In the first portion of the footage, child welfare officials accompanied by law enforcement arrive at a residence to remove children under an emergency temporary custody order reportedly issued by a judge.
The woman in the home becomes emotional and repeatedly denies wrongdoing, insisting she had tested negative for drugs and arguing that her children should be released to their grandmother rather than placed into state care.
Officers can be heard explaining that the custody decision stems from a court order and positive drug screens associated with others in the household. Tensions rise as the woman refuses to hand over a child, leading officers to warn her multiple times that she could be arrested for non-compliance.
After several minutes of argument in the roadway and driveway, additional family members arrive, and officers continue urging the woman to cooperate. The footage ends with her being taken into custody as the children are transferred to authorities under the court order.
