those people, and the only reason she said she didn't want everything to get 'blown up' was because she didn't wanna get in trouble.
I have a hard time believing he’s “special needs” and not just spoiled. She has ZERO emotional connect to those kids beyond possession. She’s giving Munchausen’s and I mean ANYTHING for attention. She had kids for attention. She uses them for attention. Then gives them next to no attention except when they’re touching her, but only just to touch them back and LOOK like a mom. And Dave… he’s just proud to have MADE kids. I mean, she has a flat affect UNTIL she’s talking about them being cute and goes right back to flat until she’s BRAGGING about the property. Her eyes are blank; talking to the cops, talking on TikTok, talking to the detectives… Absolutely pathological.
"I don't like that you guys are getting blown up about this" I love how the detective then quickly turned it around and reminded her that SHE was the one that blasted it all over the place. Humbled her quick.
Yeah, you'd kind of want the police to blow up the entire world if you had your children kidnapped or subjected to attempted kidnapping?! Also, I'm sorry but I don't care if Mrs "good looking kids" think, is she serious? She obviously doesnt care about her children. But the rest of us care about the risk of other children getting abducted. She is insanely vile And to accuse innocent people like that? I hope they sue her
No mother would say to the police after witnessing someone trying to kidnap their child "I dont want to file a false report, I want to be sure... Its making me a little uneasy that you guys are being blown up by this". Really exposed herself there didnt she lol. What a ditz.
Using that child as a prop, no attachment or genuine soothing towards him at all. Narcissistic parents are so detached from reality. They see their children as props. It’s unfortunate this little boy is a victim of narcissistic parenting. Kids pick up on energy. He’s not happy. Poor little guy.
@ogrejr5579 nonverbal doesn't mean no noise or babbling genius...I have a 7 year old nonverbal autistic child who babbled until about 3 or 4. They now say words but not full sentences. Know what your talking about before you open your mouth.
Imagine being this starved for attention and thinking you're important enough to "raise awareness". You're nobody, except the person that wasted taxpayer dollars and precious emergency responder time.
@@cyberpunkcentral8500where did you get racism out of this she literally said the "women" who "attempted to kidnap her kid" was white 💀 girl she just wanted attention and to fake "raise awareness" about kidnapping. nothing to do with racism
I remember when I saw the “kidnapper” couple on the news speaking their side of the story. The Martinez family didn’t even care about her and her kids. They were simply trying to checkout and leave Michael’s. She made up a whole story just to get more views/followers to her pages 🤦🏽♂️.
The first red flag was her response to “Are you calling for an emergency?” being “I suppose so, yes.” Followed by “someone tried to kidnap my children.” There should be no “suppose so.” That ALREADY implies that she’s lying
I have special needs children also and she was 100% using her children to try not to have to talk to the cops holding them the whole time they were trying to talk to her . Pathetic !
I agree. I was trying to be sympathetic but was thinking "couldn't dad come take him if he needs to be calmed?" If I were getting interviewed by the police, I would want the audio on that body cam to be crystal clear in case anything goes south. But I also don't falsely accuse people for attention.
Nonsense. The child repeatedly requested to be held, then jerked around because she was talking while being held instead of him being soothed. Then the daughter comes along and requests to be held. If you got this simple observation wrong, what else are you getting wrong?
@@iGame3D kids don't need to be present while their parents are talking to the police. Period. Was belittling the internet stranger necessary? What are you mad at?
@renlass 100% I have a highly autistic child and in a situation of importance it's OK to put them in their room to play by themselves for a short time as long as the room is set up as it should be so they can't get hurt . She was using her children just like she has been using them to get attention online.
@iGame3D you are acting like I'm blaming the kids for her not taking control of the important situation she had to deal with , she knew that wasn't ok . just let it go on bc she thought the cop would get annoyed or feel bad for her and leave .

@@numarkaz I lived in Petaluma during this time, now live a few min away, still work at So. County Courts. It was extremely well known in town (obviously) and it’s a “big little town”, even though I think she’s insanely self centered (never once thought of the repercussions on the innocent couple or her family) and what she did is heinous, but bullying her in public (especially if her children are with her) is immature… if it stopped there. But she doubled down, played victim that the Martinez’s were making her look bad, trying to “really take her kid’s mommy away by pressing charges” and tried to get people to go against THEM. Talk about delusional and a crappy human. She couldn’t just take onus, say she messed up and apologize, she continually played victim. There was a police call to one of the restaurant brewery's in town (she/her husband called) because they "had to leave due to harassment", a report was taken, she also posted on her FB how she has to "watch her back". Who knows how true her personal FB reports of harassment were, she's not very trustworthy but people were calling her out, but she needed to stop talking about it on social media. I almost wonder if she enjoyed it, she maybe just wanted attention, positive or negative. They moved out of town pretty soon after. Sorry I don't have better bits.
I have seen a women lie about a man having a gun, causing a 3 agency response, knowing she was lying and being unapologetic about it. They gave her a warning. This lady didn't even want to press charges admitted she might be wrong. the cops are the ones that pushed this thing. Typical cops, that lady went too jail because they think she made them look bad. this is why nobody likes cops.
ye was positively surprised she got a real conviction. That being said she accused the couple of one of the worst things. Compared to what they had to deal with and what could have happen with a trial it is still a slap on the wrist.
Judge should’ve ordered her to get a mental evaluation. That’s just such disgusting behavior to make up the story, call the cops to waste their time, broadcast the story while playing the victim only for attention and followers. That’s a sicknesssss.
After learning that the footage revealed that they were NOT following her, she should’ve just admitted that she panicked, and that didn’t want to pursue it. Instead, she chose to stick to her misinterpretation of the couple, which affected their lives. Sometimes it’s best to just admit when you’re wrong 😐
@@jenniferthompson6280I think they are saying. She should of cut and ran. Changed it up and said she must of over reacted and panicked. Not that she didn't do this on purpose.
I was expecting something about "I created the story to bring the plight of Americans into view." It might work as well for her as it did for Mr. Vance...
I think it could be a lot darker than that. She gives Diane Downs vibes. I think she was testing how far this could go so if her kids disappear in the future, they wouldn’t suspect she did it.
Does this woman NOT realise that there could be cameras both inside and outside. To destroy an INNOCENT couple I have NO words. This woman NEEDS to be held accountable for what she did. This reminds me of The boy who cried wolf.
The couple wasn’t destroyed. There was never any evidence to prove they had any nefarious intent regarding anything. Investigators knew from Day 1 that Katie’s story was fishy. Prosecutors were NEVER going to charge a random couple with attempted kidnapping because “Katie *thought* they were *possibly* speaking about *maybe* taking her kids?” 😳 It was purely hypothetical, as the supposed couple never spoke to Katie or touched her/her children…even if her story had been true.

She should have been sentenced to at least 2 years. She got a slap on the wrist for all the trouble she caused to th community and wasting the police time and efforts....etc.
That not entirely true. It's been proven that kids act crazier with their mothers something about unconditional love. They can be themselves or be super comfortable around mom because we will love them no matter what
@@Persephone8443 i think it could be because they feel authority from dad? My kids always act themselves around me-because i let them be themselves and not as strict as my husband.

"Hispanic" "BLM shirt" "not wearing a mask", the things she chose her imaginary kidnappers to be is so telling of her. They really tried to appeal to a certain group. Disgusting.
What I can't believe there's somebody could be this stupid that they would lie like this about this couple knowing full well their security cameras everywhere now recording everything that really happened.
That's what I thought. If she had said she was just stressed and overreacting,the police most likely would dropped it and she wouldn't have been arrested.
She LEAVES the store with her kids to be alone with two people she thinks are going to kidnap her kids??? As soon as I heard that I knew she was a lying karen.
@bzsbzs350 i knew right at the start of the video that she was lying when they played the 911 call recording, when she said i suppose so when asked if she was placing a emergency
The inclusion of the stereotypical Big White Pedo-Van is just insane. I don’t understand how she thought she could just say all that and that nobody would just like… look at the surveillance footage and see her version of events is utter BS. I’m very glad this poor couple had their names cleared, but it’s so sad that they were targeted for their appearances and ethnicities in the first place when they were just trying to shop in a public space???
She’s uneasy that the cops are “blowing this up” & doesn’t think it’s necessary for everyone to know all the details… but she’s on social media sharing the details. Got it.
Yes why are you blowing this thing up? They only tried to kidnap my kids for sexual use or too trafficking… that’s not so bad. I just want parents to be aware… also I got SO MANY FOLLOWERS on social media
@@4my2boys2That’s not even remotely accurate. Opportunistic predators act on impulse and are almost always captured.

Please do your research before saying something so blatantly incorrect, especially in regards to the safety of children.
@@definitelynotFBI Don't know about them. But I know a guy who used to specializes in stopping crimes on children of the sexual nature.(Very few people last more than 5 years in that job. "It wrecks you daily" is a line I won't be forgetting anytime soon.) Most of what facepanda said seems to be accurate. Though there's a sickening amount of cases where the parents sold their kid and later regrated it.
Love the Dad backing up his wife's story to cops... Dude, you weren't even there! EDIT: I can't keep having this conversation. Yes, I know why hubby piped in. However, his testimony is not valid in a court of law meaning it isn't valid during her interview, good intentions aside. He needs to shut his mouth and go inside.
He says did you tell them you went to the back corner of the store to get spray paint and they followed you? She tells him it isn't the same couple because they watched the footage and they were in the store prior to her arriving. She positively IDed the couple in the photo twice and then makes it seem like it was a different couple. So weird she's just making it up as she goes along in places.
Exactly. Not only the same logic, but most mothers would think "attempted murder" would literally be applicable too in this case...considering how many kidnapped children end up murdered! Like, sure, because she intervened in time they technically couldn't be charged with what they were planning on doing, after the kidnapping...but it would be foolish to think the kidnapping wouldn't lead to rape, likely physical assault, starvation, torture, and if not found in time: ending in murder and abuse of a corpse. Kidnapping is usually just the first crime someone commits in order to commit more crimes! That's what most mothers would assume. Worst case scenario, worst fear, etc. Sorry /end rant. It's just so ludicrous.
"I don't want to misrepresent anything... " Translation: "I want the internet clout, just not the heat that comes with falsely accusing innocent people of a serious crime."
The fact that she was willing to pick them out of a lineup and prosecute them is sickening. Because she knows she's lying for clout and attention. She's willing to send innocent people to jail instead of just admitting she's a liar. I'm glad the police charged her, and hope her and her husband are embarrassed as hell.

The child was distracting the heck outta me. He didn’t want to be held or put down. Out of sheer frustration I would’ve been like “shit damn, fine I lied!!” I would’ve folded immediately!!😂
I would have folded into a lump of inconsolable muttering long before🙃🤣. I raised 4 kids with one being a Highly Stubborn boy on the spectrum, now a less often stubborn 27yo man, still tho.😆 In grade school I was reduced to bawling, thinking I wasn't going to be a good enough mother for him. The school put a lot of pressure on me & him. (He was colossally ridiculous about what he was refusing to do🙄) He has what would be a damn impressive I.Q, close if not genius, if the other traits didn't hinder him. I did turned out to be the right momma after all. I took a new attitude & went to bat hard for him rather than letting the school dictate that he had to conform. The schools wanted to point at the I.Q as why he shouldn't receive his by legal right accaccommodations for his autism but me & him understood that it was actually one more reason he should have. Example, he didn't understand how to show his work in math because his brain didn't use the same procedure for the right answers, he just knew them. He started college this year and we've discussed how he refused to do any paper writing outside of the one time he got petty AF with a teacher😅 (she was petty first so I get it) I do believe he had accepted that he can't do that silliness in college. Finally! All my explaining & work paid off!... JK, not a word I said mattered🤣 He has been a good human 99% of the time, never getting into any other type of trouble or even being difficult outside of that. His testing and diagnosis talk with the professional is how we found out that I'm autistic. testing for girls were unheard of in the 80s dang sure not in our tiny town. It felt like the woman was describing me more than him. I recently got my testing confirmation done at 48yrs old. I might have been occasionally stubborn in school too😂 My oldest daughter tho..., she has a masters and chose a career in working with young children & teens with highly difficult diagnoses and some are rougher than non-verbal autism. It's heart breaking these exist and it's been eye opening how low the pay is for the folks who go into these types of careers compared to the level of college degrees they are expected to have. I'm in awe of those who do these important services. (She may have been switched at birth, not sure how since she was the only baby there but something is off 😆)
People fail to acknowledge that there's a stark line between bringing a baby into this world and actually parenting them. Anybody can make a child. Not everybody can be a parent.
Ants, slugs, spiders & all creatures manage to breed. It’s definitely not an achievement! Now bringing up a loving, caring, intelligent, educated, secure, generally happy child is a whole different story
It is an accomplishment 😅 it should be! I am very proud of being a mom. I don't care how many creatures done it before me and still doing it. Maybe you don't have kids, or don't feel they are an accomplishment, or Maybe your parents didn't tap in to the responsibilities, work and rewards that comes with the assignment. But it most definitely is an accomplishment for many so called "breeders" 😅🤪

I think this was a spur of the moment thing where she was thinking….” What if these two rough people were after my kids? “ and then “ Wow, that would get me a ton of attention, and nothing will happen to me if I’m play this right…..”

Oh my god. Just take the kid inside. Put him in his room. There is no safe space for him inside? She is driving me crazy with the kid. I genuinely think she was keeping him there and making his behavior worse to make the interview harder.

Hence calling her a bored housewife, since no busy housewife would invite this kind of drama in their lives.

Wow, imagine trying to ruin someone's life for followers. What a psycho!

don't all those instagram parents do that with their own children?
He could have gone to jail if there went cameras and she would have let him!!
Not to mention she's straight up just racist, the way she was describing these people - unkempt, 'not clean cut'. Not only that, but the way she uses one of her own kids as a whole shield when she's being interviewed?? Not to be an armchair psychologist, but definitely has some narcissistic tendencies with every single thing she said/did. She didn't care what happened to those people, and the only reason she said she didn't want everything to get 'blown up' was because she didn't wanna get in trouble.
Girl honesty, I don't think anybody would want to kidnap that kid...
Facts
I have a hard time believing he’s “special needs” and not just spoiled. She has ZERO emotional connect to those kids beyond possession. She’s giving Munchausen’s and I mean ANYTHING for attention. She had kids for attention. She uses them for attention. Then gives them next to no attention except when they’re touching her, but only just to touch them back and LOOK like a mom. And Dave… he’s just proud to have MADE kids.
I mean, she has a flat affect UNTIL she’s talking about them being cute and goes right back to flat until she’s BRAGGING about the property. Her eyes are blank; talking to the cops, talking on TikTok, talking to the detectives… Absolutely pathological.

But she doubled down, played victim that the Martinez’s were making her look bad, trying to “really take her kid’s mommy away by pressing charges” and tried to get people to go against THEM. Talk about delusional and a crappy human. She couldn’t just take onus, say she messed up and apologize, she continually played victim. There was a police call to one of the restaurant brewery's in town (she/her husband called) because they "had to leave due to harassment", a report was taken, she also posted on her FB how she has to "watch her back". Who knows how true her personal FB reports of harassment were, she's not very trustworthy but people were calling her out, but she needed to stop talking about it on social media. I almost wonder if she enjoyed it, she maybe just wanted attention, positive or negative. They moved out of town pretty soon after. Sorry I don't have better bits.
I’m glad she got charged
I have seen a women lie about a man having a gun, causing a 3 agency response, knowing she was lying and being unapologetic about it. They gave her a warning.
This lady didn't even want to press charges admitted she might be wrong. the cops are the ones that pushed this thing. Typical cops, that lady went too jail because they think she made them look bad. this is why nobody likes cops.
ye was positively surprised she got a real conviction. That being said she accused the couple of one of the worst things. Compared to what they had to deal with and what could have happen with a trial it is still a slap on the wrist.
Judge should’ve ordered her to get a mental evaluation. That’s just such disgusting behavior to make up the story, call the cops to waste their time, broadcast the story while playing the victim only for attention and followers. That’s a sicknesssss.
After learning that the footage revealed that they were NOT following her, she should’ve just admitted that she panicked, and that didn’t want to pursue it.

@@RangoSledgeTLDR: Disabled kid isn’t screaming in distress like he was with the mom. Doing more happy screeching with dad.
(It’s heavily raining when I listening to this so the video sound is muffled for me. Majority of the sounds aren’t distressed yelling once he’s with his dad.)
The fact that the son stopped crying immediately after the dad held him, makes me slightly worried about what’s going on behind closed doors.
I noticed that too
YOU NOTICED, he was SCREAMING for her to stop THROWING him all over too
@@DovregubbentheEMMAStan Yea she was trying to create distraction using that boy!
The toddler daughter is wear a cast/boot. CPS should be monitoring these people
i thought that where this video was going
At least they actually punished her with some jailtime, as opposed to how most just get probation and that's it. Very appropriate that they kept her off social media as well.
But Google is forever. It's going to be fun explaining to people who Google your name why you would racially profile a couple for likes and follows.
@@evepane2925yep , i remember when this happened but had forgotten, after watching this video for about 5 minutes i remembered oh this is that chick that went on TikTok to lie about her kids … then they showed the vid😂
but you’re right the internet will never forgot lol and i’ve actually read another comment saying she’s had to move from all of this! so neither do your neighbours😂
Yes. Also she was banned from Instagram. 😂 that’s probably the hardest pill to swallow. Imagine losing your attention life line
@@evepane2925 yes, isn't that great? Our justice system may be broken, but the internet doles justice out most swimmingly.
We need more detectives like this, holding people accountable for their bs
Falsely accusing ppl of a crime to gain Social media attraction is fkn wild...
Just wait until you find out what people will do for money.
Was it just to get attention? Did she pick them due to their race and beliefs (BLM and pro-mask)?
@@CK8smallvillewhat are you talking about? The couple was white. Is there anything you won't shoehorn race and tired old woke politics into?
@@nekad2000
She said the male was Hispanic with a BLM shirt. Female was white.
She should have been sentenced to at least 2 years. She got a slap on the wrist for all the trouble she caused to th community and wasting the police time and efforts....etc.
That kid got real quiet as soon as dad picked him up. That’s a good sign that mom is toxic. Never dismiss how dogs and children behave around adults.
I wonder what the Dad thought of her behaviour... if I was him I'd be filing divorce papers
He's probably been enabling her silliness for years.
Not only did the baby quiet down, but he actually got happy and playful. Children can feel it when they're not wanted.
That not entirely true. It's been proven that kids act crazier with their mothers something about unconditional love. They can be themselves or be super comfortable around mom because we will love them no matter what
@@Persephone8443 i think it could be because they feel authority from dad? My kids always act themselves around me-because i let them be themselves and not as strict as my husband. They run around do things, learn things. We paint together, do projects. (Of course i do not let them go crazy around other people and on other property
"Hispanic" "BLM shirt" "not wearing a mask", the things she chose her imaginary kidnappers to be is so telling of her. They really tried to appeal to a certain group. Disgusting.
Kind of feel like she was checking off boxes to describe them like oh yeah that’ll make sense and the police will hear me
What I can't believe there's somebody could be this stupid that they would lie like this about this couple knowing full well their security cameras everywhere now recording everything that really happened.
She is very culty for sure.. like scary
What certain group? BLM and no mask is pretty much conflicting politics.
What are you talking about? She's describing an ACTUAL person she saw in the store. She didn't pull it out of thin air
Man, she sure uses those kids as shields from the questioning.
Her using her children as a distraction during the questioning is despicable.... She's doing that on purpose and it makes me sick.
drove me crazy as well. like pay attention lady. quit twirling your kid around like a baton and look at the officer.
shes trying to stop him from crying lmao
You don’t have kids apparently lol
That kid crying was insane to listen to
@@ResidntPresidentI have 3, she knows exactly what she was doing and still having them after dad is home, cmon, we all know this type
She had a chance to say...'oh i guess i was confused and overly worried, my bad'...but she doubled down😂
That's what I thought. If she had said she was just stressed and overreacting,the police most likely would dropped it and she wouldn't have been arrested.
@OzkanArac
Do you know if she has a new social media😂
For real!! She's obviously not very smart though. Didn't even think about cameras that would obviously be inside and outside the store
She LEAVES the store with her kids to be alone with two people she thinks are going to kidnap her kids??? As soon as I heard that I knew she was a lying karen.
I knew as soon as I head "momfluencer"
no you didn't, that's called hindsight bias.
@bzsbzs350 i knew right at the start of the video that she was lying when they played the 911 call recording, when she said i suppose so when asked if she was placing a emergency
i knew as soon as she said her kids were very good looking...
Me too!
I'm so glad they prosecuted her for making a false report. Absolutely disgusting!
The inclusion of the stereotypical Big White Pedo-Van is just insane. I don’t understand how she thought she could just say all that and that nobody would just like… look at the surveillance footage and see her version of events is utter BS. I’m very glad this poor couple had their names cleared, but it’s so sad that they were targeted for their appearances and ethnicities in the first place when they were just trying to shop in a public space???
Break out the suspicious van. We have an influencer.😂
@@shimpscampy I'm surprised she didn't say the white van had "free candy" written on the side. 🤦
how is ur son
Your right it sounds ridiculous and dangerous that the subtext is hate and division
Meh. The people of that ethnicity target other people of different races so its fine
"I am 100% positive this woman is full of sh*t"
Me too.
@@dougcollier4327 true 😀
As soon as he said she is a mom influencer I know she was lying.
Why would the police release photo of the couple if they had video of them in parking lot?
3 times*
She’s uneasy that the cops are “blowing this up” & doesn’t think it’s necessary for everyone to know all the details… but she’s on social media sharing the details. Got it.
and inventing details as she goes along... She's a real keeper.
Exactly!
Yes why are you blowing this thing up? They only tried to kidnap my kids for sexual use or too trafficking… that’s not so bad. I just want parents to be aware… also I got SO MANY FOLLOWERS on social media
Can you imagine how EMPTY this lady is to do something like this?? What a BAD situation for the KIDS! She's EXTREMELY ATTENTION STARVED! 😮
I hope the couple sued this woman for defamation.
"My kids are good-looking."
She thinks that average or "ugly" kids won't be victimised?
Absolute harpy.
Exactly! Like a kidnapper cares about their looks! A kidnapper only cares about opportunity!
@@4my2boys2That’s not even remotely accurate. Opportunistic predators act on impulse and are almost always captured.
Organized predators typically stalk their victims for months via their social media or real world daily activities. They almost ALWAYS focus on the appearance of a child, particularly if they are part of a larger ring.
Please do your research before saying something so blatantly incorrect, especially in regards to the safety of children.
@@ghostfacepanda you seem to know alot about children predators don’t you? Anything else you’d like to tell us?
Why is everyone acting like kidnappers don’t have a preference. Then call the guy who calls you out a pedo?
Is this your first true crime video?
@@definitelynotFBI Don't know about them. But I know a guy who used to specializes in stopping crimes on children of the sexual nature.(Very few people last more than 5 years in that job. "It wrecks you daily" is a line I won't be forgetting anytime soon.)
Most of what facepanda said seems to be accurate. Though there's a sickening amount of cases where the parents sold their kid and later regrated it.
Love the Dad backing up his wife's story to cops... Dude, you weren't even there!
EDIT: I can't keep having this conversation. Yes, I know why hubby piped in. However, his testimony is not valid in a court of law meaning it isn't valid during her interview, good intentions aside. He needs to shut his mouth and go inside.
@@jnewcomb But his wife would NEVER lie! 🙄
I hope he is so ashamed and never believes anything she says.
@@ann-marimaukonen6805 Love your profile pic. 🛸
He should back her up tho. She shouldn't lie and embarrase them that way.
He says did you tell them you went to the back corner of the store to get spray paint and they followed you? She tells him it isn't the same couple because they watched the footage and they were in the store prior to her arriving. She positively IDed the couple in the photo twice and then makes it seem like it was a different couple. So weird she's just making it up as she goes along in places.
She should be charged with whatever charges she was trying to get placed on that couple.
"I don't want my attempted murderer to get caught. I just want people _aware_ that there's attempted murderers."
Exactly. Not only the same logic, but most mothers would think "attempted murder" would literally be applicable too in this case...considering how many kidnapped children end up murdered!
Like, sure, because she intervened in time they technically couldn't be charged with what they were planning on doing, after the kidnapping...but it would be foolish to think the kidnapping wouldn't lead to rape, likely physical assault, starvation, torture, and if not found in time: ending in murder and abuse of a corpse. Kidnapping is usually just the first crime someone commits in order to commit more crimes!
That's what most mothers would assume. Worst case scenario, worst fear, etc.
Sorry /end rant. It's just so ludicrous.
"I don't want to misrepresent anything... "
Translation: "I want the internet clout, just not the heat that comes with falsely accusing innocent people of a serious crime."
Any parent that uses their child as a prop for their social media is a bad person. Full stop.
I'm so shocked at these false allegations. If these kids go missing, start interrogating mom.
The amount of noise those kids were making when the police were interviewing her, I’m sure that would dissuade any potential kidnappers 😂
But they’re very attractive 😂
🤣
@@PlaneTrotter ahahahahahaaaa 🤣
Ransom of Red Chief.
Good lord I kept just asking why not let Dad take the loud child inside while you do this if inside is better for him?
The fact that she was willing to pick them out of a lineup and prosecute them is sickening. Because she knows she's lying for clout and attention. She's willing to send innocent people to jail instead of just admitting she's a liar. I'm glad the police charged her, and hope her and her husband are embarrassed as hell.
What boggles my mind is how, if those two random innocent people had gone to jail because of her story, she would be perfectly ok with that.
This is how people rise to the top, you have to be a psychopath. It's just that her top is social media. Lame
They're not supposed to be there anyway!!!!! (Sarcasm)
She's a white woman. They are beautiful unicorns without flaws. How can you accuse her like that?
@@hemmojito the color of her skin has nothing to do with it. If you don’t want other people discriminating against other races, watch your own mouth. 💜
@@katscratchfever3506 It is exactly what I meant. And for your information. This is not about me but the perception and bias of the society towards her in America, which I hate to break your bubble is predominantly white. So it's almost natural that her opinion has a different weight than say a Mexican gentleman. Plain and simple fact. Not even that mad about that cause what would be the point to complain about the weather? That being said, the weather is shitty and I'll get that off my back from time to time. So if you think this story would have flown the same way it did here with a Hispanic gentleman than be my guest. Judge me all you want .This is reality mate. If you can't take it stay in your bubble. I'm cool. You are entitled to your opinion. But don't be shocked when there are people with ones contrary to yours. It's called society. It's called reality!

The child was distracting the heck outta me. He didn’t want to be held or put down. Out of sheer frustration I would’ve been like “shit damn, fine I lied!!” I would’ve folded immediately!!😂
Same 😂
Me too 😂
Lol😂
I would have folded into a lump of inconsolable muttering long before🙃🤣.
I raised 4 kids with one being a Highly Stubborn boy on the spectrum, now a less often stubborn 27yo man, still tho.😆 In grade school I was reduced to bawling, thinking I wasn't going to be a good enough mother for him. The school put a lot of pressure on me & him. (He was colossally ridiculous about what he was refusing to do🙄) He has what would be a damn impressive I.Q, close if not genius, if the other traits didn't hinder him. I did turned out to be the right momma after all. I took a new attitude & went to bat hard for him rather than letting the school dictate that he had to conform. The schools wanted to point at the I.Q as why he shouldn't receive his by legal right accaccommodations for his autism but me & him understood that it was actually one more reason he should have. Example, he didn't understand how to show his work in math because his brain didn't use the same procedure for the right answers, he just knew them.
He started college this year and we've discussed how he refused to do any paper writing outside of the one time he got petty AF with a teacher😅 (she was petty first so I get it) I do believe he had accepted that he can't do that silliness in college. Finally! All my explaining & work paid off!... JK, not a word I said mattered🤣
He has been a good human 99% of the time, never getting into any other type of trouble or even being difficult outside of that. His testing and diagnosis talk with the professional is how we found out that I'm autistic. testing for girls were unheard of in the 80s dang sure not in our tiny town. It felt like the woman was describing me more than him. I recently got my testing confirmation done at 48yrs old. I might have been occasionally stubborn in school too😂
My oldest daughter tho..., she has a masters and chose a career in working with young children & teens with highly difficult diagnoses and some are rougher than non-verbal autism. It's heart breaking these exist and it's been eye opening how low the pay is for the folks who go into these types of careers compared to the level of college degrees they are expected to have. I'm in awe of those who do these important services. (She may have been switched at birth, not sure how since she was the only baby there but something is off 😆)
This is what parents do now. They let their kids do whatever they want, including screaming and making scenes while adults are talking
Social media has really been the downfall of society. 🤦🏻♂️
Being a mother/father isn’t an accomplishment. Dogs and cats do it and often do a better job at it than many humans.
People fail to acknowledge that there's a stark line between bringing a baby into this world and actually parenting them. Anybody can make a child. Not everybody can be a parent.
Ants, slugs, spiders & all creatures manage to breed. It’s definitely not an achievement! Now bringing up a loving, caring, intelligent, educated, secure, generally happy child is a whole different story
😂😂😂
It is an accomplishment 😅 it should be! I am very proud of being a mom. I don't care how many creatures done it before me and still doing it. Maybe you don't have kids, or don't feel they are an accomplishment, or Maybe your parents didn't tap in to the responsibilities, work and rewards that comes with the assignment. But it most definitely is an accomplishment for many so called "breeders" 😅🤪
@CocoLala84 thank you! These people clearly do not know how much work and energy goes into raising a child. It's relentless and my husband works full time, he knows me staying home with a toddler is just as much work! It's crazy how these people have zero clue
She’s Sherri Papini with an updated look. Maybe they could be roommates. Until whichever of them gets arrested again.

I can't believe she was willing to get two people incarcerated and ruin their lives and reputations for absolutely no reason. She should have gotten more than 90 days. Nothing happened, but it easily could have. So many cases like this will blow up in the media and then 'vigilante justice' will take over.
Imo this is the worst crime someone can be accused of!
I have seen a women lie about a man having a gun, causing a 3 agency response, knowing she was lying and being unapologetic about it. They gave her a warning.
This lady didn't even want to press charges admitted she might be wrong. the cops are the ones that pushed this thing. Typical cops, that lady went too jail because they think she made them look bad. this is why nobody likes cops.
Instead of a real punishment she got to do some kind of joke of implicit bias training.
@@NeiveVeveI would say SA against a child or murder but okay
Those people were never 'incarcerated'. Why are people so stupid they can't get the facts straight in a 24 minute video?
