>> Nancy: Oh, mom!
|
| 00:00:27 | At just 10 months old,
jashaya stanley touched a hot
radiator.
|
| 00:00:32 | It was left exposed at a chinese
restaurant, and she got a
,,
now, the deal was, she could
access it once she turned 18.
|
| 00:00:44 | So, she asked her mom for the
money, but she only got $8,500.
|
| 00:00:51 | Jashaya says her mother stole
the money, including 15 years of,
interest.
|
| 00:00:57 | She's now suing her mother for
$5,000.
|
| 00:01:00 | The mom, jasmine, says after the
lawyers' cut, the settlement was
reduced to $8,500, and she's
given her a total of $10,000,
much more than she had been,
awarded.
|
| 00:01:11 | First of all, do you agree to be
bound by my court ruling, ma'am?
|
| 00:01:15 | >> Yes, I do.
|
| 00:01:16 | >> Nancy: Ma'am?
|
| 00:01:17 | >> Yes, I do.
|
| 00:01:18 | >> Nancy: Okay.
|
| 00:01:19 | First to you, dear.

| 00:01:20 | What happened?
|
| 00:01:22 | >> Well, I got burnt at 10
months.
|
| 00:01:23 | >> Nancy: Where?
|
| 00:01:24 | ,
>> it's still here.
|
| 00:01:26 | >> Nancy: Let me see.
|
| 00:01:28 | Come here.
|
| 00:01:31 | >> It was worse.
|
| 00:01:32 | All four of these fingers was
burnt.
|
| 00:01:35 | >> Nancy: Okay. you know what?
|
| 00:01:37 | Now, I would not have known if
you hadn't told me, but now that
you've told --
le,t me see the other hand.
|
| 00:01:43 | Yeah, okay.
|
| 00:01:45 | And when you were growing up,
was the scar worse?
|
| 00:01:47 | >> Yeah.
|
| 00:01:48 | I used to always feel pain.
|
| 00:01:49 | Like, I still feel, like, a
sharp pain.
|
| 00:01:51 | >> Nancy: Yeah. you know what?
|
| 00:01:53 | I've had a scar like that, and
years later -- I had a spider
,
it's 15 years old, and sometimes
it still hurts.
|
| 00:02:01 | So I know.
|
| 00:02:02 | Okay.
|
| 00:02:04 | So, that happened, and you got a
$13,000 money settlement?
|
| 00:02:09 | >> Yes.
|
| 00:02:10 | >> Nancy: Okay.
|
| 00:02:10 | Then what happened?
|
| 00:02:11 | >> I was told that it was put
into an account for me when i,,
get 18.
|
| 00:02:16 | My mother and my father always
told me that.
|
| 00:02:19 | And when I got 18, my mother
gave me the $8,500, and then
that's when I tried to figure
out what happened to the rest of
my money, ,and I wanted to know
what was going on.
|
| 00:02:33 | >> Nancy: So, what did your mom
tell you when you asked her
where was the $13,000?
|
| 00:02:37 | >> She didn't really want to
talk about it.
|
| 00:02:39 | Every time I called her with it,
she would hang up the phone.
|
| 00:02:41 | "
>> Nancy: Do you live with her?
|
| 00:02:44 | >> No.
|
| 00:02:44 | >> Nancy: Where do you live?
|
| 00:02:45 | ,
>> Nancy: Why?
|
| 00:02:50 | care.
|
| 00:02:53 | >> Nancy: You put your child in
foster care?
|
| 00:02:56 | >> Yes, I did.
|
| 00:02:58 | >> Nancy: Why?
|
| 00:03:00 | >> Well, nancy, as you may know,,,
she's a handful of a child andas been.
|
| 00:03:10 | When she turned 14 years old,
she decided that she didn't want
to go to school anymore, so the
department of children services
were knocking on my door, and
they were threaten,ing to take
away my other child.
|
| 00:03:21 | You know, we pretty much -- i
tried everything that I could
try, and then after she had the
baby -- she had a baby at 16.
|
| 00:03:28 | After she had the baby, I let
her come and live with me.
|
| 00:03:32 | And she thought that her and her
boyfriend and her baby was going,
to live with me also, so we got
into a big fight.
|
| 00:03:38 | And before I allowed her to
cause me to lose everything i
worked hard for, i
was probably better for her to
be in the care of someone else,
someone that she might listen
to.
|
| 00:03:50 | And it, still hasn't done
anything.
|
| 00:03:53 | >> Nancy: Tell me your side.
|
| 00:03:55 | >> My side of the story is, when
I was in 8th from middle school,
I had a 75% average.i graduated and all that.
|
| 00:04:04 | Me and my mother had gotten into
little problems.
|
| 00:04:06 | ,
and she didn't pay for my
graduation.
|
| 00:04:10 | 9th-GRADE YEAR CAME, AND I WAS
Still hurt because I couldn't go
TO MY 8th-GRADE GRADUATION, SO I
Rebelled in 9th grade, and I got
suspended, and one day, my
mother -- she came up to the,
school, and she hit me, and this
is how we got the a.c.s. case.
|
| 00:04:29 | She hit me in school in front of
the dean because I tried to cut
school, whatever.
|
| 00:04:36 | >> Two weeks into her first year,
in high school, she was cutting
class.
|
| 00:04:42 | >> Nancy: She hit you where?
|
| 00:04:44 | >> I don't remember exactly
where, but I know we was in the
dean's office.
|
| 00:04:48 | >> Nancy: Where on her?
|
| 00:04:50 | >> Her behind, her legs, her
arms -- a beating.
|
| 00:04:53 | >> Nancy: So you started beating,
her at school?
|
| 00:04:57 | >> Yes, I did.
|
| 00:04:59 | >> Nancy: Well, you're just
crazy.
|
| 00:05:01 | I'm just telling you that right
now, lady.
|
| 00:05:03 | >> Okay. that's your opinion.
|
| 00:05:05 | >> Nancy: No.
|
| 00:05:06 | It's not my opinion.
|
| 00:05:07 | How dare you go in front of
other people and start beating a
girl in the 9th gr,ade on her
butt and legs in front of other
people?
|
| 00:05:16 | I'dwant to move out, too.
|
| 00:05:18 | >> Can I say something else
about that?
|
| 00:05:20 | >> Nancy: Yeah.
|
| 00:05:20 | >> All right.
|
| 00:05:21 | Even after that, right, a.c.s.
|
| 00:05:24 | Came to my house, and they
closed that case because it was,
unfounded, so that was dropped,
but even after that --
>> Nancy: No.
|
| 00:05:31 | It's because you gave your child
up.
|
| 00:05:33 | >> No.
|
| 00:05:34 | >> Nancy: That is why the case
was dropped.
|
| 00:05:35 | >> That's not why the case was
dropped.
|
| 00:05:37 | >> Nancy: What happened?
|
| 00:05:38 | >> The case was dropped.
|
| 00:05:39 | >> Nancy: I asked your child.
|
| 00:05:41 | worker come
in,to the house on the regular,
worker
that I didn't want to live there
'cause me and mother kept
getting into fights and stuff,
so I went and lived with my
grandmother.
|
| 00:05:53 | Then when I went and lived with
my grandmother --
>> Nancy: How did it work out
with your grandmother?
|
| 00:05:57 | >> It didn't.
|
| 00:05:58 | >> Nancy:,
>> it didn't work out for the
simple fact that --
>> she didn't want to listen.
|
| 00:06:04 | >> Nancy: Lady, I'm having you
removed if you cannot be quiet.
|
| 00:06:07 | I am talking tohernow.
|
| 00:06:09 | >> Okay.
|
| 00:06:10 | >> It didn't work out because i
was going to school, like, three
times a week, but I just missed
two days because I was in,
brooklyn, and my school was in
harlem 'cause that's where my
mother lived at.
|
| 00:06:19 | And then that's when the
--
>> Nancy: That's a long way to
go, from brooklyn to harlem.
|
| 00:06:25 | Don't say "no" to me.
|
| 00:06:26 | I lived in new york 12 years.
|
| 00:06:27 | >> Then you took mass transit,
too.
|
| 00:06:29 | You know it's nothing to get on
mass transit.
|
| 00:06:31 | >> Nancy: Lady, did I as,k you
anything?
|
| 00:06:35 | Your child is a minor, and
you're putting her on mass
transit?
|
| 00:06:40 | Just stop.

|
| 00:09:43 | people --,
she sent them to my
grandmother's house, and i
started running from them
because she told them that she
didn't want me to live with my
grandmother, so I figured that i
was gonna have to go stay with
somebody else, so I started
running from them or whatever.
|
| 00:09:59 | I was staying with my boyfriend,,
who is now my baby's father.
|
| 00:10:03 | I came back to live with her.
|
| 00:10:04 | Things got messed up again
'cause she --
I didn't go live there,
and I didn't have no babysitter,,,
so I couldn't go to school yet.
|
| 00:10:35 | She was stressing me about
school, but I told her that i
was gonna go back to school.

and they said that my mother
wanted to keep joshay and get,
rid of me again.

| 00:10:53 | So I told them that I wasn't
going nowhere, and I took my
daughter and I left.

go out drinking with people?
|
| 00:02:12 | >> No, I don't.
|
| 00:02:13 | That's why I told him no.
|
| 00:02:14 | >> Nancy: Go ahead.
|
| 00:02:15 | >> Chris shows up periodically
t of the blue just to show up,
even though he knows that he is
not welcome in our home anymore.
|
| 00:02:25 | It could go ,six months without
us seeing him.
|
| 00:02:28 | It could go a year without us
seeing him.

breaker?

| 00:03:02 | He showed up at my wedding.
|
| 00:03:03 | >> Nancy: Whoa!
|
| 00:03:04 | I got to hear about this.
|
| 00:03:05 | >> He showed up at my wedding.

|
| 00:03:09 | I let it go. it is my day.

| 00:03:10 | I'm not going to let him ruin
it.
|
| 00:03:13 | >> Nancy: Wait, wait.
|
| 00:03:14 | Ther,e's a difference between
showing up and crashing.
|
| 00:03:17 | >> He was not invited.
|
| 00:03:18 | He was specifically told not to
come to my wedding.
|
| 00:03:21 | >> Nancy: I would say that's
crashing.
|
| 00:03:24 | >> Two months after we got
married, he shows up at our
house uninvited.
|
| 00:03:29 | >> Nancy: Well, I've got a,,
question.
|
| 00:03:32 | I'm all about equality, all
right?
|
| 00:03:35 | I'm fine.
|
| 00:03:35 | Why areyoumakingherstand up
to him?
|
| 00:03:38 | He's your friend.
|
| 00:03:39 | Why isshehaving to do it?
|
| 00:03:41 | >> Well, because I have been
best friends with the guy since
I was a kid, and I still d
about him to,day, and I'm a very
forgiving person.
|
| 00:03:50 | I do like to try and forgive and
forget if I can.
|
| 00:03:53 | That's why I kept allowing him
back.
|
| 00:03:55 | >> The majority of anything that
chris has done has been directed
towards me.
|
| 00:04:00 | I think of chris as the jealous,,,
psycho ex-girlfriend.
|
| 00:04:06 | I've tried really hard.
|
| 00:04:08 | I was the new kid in the group.
|
| 00:04:10 | When I met brian, I tried to be
accepted into the group of his
friends.
|
| 00:04:15 | >> Nancy: How many children do
you have?
|
| 00:04:18 | ,
>> Nancy: Okay, yeah.
|
| 00:04:21 | You know what? that's all over.
|
| 00:04:23 | It's one thing for a girlfriend
not to fit in.
|
| 00:04:26 | But when you get married and you
have children, anybody that
insults your wife is not your
friend anymore.
|
| 00:04:33 | I'm kind of starting to blame,,
you.
|
| 00:04:35 | >> I'm also a very

you that I try to avoiyts.

looking at you.

and mild looking down.

solid 45 minutes saying, "i'm
not going with you.

| 00:05:10 | "
>> Nancy: What took you 45
!

|
| 00:05:14 | >> I was trying to defuse the
situation.
|
| 00:05:16 | >> Nancy: Defuse it?
|
| 00:05:17 | Shut the door, and don't answer
it anymore.
|
| 00:05:19 | Wouldn't that work?
|
| 00:05:20 | >> Eventually, that's what i
did.
|
| 00:05:21 | ,
he shut the door and dead-bolted
it.
|
| 00:05:24 | We heard, "she is a fat [bleep]
I can't believe that you're
"
>> Nancy: How do you knowhe's
the one that urinated on the
plant and dumped it over?

| 00:05:35 | >> He has admitted
the plant out.

| 00:05:37 | >> Nancy:,
>> I had alaskan forget-me-nots
that I had sent down from
alaska.

| 00:05:42 | I'm a natural-born alaskan.
|
| 00:05:44 | I'm very proud of these annuals.
|
| 00:05:46 | They come back every year.
|
| 00:05:47 | I'm very proud of them.
|
| 00:05:48 | >> Nancy: So the alaskan
forget-me-nots were fine before
chris salcido came to the door.
|
| 00:05:53 | >> Right. right.
|
| 00:05:54 | , >> Nancy: AFTER HE FINALLY LEFT,
What condition were they in?
|
| 00:05:57 | >> They were dumped out on --
right as we stepped out of the
porch, they were dumped out.
|
| 00:06:03 | Okay.
|
| 00:06:04 | >> Nancy: And right there on
your front porch, he whipped it
out and tee-teed on them?
|
| 00:06:09 | >> You could see there was an,
..

| 00:06:11 | >> Nancy: Urine.
|
| 00:06:12 | ..Urine on my screen door.

|
| 00:06:16 | >> Nancy: Why do you keep
looking up at the ceiling?
|
| 00:06:19 | Is there something up there?
|
| 00:06:21 | >> I just can't believe she's
saying that.
|
| 00:06:24 | >> Nancy: And the car got keyed.
|
| 00:06:26 | , Let me just ask you two
questions.

got the bike, and came to the
car.
