Missed Last Night’s Show? Here’s What You Need to Know!
Last night, the DA Crew Podcast joined forces with Angela Thomas Smith on Beverly Nation Online Radio @ O N E Universe, spotlighting an urgent issue that demands our collective attention: Self-Defense Is Not a Crime.Co-hosts Dwayne & Dr. Sissy led a moving discussion advocating for social justice and human rights, anchored by the heartbreaking case of Tristan Weekley, a middle schooler from Frisco, Texas. In August 2024, Tristan was found unresponsive after school, with acetone in his system. His mother, Chandra Weekley, asserts this was an attempted abduction and poisoning, possibly by a woman who offered Tristan ice cream near campus. While the local authorities have yet to uncover clear criminal evidence, the Weekley family continues to demand answers — and justice.But last night’s conversation went deeper than one case. It was a clarion call to all parents and community members: Our children’s safety comes first.The stats from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children are alarming:
- Attempted abductions most often occur during the hours children are going to and from school (7–9 a.m., 3–4 p.m., 6–7 p.m.)
- These incidents often happen while kids are on foot, biking, or playing outside.
- Speak up.
- Share this message.
- Watch out for your neighbors’ children like your own.

Speaker 8 (04:11):
Well, for those of you who aren't familiar with the case,
miss Weekly is going to tell us a little bit
about what happened to her son and and afterwards, so
you kind of get a general idea I would ask you,
(04:33):
since the since the well, let's just start from the beginning.
Tell us what happened.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, So on August thirteenth, which was the second day
of seventh grade, we dropped Tristan off to Western Middle
School and Frisco. It was his first well, first time
going to school a second day, and when I went
to go pick him up, he was not where I
(05:01):
told him to be. And that it took me past
forty five minutes to realize that my son had passed
out when unconscious and you know, the next thing, I
knew he was in an ambulance. So when I went
to go pick him up. I went to go pick
him up, it was like around three fifty five. School
(05:23):
let out at three forty five, and I told him,
since it was a new school, to be at the
front of the school and if he didn't see me
as soon as school let out, go ahead and go
to the tennis court. And the tennis court is literally
on the same it's like part of the school property.
So Tristan has never walked home. He has never straight
(05:44):
away from where I've told him to be at, so
I kind of knew something was off. As soon as
I got to the school, he wasn't there, Like, I
did not see him. So I went to the tennis court.
I didn't see him there. Then there's an elementary school
right across the street like a park. I even went
to the elementary school and got out the car to
(06:06):
go up the hill to see if I saw him.
I did not see him. So for forty five minutes
I drove, I did not leave that area. I called
home and asked my daughter if she could just check
the camera to see you know, I knew he did
not walk home, but just to see if they had
heard from him. So when it, you know, I had
(06:26):
sent emails to different people at the school that I
had connections with, and nobody said anything. So I went
ahead and I called nine one one. After forty five minutes,
and that's when, you know, I drove up to the
school and I saw an unknown black lady and I
(06:48):
asked her, was you know that my son was missing.
I was on the phone with nine one one. I
was on hold. I was told not to move and
just asked her if there was any kids left in
the building. And she asked me if my son played volleyball,
which there's not a boys volleyball team. But I told her,
you know, he did not play volleyball. He played soccer.
(07:09):
But it was the second day of school, there's no practice.
And she proceeded to tell me that, you know, there
was nobody in the school but volleyball girls, and she
walked off. She didn't say anything. I later found out
that she was actually the assistant principal of the school,
so that shocked me once I found out who she was.
(07:29):
The next day, but when the nine one one dispatcher
came on the phone, they said that they had the
police department, you know, some officers on scene that wanted
to talk to me because they found a kid and
they wanted to make sure, you know, to see if
it was my son. So when they dispassed me in,
(07:50):
the officers told me to describe my child. I let
them know, you know, he was a you know, a
black kid. I described what he had on, and the
officer just kept asking me, you know, can you please
describe his hair, and I'm like, if it's my son,
he can talk, like if he knows I'm his mother.
So he was like, you know, well, the kid we
have is non verbal.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They thought this kid was literally in the sixth grade
or even younger. They thought he was an autistic kid
that couldn't speak. And they so I was like, oh,
that's definitely not my son. You know, he's verbal. They
was like, well, the kid is foaming at the mouth.
So they was like, you know, it could be your child,
(08:32):
but no, it's not because this kid is actually non verbal.
So before we got off the phone, you know, he
described his underwear and I mean, well, he called out
and said he had Batman underwear, and I said, oh,
that's my son. So you know, he gave me the information,
he told me I needed to rush to the scene.
Going to the scene, it was like a maze. And
(08:52):
I've been living in Frisco or this area for a minute,
and I've never seen this neighborhood. This is not somewhere
like you could just it was in the back. It
was probably a literally, I will say it was at
least close to like a ten minute drive almost, but
walking and running it was could be like twenty to
thirty minute walk, depending on your speed or whatever. So
(09:16):
when I got there, my son was already in the ambulance.
They wouldn't let me get close to him. So, you know,
the police officer kind of stopped me. And I don't
know what made me ask this question, but I asked,
where was my son's backpack? Because of course, you know,
this is an unknown neighborhood. He is, you know, I'm
(09:38):
trying to wonder how he got there. So I'm looking
for his stuff, you know, and I saw you know, witnesses,
So I'm like, you know, where is my son's stuff?
So the officer, hey, I spoke to the principal. They said,
your son dropped his backpack and he just his backpack
fell off and he just kept walking. So the facial
expression was like that don't make make any sense. And
(10:01):
I was wondering, how did you get in touch with
the principal so fast? I've been trying to get in
touch with her forty five minutes. I was told nobody
was at the school, so he knew I was about
to ask questions, and he stopped me and he was like,
you know, we got to rush to the ambulance. When
I saw my son in the ambulance, his face looked
(10:22):
he had all you could tell it was dried up
substance all over his whole face, and he was like
a mummy. You know. They was poking him with needles
and my son did not flinch. And at that time
I was unaware that you could really be unconscious but
look alert, you know. So at that time, the ambulance,
(10:42):
you know, told me, hey, we haven't done nothing to him.
So I just was like okay. So I was I
wanted to get in the ambulance, but they said I
could follow, so I was like okay, you know, you know,
they was like, we just need to rush them. And
I'm thinking of police officers, which two were on scene,
they were gonna meet me at the hospital. Because again
(11:02):
as a parent, my son is found at an unknown residence,
he is being poked. You can tell that he's under
some type of influence of something. Even being his mom,
he's afraid of needles, so for him not to even flinch.
So I got to the hospital in Frisco. You know,
the hospital is literally everything in arond the corner. So
we got there in less than ten minutes. So when
(11:25):
I got there, they was already working on my son.
They put a capitor inside. You guys, he did not flinch.
So later to find out that he had acetone in
his system. Basically it was a strong enough and such
a substantial amount that my son could not he couldn't move.
So I'm pretty sure he could probably feel, but he
(11:47):
could not. He wasn't flinching or anything. So that's how
strong that drug was. So and you all will hear
people say, which is crazy that of course they said,
ad can form in your body. But let me say this,
you can get drunk or something can form in your
body that don't. That don't. That's not strong enough where
(12:10):
you can't feel, you can't flinch, you can't, you know,
So to that argument, it's really just crazy, you know
that people just keep on trying to assume, and even
the hospital say the things that they tried to say.
But anyways, so later on that night we did find
out after they did tests because at first they did
(12:32):
not want to do any tests. They wouldn't even I
asked for him to for them to test him to
see if he had been touched, because again, all I
know is he was found at a stranger's doorstep unconscious.
They wouldn't do it. The doctor didn't tell me. They
had a caseworker coming there, and she told me and
(12:53):
my ex husband, no, they couldn't do it because children
had rights. And I was like, well, he's only twelve
and I'm his parents, so you're telling me that if
I'm thinking something has happened, he's unconscious, he cannot talk,
he's you know, he would have spells to where he
was literally literally I haven't told anybody this, but my son.
(13:15):
He would be He would start randomly screaming. He didn't
know who anybody was, He didn't even know I was
his mom. So it was a scary sight to see. Okay,
So you know, I was like, I don't understand so
they wouldn't do anything. They wouldn't They did not look
at a kid would sound on a doorstep like they
(13:35):
really was literally treating it as if I brought my
son in the emergency room and said, oh, he's been
feeling sick. You know. That is how they treated it,
instead of saying, a kid is found randomly on the
doorstep with no feeling he's unconscious, That's how they did it.
That was weird to me. So the police officers did
(13:59):
not come to the hospital. That was also weird. When
I called nine one one, the NUN emergency line to
ask questions, the dispatcher was so rude. I asked him
they would not give me the officers names straight off,
I said, hey, I just want to know who the
officers were. Can I get their names? They refused to
(14:22):
give me the officers' names that found my son, which
is crazy. So I told him, you know, I said, hey,
I'm just trying to get in touch with the officers.
Told me that the officers had already clocked out for
the day. Now, mind you, you guys, this is all
within ten minutes we literally had made it to the hospital.
(14:43):
I said, well, I'm trying to get in touch with
them because they said they spoke to the principal. The
guy said, well, we don't work for the school, so
you know, I stayed come. Another thing that threw me
off that they told me, oh, we can read the report.
So again, you guys, this is within less than ten minutes.
The offic so did not come to the hospital. They
probably made it to the you know, to the police
(15:05):
station about the same time we made it to the hospital.
I don't know what kind of report you can write,
you know, within a couple of seconds, which I knew
that was a lot. You know, that was so basically
in the report that the person read was a kid
was found on a doorstep, uh dropped his backpack and
(15:28):
and basically that was it. Now, at the time, I
was not thinking straight. I knew that it was not
And y'all can stop me anytime. I'm sorry, you're fine,
You're fine. At the time, none of it was adding up.
But I had never had any run ins with Frisco ID.
I had never had any run ins with Frisco PD.
(15:50):
So it didn't like even done on me, like this
is weird, you know what I'm saying, Like this is
really some weird stuff. That's going on, and everything is
so close in the proximity of where I live, you know,
So you know, I said, okay, I said, I'll go
ahead and I'll just go to the school in the
(16:11):
morning and i'll call tomorrow. The guy was like, okay,
you know. So when I got off the phone, they
were moving my son into ICU.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
My son stayed in the hospital for two weeks, two
whole weeks, but they, you know, they was moving him
to I See You and I remember, you know, they
were still treating it as if it was just hey,
a mom brought a kid in, uh, And they wasn't
trying to do nothing, we said, They said we had
to wait for him to wake up and he had
(16:42):
to consent to getting tested. Well, my son, you know,
when we took him up to I See You, I
was outside of the room and I remember one of
the nurses was like, your son is calling for you.
So he was kind of coming out of whatever he
was in, and I remember, I'm for sitting down and
it was god like, I you know, I don't know
(17:04):
why I asked him this, but I was like, hey,
did he try to grab you? Because whenever we think
about something like that we think of somebody more masculine,
you know. So I'm like, did some did he try
to get you and you got away? And my son said, no,
she tried to get me. And at that point the
tech looked up. It was just me and a tech
(17:26):
in the room, and he looked up and he was like,
what did he just say? And my son, I said,
what do you mean she tried to get you? And
he said, clearest day, he said, Mom, do you remember
when you pick me up on the first day of school?
And it was crazy because I walked to get him
on the first day of school because you know, he's
going into the seventh grade. I'm working from I work
(17:46):
from home now, so I'm trying to like he a
big kid, you know. So I'm like, I know, of
the mom, I ain't gonna never let him walk home.
But I was like, let me try to start letting loose.
This my last my baby. So I walked to get
him and he said, remember when you walked to get me,
and you know, all the people was in the you know,
(18:06):
the bus rider line or whatever. Now I remember some teachers,
but I you know, but he was like, she was
she was out there, and I said, oh wow, he said, yeah,
he said, he said, when you drop. When I went
to school the next day, in the hallway where all
the teachers. You know, you meet the students in the hallway.
(18:27):
You know, when you go to school, all the teachers
are in the hallway. He said, she was in the hallway.
So this lady was It's like she made herself visible,
but not visible, you know, to where he knew. He
saw her more than once, so he thought she was
a teacher. So he said he went to the bathroom
and when he went to the bathroom, there's no doors,
(18:50):
and he said he heard a lady call his name,
and he said when he went out, it was the
young lady. He said that she told her him. She said,
nice to meet you, christ in my name of Amanda.
And you know, they talked for a little bit and
she offered him some ice cream. Now this is when
he told us the story in the hospital. He said,
(19:13):
you know, Mama, she offered me some ice cream. I
told her no, thank you, and you know, she became
agitated and then she smushed it in my face and
my finger pricked. It felt like she pricked my finger.
So when he opened up more recently, without me saying anything.
(19:34):
Somebody asked him some questions for the first time, and
he said, no, she she actually talked to him for
a couple of minutes. You know, he was like, she
talked to me a little because I always wondered what
he meant by she became agitated. So now I understand
that when she was talking to him, she seemed very welcoming,
(19:56):
you know, and when she offered him the ice cream
and he didn't take it, she became agitated and she
smushed and he said after that everything went kind of dark,
and you know, when he woke up pretty much he
was in the hospital, so he did run out of
the cafeteria door. Now skipping today too. After I found
(20:20):
all this out, you know, I asked my mom and
my ex husband. I said, I need y'all to stay
at the hospital, right, don't leave his side. You know,
they made sure they kept attaching their twenty four hours
because now they were starting to do protocol. You know.
So when I I stayed majority of the night and
(20:43):
I came home because I was like, I need to
make sure I'm making school first thing in the morning.
A police officer, they the social workers did tell a
police officer up there, and the police officer did call
me while I was at home. My son was sleep
but he said he didn't want to wake Tristing up.
So till this day, a police officer, the police department,
(21:05):
and the detectives refused to question Tristan. I just want
that to be I even ask them, why why why
haven't y'all questioned him? Why haven't y'all got his side
of the story. You know, you're asking me, you know,
but he can tell you hisself. And the detective told
me he refused, He was like, we don't need to
(21:27):
talk to him. So that was always weird as well.
So when I went to the school the next day,
I met the principal for the first time. And when
I walked in, the first thing she said, you you know, hey,
you know, I got Tristan's backpack. Let me get it
(21:47):
for you. She didn't say, how is your son? You know,
whatever happened to him? What was he found okay? Because
she didn't know yet, right, It was nothing like that.
It was, oh, let me get his backpack and give
it to you. And I said, well, wait, you know
when she went and got the backpack, she came back,
(22:08):
I said, wait a minute, I said, one, my son
is an ICU, right, I said, he also had a
acetone was found in his system. My son was found
unconscious on a doorstep. Right, So I said, but you
are the missing piece to the puzzle because you told
an officer that my son backpack fell off and he
(22:31):
kept walking. My son is twelve. I picked him up
every day myself from school since he started kindergarten. Okay,
and never have Tristan just dropped his backpack. And if
you got any kids in school, if y'all know how
crazy the school pickup line is and the school is,
you dropped backpack, somebody gonna pick it up. Hey, you
know you dropped the backpack. I told her, I said,
(22:52):
will you please show me where he dropped his backpack
on the camera before you showed me the footage. So
she showed me where he you know, the door he
walked out of and where his backpack dropped. So I said, okay,
roll the footage. Now. She told the you know, she
told the people, the officers that he walked off. Calmly boom.
(23:15):
When we played the footage, it showed my son walking
through the cafeteria two to three minutes before the bell rang.
He was frantic. You could tell. He walked out the
cafeteria door. He looked to the left. There's a deaddy
and there's a fence. You would literally you're you're you're,
you're railroaded in. There's nowhere to go unless you run
(23:38):
around the whole building. You caught by. Then there's just
you should not go that way. And he looked to
the right, and my son ran. Now, when he walked
out the cafeteria door frantically, you could tell he was thinking.
He put his backpack down to alleviate Wait, you could
tell what he was doing, and he ran. She stopped
(23:59):
the camera. She looked at me. She said, oh my god,
he did look francy. I said, well, and he ran.
I said, well, you told them, I said, there's a
difference between your backpack something dropping and you putting it down.
And there's a difference between running and walking. Let's just
get that straight. So we're most saying the same thing.
(24:21):
So if you watched the same thing I watched when
the police officers called you about a missing kid, this
is why wouldn't you tell them this? She said, Oh,
I wasn't thinking, you know, now, you know. So I
told her to replay it again, right because I wanted
to make sure that I saw the timestamp. Now, I
(24:41):
used to work at a bank where I was a
branch manager. I had to watch the footage all the time,
so I knew what the time stamp mean. I didn't
know what, you know, I knew like it was off.
So when she ran it back, I said, why was
my son out of class two to three minutes before
the bell rung? She could not answer that. In most
cases you would have called the teacher. They would have,
(25:04):
you know, let me find out. She didn't want to
find She didn't say she said, I'll ask her. I
don't know, you know. At that time, she turned the
footage off, you guys, and I was denied footage. Four
months after that, they would not let me watch no
more footage. So she sat down and she was like,
I feel like you're interrogating me because I went on
(25:25):
to ask her questions, like hey, I did reach out
to a counselor, and she told me that nobody on
her staff has to respond after unauthorized. She said it
another way, but it was basically, after a certain time,
no one has to respond to you. Right, So I said,
(25:46):
I understand it. But before I could tell her that
the counselor did respond, she kept talking. I said, well,
I did drive up to the school and I realized
that I'm outside of your office and I met a
black I met a no, no, you know what, I
didn't say the color, I said, I met a lady.
You guys. She said, oh, that was my assistant principal.
(26:06):
So right, so how did you know? You know, like
I'm looking like I didn't even know that, So how
did you?
Speaker 4 (26:14):
So?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I said, oh, that was your assistant principal. She said, yeah,
she came in and she asked me if I was
aware that a kid was missing. So I'm shortening the
story so to make a long story short. At first,
she said, you guys that she was not aware that
a kid was missing, right, But when the assistant principal
(26:34):
walked in that office and asked her, the police department
had already contacted her. So I was on hold for
a while. I didn't know that they were actually the
dispatchers that and the police department was actually calling the school.
So while I was sitting outside on hold, they were
(26:54):
inside the police department or whoever it was they were
talking to the principal.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Right, So when I called her in a lie because
I said, well, if the assistant principal came here and
asked you if you knew a kid was missing, one
you knew before she did. You said no at first,
and she was like, oh, yeah, well, you know a
lot was going on. And I said, well another thing,
why didn't your assistant principal tell me who she was.
(27:21):
Why didn't she let me know that she was coming
in here to ask you and that she was going
to check footage to see if a kid got on
the wrong bus. She said, I don't know. She said,
we thought you were gone. I said, well I had
told her that I was supposed to wait outside, So
that right there sounds crazy, okay, So I said, okay,
(27:42):
Well she said she would be right back. So I
thought that she was going to go get the teacher
to ask my son about to let me know if
my son why he wasn't in class right on that
footage I saw, Well, she went and got an officer.
This officer name was Richard Pippen. So when he came
in again, you guys, I was not thinking. I didn't
(28:06):
put everything together until after a couple of days. So
I wasn't even thinking, like, where did the officer come from?
You know? Now I knew that our schools had officers
on site. I didn't know what their title was, right,
but I knew they did. So I was like, well,
(28:27):
maybe I didn't know. But the first thing he came
in and he said, he introduced himself, right, and he
told me who he wasn't He said that, you know,
he wasn't the SRO at the school. He told me
he did not work at the school. And he told
me that he did not know any of the protocol right.
(28:48):
I later found out that he was basically answering all
the questions that he thought I would have asked. You
know what I'm saying, he wanted to throw I think
their whole thing was to throw me off, right, So
I didn't I didn't understand. You know, I didn't even
know what the SRO was. I'm like, views listening, what
is an SRO office? It is a school resource officer,
(29:11):
So it is an actual offer officer that works for
h your city's department, but they are assigned to different schools. Right.
But so everything he said he wasn't he was Okay,
so you know, he said, hey, you know, I got kids,
I know how you feel. And he literally he left.
(29:33):
He left. He left right after having a conversation with
the principal for three to four hours, you guys, three
to four hours. It was nothing. It was nothing but
lie after lie after lie after lie. Immediately her boss
(29:54):
came in. I think his name was it Will either
Mark or Mike. I got to get the name, but
he came in. They busted in because by that time
I had I had the principal and the assistant principal
in the office, and so they busted in. They made
the two ladies get out, and the first thing they
said was they had watched the footage. Now mind you,
(30:18):
this was my first time because it just happened. So
for two people that are higher up, like probably I
would say, he's the manager, he's right under the superintendent.
For them to walk in and tell me they don't
watch footage, it was just like it's like me, US
(30:39):
US three, US four talking and I haven't even told
y'all the story, and you guys are already you know,
kind of y'all know more than I do, you know,
like you know, it's like Sissy tell you know, Dwayne
ain't supposed to know nothing, but Sissy done, you know,
So it was just like so I asked him, I said,
I asked the the gentlemen, I said, do you want
(31:01):
to know what happened? Like what the principal said? He
said no, and he said it as stern as he
could like it blew my mind to where I grabbed
my son's backpack. I stood up and I said, hey,
I said, I'm about to get everybody, every news station
I can at the front door of the school. Just
give me a couple of seconds, you know. So I
(31:23):
guess the the person that I guess it's probably, I
would say, like a spokesperson or whatever. You know. He
asked for us to all sit down, and the first
thing they said was that my son did look frantic.
Right now. Mind you, we didn't watch the footage together,
so I don't know if when she walked out, she
(31:44):
went and called for backup and they had washed the footage,
but they were like, you know, hey, you know your
son did look frantic. What do you want to happen?
And I'm not gonna lie, said, I want her fired because
what I heard for four hours, I'm ninety nine percent
sure that. I was like, this lady did something to
my child, like she Now, I couldn't say the officer
(32:06):
because at that time I believed who he said. He
was not right, so I had no reason to believe
anything else. They was like, well, we got to get
HR involved and we'll get an investigation.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
They never told me what I had to do, so
they didn't tell me that I had to send an
email or go online and you know, report to the district.
They didn't tell me what I had to do. So
I'm thinking they're gonna do an investigation and I'm gonna
hear something back you guys that did not happen. The
next day, I asked them that before I left the school.
(32:41):
When I left, I sent an email and I asked
them if I could get a copy of the footage
sent to me. She was like, no, you can come
back and watch it now. When I came back the
next day, this was the last time I was ever
on school property, they set me down with the assistant principal.
She tried to show me what she wanted to show me.
(33:03):
I said, no, show me, like, I want you to
play it all the way through, Like, don't show me
bits and pieces, because I know how things could look
like something is not, you know, so she wouldn't do that.
She just said, well, she wanted to only show me
Trystan walking out of the classroom with a whole bunch
of people. I said, that can't be true, because if
(33:26):
that's the case, it would have followed him into the cafeteria.
If anybody look at my interview from a year ago,
From the time that I have been on camera, I
have always said, there was nobody in that footage with
my son. So what they tried to show me this
year in a hearing with a bunch of kids in
the cafeteria, that was definitely edited. I know what I saw.
(33:49):
I didn't see that, and it's on social media. So anyways,
she wouldn't show me that. She just kept saying, I
was told you was coming to watch a certain on
the footage you was coming to watch. I said, no,
play it through. Now I had only been in there
less than five minutes. I asked her. Did she talk
to the teacher about if my son was in class?
(34:10):
She said no. I said, can you ask her? She
told me no. I said, can you get somebody to
ask if my son was in class. She said no.
As soon as she said no, and I'm I'm I'm
this is not theatrical okay, And I'm not gonna yell
in y'all ear. But the principal, who I talked to
(34:31):
for four hours, she came and she busted in the cap.
She busted in the office. She did not greet me.
She looked right at the assistant principle and she said,
we have a meeting. We can't be late. Let's go.
She was a little more stern than that. Now my
daughter was a witness. My twenty one year old daughter
(34:52):
was in their witness. I stood up. I was at
that time. I knew.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
One.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I told them they are bad actress and actresses. I
knew something. Something had been done to my son purposely
when she did that. So I said, I said, what
is wrong with you? I said, you you set this
meeting up right? You busting here a parent where you
know her son, isn't I see you? You don't say hey,
(35:20):
thiss weekly. Her name is Katie Grinaldo. It's me gran
missus Rinaldo. You don't nothing, you literally, but I say
you are a bad actress. Now she stepped back because
I was angry. I wasn't yelling, but at that time
I knew something happened to my son. It was not
by certain you know, it wasn't by like accident. So
(35:43):
she walked out. Now I'm paying attention to you guys.
She did her hand like this. Guess who walked in?
So I called nine one one and I said, I
want some police officers down here. Now, I said, because
something happened to my son. They did something to my son.
Well I saw her do like this, and guess who
(36:05):
walked in the same officer, right, I said. I knew
his name. I said, mister Pippin. And the lady the dispatcher, said,
Officer Pippin is there. I said yeah. She said, oh, well,
we don't need the dispatch any officers. There's one on scene.
I said, well, I said, I don't even know where
(36:28):
he came from. They was like, well, no, you know,
but he's an officer. So I hung up the phone
and he came in the same way. He didn't, you know,
he didn't he didn't come in and try to put
me out because I wasn't out rape. But I was
really stern because now I'm like, okay, all types of
red flags are going off. He asked me if I
(36:49):
could sit down. He said, can you sit down for
a minute. I said yes. He said, can do you
mind if I talk to you? I said yes. He said,
remember what I told you yesterday? I said yeah. He
said what did I say? I said, you said, you're
not an SRO, you don't work for the school, and
you don't know any of the school policies. I repeated
it back to him and he said yeah. He said,
(37:12):
but I know how you feel. He said, you're in
the wrong place. He said, you should be at the
district the office down the street. I said, well, I
didn't know that because I was told to come here
right and again he tried to get me with the
kid thing. You know, hey, I got kids just like you.
I understand. You know, you need to go up there.
You need to go ahead and follo a complaint, you know,
(37:34):
to get an investigation going. And I left. That was
the last time I was at the school. You guys,
so just feeding it up. The crazy part is that
this same man, I found out that he was head
of the investigation of what at the school. So the
school had had an investigation going. Y'all see my hands
(37:56):
and then they had not put it to detective on
my son's case because the school said they were going
to do an investigation first. Right, So the day that
man walked in there and told me who he was not,
he was head of the investigation. I want you to
know that. So the second day when he came and
talked to me, he was head of the investigation. So
(38:20):
he was knowingly lion, purposely lion to me and giving
me unsolicited lies. Okay, I found that out on accident
when I kept going to the police department because my
son did cold y'all, he almost lost his life and
I see you. And when they brought him back, I
(38:41):
was concerned because I hadn't heard from no one, not
a detective, not a police officer. So I was like,
I need someone to hear my story because if something
happened to my son, I'm his only voice, you know.
So I'm like, I need to get somebody up here
to hear the voice. So when I called Chrisco PD
that night, they told me that it was on a Friday,
(39:04):
that detectives didn't work on weekends, right, so I had
to wait until a Monday. So I went to the
police department and I found out that. Now, the detective
that I talked to still did not tell me, you guys,
that who was the investigator at the school? Right? But
he told me that the school was doing an investigation.
(39:26):
That's why a detective wasn't on the case. But I said,
I haven't talked to nobody. So he was like, I'm
gonna put the detective on the case.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
So I hadn't heard from the detective yet. I went
back to the police department. I was going all week.
An unknown officer at the window. He was like, well,
I can tell you who's the investigator at the school,
you guys. When he told me Richard Pippen, I could
have passed out. He saw the expression on my face
(39:55):
and he was like, is everything okay? And I tried
to mask it because I did not want to look
as stunned as I did, and I just said, no,
I have no Now I'm like, oh, because so people
were telling me things because they thought I knew, you know,
So in the beginning I don't think that certain people
was I was trying to cover up. But once the
(40:20):
word was getting around to whoever was trying to cover
up what they have been since day one you could
tell when I was getting information people was not meaning
to give me the information. So at that time, that's
when I found out he was the SRO. That's when
I found out that he was head of the investigation.
(40:41):
This man had put out information that he had spoke
to me numerous the times. And when I told the detective,
his boss and other people at the police department, you guys,
they told me they cannot help what I thought I heard.
So then when I clearly told them that I had
I talked to anybody from the school about an investigation,
(41:04):
they basically was calling me a liar. So I'm saying,
I haven't heard. So the interaction that I had with
this officer those two days, they said that was communication
just and then last to just leave it off the detective.
They took the case, which was Detective Folk. The day
(41:29):
he took it, he said, I asked him, why did
Frisco PD Frisco PD, and why did Frisco ID put
out false statements to the public. He told me that
he didn't put that out. He wouldn't his department would
not have put that out. When I asked him who
put it out, he said it was somebody higher in
a higher pay pay grade than he was. Right, So
(41:53):
he said he had so much footage to watch, he
had to get footage. This detective closed my son's case
in less than a week. I knew from the footage
he claimed he had to watch that he did not
watch no footage, y'all. But he claimed he watched. He
didn't see a lady. He said. The only person he
saw on camera with any interaction with my son was
(42:17):
the sro The same yeah, the same sro O that
said he didn't he didn't work there at that school.
But you're on camera, Uh where my son got information
from you? Right? Because my son did not, you know,
to ask about classes. The two things that I want
(42:38):
to be taken away from what I just said is
this year I found out that my son's case was closed.
The detective never watched any footage, right, he never watched
any footage. So that was a lie, right when my
when the detective tried to get footage from the school
this year, they could not provide the detective anything after
(43:01):
noon after twelve o'clock. The other thing I wanted to
be taken away is my son was seen on camera
two to three minutes walking out of the cafeteria. Right,
he was out of class way before that, because he
was in the hallway, he was in the bathroom, he
talked to this woman.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
My question has always been, and nobody has said anything,
is why would a kid go to the bathroom and
have his backpack? Why would he need his backpack unless
my son thought it was the end of the day.
As this story, like as I said here and it's
(43:44):
been a year, and the things that I found out
and I've heard myself. They got my son out of
that classroom, and they made my son think that it
was school was out, because I always asked him and
wonder when he was in the hospital, why he kept
saying When I said why you had your backpack? He
said school was let out. They let us out, I said, Tristan,
(44:06):
but you were the only one in the cafeteria. So
it was key things that my son said that never
added up until until recently within the year of basically,
whoever let my son out of this classroom or however
they they've made him seem they made it seem to him,
(44:29):
take your backpack, school is letting out, you know. So
that's what those are the two things that I really
want people to take away is that the detective never looked,
he lied about watching footage. My son never was given
a fair chance right, and a kid had his backpack
and he was made to believe that it was the
end of the day.
Speaker 4 (44:48):
So oh wow, yeah.
Speaker 8 (44:52):
Miss Weekly, how is Tristan today?
Speaker 1 (44:57):
He's not good. A lot of people ask me that question,
and I, Sissy, I always say, oh, he's doing better,
but my son finally broke down on Monday. Homeschool is
hard for him. And when I tell people that my
son's childhood was snatched away, you know, people still be like, oh, well,
he's only thirteen. No, his childhood was snatched away. He
(45:18):
was looking forward to the seventh grade. He was a
kid that all he knew was school and now he
was snatched out of school because of an incident, and
he's isolated. We try to get him out, but he don't.
He don't. He can't talk. He don't talk to friends.
You know, all his friends are in school. He doesn't
go out. So it's like he is isolated and and
(45:41):
homeschool is hard from a kid that is used to
having extra support and extra help to having to learn
on his own. It's not a lot of support in homeschool.
Like I don't know if it's because of the school
that we have him in, it's not a lot of support.
And my son broke down, Sissy, And it was the
first time in a whole year that I've seen my son.
(46:04):
I've seen that same kid in the ambulance. I've seen
that same kid that I saw in the hospitals for
two weeks who was in so much pain, that was
having seizures, that was crying off and on, had crying spells.
And it broke me down because I had to apologize
to him again and tell him I'm sorry one because
(46:26):
nothing has been done. He didn't deserve it. You know,
everybody if life is as normal for everybody, right, But
he's a kid that don't know how to express hisself. So, Sissy,
he's not doing good. And as a parent, you know
my son, you know, he tries to not say a
(46:47):
lot because he's trying because he don't want me to
stress out. You know, he knows I'm still advocating. He
don't want me to wear it. But I think you know,
he had he went he was at his breaking point
on my day, and I had to remember instead of
like telling a story and me reminiscent. I had to
(47:07):
realize that my son is trying to He tried to
block it out, but you can only block it out
for so long, so he's not doing it so good.
You know, we.
Speaker 4 (47:18):
Definitely would We definitely keep him in prayer and keep
you guys in prayer because I know, just from listening
to the story and knowing of the story and speaking
with you before, this is a moment that's that's real strange.
I think that's the word I can use. It's strange.
And I know this is limited time here. I know
(47:42):
you guys have another event schedule in January to be
able to go more in depth and sit down and
really go into the thing, into this situation. We wanted
to take the day to really just give people a
foundation and let them know exactly what's going on in
Tristan and tristan situation in his life, so they can
(48:04):
kind of know what's going on because people heard the
initial stories and hurt the initial reports, and they were
not true and they were far from what happened to
Tristan that day, and so we want to make sure
that people got that opportunity to hear that story directly
because they only hear it and get some pieces of
(48:24):
conversations about other situations that's going on in Frisco and
in Texas, and they really don't get the chance to
hear directly of the situation. And what better way is
from his mom and from his mother in the front
of person that dealt with it from the beginning. And
we just really want to thank you today for coming
on and sharing with us that story. And I just
(48:46):
want to let you know that we're definitely here and
we're definitely going to continue to work with you and
work for you guys in this situation, and this won't
be the last opportunity that we will have to talk
about this, but we know that in January and sister
can share that that date and everything in the platform
so people know. And also, Shandra, before you leave, I
(49:08):
do want you to share the gofund me because you
do have a gofund me up for for Tristan for
the situation, and we definitely share that.
Speaker 1 (49:19):
Yeah, I'm trying not to cry, like I don't even
sometimes I forget about the go from the account. But
the go fu me account is under Chandra Weekly it's
my name. You will see me and my son's picture
on there. That is to help give my son into therapy,
(49:40):
that is, to try to to get him into some activities,
and to just help us out because I was all
for almost four months and I was not getting paid.
So it put my family in a financial financial It
(50:02):
put us behind badly. So like when they started to
change my insurance, I had to pay copays. I couldn't
even afford to pay co pays. No more so when
my son said he needed more therapy, I can't afford that,
you know. So the go fund is under my name
Chandra weekly Uh c h A N d r A
(50:22):
and w e e k l e Y. And again
you will just see a picture. Okay, yeah, it's c
h A N d r A and my last name
is w e e k l e Y. I know
it's l y on here, but it's l e y.
But that picture that's on there, that was actually the
(50:47):
day after we came home from the hospital and me
and Tristan was hugging in the bed, you know, because
I was just so grateful. So that's the reason I
put that picture up because every everything that happened to
my son, he still gave a smile you know, so yeah,
most definitely, and I'm want to say something.
Speaker 8 (51:10):
Go ahead, Oh, I was just gonna say, Duane, it's
been a pleasure, and Miss thank you very much for
joining us and to the viewers. We will be doing
a podcast with Miss Weekly on the eleventh of January.

If you just send me some information, I'll definitely share
it out on my platforms. I would also like to
extend an opportunity to share your story inside of my magazine.
Speaker 4 (51:56):
I have a magazine.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
Matter of fact, I just got my November you today,
but I.
Speaker 5 (52:01):
Have a magazine focused on sharing things black about our
black and brown community because a lot of things go
unheard concerning our black and brown community. So I've been
had this magazine now five years to be six years
in May, and my whole focus is to talk about
(52:23):
those things that seem to get brushed under the rug.
So I want to send this to you an opportunity
to share your baby story inside of this magazine and
we invite you back anytime you want to come and
share on our platform.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
You're more than welcome.
Speaker 5 (52:44):
Doctor Ceci and Dwayne, they stopped by as much as
they can. I'm thinking about just offering them a spot
for next season because we're getting ready to wrap up
season three here on the podcast the thirty first of
the December. But we will be back for season four
February the first, and we are about being the change
(53:09):
that we desired to see in this world. I'm glad
that you are sharing your story. There are so many
things that you shared today that just it's unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (53:19):
It's unacceptable.
Speaker 5 (53:20):
I can't believe that a lot of these things slipped
through and people did not address them.
Speaker 1 (53:27):
It's sad. I'm sitting here.
Speaker 5 (53:31):
There's no way that people didn't realize that this was
a straight cover up. I don't know, but I mean,
it speaks nothing but cover up from.
Speaker 4 (53:41):
Every one of my hosts.
Speaker 5 (53:42):
That's the first thing that they say, and this is
their first time hearing about this story, but immediately they.
Speaker 1 (53:49):
Say cover up.
Speaker 5 (53:50):
And ye, and that's all I heard as you were speaking,
that that was all I heard. So I just know
that we are here. I also have a five a
M prayer a prayer line. We would definitely be lifting
your baby up and your family up because we're tired
of thing these things happening, and we want these things
(54:12):
that are being done in the dark and and these
corrupt things to be exposed.
Speaker 1 (54:18):
So definitely, you have a platform.
Speaker 5 (54:21):
You have two amazing people sitting right there on that
platform that are definitely doing an amazing job and advocating
for for justice. Yeah, and I'm just I'm just grateful
for you coming by and sharing your story. So just
know that the platform is open for you anytime. I'm
(54:41):
gonna get on your way. I'm sorry, but I just
felt like I needed to come on and let you
know that you have a place, know that you you
have an outlet, because your voice needs to be heard,
it needs to be amplify.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
Most definitely, I really appreciate it. And if y'all look
up the story. People always do this all the time, y'all.
But our name is l E y, So it's w
e e k l e y h. But as soon
as you put it in Tristan story is gonna come up.
But it's w e E k l E Y. And
I just want to say thank you for allowing me
(55:22):
to use your platform. Thank you since and Dwayne, I
know I was trying to talk fast because I know
Dwayne was like thirty minutes and I was like, oh lord,
I'm looking at the time, and I was. But you know,
I did share some things that I have not shared
honestly with anybody else. But thank you again. I am
excited and ready to you know, be on the platform
(55:44):
to go more into detail. And yeah, like I'm glad
I got a team behind me and people are really
looking into it and that people are starting to really
listen with a good ear and notice that you know,
it was definitely a cover up and they're still trying
to cover it up. But my son deserves justice. He
(56:04):
somebody to be held accountable. So if we never find
out who this woman is, that the people that are
trying to cover it up be held accountable so that
they would think twice before trying to pull this again,
you know, as boldly as they did the first time.
So thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (56:21):
Be right about it and definitely let Trustan know and
you know, Chandra that we do have you guys back,
and we're praying, and not only praying, but we're physically
on top of this moment and behind you guys, and
whatever way we need to be, we will be in
all of our platforms, in our lives. We are there
for you because I understand that pain. And yeah, like
(56:42):
I told you before on TikTok, I apologize to someone
that lived near your community that just kind of overlooked
this thing and took the news media's report as go
and didn't look into it. And that's that's an error
on our part for doing so. Yeah, and so we
have to, as Angelust say, we have to be accountable
(57:03):
for each other, to each other and make sure that
these type of things don't happen. Because Tristan went through
something that is horrible and the more that I hear
about it, the more I listened to it, the more
I see that it was and that's why I was traumatized.
And so we do need to hold them accountable because
they know, and that's bottom line, they know what happened
(57:25):
to that baby, and they don't want to let us
know because it looks bad for the political and the
financial history interests of Frisco, Collin County and the state
of Texas. And so we have to call it out
and we have to hold them accountable.

You're welcome. Thank you for allowing me to be on

Speaker 8 (04:11):
Well, for those of you who aren't familiar with the case,
miss Weekly is going to tell us a little bit
about what happened to her son and and afterwards, so
you kind of get a general idea I would ask you,
(04:33):
since the since the well, let's just start from the beginning.
Tell us what happened.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, So on August thirteenth, which was the second day
of seventh grade, we dropped Tristan off to Western Middle
School and Frisco. It was his first well, first time
going to school a second day, and when I went
to go pick him up, he was not where I
(05:01):
told him to be. And that it took me past
forty five minutes to realize that my son had passed
out when unconscious and you know, the next thing, I
knew he was in an ambulance. So when I went
to go pick him up. I went to go pick
him up, it was like around three fifty five. School
(05:23):
let out at three forty five, and I told him,
since it was a new school, to be at the
front of the school and if he didn't see me
as soon as school let out, go ahead and go
to the tennis court. And the tennis court is literally
on the same it's like part of the school property.
So Tristan has never walked home. He has never straight
(05:44):
away from where I've told him to be at, so
I kind of knew something was off. As soon as
I got to the school, he wasn't there, Like, I
did not see him. So I went to the tennis court.
I didn't see him there. Then there's an elementary school
right across the street like a park. I even went
to the elementary school and got out the car to
(06:06):
go up the hill to see if I saw him.
I did not see him. So for forty five minutes
I drove, I did not leave that area. I called
home and asked my daughter if she could just check
the camera to see you know, I knew he did
not walk home, but just to see if they had
heard from him. So when it, you know, I had
(06:26):
sent emails to different people at the school that I
had connections with, and nobody said anything. So I went
ahead and I called nine one one. After forty five minutes,
and that's when, you know, I drove up to the
school and I saw an unknown black lady and I
(06:48):
asked her, was you know that my son was missing.
I was on the phone with nine one one. I
was on hold. I was told not to move and
just asked her if there was any kids left in
the building. And she asked me if my son played volleyball,
which there's not a boys volleyball team. But I told her,
you know, he did not play volleyball. He played soccer.
(07:09):
But it was the second day of school, there's no practice.
And she proceeded to tell me that, you know, there
was nobody in the school but volleyball girls, and she
walked off. She didn't say anything. I later found out
that she was actually the assistant principal of the school,
so that shocked me once I found out who she was.
(07:29):
The next day, but when the nine one one dispatcher
came on the phone, they said that they had the
police department, you know, some officers on scene that wanted
to talk to me because they found a kid and
they wanted to make sure, you know, to see if
it was my son. So when they dispassed me in,
(07:50):
the officers told me to describe my child. I let
them know, you know, he was a you know, a
black kid. I described what he had on, and the
officer just kept asking me, you know, can you please
describe his hair, and I'm like, if it's my son,
he can talk, like if he knows I'm his mother.
So he was like, you know, well, the kid we
have is non verbal.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They thought this kid was literally in the sixth grade
or even younger. They thought he was an autistic kid
that couldn't speak. And they so I was like, oh,
that's definitely not my son. You know, he's verbal. They
was like, well, the kid is foaming at the mouth.
So they was like, you know, it could be your child,
(08:32):
but no, it's not because this kid is actually non verbal.
So before we got off the phone, you know, he
described his underwear and I mean, well, he called out
and said he had Batman underwear, and I said, oh,
that's my son. So you know, he gave me the information,
he told me I needed to rush to the scene.
Going to the scene, it was like a maze. And
(08:52):
I've been living in Frisco or this area for a minute,
and I've never seen this neighborhood. This is not somewhere
like you could just it was in the back. It
was probably a literally, I will say it was at
least close to like a ten minute drive almost, but
walking and running it was could be like twenty to
thirty minute walk, depending on your speed or whatever. So
(09:16):
when I got there, my son was already in the ambulance.
They wouldn't let me get close to him. So, you know,
the police officer kind of stopped me. And I don't
know what made me ask this question, but I asked,
where was my son's backpack? Because of course, you know,
this is an unknown neighborhood. He is, you know, I'm
(09:38):
trying to wonder how he got there. So I'm looking
for his stuff, you know, and I saw you know, witnesses,
So I'm like, you know, where is my son's stuff?
So the officer, hey, I spoke to the principal. They said,
your son dropped his backpack and he just his backpack
fell off and he just kept walking. So the facial
expression was like that don't make make any sense. And
(10:01):
I was wondering, how did you get in touch with
the principal so fast? I've been trying to get in
touch with her forty five minutes. I was told nobody
was at the school, so he knew I was about
to ask questions, and he stopped me and he was like,
you know, we got to rush to the ambulance. When
I saw my son in the ambulance, his face looked
(10:22):
he had all you could tell it was dried up
substance all over his whole face, and he was like
a mummy. You know. They was poking him with needles
and my son did not flinch. And at that time
I was unaware that you could really be unconscious but
look alert, you know. So at that time, the ambulance,
(10:42):
you know, told me, hey, we haven't done nothing to him.
So I just was like okay. So I was I
wanted to get in the ambulance, but they said I
could follow, so I was like okay, you know, you know,
they was like, we just need to rush them. And
I'm thinking of police officers, which two were on scene,
they were gonna meet me at the hospital. Because again
(11:02):
as a parent, my son is found at an unknown residence,
he is being poked. You can tell that he's under
some type of influence of something. Even being his mom,
he's afraid of needles, so for him not to even flinch.
So I got to the hospital in Frisco. You know,
the hospital is literally everything in arond the corner. So
we got there in less than ten minutes. So when
(11:25):
I got there, they was already working on my son.
They put a capitor inside. You guys, he did not flinch.
So later to find out that he had acetone in
his system. Basically it was a strong enough and such
a substantial amount that my son could not he couldn't move.
So I'm pretty sure he could probably feel, but he
(11:47):
could not. He wasn't flinching or anything. So that's how
strong that drug was. So and you all will hear
people say, which is crazy that of course they said,
ad can form in your body. But let me say this,
you can get drunk or something can form in your
body that don't. That don't. That's not strong enough where
(12:10):
you can't feel, you can't flinch, you can't, you know,
So to that argument, it's really just crazy, you know
that people just keep on trying to assume, and even
the hospital say the things that they tried to say.
But anyways, so later on that night we did find
out after they did tests because at first they did
(12:32):
not want to do any tests. They wouldn't even I
asked for him to for them to test him to
see if he had been touched, because again, all I
know is he was found at a stranger's doorstep unconscious.
They wouldn't do it. The doctor didn't tell me. They
had a caseworker coming there, and she told me and
(12:53):
my ex husband, no, they couldn't do it because children
had rights. And I was like, well, he's only twelve
and I'm his parents, so you're telling me that if
I'm thinking something has happened, he's unconscious, he cannot talk,
he's you know, he would have spells to where he
was literally literally I haven't told anybody this, but my son.
(13:15):
He would be He would start randomly screaming. He didn't
know who anybody was, He didn't even know I was
his mom. So it was a scary sight to see. Okay,
So you know, I was like, I don't understand so
they wouldn't do anything. They wouldn't They did not look
at a kid would sound on a doorstep like they
(13:35):
really was literally treating it as if I brought my
son in the emergency room and said, oh, he's been
feeling sick. You know. That is how they treated it,
instead of saying, a kid is found randomly on the
doorstep with no feeling he's unconscious, That's how they did it.
That was weird to me. So the police officers did
(13:59):
not come to the hospital. That was also weird. When
I called nine one one, the NUN emergency line to
ask questions, the dispatcher was so rude. I asked him
they would not give me the officers names straight off,
I said, hey, I just want to know who the
officers were. Can I get their names? They refused to
(14:22):
give me the officers' names that found my son, which
is crazy. So I told him, you know, I said, hey,
I'm just trying to get in touch with the officers.
Told me that the officers had already clocked out for
the day. Now, mind you, you guys, this is all
within ten minutes we literally had made it to the hospital.
(14:43):
I said, well, I'm trying to get in touch with
them because they said they spoke to the principal. The
guy said, well, we don't work for the school, so
you know, I stayed come. Another thing that threw me
off that they told me, oh, we can read the report.
So again, you guys, this is within less than ten minutes.
The offic so did not come to the hospital. They
probably made it to the you know, to the police
(15:05):
station about the same time we made it to the hospital.
I don't know what kind of report you can write,
you know, within a couple of seconds, which I knew
that was a lot. You know, that was so basically
in the report that the person read was a kid
was found on a doorstep, uh dropped his backpack and
(15:28):
and basically that was it. Now, at the time, I
was not thinking straight. I knew that it was not
And y'all can stop me anytime. I'm sorry, you're fine,
You're fine. At the time, none of it was adding up.
But I had never had any run ins with Frisco ID.
I had never had any run ins with Frisco PD.
(15:50):
So it didn't like even done on me, like this
is weird, you know what I'm saying, Like this is
really some weird stuff. That's going on, and everything is
so close in the proximity of where I live, you know,
So you know, I said, okay, I said, I'll go
ahead and I'll just go to the school in the
(16:11):
morning and i'll call tomorrow. The guy was like, okay,
you know. So when I got off the phone, they
were moving my son into ICU.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
My son stayed in the hospital for two weeks, two
whole weeks, but they, you know, they was moving him
to I See You and I remember, you know, they
were still treating it as if it was just hey,
a mom brought a kid in, uh, And they wasn't
trying to do nothing, we said, They said we had
to wait for him to wake up and he had
(16:42):
to consent to getting tested. Well, my son, you know,
when we took him up to I See You, I
was outside of the room and I remember one of
the nurses was like, your son is calling for you.
So he was kind of coming out of whatever he
was in, and I remember, I'm for sitting down and
it was god like, I you know, I don't know
(17:04):
why I asked him this, but I was like, hey,
did he try to grab you? Because whenever we think
about something like that we think of somebody more masculine,
you know. So I'm like, did some did he try
to get you and you got away? And my son said, no,
she tried to get me. And at that point the
tech looked up. It was just me and a tech
(17:26):
in the room, and he looked up and he was like,
what did he just say? And my son, I said,
what do you mean she tried to get you? And
he said, clearest day, he said, Mom, do you remember
when you pick me up on the first day of school?
And it was crazy because I walked to get him
on the first day of school because you know, he's
going into the seventh grade. I'm working from I work
(17:46):
from home now, so I'm trying to like he a
big kid, you know. So I'm like, I know, of
the mom, I ain't gonna never let him walk home.
But I was like, let me try to start letting loose.
This my last my baby. So I walked to get
him and he said, remember when you walked to get me,
and you know, all the people was in the you know,
(18:06):
the bus rider line or whatever. Now I remember some teachers,
but I you know, but he was like, she was
she was out there, and I said, oh wow, he said, yeah,
he said, he said, when you drop. When I went
to school the next day, in the hallway where all
the teachers. You know, you meet the students in the hallway.
(18:27):
You know, when you go to school, all the teachers
are in the hallway. He said, she was in the hallway.
So this lady was It's like she made herself visible,
but not visible, you know, to where he knew. He
saw her more than once, so he thought she was
a teacher. So he said he went to the bathroom
and when he went to the bathroom, there's no doors,
(18:50):
and he said he heard a lady call his name,
and he said when he went out, it was the
young lady. He said that she told her him. She said,
nice to meet you, christ in my name of Amanda.
And you know, they talked for a little bit and
she offered him some ice cream. Now this is when
he told us the story in the hospital. He said,
(19:13):
you know, Mama, she offered me some ice cream. I
told her no, thank you, and you know, she became
agitated and then she smushed it in my face and
my finger pricked. It felt like she pricked my finger.
So when he opened up more recently, without me saying anything.
(19:34):
Somebody asked him some questions for the first time, and
he said, no, she she actually talked to him for
a couple of minutes. You know, he was like, she
talked to me a little because I always wondered what
he meant by she became agitated. So now I understand
that when she was talking to him, she seemed very welcoming,
(19:56):
you know, and when she offered him the ice cream
and he didn't take it, she became agitated and she
smushed and he said after that everything went kind of dark,
and you know, when he woke up pretty much he
was in the hospital, so he did run out of
the cafeteria door. Now skipping today too. After I found
(20:20):
all this out, you know, I asked my mom and
my ex husband. I said, I need y'all to stay
at the hospital, right, don't leave his side. You know,
they made sure they kept attaching their twenty four hours
because now they were starting to do protocol. You know.
So when I I stayed majority of the night and
(20:43):
I came home because I was like, I need to
make sure I'm making school first thing in the morning.
A police officer, they the social workers did tell a
police officer up there, and the police officer did call
me while I was at home. My son was sleep
but he said he didn't want to wake Tristing up.
So till this day, a police officer, the police department,
(21:05):
and the detectives refused to question Tristan. I just want
that to be I even ask them, why why why
haven't y'all questioned him? Why haven't y'all got his side
of the story. You know, you're asking me, you know,
but he can tell you hisself. And the detective told
me he refused, He was like, we don't need to
(21:27):
talk to him. So that was always weird as well.
So when I went to the school the next day,
I met the principal for the first time. And when
I walked in, the first thing she said, you you know, hey,
you know, I got Tristan's backpack. Let me get it
(21:47):
for you. She didn't say, how is your son? You know,
whatever happened to him? What was he found okay? Because
she didn't know yet, right, It was nothing like that.
It was, oh, let me get his backpack and give
it to you. And I said, well, wait, you know
when she went and got the backpack, she came back,
(22:08):
I said, wait a minute, I said, one, my son
is an ICU, right, I said, he also had a
acetone was found in his system. My son was found
unconscious on a doorstep. Right, So I said, but you
are the missing piece to the puzzle because you told
an officer that my son backpack fell off and he
(22:31):
kept walking. My son is twelve. I picked him up
every day myself from school since he started kindergarten. Okay,
and never have Tristan just dropped his backpack. And if
you got any kids in school, if y'all know how
crazy the school pickup line is and the school is,
you dropped backpack, somebody gonna pick it up. Hey, you
know you dropped the backpack. I told her, I said,
(22:52):
will you please show me where he dropped his backpack
on the camera before you showed me the footage. So
she showed me where he you know, the door he
walked out of and where his backpack dropped. So I said, okay,
roll the footage. Now. She told the you know, she
told the people, the officers that he walked off. Calmly boom.
(23:15):
When we played the footage, it showed my son walking
through the cafeteria two to three minutes before the bell rang.
He was frantic. You could tell. He walked out the
cafeteria door. He looked to the left. There's a deaddy
and there's a fence. You would literally you're you're you're,
you're railroaded in. There's nowhere to go unless you run
(23:38):
around the whole building. You caught by. Then there's just
you should not go that way. And he looked to
the right, and my son ran. Now, when he walked
out the cafeteria door frantically, you could tell he was thinking.
He put his backpack down to alleviate Wait, you could
tell what he was doing, and he ran. She stopped
(23:59):
the camera. She looked at me. She said, oh my god,
he did look francy. I said, well, and he ran.
I said, well, you told them, I said, there's a
difference between your backpack something dropping and you putting it down.
And there's a difference between running and walking. Let's just
get that straight. So we're most saying the same thing.
(24:21):
So if you watched the same thing I watched when
the police officers called you about a missing kid, this
is why wouldn't you tell them this? She said, Oh,
I wasn't thinking, you know, now, you know. So I
told her to replay it again, right because I wanted
to make sure that I saw the timestamp. Now, I
(24:41):
used to work at a bank where I was a
branch manager. I had to watch the footage all the time,
so I knew what the time stamp mean. I didn't
know what, you know, I knew like it was off.
So when she ran it back, I said, why was
my son out of class two to three minutes before
the bell rung? She could not answer that. In most
cases you would have called the teacher. They would have,
(25:04):
you know, let me find out. She didn't want to
find She didn't say she said, I'll ask her. I
don't know, you know. At that time, she turned the
footage off, you guys, and I was denied footage. Four
months after that, they would not let me watch no
more footage. So she sat down and she was like,
I feel like you're interrogating me because I went on
(25:25):
to ask her questions, like hey, I did reach out
to a counselor, and she told me that nobody on
her staff has to respond after unauthorized. She said it
another way, but it was basically, after a certain time,
no one has to respond to you. Right, So I said,
(25:46):
I understand it. But before I could tell her that
the counselor did respond, she kept talking. I said, well,
I did drive up to the school and I realized
that I'm outside of your office and I met a
black I met a no, no, you know what, I
didn't say the color, I said, I met a lady.
You guys. She said, oh, that was my assistant principal.
(26:06):
So right, so how did you know? You know, like
I'm looking like I didn't even know that, So how
did you?
Speaker 4 (26:14):
So?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I said, oh, that was your assistant principal. She said, yeah,
she came in and she asked me if I was
aware that a kid was missing. So I'm shortening the
story so to make a long story short. At first,
she said, you guys that she was not aware that
a kid was missing, right, But when the assistant principal
(26:34):
walked in that office and asked her, the police department
had already contacted her. So I was on hold for
a while. I didn't know that they were actually the
dispatchers that and the police department was actually calling the school.
So while I was sitting outside on hold, they were
(26:54):
inside the police department or whoever it was they were
talking to the principal.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Right, So when I called her in a lie because
I said, well, if the assistant principal came here and
asked you if you knew a kid was missing, one
you knew before she did. You said no at first,
and she was like, oh, yeah, well, you know a
lot was going on. And I said, well another thing,
why didn't your assistant principal tell me who she was.
(27:21):
Why didn't she let me know that she was coming
in here to ask you and that she was going
to check footage to see if a kid got on
the wrong bus. She said, I don't know. She said,
we thought you were gone. I said, well I had
told her that I was supposed to wait outside, So
that right there sounds crazy, okay, So I said, okay,
(27:42):
Well she said she would be right back. So I
thought that she was going to go get the teacher
to ask my son about to let me know if
my son why he wasn't in class right on that
footage I saw, Well, she went and got an officer.
This officer name was Richard Pippen. So when he came
in again, you guys, I was not thinking. I didn't
(28:06):
put everything together until after a couple of days. So
I wasn't even thinking, like, where did the officer come from?
You know? Now I knew that our schools had officers
on site. I didn't know what their title was, right,
but I knew they did. So I was like, well,
(28:27):
maybe I didn't know. But the first thing he came
in and he said, he introduced himself, right, and he
told me who he wasn't He said that, you know,
he wasn't the SRO at the school. He told me
he did not work at the school. And he told
me that he did not know any of the protocol right.
(28:48):
I later found out that he was basically answering all
the questions that he thought I would have asked. You
know what I'm saying, he wanted to throw I think
their whole thing was to throw me off, right, So
I didn't I didn't understand. You know, I didn't even
know what the SRO was. I'm like, views listening, what
is an SRO office? It is a school resource officer,
(29:11):
So it is an actual offer officer that works for
h your city's department, but they are assigned to different schools. Right.
But so everything he said he wasn't he was Okay,
so you know, he said, hey, you know, I got kids,
I know how you feel. And he literally he left.
(29:33):
He left. He left right after having a conversation with
the principal for three to four hours, you guys, three
to four hours. It was nothing. It was nothing but
lie after lie after lie after lie. Immediately her boss
(29:54):
came in. I think his name was it Will either
Mark or Mike. I got to get the name, but
he came in. They busted in because by that time
I had I had the principal and the assistant principal
in the office, and so they busted in. They made
the two ladies get out, and the first thing they
said was they had watched the footage. Now mind you,
(30:18):
this was my first time because it just happened. So
for two people that are higher up, like probably I
would say, he's the manager, he's right under the superintendent.
For them to walk in and tell me they don't
watch footage, it was just like it's like me, US
(30:39):
US three, US four talking and I haven't even told
y'all the story, and you guys are already you know,
kind of y'all know more than I do, you know,
like you know, it's like Sissy tell you know, Dwayne
ain't supposed to know nothing, but Sissy done, you know,
So it was just like so I asked him, I said,
I asked the the gentlemen, I said, do you want
(31:01):
to know what happened? Like what the principal said? He
said no, and he said it as stern as he
could like it blew my mind to where I grabbed
my son's backpack. I stood up and I said, hey,
I said, I'm about to get everybody, every news station
I can at the front door of the school. Just
give me a couple of seconds, you know. So I
(31:23):
guess the the person that I guess it's probably, I
would say, like a spokesperson or whatever. You know. He
asked for us to all sit down, and the first
thing they said was that my son did look frantic.
Right now. Mind you, we didn't watch the footage together,
so I don't know if when she walked out, she
(31:44):
went and called for backup and they had washed the footage,
but they were like, you know, hey, you know your
son did look frantic. What do you want to happen?
And I'm not gonna lie, said, I want her fired because
what I heard for four hours, I'm ninety nine percent
sure that. I was like, this lady did something to
my child, like she Now, I couldn't say the officer
(32:06):
because at that time I believed who he said. He
was not right, so I had no reason to believe
anything else. They was like, well, we got to get
HR involved and we'll get an investigation.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
They never told me what I had to do, so
they didn't tell me that I had to send an
email or go online and you know, report to the district.
They didn't tell me what I had to do. So
I'm thinking they're gonna do an investigation and I'm gonna
hear something back you guys that did not happen. The
next day, I asked them that before I left the school.
(32:41):
When I left, I sent an email and I asked
them if I could get a copy of the footage
sent to me. She was like, no, you can come
back and watch it now. When I came back the
next day, this was the last time I was ever
on school property, they set me down with the assistant principal.
She tried to show me what she wanted to show me.
(33:03):
I said, no, show me, like, I want you to
play it all the way through, Like, don't show me
bits and pieces, because I know how things could look
like something is not, you know, so she wouldn't do that.
She just said, well, she wanted to only show me
Trystan walking out of the classroom with a whole bunch
of people. I said, that can't be true, because if
(33:26):
that's the case, it would have followed him into the cafeteria.
If anybody look at my interview from a year ago,
From the time that I have been on camera, I
have always said, there was nobody in that footage with
my son. So what they tried to show me this
year in a hearing with a bunch of kids in
the cafeteria, that was definitely edited. I know what I saw.
(33:49):
I didn't see that, and it's on social media. So anyways,
she wouldn't show me that. She just kept saying, I
was told you was coming to watch a certain on
the footage you was coming to watch. I said, no,
play it through. Now I had only been in there
less than five minutes. I asked her. Did she talk
to the teacher about if my son was in class?
(34:10):
She said no. I said, can you ask her? She
told me no. I said, can you get somebody to
ask if my son was in class. She said no.
As soon as she said no, and I'm I'm I'm
this is not theatrical okay, And I'm not gonna yell
in y'all ear. But the principal, who I talked to
(34:31):
for four hours, she came and she busted in the cap.
She busted in the office. She did not greet me.
She looked right at the assistant principle and she said,
we have a meeting. We can't be late. Let's go.
She was a little more stern than that. Now my
daughter was a witness. My twenty one year old daughter
(34:52):
was in their witness. I stood up. I was at
that time. I knew.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
One.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I told them they are bad actress and actresses. I
knew something. Something had been done to my son purposely
when she did that. So I said, I said, what
is wrong with you? I said, you you set this
meeting up right? You busting here a parent where you
know her son, isn't I see you? You don't say hey,
(35:20):
thiss weekly. Her name is Katie Grinaldo. It's me gran
missus Rinaldo. You don't nothing, you literally, but I say
you are a bad actress. Now she stepped back because
I was angry. I wasn't yelling, but at that time
I knew something happened to my son. It was not
by certain you know, it wasn't by like accident. So
(35:43):
she walked out. Now I'm paying attention to you guys.
She did her hand like this. Guess who walked in?
So I called nine one one and I said, I
want some police officers down here. Now, I said, because
something happened to my son. They did something to my son.
Well I saw her do like this, and guess who
(36:05):
walked in the same officer, right, I said. I knew
his name. I said, mister Pippin. And the lady the dispatcher, said,
Officer Pippin is there. I said yeah. She said, oh, well,
we don't need the dispatch any officers. There's one on scene.
I said, well, I said, I don't even know where
(36:28):
he came from. They was like, well, no, you know,
but he's an officer. So I hung up the phone
and he came in the same way. He didn't, you know,
he didn't he didn't come in and try to put
me out because I wasn't out rape. But I was
really stern because now I'm like, okay, all types of
red flags are going off. He asked me if I
(36:49):
could sit down. He said, can you sit down for
a minute. I said yes. He said, can do you
mind if I talk to you? I said yes. He said,
remember what I told you yesterday? I said yeah. He
said what did I say? I said, you said, you're
not an SRO, you don't work for the school, and
you don't know any of the school policies. I repeated
it back to him and he said yeah. He said,
(37:12):
but I know how you feel. He said, you're in
the wrong place. He said, you should be at the
district the office down the street. I said, well, I
didn't know that because I was told to come here
right and again he tried to get me with the
kid thing. You know, hey, I got kids just like you.
I understand. You know, you need to go up there.
You need to go ahead and follo a complaint, you know,
(37:34):
to get an investigation going. And I left. That was
the last time I was at the school. You guys,
so just feeding it up. The crazy part is that
this same man, I found out that he was head
of the investigation of what at the school. So the
school had had an investigation going. Y'all see my hands
(37:56):
and then they had not put it to detective on
my son's case because the school said they were going
to do an investigation first. Right, So the day that
man walked in there and told me who he was not,
he was head of the investigation. I want you to
know that. So the second day when he came and
talked to me, he was head of the investigation. So
(38:20):
he was knowingly lion, purposely lion to me and giving
me unsolicited lies. Okay, I found that out on accident
when I kept going to the police department because my
son did cold y'all, he almost lost his life and
I see you. And when they brought him back, I
(38:41):
was concerned because I hadn't heard from no one, not
a detective, not a police officer. So I was like,
I need someone to hear my story because if something
happened to my son, I'm his only voice, you know.
So I'm like, I need to get somebody up here
to hear the voice. So when I called Chrisco PD
that night, they told me that it was on a Friday,
(39:04):
that detectives didn't work on weekends, right, so I had
to wait until a Monday. So I went to the
police department and I found out that. Now, the detective
that I talked to still did not tell me, you guys,
that who was the investigator at the school? Right? But
he told me that the school was doing an investigation.
(39:26):
That's why a detective wasn't on the case. But I said,
I haven't talked to nobody. So he was like, I'm
gonna put the detective on the case.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
So I hadn't heard from the detective yet. I went
back to the police department. I was going all week.
An unknown officer at the window. He was like, well,
I can tell you who's the investigator at the school,
you guys. When he told me Richard Pippen, I could
have passed out. He saw the expression on my face
(39:55):
and he was like, is everything okay? And I tried
to mask it because I did not want to look
as stunned as I did, and I just said, no,
I have no Now I'm like, oh, because so people
were telling me things because they thought I knew, you know,
So in the beginning I don't think that certain people
was I was trying to cover up. But once the
(40:20):
word was getting around to whoever was trying to cover
up what they have been since day one you could
tell when I was getting information people was not meaning
to give me the information. So at that time, that's
when I found out he was the SRO. That's when
I found out that he was head of the investigation.
(40:41):
This man had put out information that he had spoke
to me numerous the times. And when I told the detective,
his boss and other people at the police department, you guys,
they told me they cannot help what I thought I heard.
So then when I clearly told them that I had
I talked to anybody from the school about an investigation,
(41:04):
they basically was calling me a liar. So I'm saying,
I haven't heard. So the interaction that I had with
this officer those two days, they said that was communication
just and then last to just leave it off the detective.
They took the case, which was Detective Folk. The day
(41:29):
he took it, he said, I asked him, why did
Frisco PD Frisco PD, and why did Frisco ID put
out false statements to the public. He told me that
he didn't put that out. He wouldn't his department would
not have put that out. When I asked him who
put it out, he said it was somebody higher in
a higher pay pay grade than he was. Right, So
(41:53):
he said he had so much footage to watch, he
had to get footage. This detective closed my son's case
in less than a week. I knew from the footage
he claimed he had to watch that he did not
watch no footage, y'all. But he claimed he watched. He
didn't see a lady. He said. The only person he
saw on camera with any interaction with my son was
(42:17):
the sro The same yeah, the same sro O that
said he didn't he didn't work there at that school.
But you're on camera, Uh where my son got information
from you? Right? Because my son did not, you know,
to ask about classes. The two things that I want
(42:38):
to be taken away from what I just said is
this year I found out that my son's case was closed.
The detective never watched any footage, right, he never watched
any footage. So that was a lie, right when my
when the detective tried to get footage from the school
this year, they could not provide the detective anything after
(43:01):
noon after twelve o'clock. The other thing I wanted to
be taken away is my son was seen on camera
two to three minutes walking out of the cafeteria. Right,
he was out of class way before that, because he
was in the hallway, he was in the bathroom, he
talked to this woman.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
My question has always been, and nobody has said anything,
is why would a kid go to the bathroom and
have his backpack? Why would he need his backpack unless
my son thought it was the end of the day.
As this story, like as I said here and it's
(43:44):
been a year, and the things that I found out
and I've heard myself. They got my son out of
that classroom, and they made my son think that it
was school was out, because I always asked him and
wonder when he was in the hospital, why he kept
saying When I said why you had your backpack? He
said school was let out. They let us out, I said, Tristan,
(44:06):
but you were the only one in the cafeteria. So
it was key things that my son said that never
added up until until recently within the year of basically,
whoever let my son out of this classroom or however
they they've made him seem they made it seem to him,
(44:29):
take your backpack, school is letting out, you know. So
that's what those are the two things that I really
want people to take away is that the detective never looked,
he lied about watching footage. My son never was given
a fair chance right, and a kid had his backpack
and he was made to believe that it was the
end of the day.
Speaker 4 (44:48):
So oh wow, yeah.
Speaker 8 (44:52):
Miss Weekly, how is Tristan today?
Speaker 1 (44:57):
He's not good. A lot of people ask me that question,
and I, Sissy, I always say, oh, he's doing better,
but my son finally broke down on Monday. Homeschool is
hard for him. And when I tell people that my
son's childhood was snatched away, you know, people still be like, oh, well,
he's only thirteen. No, his childhood was snatched away. He
(45:18):
was looking forward to the seventh grade. He was a
kid that all he knew was school and now he
was snatched out of school because of an incident, and
he's isolated. We try to get him out, but he don't.
He don't. He can't talk. He don't talk to friends.
You know, all his friends are in school. He doesn't
go out. So it's like he is isolated and and
(45:41):
homeschool is hard from a kid that is used to
having extra support and extra help to having to learn
on his own. It's not a lot of support in homeschool.
Like I don't know if it's because of the school
that we have him in, it's not a lot of support.
And my son broke down, Sissy, And it was the
first time in a whole year that I've seen my son.
(46:04):
I've seen that same kid in the ambulance. I've seen
that same kid that I saw in the hospitals for
two weeks who was in so much pain, that was
having seizures, that was crying off and on, had crying spells.
And it broke me down because I had to apologize
to him again and tell him I'm sorry one because
(46:26):
nothing has been done. He didn't deserve it. You know,
everybody if life is as normal for everybody, right, But
he's a kid that don't know how to express hisself. So, Sissy,
he's not doing good. And as a parent, you know
my son, you know, he tries to not say a
(46:47):
lot because he's trying because he don't want me to
stress out. You know, he knows I'm still advocating. He
don't want me to wear it. But I think you know,
he had he went he was at his breaking point
on my day, and I had to remember instead of
like telling a story and me reminiscent. I had to
(47:07):
realize that my son is trying to He tried to
block it out, but you can only block it out
for so long, so he's not doing it so good.
You know, we.
Speaker 4 (47:18):
Definitely would We definitely keep him in prayer and keep
you guys in prayer because I know, just from listening
to the story and knowing of the story and speaking
with you before, this is a moment that's that's real strange.
I think that's the word I can use. It's strange.
And I know this is limited time here. I know
(47:42):
you guys have another event schedule in January to be
able to go more in depth and sit down and
really go into the thing, into this situation. We wanted
to take the day to really just give people a
foundation and let them know exactly what's going on in
Tristan and tristan situation in his life, so they can
(48:04):
kind of know what's going on because people heard the
initial stories and hurt the initial reports, and they were
not true and they were far from what happened to
Tristan that day, and so we want to make sure
that people got that opportunity to hear that story directly
because they only hear it and get some pieces of
(48:24):
conversations about other situations that's going on in Frisco and
in Texas, and they really don't get the chance to
hear directly of the situation. And what better way is
from his mom and from his mother in the front
of person that dealt with it from the beginning. And
we just really want to thank you today for coming
on and sharing with us that story. And I just
(48:46):
want to let you know that we're definitely here and
we're definitely going to continue to work with you and
work for you guys in this situation, and this won't
be the last opportunity that we will have to talk
about this, but we know that in January and sister
can share that that date and everything in the platform
so people know. And also, Shandra, before you leave, I
(49:08):
do want you to share the gofund me because you
do have a gofund me up for for Tristan for
the situation, and we definitely share that.
Speaker 1 (49:19):
Yeah, I'm trying not to cry, like I don't even
sometimes I forget about the go from the account. But
the go fu me account is under Chandra Weekly it's
my name. You will see me and my son's picture
on there. That is to help give my son into therapy,
(49:40):
that is, to try to to get him into some activities,
and to just help us out because I was all
for almost four months and I was not getting paid.
So it put my family in a financial financial It
(50:02):
put us behind badly. So like when they started to
change my insurance, I had to pay copays. I couldn't
even afford to pay co pays. No more so when
my son said he needed more therapy, I can't afford that,
you know. So the go fund is under my name
Chandra weekly Uh c h A N d r A
(50:22):
and w e e k l e Y. And again
you will just see a picture. Okay, yeah, it's c
h A N d r A and my last name
is w e e k l e Y. I know
it's l y on here, but it's l e y.
But that picture that's on there, that was actually the
(50:47):
day after we came home from the hospital and me
and Tristan was hugging in the bed, you know, because
I was just so grateful. So that's the reason I
put that picture up because every everything that happened to
my son, he still gave a smile you know, so yeah,
most definitely, and I'm want to say something.
Speaker 8 (51:10):
Go ahead, Oh, I was just gonna say, Duane, it's
been a pleasure, and Miss thank you very much for
joining us and to the viewers. We will be doing
a podcast with Miss Weekly on the eleventh of January.

If you just send me some information, I'll definitely share
it out on my platforms. I would also like to
extend an opportunity to share your story inside of my magazine.
Speaker 4 (51:56):
I have a magazine.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
Matter of fact, I just got my November you today,
but I.
Speaker 5 (52:01):
Have a magazine focused on sharing things black about our
black and brown community because a lot of things go
unheard concerning our black and brown community. So I've been
had this magazine now five years to be six years
in May, and my whole focus is to talk about
(52:23):
those things that seem to get brushed under the rug.
So I want to send this to you an opportunity
to share your baby story inside of this magazine and
we invite you back anytime you want to come and
share on our platform.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
You're more than welcome.
Speaker 5 (52:44):
Doctor Ceci and Dwayne, they stopped by as much as
they can. I'm thinking about just offering them a spot
for next season because we're getting ready to wrap up
season three here on the podcast the thirty first of
the December. But we will be back for season four
February the first, and we are about being the change
(53:09):
that we desired to see in this world. I'm glad
that you are sharing your story. There are so many
things that you shared today that just it's unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (53:19):
It's unacceptable.
Speaker 5 (53:20):
I can't believe that a lot of these things slipped
through and people did not address them.
Speaker 1 (53:27):
It's sad. I'm sitting here.
Speaker 5 (53:31):
There's no way that people didn't realize that this was
a straight cover up. I don't know, but I mean,
it speaks nothing but cover up from.
Speaker 4 (53:41):
Every one of my hosts.
Speaker 5 (53:42):
That's the first thing that they say, and this is
their first time hearing about this story, but immediately they.
Speaker 1 (53:49):
Say cover up.
Speaker 5 (53:50):
And ye, and that's all I heard as you were speaking,
that that was all I heard. So I just know
that we are here. I also have a five a
M prayer a prayer line. We would definitely be lifting
your baby up and your family up because we're tired
of thing these things happening, and we want these things
(54:12):
that are being done in the dark and and these
corrupt things to be exposed.
Speaker 1 (54:18):
So definitely, you have a platform.
Speaker 5 (54:21):
You have two amazing people sitting right there on that
platform that are definitely doing an amazing job and advocating
for for justice. Yeah, and I'm just I'm just grateful
for you coming by and sharing your story. So just
know that the platform is open for you anytime. I'm
(54:41):
gonna get on your way. I'm sorry, but I just
felt like I needed to come on and let you
know that you have a place, know that you you
have an outlet, because your voice needs to be heard,
it needs to be amplify.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
Most definitely, I really appreciate it. And if y'all look
up the story. People always do this all the time, y'all.
But our name is l E y, So it's w
e e k l e y h. But as soon
as you put it in Tristan story is gonna come up.
But it's w e E k l E Y. And
I just want to say thank you for allowing me
(55:22):
to use your platform. Thank you since and Dwayne, I
know I was trying to talk fast because I know
Dwayne was like thirty minutes and I was like, oh lord,
I'm looking at the time, and I was. But you know,
I did share some things that I have not shared
honestly with anybody else. But thank you again. I am
excited and ready to you know, be on the platform
(55:44):
to go more into detail. And yeah, like I'm glad
I got a team behind me and people are really
looking into it and that people are starting to really
listen with a good ear and notice that you know,
it was definitely a cover up and they're still trying
to cover it up. But my son deserves justice. He
(56:04):
somebody to be held accountable. So if we never find
out who this woman is, that the people that are
trying to cover it up be held accountable so that
they would think twice before trying to pull this again,
you know, as boldly as they did the first time.
So thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (56:21):
Be right about it and definitely let Trustan know and
you know, Chandra that we do have you guys back,
and we're praying, and not only praying, but we're physically
on top of this moment and behind you guys, and
whatever way we need to be, we will be in
all of our platforms, in our lives. We are there
for you because I understand that pain. And yeah, like
(56:42):
I told you before on TikTok, I apologize to someone
that lived near your community that just kind of overlooked
this thing and took the news media's report as go
and didn't look into it. And that's that's an error
on our part for doing so. Yeah, and so we
have to, as Angelust say, we have to be accountable
(57:03):
for each other, to each other and make sure that
these type of things don't happen. Because Tristan went through
something that is horrible and the more that I hear
about it, the more I listened to it, the more
I see that it was and that's why I was traumatized.
And so we do need to hold them accountable because
they know, and that's bottom line, they know what happened
(57:25):
to that baby, and they don't want to let us
know because it looks bad for the political and the
financial history interests of Frisco, Collin County and the state
of Texas. And so we have to call it out
and we have to hold them accountable.
Speaker 8 (57:38):
Yes, one last thing before we go. Miss Weekly is
a beauty industry entrepreneur. She is also a TikTok networking host.
