00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,280

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,159

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 2: Meadows apartment homes in Greenfield, a small community on the

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: eastern outskirts of the Indianapolis metropolitan area. Officers responded to

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: a call about an unattended child who was inadequately clothed.

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: A woman reported hearing a child crying, and upon going outside,

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: she found the two year old's standing in the snow

16
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: with skin that had turned beat red, according to court documents.

17
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: A Fox affiliate in Indianapolis spoke to the woman, who

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: confirmed the temperatures outside were thirteen degrees.

19
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: I heard the baby crying. I wasn't quite sure where

20
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: the baby was crying at, so I step out a

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: little bit more. I sold him no pants, no shoes,

22
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: just a diaper. To see the baby dressed like that

23
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 3: and what parents would do that.

24
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: When officers arrived outside one of the apartments, they wrapped

25
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: the child in an officer's coat and placed them in

26
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: a warm car. While waiting for emergency medical services to arrive.

27
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: Police noted that footprints were found in the snow around

28
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: the complex, indicating the child had been walking in the

29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: cold for some time. These footprints allegedly stretched about seven

30
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty feet and led back to an apartment

31
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: unit on the switch Grass drive side, which had its

32
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: front door left open. Despite making several announcements, officers received

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: no response and therefore entered the apartment. Inside, they discovered Nicholas,

34
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: the child's father, sleeping on the couch. After making several

35
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: loud calls, he woke up, acknowledged that the child was his,

36
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: and stated that they belonged in the apartment and he

37
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: should not have been outside. Additional observations from the scene

38
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: were noted in the charging documents. Officers reported that a

39
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: strong smell of marijuana was inside the apartment, and burnt

40
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: marijuana blunts were found beside the man. A baby gate

41
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: at the top of the stairs was also found unlatched,

42
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: and a handgun was spotted on a countertop within reaching

43
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: distance from the child. Nicholas claimed that he had not

44
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: used drugs, but had simply dozed off due to his

45
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: late night job. However, this account differed from the child's

46
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: mother's statement. In a follow up interview, she told police

47
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: that Nicholas had been using marijuana. She also mentioned that

48
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: she had not allowed him to stay in the home

49
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: alone with the husband until that day because she needed

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: to work. On the day of the incident, she had

51
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: tried to contact him multiple times without success. When ems arrived,

52
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: it was determined that the child was suffering from severe

53
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: hypothermia and frostbite on his fingers and toes. The toddler

54
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: was promptly taken to a nearby hospital for treatment was

55
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: reported to be in stable condition. Another resident of that

56
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: apartment complex said, we saw and heard a baby crying,

57
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: but just assumed he was clothed properly and with a parent.

58
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: We couldn't believe a child was wandering out alone without

59
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: the proper clothing in this type of weather. More crime
