Mom Abandons 3-Year-Old For Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
- 8 minutes
Florida.
A woman, a mother, leaves her three year
old home alone to get plastic surgery.
Child was found.
It's disturbing.
Put up the picture for mass.
[00:00:17]
Police arrested a Florida mother
who allegedly left her three year old baby
unattended at an apartment complex
while she was miles away,
undergoing a cosmetic procedure.
[00:00:37]
Concerned neighbors called the police
to the complex in Doral, Florida.
This happened June 27th after seeing
the child wandering unsupervised
with nothing but a cell phone.
Three years on this earth, one resident
[00:00:57]
told authorities she called 911 after she
found the child sleeping at her doorstep.
Body cam footage captured the moments when
police officers encountered the child and
their efforts to track down his parents.
So?
[00:01:12]
So they're talking to a human being
who's been on the planet three years.
So the cop says,
do you know where you live?
Hey, little buddy.
What's what's your name?
Do you know where your papi mommy are?
Body cam shows the officers
going door to door.
[00:01:30]
They went to several apartments
trying to locate the child's parents.
Hello.
By any chance, are you a missing kid?
An officer asks one person.
One resident who spoke with an
officer said, this is like the girl.
The lady that left her daughter
to go on vacation.
[00:01:47]
Yes, the neighbor responded.
The neighbors were referencing the case of
the Houston mother, who went on a cruise
and left her two children home alone.
Viewers online were equally shocked
by the mother's behavior.
Unfucking believable.
You better believe
this wasn't her first time doing this.
[00:02:03]
Wrote one person WTF three years old
to go and get your face hacked up.
Unbelievable, wrote another user
on Reddit, were just as brutal.
Quote.
People do stuff like this
and then get legal slaps on the wrist.
[00:02:19]
It's insane.
Anything could have happened
to that poor kid.
It could have.
He could have started a fire
in the apartment.
He could have been kidnaped
when out roaming alone or hit by a car.
She should not have been able to post bond
and literally should be sterilized.
[00:02:37]
One person said, quote, I don't care
if that sounds harsh unsympathetic.
They said to whatever the mother
was going through mentally, I mean it.
Police eventually found the child's
mother, 25 year old Jessica Renteria.
So Jessica told officers
that she left the child in a friend's care
[00:02:55]
for the day while she was at the center
getting a procedure.
However, the friend that she cited
on the spot denied her claim,
telling police he knows the defendant,
but at no point in time
[00:03:13]
was he told to take care of a juvenile.
So Jessica was taken into custody
with bandages around her face
from the procedure
and was charged with child neglect.

Now back to the show.
Now, I want you to understand what kind
of what kind of friend this is, okay?
She's on the spot.
She's going to transfer responsibility.
[00:03:47]
All right, so you have a duty to care.
You're a parent.
You have a child at your house.
You have a duty to care.
It's a legally binding duty.
You could transfer that duty
to care with another reasonably
responsible human being.
If that friend
was actually supposed to be there.
[00:04:02]
Well, guess what happens They go
right to his house and lock him up.
And that's what she decided
to say to the police.
No, no, I'm transferring
this responsibility to him.
They call him, they contact him.
They do real investigation
at the scene before affecting the arrest.
[00:04:21]
Authorities learned that Jessica,
originally from, DeLand, Florida,
was staying at an Airbnb
with her son, Darrell.
Police discovered the boy was
left alone for six hours
in the strange apartment complex.
Unknown to him, according to WSVN,
surveillance footage showed Jessica
[00:04:40]
left her vacation rental at 10 a.m.
Three hours later,
her son was captured walking outside.
Police weren't called
to the complex until 4:15 p.m.
That day.
Santeria was released from jail
on a whopping $1,000 bond.
Her trial is set for December 2nd.
[00:04:55]
This is.
This is never a simple kind of story.
It really isn't. She's a young mother.
She did something extremely boneheaded.
Immature.
Dangerous.
Negligent, she probably could benefit
from some type of training and penalty.
[00:05:13]
Nurturing and punishment if you would.
But that likely won't happen.
The care that's required in order
for her to be a better human being
will not be offered typically
by the justice system, which means
[00:05:31]
who gets most affected by that?
The three year old.
The three year old
is the most adversely affected by it.
It makes me.
It breaks my heart. I was a foster child,
[00:05:49]
and the gift of having a child
who loves you looks up to you.
The purity of that transforms you,
typically.
And you can't say you didn't have a couple
of dollars because cosmetic surgery isn't
[00:06:05]
exactly covered under a health care plan.
So how did this happen?
It happened because of our inability
at times in the human race to value life,
[00:06:21]
even if it comes from us.
Jackson. Thoughts here?
I got a few thoughts.
One, as you alluded to, there's a lot of,
help that this young mother needs because
there just seems to be a lot that's
not going on up here in terms of empathy,
[00:06:39]
foresight,
and just general responsibility.
Also, you know, the power of peer pressure
within society, because that's really
what this was to make this decision.
Beauty standards, what we think we need
in order to be accepted or to be worthy,
[00:06:58]
whether that be how much money we have,
the status that we have.
Generally, people are pursuing
the same things through different means,
and it can be this powerful.
And we've seen other examples of it,
but also, you know,
clearly this young mother, again,
[00:07:15]
is dealing with what we all deal with
and that really it's our environments that
shape, shape us in so many different ways.
The way that we learn how to deal
with ourselves, with the way we learn
how to deal with anxiety,
the way we learn how to just, you know,
[00:07:32]
relate to the world in general.
So much of that is impacted
by how we grow up.
And, you know, as you pointed out,
you were a foster child.
I wasn't, but, you know,
just from our different points of view.
And now that I'm an adult,
you know, I'm 32, you just understand
[00:07:48]
these things a lot better.
And I feel like that kind of helps
transform your perspective
on what we're here for, in which I believe
is we're here to make the world good.
That's right, dear brother.
So. That's right.
That's right.
I tell my college students
we are three E's experiences,
[00:08:04]
exposures and environments.
It makes us who we are.
This young lady now has
a new experience in her life.
Hopefully, it transforms her
for the better.
