- 3:00Speaker 1: in Mississippi, this is just outside of Memphis, claims that
- 3:04Speaker 1: a hacker got access to their ring camera that they
- 3:08Speaker 1: placed in their eight year old daughter's bedroom. They only
- 3:12Speaker 1: had the ring camera for a couple of days. It
- 3:14Speaker 1: was a Black Friday deal. And this mother, Ashley LeMay,
- 3:17Speaker 1: she got it because she's a nurse. She works overnights
- 3:20Speaker 1: and she wanted to have a way to have quick
- 3:23Speaker 1: contact with her children while she's working. But here's where
- 3:26Speaker 1: things get creepy. A voice started talking to her eight
- 3:30Speaker 1: year old daughter and was calling himself Santa Claus and
- 3:34Speaker 1: saying I'm your best friend. And Ashley LeMay said, in
- 3:38Speaker 1: another incident, their father was watching the children while she
- 3:42Speaker 1: was out of the house and music started playing, and
- 3:46Speaker 1: this voice started a minute and a minute right there,
- 3:50Speaker 1: right there. Hold on ly Vi page. Sometimes I wonder
- 3:52Speaker 1: should that be a felony? Because when I have to
- 3:54Speaker 1: go out of town and I come home and David
- 3:58Speaker 1: has had the children, it looks like bears have been
- 4:01Speaker 1: living in the house. I find there's snacks that, of
- 4:04Speaker 1: course I preprepare before I leave town. There'll be like
- 4:08Speaker 1: days of them stuffed down the backpacks. There'll be debris
- 4:12Speaker 1: on the floor. It looks like animals have been nesting
- 4:16Speaker 1: in our home. And I'm like, David, what happened? He goes,
- 4:20Speaker 1: they're alive. Well, I can't argue with that. They are alive.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Knock on wood and praise the Lord. But I'm telling you, Okay,
- 4:27Speaker 1: that may be the first issue right there, leaving leaving
- 4:29Speaker 1: the twins alone with dad, but that aside. Straight out
- 4:34Speaker 1: to the mom who brought this to light, Ashley LeMay,
- 4:38Speaker 1: she releases chilling video of a hacker talking to her
- 4:42Speaker 1: little girl through the ring security camera in the little
- 4:47Speaker 1: girls bedrooms, saying, I'm your best friend. I'm Santa Claus.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Ashley LeMay, you must have had a heart attack. Yes,
- 4:57Speaker 1: I couldn't even get words out when I first watch
- 5:00Speaker 1: the feedback from the app. I mean, I really couldn't
- 5:03Speaker 1: believe it. I mean, this is I know I've said
- 5:06Speaker 1: it's before, but it really is my worst nightmare. And
- 5:08Speaker 1: it's the reason that I didn't have a camera for
- 5:11Speaker 1: the longest time. I mean, it's just I mean, even
- 5:14Speaker 1: hearing it now, it's chilling, you know, Ashley, I have friends,
- 5:18Speaker 1: and they're very, very intelligent. They've got an incredible business
- 5:23Speaker 1: they created from nothing. They have three awesome, beautiful children.
- 5:28Speaker 1: They're convinced the government is spying on them. Okay, that's
- 5:31Speaker 1: the only drawback. No, they're not out on some remote
- 5:35Speaker 1: compound with barbed wire around. They live in a nice
- 5:38Speaker 1: neighborhood with a nice house and all that. They're convinced,
- 5:42Speaker 1: and they will not have Alexa, they won't have any
- 5:46Speaker 1: device as such as that in their home because they're
- 5:49Speaker 1: convinced they're being spied on. My response please and says
- 5:52Speaker 1: that you do spy on me. After about five minutes,
- 5:55Speaker 1: you'll run the other way. Your ears will be bleeding
- 5:59Speaker 1: from the borings of our home. But Ashley, having somebody
- 6:03Speaker 1: spy on your child is a whole another can of worms.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Tell me what happened. Don't leave anything out. Start at
- 6:10Speaker 1: the beginning. So we purchased these cameras. And I mean,
- 6:14Speaker 1: to be honest, with it being a Black Friday deal,
- 6:16Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the way it was reported.
- 6:18Speaker 1: But it was more or less that I am either
- 6:22Speaker 1: at work or at home with my four children all
- 6:25Speaker 1: the time. I mean, I oh, let me tell you something,
- 6:27Speaker 1: ash listen to this. For all those years on CNNHLN,
- 6:33Speaker 1: wherever I may be, people would think I was looking
- 6:35Speaker 1: over a little laptop. It wasn't. It was the nanny
- 6:38Speaker 1: Kim because I physically could not work without having them
- 6:43Speaker 1: for I could just glance over and make sure they
- 6:45Speaker 1: were okay. Same thing was Swift Justice. But I remember
- 6:48Speaker 1: when I was a judicating Nicki Minaj's case, I was
- 6:51Speaker 1: actually looking over to make sure the twins are okay,
- 6:54Speaker 1: just a glance, not staring at it, just make sure
- 6:57Speaker 1: they're alive. I get it, Ashley. I mean, that's the
- 7:01Speaker 1: only way I can work is knowing they're okay. So
- 7:04Speaker 1: when you said you think it was a Black Friday,
- 7:06Speaker 1: what now, what does this have to do with Black Friday?
- 7:08Speaker 1: So that's what That's what I was kind of getting out.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Was um, you know, it wasn't that the cameras were
- 7:13Speaker 1: on sale. That really wasn't anything to do with it.
- 7:16Speaker 1: It was just this was the first time that I
- 7:18Speaker 1: had gotten out of the house, and I mean the
- 7:21Speaker 1: longest time. So one of my friends had a camera
- 7:24Speaker 1: and you know, I'm over here like getting anxiety because
- 7:28Speaker 1: I haven't seen my children in you know, thirty five
- 7:31Speaker 1: minutes and she is showing me where she's watching her
- 7:35Speaker 1: children on a camera. And you know, we're in the
- 7:36Speaker 1: process of going to the next door and she's showing
- 7:41Speaker 1: me on her camera, you know, where she can watch
- 7:43Speaker 1: her children and interact with them. So I mean, at
- 7:46Speaker 1: that moment, man, I need this. I mean I need
- 7:49Speaker 1: this to not be so paranoid at work. You know,
- 7:52Speaker 1: I need this to be able to do my job,
- 7:54Speaker 1: you know, effectively. Now hold on another moment, Ashley ben Levitan,
- 7:58Speaker 1: doctor Daniel Bob or John Cardillovi page you know, you
- 8:01Speaker 1: can just tune out and check your emails in your
- 8:04Speaker 1: text because I know you don't care. You don't care
- 8:07Speaker 1: about being in constant touch with your children. When I
- 8:10Speaker 1: hear a child say mommy at the airport, I cringe.
- 8:13Speaker 1: I'll look for it. I want to help it. It's innaight.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I can't help it. Once you have children, something takes
- 8:17Speaker 1: over your brain and your body, and when you're apart
- 8:20Speaker 1: from them, you're convinced they're being kidnapped or maimed or heard,
- 8:24Speaker 1: or they're getting their feelings on the playground. You can't
- 8:26Speaker 1: stop it. You can't turn it off. Bober. That's probably
- 8:29Speaker 1: too much for you to shrink right now, I'll meet
- 8:31Speaker 1: with you privately, Ashley. I get it. I get it.
- 8:36Speaker 1: So you go in. You want a security device. What happens?
- 8:39Speaker 1: So I've heard this a security device, and the next
- 8:42Speaker 1: day we put them up. I was never prompted to
- 8:46Speaker 1: set up two factor authentication or anything like that, which
- 8:49Speaker 1: is an extra security feature that Ring offers, but we
- 8:53Speaker 1: did not know it at the time. I was never
- 8:55Speaker 1: sent an email. Oh my stars, I just turned that
- 8:57Speaker 1: down on my phone yesterday. I got so mad when
- 9:00Speaker 1: the Ring doorbell wanted me to do two factor authentification,
- 9:04Speaker 1: authentification authentication. I'm like, I don't have time. You're scaring me, Ashley, LeMay.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Listen to this guy's playing back the Ring video recording.
- 9:14Speaker 1: This is what her parents saw as Lyssa searched for
- 9:18Speaker 1: the source of the noise. I'm your best friend. I'm
- 9:23Speaker 1: Santa Claus. I'm Santa Claus. Thought you want to be
- 9:30Speaker 1: my best friend. I watched the video and I mean,
- 9:33Speaker 1: like my heart just like you know, I'm like, I
- 9:36Speaker 1: didn't even get to the end where she's screaming like mommy,
- 9:39Speaker 1: um before, like you know, I ran inside. It's a
- 10:01Speaker 1: nightmare for every parent, I'm your best friend. Some creep
- 10:07Speaker 1: has hacked into the ring surveillance camera in a little
- 10:10Speaker 1: girl's bedroom and he's talking directly to her. I'm Santa
- 10:17Speaker 1: Claus thought. You want to be my best friend? You
- 10:20Speaker 1: can mess up your room, you can break your TV,
- 10:24Speaker 1: can do whatever you want. Then he ratchets up the
- 10:26Speaker 1: terror by playing an eerie tune that's a recording of
- 10:33Speaker 1: Tiny Tim performing on The Roan and Martin's Laughing Show
- 10:37Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty eight. I was like, who is this guy?
- 10:45Speaker 1: Eight year old Alyssa Lamay and her mom spoke to
- 10:48Speaker 1: me from the bedroom where it happened in Mississippi. Can
- 10:51Speaker 1: you tell me where your reaction was when you heard
- 10:53Speaker 1: what was going on? I was, I mean extremely alarmed.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I mean I still am. I think I'm just a
- 10:57Speaker 1: little bit. You know, I can shock. Right now, our
- 11:00Speaker 1: buddy Les Trent at Insight Edition along with Ashley Lamay
- 11:04Speaker 1: with me right now, the mom that discovered some PERV
- 11:08Speaker 1: speaking to her little girl through the ring camera device.
- 11:12Speaker 1: I'm going to get with our other guests, ben Levitan,
- 11:14Speaker 1: Daniel Bober, John Cardillo in one moment. But back to
- 11:17Speaker 1: Ashley LeMay. Yeah, I'm your best friend. Now take your
- 11:21Speaker 1: clothes off. That's where that was headed. That is exactly
- 11:24Speaker 1: how I thought. Oh so you you get the device,
- 11:27Speaker 1: you get home, and what happens. So anyway, you know,
- 11:30Speaker 1: like I said, we had set this up, um, and
- 11:32Speaker 1: you know we had it for a couple of days.
- 11:34Speaker 1: I would watch them, and I mean I really didn't
- 11:36Speaker 1: watch them very often. Um My four year old has
- 11:41Speaker 1: a history of fabrill seaers. So anytime I would get
- 11:45Speaker 1: emotional work at work, I would watch the camera just
- 11:49Speaker 1: make sure everything was okay and then I could get
- 11:51Speaker 1: back to doing my job. And it was it was great.
- 11:53Speaker 1: I mean I really did like it, um. And then
- 11:57Speaker 1: you know I would but when I was walking into work,
- 11:59Speaker 1: I would say, well good night, you know, just to
- 12:01Speaker 1: make them feel like I was still there. And this
- 12:03Speaker 1: is something they were They were very aware of the
- 12:06Speaker 1: They liked the camera two, they liked being able to
- 12:08Speaker 1: you know, they would wave at it and you know
- 12:10Speaker 1: things like that too, you know, so they knew when
- 12:13Speaker 1: that light was blue that it was me or Dad
- 12:16Speaker 1: watching them, you know. And it wasn't something that we
- 12:19Speaker 1: watched very often. It was only at night when I
- 12:21Speaker 1: wasn't home, basically to reassure them. Um. So anyway, for
- 12:26Speaker 1: the first of all days, everything was fine. Well, we
- 12:28Speaker 1: were getting ready to go on a cruise and we
- 12:32Speaker 1: were packing and you know, I worked nights, so at
- 12:34Speaker 1: this point I'd been awake for forty eight hours at least,
- 12:37Speaker 1: and I was, you know, packing up for the cruise
- 12:40Speaker 1: and getting everything together, and I you know, ran on
- 12:44Speaker 1: the street, um to run some errands and you know,
- 12:48Speaker 1: just finished out what we needed to do before run
- 12:50Speaker 1: out of town and came back. And on my way back,
- 12:53Speaker 1: I got a text message from my husband and he said, UM,
- 12:56Speaker 1: are you messing with them on the camera? And I'm
- 12:58Speaker 1: thinking no, I mean, I'm not even I'm not even
- 13:02Speaker 1: I'm driving, you know. So I got to a stop
- 13:04Speaker 1: sign and I looked at it. I just saw the
- 13:07Speaker 1: text message where he said, I'm about to throw these
- 13:10Speaker 1: cameras out. Somebody is playing the tiptoes of the song
- 13:13Speaker 1: through the camera, and at first I'm thinking there is
- 13:17Speaker 1: no way, you know. So I get to my driveway
- 13:20Speaker 1: and I mean I couldn't even walk inside before I've
- 13:24Speaker 1: watched it because I just, you know, it's just in disbelief,
- 13:27Speaker 1: and I thought it was my husband wrestling with them
- 13:29Speaker 1: at first. So I watch it and as soon as
- 13:32Speaker 1: I heard the person's voice, I mean, I ran in
- 13:34Speaker 1: the house and my heart was beating so fast. And
- 13:39Speaker 1: you know when I say this is my first nightmare,
- 13:41Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I this is why I've avoided cameras.
- 13:45Speaker 1: I've never had an Aluxa or anything like that. I mean,
- 13:48Speaker 1: I don't even have theory enabled on my iPhone because
- 13:52Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I've always been weirded out by
- 13:55Speaker 1: things like that, and I always say, if something will happen,
- 13:58Speaker 1: it'll happen to me. This is kind of my white story.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Jack and I are both saying, no, no, it's gonna
- 14:04Speaker 1: happen to us. Whatever's gonna have, it's gonna happen in
- 14:06Speaker 1: this house. So you actually brought me to tears because
- 14:10Speaker 1: that anxiety. Hearing you talk about your anxiety over your children,
- 14:17Speaker 1: I feel the same way. I'm just I know it's crazy.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I hate to even in minute in front of doctor
- 14:24Speaker 1: Daniel Bober, but sometimes, especially after I do this program,
- 14:30Speaker 1: I just have to get in the car and go
- 14:31Speaker 1: job by the school, make sure it's not in lockdown,
- 14:34Speaker 1: because I just worry so much. So you run in
- 14:37Speaker 1: the house and what did you do. I ran in
- 14:41Speaker 1: the house, and you know, first is check to make
- 14:44Speaker 1: sure that my daughter was even there. I mean, and
- 14:47Speaker 1: you know, in some reports it is said that, you know,
- 14:49Speaker 1: I thought that it was somebody local that could be honest.
- 14:51Speaker 1: I think I do that it was a part of
- 14:53Speaker 1: something bigger from the very moment that I heard that voice.
- 14:57Speaker 1: But I was just trying to could make myself think
- 15:02Speaker 1: that it was that I was paranoid because I had just,
- 15:07Speaker 1: i mean probably two weeks prior to this, just started
- 15:10Speaker 1: feeling like myself. You know, I have an infant, and
- 15:13Speaker 1: I had a really bad postpartum depression, and so this
- 15:16Speaker 1: is something that the cameras were kind of like a way.
- 15:19Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I'm getting myself fat. I am going
- 15:22Speaker 1: to stop being so paranoid. I'm gonna, you know, just
- 15:25Speaker 1: get measures in place to you know, just to feel
- 15:28Speaker 1: like myself again and do what I need to do
- 15:30Speaker 1: as a mother to be able to be you know,
- 15:33Speaker 1: I'm sure as you experienced this too, you know, the
- 15:35Speaker 1: guilt from being a working mother and you know, wanting
- 15:39Speaker 1: to give all of yourself to your career and also
- 15:42Speaker 1: all of yourself to your children and this was a
- 15:44Speaker 1: way I felt like I could be in two places
- 15:47Speaker 1: at once. And you know when you say that, you know,
- 15:50Speaker 1: as the government's spying on you and things like that.
- 15:52Speaker 1: That's one of those things where you know, to be honest,
- 15:54Speaker 1: that's kind of before this happened. In my mind, the
- 15:58Speaker 1: worst case scenario, somebody saw a night vision view of
- 16:03Speaker 1: my baby sleeping. But you don't think about somebody interacting
- 16:08Speaker 1: with your child at such an impressionable age. You know,
- 16:11Speaker 1: she's eight years old, and you know, that's what I thought.
- 16:14Speaker 1: I felt like they were trying to gain her Truthe well,
- 16:16Speaker 1: that's exactly how sex molestation, child abuse, child kidnaps happen.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Because I've spoken to so many child abuse I mean
- 16:28Speaker 1: literally thousands, thousands victims and parents of child abuse victims,
- 16:37Speaker 1: and that's how it starts. The very first one I
- 16:40Speaker 1: ever became aware of was before cell phones, before any
- 16:43Speaker 1: of these devices. I had a very, very learning disabled
- 16:49Speaker 1: boy and he was I would say, if I can
- 16:53Speaker 1: remember correctly, about nine or ten. But what he could
- 16:57Speaker 1: do is he love video games and his mom. If
- 17:00Speaker 1: he was to the point where he could do chores,
- 17:03Speaker 1: he had that much intellect. Little chores like make up
- 17:06Speaker 1: his bed, and the mom would give him quarters and
- 17:09Speaker 1: he would go to the arcade, and guys started going there.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Very attractive according to other people. Not me, of course,
- 17:17Speaker 1: I thought he looked like Satan. But he had a
- 17:20Speaker 1: great job, he made great money, he had a great home,
- 17:23Speaker 1: he had a girlfriend, everything, and he would give the
- 17:26Speaker 1: little boy rolls of quarters in exchange of mo to
- 17:29Speaker 1: molest him. Well, he got life. Hit hit hit, Yeah,
- 17:34Speaker 1: he got life. But long story short, that's just how
- 17:38Speaker 1: it works now except through electronics. They don't meet you
- 17:42Speaker 1: at the arcade of the playground. They meet you on
- 17:46Speaker 1: Fortnite or Snapchat or TikTok or through this device. Now,
- 17:53Speaker 1: doctor Daniel Bober, forensics psychiatrists joining me now out of
- 17:57Speaker 1: the Florida jurisdiction on Instagram. He's doctor Daniel Bober. Doctor Bober.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Don't start with me about how I'm over a protective
- 18:04Speaker 1: and there's something wrong with me. Just explain to me
- 18:10Speaker 1: why her fear about leaving her child is her rational?
- 18:15Speaker 1: You know what? Wait, explain to me first, why do
- 18:20Speaker 1: people what joy do they get out of interacting with
- 18:23Speaker 1: a child over a webcam? What joy is there in that?
- 18:27Speaker 1: And scaring the child. It's about power and control, Nancy.
- 18:30Speaker 1: I mean, I actually agree with you on this. These
- 18:33Speaker 1: devices make me very nervous, whether it's Alexa or whether
- 18:36Speaker 1: it's the Ring Cam. Why you know they the government,
- 18:39Speaker 1: it's spying on you, bober. Do you please? They're not
- 18:41Speaker 1: They don't care. No. I think they have too many
- 18:45Speaker 1: other things to do besides spy on me. But I
- 18:48Speaker 1: worry that other people like this young lady are being
- 18:51Speaker 1: spied on by you know, sexual predators that have nothing
- 18:54Speaker 1: better to do than figure out this technology. So it
- 18:56Speaker 1: does make me very nervous, and it's very unsettled. All
- 19:00Speaker 1: of our seemingly irrational fears are actually rational, Is that
- 19:04Speaker 1: what you're saying? Absolutely? Okay, you know what, Jackie, You've
- 19:08Speaker 1: got him on recording saying my fears are rational and normal.
- 19:29Speaker 1: There are reports that hundreds of people tuned in to
- 19:32Speaker 1: watch live as people were harassed in their homes. Among
- 19:35Speaker 1: those who were targeted, children who are still scared after
- 19:39Speaker 1: some of these incidents you're about to see this morning.
- 19:43Speaker 1: A possible explanation for these disturbing privacy invasions. Hey, what's
- 19:48Speaker 1: show that happening across the country? Case after case of
- 19:54Speaker 1: hackers breaking into ring home security systems. What's your name?
- 20:00Speaker 1: Will Blake Beenfante giving a fake name when a stranger
- 20:03Speaker 1: started talking to him through the family's ring camera at
- 20:05Speaker 1: their home in New York. I still see you following
- 20:09Speaker 1: him from room to room. The reason why I got
- 20:12Speaker 1: the cameras was to protect my family, and it's completely backfired.
- 20:17Speaker 1: In Kansas, someone peering into the Norris family's living room
- 20:23Speaker 1: sleep commenting on their every move. That tree is looking
- 20:27Speaker 1: really really good. Guys. Wow, okay, hacking watching parties, people
- 20:32Speaker 1: logging on to watch hackers terrorize people live online. You
- 20:36Speaker 1: were hearing ABCGMA reporter A Frey Marcy Gonzalez speaking, And
- 20:41Speaker 1: I've got to tell you something that I learned through
- 20:43Speaker 1: researching my book coming Out and not a plug, not
- 20:46Speaker 1: a plug, don't be a victim fighting back against America's
- 20:49Speaker 1: crime wife. I learned this. Did you know You can
- 20:52Speaker 1: go on the dark Web and there are I guess
- 20:55Speaker 1: you would call them stations or websites. As you go
- 20:58Speaker 1: to and that's all there are are hackers all these
- 21:01Speaker 1: You can go from one to the next to the
- 21:03Speaker 1: next and watch people in their homes just walking around.
- 21:06Speaker 1: They may be in their kitchen they might walk by
- 21:08Speaker 1: and their underwear. It might be children that's on the
- 21:10Speaker 1: dark web. It certainly is with me. Ashley LeMay, our
- 21:14Speaker 1: star today, her ring camera hacked and it scared her
- 21:18Speaker 1: eight year old child, her little girl when some PERV
- 21:22Speaker 1: play Tiptoe threw the tulips sung by Tiny Tim nobody
- 21:26Speaker 1: will ever forget that, and began talking to her about
- 21:29Speaker 1: how he's her best friend and he's Santa Claus. Okay,
- 21:33Speaker 1: let's bring in the big guns, ben Levitan, John Cardillo,
- 21:37Speaker 1: doctor Daniel Bober. Ben Levitan, you and I have really
- 21:40Speaker 1: been through it from every kind of security device, pinging phones, triangulation,
- 21:46Speaker 1: cell phone towers, and now hacking, ben Levitan, a real
- 21:51Speaker 1: telecommunications expert joining me out of Raleigh. Ben, how do
- 21:54Speaker 1: they do it? How does it happen? Bit YEA. I
- 21:58Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna make anyone feel better because
- 22:00Speaker 1: this is not all that sophisticated, but there are easy cures. Generally,
- 22:06Speaker 1: this is how it works. Anybody can download the Ring app.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Anybody can do that. Once you download the Ring wrapp
- 22:13Speaker 1: all you have to do is logging with your user
- 22:16Speaker 1: name and password from anywhere in the world, and you
- 22:19Speaker 1: can get into your account. So number one, if someone
- 22:23Speaker 1: else has your user name and password, they can do that.
- 22:27Speaker 1: But this is not the case typically what happens. Here's
- 22:30Speaker 1: what happens, Nancy. There have been so many security preachers
- 22:33Speaker 1: out there forgetting you know, like walk Green and United
- 22:38Speaker 1: Health and Facebook where hackers have stolen millions of user
- 22:44Speaker 1: name and passwords. And guess what, Nancy, most people use
- 22:50Speaker 1: the same user name and password for all their accounts.
- 22:56Speaker 1: So this is how it happened. I found this out
- 22:59Speaker 1: when I was racing for the book. Most people leave
- 23:02Speaker 1: it on default, and that was my next point. And
- 23:05Speaker 1: you know, if they don't leave it on default, I
- 23:08Speaker 1: found out that, um about oh gosh, it's some staggering number,
- 23:12Speaker 1: like seventy percent of people use either one two three four,
- 23:17Speaker 1: double o seven, triplo seven their birthday some or oh
- 23:25Speaker 1: gosh seven seven seven seven or again one two three four.
- 23:29Speaker 1: There's a dictionary of five hundred words. There's a dictionary
- 23:33Speaker 1: of five hundred words out there on the Internet that
- 23:36Speaker 1: anyone can find that most people use as a password.
- 23:40Speaker 1: But but that being Financy, so if I have a
- 23:43Speaker 1: list of user names and passwords for safe Facebook, I
- 23:48Speaker 1: can go to ringing Trium on that. I can go
- 23:50Speaker 1: on Instagram and Trium on that, and I can I
- 23:52Speaker 1: you know, I can go you know, I can go
- 23:55Speaker 1: to any website such as a Snapchat or anything and
- 23:59Speaker 1: just try shame una pass a good chance you're gonna
- 24:02Speaker 1: get it, you know, ben Levitan, I'm torn between admiring
- 24:06Speaker 1: your knowledge and admitting that you scare me every time
- 24:09Speaker 1: you open your mouth. Ashley Lamy, please tell me you
- 24:12Speaker 1: did not have it left on default. I did not,
- 24:15Speaker 1: and I also did not have an easy password to
- 24:18Speaker 1: guess if you did not know me. So that's why
- 24:22Speaker 1: this is really shocking to me, because you know all
- 24:25Speaker 1: these things that I'm hearing. I mean, I'm sure that
- 24:27Speaker 1: you know it had something to do with that. But
- 24:29Speaker 1: when we were first told about the dictionary you know
- 24:32Speaker 1: of most commonly used passwords and things like that, um,
- 24:36Speaker 1: you know our password was not common And I mean,
- 24:39Speaker 1: I can't share this now because this is not no
- 24:42Speaker 1: longer my password. But wait, wait before you say it
- 24:46Speaker 1: isn't your password on any other thing like your bank
- 24:48Speaker 1: or your credit card or your phone. No, this is
- 24:50Speaker 1: not my password from my ring account was different than
- 24:54Speaker 1: any password I'd ever use. But it was one of
- 24:57Speaker 1: my children's names. But it was, but it was not
- 25:00Speaker 1: something that was um, you know, my children have very
- 25:03Speaker 1: um I mean, other than Alissa, they don't have common names.
- 25:07Speaker 1: They all have double names, um, you know, with hyphens.
- 25:12Speaker 1: I mean. And it's okay because it's already out there.
- 25:15Speaker 1: But you know, one of one of my child's names,
- 25:17Speaker 1: you know, is ablea Kate. One of them is Ashland
- 25:20Speaker 1: James and that's her first name, I mean. And then
- 25:24Speaker 1: one of my daughter's names is Adelie's. And I've never
- 25:27Speaker 1: even met another Adelie's. I mean, not saying there isn't one,
- 25:30Speaker 1: but it's not common. So for somebody who didn't know me,
- 25:35Speaker 1: and it was a combination with a very old address
- 25:38Speaker 1: that was never even associated with me. Good gravy. Yes, so,
- 25:42Speaker 1: ben Levitan. If you haven't broken into Facebook or the
- 25:46Speaker 1: the insurance or the the whatever and stolen passwords, how
- 25:51Speaker 1: do people hack in? There are very sophisticated which that
- 25:56Speaker 1: someone could have hacked into, for example, uh, into ring itself,
- 26:03Speaker 1: but this is not likely. Most hacks are very very simple.
- 26:08Speaker 1: The device was up and on the default password for
- 26:11Speaker 1: a short period of time, it's possible they got it
- 26:14Speaker 1: then Uh, it's possible that you got confirmation email back
- 26:18Speaker 1: that was had or your husband had a different user
- 26:22Speaker 1: name and password. Uh, And they're just you know, there
- 26:26Speaker 1: are just the numerous tools out there, which we call
- 26:30Speaker 1: this fruit force ACKs that will just try every combination
- 26:34Speaker 1: of names and numbers and whatnot till they get too
- 26:37Speaker 1: John Cardillo, host of America, talks on news Max TV
- 26:40Speaker 1: former NYPD the specter of someone driving through your neighborhood
- 26:47Speaker 1: trying to pick up activity on nanny cams or rings.
- 26:54Speaker 1: How does that work? That's a scary thought. Yeah, so
- 26:58Speaker 1: as I you know, as as I first saw this
- 27:00Speaker 1: case and I watched Ashley's husband on TV, I was infuriated.
- 27:04Speaker 1: I want to see this treated as a burglary. You know,
- 27:07Speaker 1: back in two thousand and four or five, when the
- 27:09Speaker 1: Internet was really proliferating social networks, I was doing a
- 27:12Speaker 1: lot of work with the National Center for Missing the
- 27:14Speaker 1: Exploited Children, and we realized, Nancy, that we didn't have
- 27:17Speaker 1: laws to address the pedophile sexual predator threat on social networks. Well,
- 27:22Speaker 1: now every home has a ring. I have two rings.
- 27:24Speaker 1: I'm at home right now. I've got one on my
- 27:26Speaker 1: front gate and I've got one on my garage which
- 27:29Speaker 1: is in the back of the house, on that gate
- 27:31Speaker 1: to cover both in and out of the house. And
- 27:33Speaker 1: then I've got cameras in the house on a different system.
- 27:35Speaker 1: The security the alarm provider we don't have. And I'm
- 27:38Speaker 1: a small government guy. You know that We've argued about it.
- 27:41Speaker 1: But in this case, I would like to see legislation
- 27:43Speaker 1: that treats these people as felony burglars and treats them
- 27:47Speaker 1: with the same stiff sentencing that we see when somebody
- 27:51Speaker 1: solicits the child over the internet. What happened to Ashley's
- 27:54Speaker 1: daughter was predation. It was a predecessor to grooming a child.
- 27:58Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think the next step was hey,
- 28:01Speaker 1: little girl, take off your clothes. When you combine that
- 28:03Speaker 1: creepy song, this was a disturbed person. I want to
- 28:06Speaker 1: see a Jessica's Law type sentence in these laws. And
- 28:08Speaker 1: damn the trial bar and bleeding heart lawyers that say
- 28:11Speaker 1: they don't like mandatory minimums. I'd like to see a
- 28:13Speaker 1: defender over nineteen, victim under fourteen twenty five years, no parole,
- 28:17Speaker 1: first defense, life because here's the unintended consequence. Ashley is
- 28:22Speaker 1: a nurse. She's out there trying to save people's lives overnight.
- 28:26Speaker 1: But now she's distracted, worrying about her children, and she's
- 28:30Speaker 1: never going to trust a home security device again, a camera. Again.
- 28:34Speaker 1: This isn't a joke. We can't laugh this off and say, oh,
- 28:36Speaker 1: it's some loser in his mom's basement, because I'm going
- 28:40Speaker 1: back to where you started. Now her family doesn't feel
- 28:43Speaker 1: safe in their own home. Now they don't feel safe.
- 28:45Speaker 1: And let me tell you how her case resonated. I
- 28:47Speaker 1: belong to a couple of law enforcement fraternal groups. There
- 28:51Speaker 1: were cops in the groups putting up posts about Ashley's
- 28:53Speaker 1: case saying, Hey, if there are any cops in that area,
- 28:57Speaker 1: we'll join you. Guys, We'll sit outside of this family's
- 28:59Speaker 1: home off duty. This is how her case has resonated
- 29:02Speaker 1: because people have kids, and people have cameras, and they
- 29:05Speaker 1: were infuriated because the person that did this to her
- 29:08Speaker 1: family was scum, targeting an eight year old child in
- 29:12Speaker 1: her bedroom with one purpose to terrorize her and to
- 29:16Speaker 1: create fear in that family. And I think we need
- 29:19Speaker 1: to address this at a legislative level. And let's also
- 29:22Speaker 1: put penalties in the place for the people who watch
- 29:24Speaker 1: these videos. Blood curdling screams ring out. A concerned resident
- 29:46Speaker 1: goes outside to investigate. Captured on her doorbell camera are
- 29:51Speaker 1: the sounds of a woman crying out for help. You
- 29:57Speaker 1: can also hear a man's voice. It appears the cries
- 30:01Speaker 1: are coming from this white car zooming down the street.
- 30:04Speaker 1: This is the home where the camera captured the screams
- 30:07Speaker 1: and the car speeding away. A neighbor told me she
- 30:10Speaker 1: saw the struggle happening just two doors down and it
- 30:13Speaker 1: left her terrified. Car is right here, parked right here,
- 30:16Speaker 1: park right here, right here, to bunted. A car was industry.
- 30:20Speaker 1: So for a ring doorbell cam can't pick up that
- 30:27Speaker 1: screaming outside? What else can happen? Is it an open door?
- 30:35Speaker 1: In other words, can the reverse happen? We know now? Yes,
- 30:39Speaker 1: Ashley LeMay with me her ring camera hacked. I'm looking
- 30:44Speaker 1: at the video right now, with your little girl just
- 30:48Speaker 1: standing there paused as she hears this voice. Ashley LeMay
- 30:52Speaker 1: with me right now, Ashley, is there any chance the
- 30:56Speaker 1: cops can catch this guy? I really don't know. I mean,
- 31:00Speaker 1: I mean, I know that with the amount of national
- 31:03Speaker 1: intention the story has gotten, I think that they have
- 31:05Speaker 1: a much better chance, and I'm so thankful to um,
- 31:10Speaker 1: you know, even the person who just spoke about these posts,
- 31:12Speaker 1: I actually had no idea about that that, you know,
- 31:14Speaker 1: they had asked people to sit outside my house and
- 31:17Speaker 1: things like that, and I really, I mean, I'm I'm
- 31:20Speaker 1: really amazed at how everyone has come together to try
- 31:24Speaker 1: and help find out who did this. And one thing
- 31:29Speaker 1: that I will say is that I feel like they
- 31:31Speaker 1: have a better chance because I've had other victims reach
- 31:34Speaker 1: out to me. I mean multiple victims reach out to
- 31:37Speaker 1: me and tell me that, you know, thank you for
- 31:39Speaker 1: kind of having a voice, because a lot of us
- 31:42Speaker 1: were scared to speak up. And you know, because it
- 31:46Speaker 1: happened to a child, I felt like I had no choice.
- 31:48Speaker 1: That was kind of the only thing that gave me.
- 31:50Speaker 1: And guess a little bit of sense of something I
- 31:52Speaker 1: could do for her is just you know, be her
- 31:54Speaker 1: voice and tell her that I won't allow this, you know.
- 31:57Speaker 1: But I think that because they happened around at the
- 32:00Speaker 1: same time, like all of these hats that were related
- 32:03Speaker 1: to this podcast, they happened between eight fifteen and eight
- 32:06Speaker 1: thirty PM, or the majority of them did, and I
- 32:10Speaker 1: think that they will be able to narrow it down
- 32:12Speaker 1: to one location if they can find them. I'm not sure,
- 32:17Speaker 1: but I do think that they have a lot more
- 32:20Speaker 1: information than they do in most cases because of the
- 32:23Speaker 1: amount of attention that just received and people you know,
- 32:26Speaker 1: coming forward to help. I was reading about another case
- 32:29Speaker 1: that happened in San Jose, California through Google nest. The
- 32:36Speaker 1: mom and dad were at work and their eighteen month
- 32:38Speaker 1: old baby was home with a nanny, and a woman's
- 32:42Speaker 1: voice came through the device. She originally stayed the family
- 32:46Speaker 1: had a nice house, but then got angrier and angrier
- 32:51Speaker 1: and then said, I'm coming for the baby if you
- 32:53Speaker 1: don't answer me to the nanny. I mean, can you
- 32:59Speaker 1: even imagine that happening? Rhing cameras are a located all
- 33:04Speaker 1: across the country and very easily might could pull up
- 33:10Speaker 1: locations of over twenty thousand rhing cameras and it wasn't
- 33:14Speaker 1: even hard for them to do. So how does it happen?
- 33:19Speaker 1: Can the purp be caught? To Ashley LeMay, her rhing
- 33:23Speaker 1: camera hacked with her a little eight year old girl
- 33:26Speaker 1: being addressed directly by some perv? Ashley, do you believe
- 33:32Speaker 1: the purp could be someone you know? No? I don't
- 33:35Speaker 1: I did it first because they they knew my fears.
- 33:41Speaker 1: I mean, I know that insidious you know that movie
- 33:44Speaker 1: in that song is you know, a fear for a
- 33:45Speaker 1: lot of people. UM. But they also knew that. You know,
- 33:49Speaker 1: Elissa was my um, but you know, as my oldest
- 33:52Speaker 1: and you know, for a short time, I was a
- 33:54Speaker 1: single mom um. And not to say that, I mean,
- 33:57Speaker 1: I love all of my child here and you know, equally,
- 33:59Speaker 1: but we have kind of like a special bond, you know,
- 34:02Speaker 1: I feel like more of a protection towards her. So
- 34:07Speaker 1: with them interacting with her the way they did, it
- 34:09Speaker 1: made me feel like they knew that I was that
- 34:12Speaker 1: was a fear of mine. And you know, I don't
- 34:16Speaker 1: know if at the beginning of the video, you can
- 34:18Speaker 1: hear this person moaning while they're watching my child. And
- 34:23Speaker 1: there's another video prior to this where it's just playing
- 34:27Speaker 1: music and they're they're making noises, you know, like moaning
- 34:32Speaker 1: and things like that. And the video right before that,
- 34:35Speaker 1: before this person hatch, was a video of my two
- 34:39Speaker 1: year old going upstairs to change chance and I just
- 34:42Speaker 1: recently watched that because I was terrified to even see
- 34:47Speaker 1: what this person saw. But I felt like at this
- 34:50Speaker 1: point I needed to know. But you know, I believe
- 34:54Speaker 1: with every noun to me that this was a child credator. Yes,
- 34:57Speaker 1: but I don't think it's somebody I know, just because
- 35:00Speaker 1: it happened to people across the nation, and they were
- 35:03Speaker 1: all linked to the same time period in the same podcast,
- 35:07Speaker 1: and you can hear the same voice in a couple
- 35:10Speaker 1: of these videos. We were We were the first one
- 35:13Speaker 1: that were linked to the podcast. You know, our story
- 35:17Speaker 1: happened on December fourth, and all the ones I've heard,
- 35:21Speaker 1: I mean, as far as I know, everyone that happened
- 35:24Speaker 1: kind of after ours, you know about like the sixth
- 35:27Speaker 1: through the tenths. And like I said, I don't think
- 35:31Speaker 1: it's somebody I know, But I do think that it's
- 35:33Speaker 1: somebody who had, you know, an interest in messing with
- 35:36Speaker 1: my child. Are you talking about the nulled cast podcast? Yes,
- 35:42Speaker 1: take a listen to our friends at CBS. What's up?
- 35:45Speaker 1: How's your day? The videos are alarming, and the most recent,
- 35:49Speaker 1: a disembodied voice scares a woman sound asleep in Connecticut
- 35:54Speaker 1: Hope Discovery with Field. In another case, a hacker talks
- 36:00Speaker 1: to an eight year old girl in her bedroom. I'm
- 36:05Speaker 1: your best friend. I'm Santa claus In others, the unknown
- 36:10Speaker 1: voices use racist taunts. According to a Vice News report,
- 36:15Speaker 1: some of the incidents may have been prompted by Noldcast,
- 36:18Speaker 1: a podcast that encourages hackers to prank ring camera owners
- 36:22Speaker 1: and stream it live. Allegedly, those who run the show
- 36:26Speaker 1: have used social media to ask hackers to calm down
- 36:30Speaker 1: due to the investigations on its site. Nold says the
- 36:33Speaker 1: group does not and will not tolerate this kind of harassment. Well,
- 36:37Speaker 1: guess what, that's what they're encouraging. It sounds like to me,
- 36:40Speaker 1: to doctor Daniel Bober, forensic psychiatrists joining us out of
- 36:44Speaker 1: the floor, to jurisdiction, doctor Daniel Bober, it's so scary.
- 36:50Speaker 1: And I compare it to people that groom children on
- 36:55Speaker 1: the playground or the video arcade or them all or
- 37:00Speaker 1: in chat rooms. It's the same thing you talked to
- 37:03Speaker 1: the child, taught to the child, convince a child to
- 37:06Speaker 1: keep it a secret until you lure the child out
- 37:08Speaker 1: of the home. Absolutely, Nancy, and I mean this is
- 37:10Speaker 1: pure grooming behavior, like exactly what you said. Whether it's
- 37:14Speaker 1: you know, in the mall or in a video arct,
- 37:16Speaker 1: it's exactly the same thing. And whether these people are
- 37:18Speaker 1: doing it to try to groom these kids, or whether
- 37:21Speaker 1: they're doing it you're for pure sadistic indulgence. It's still,
- 37:25Speaker 1: you know, in my mind, just a serious crime. Let
- 37:27Speaker 1: me tell you something, Bober. I don't know how you're
- 37:29Speaker 1: going to break this down with your psychiatric degree, but
- 37:32Speaker 1: I know this purely anecdotal, But every time I had
- 37:37Speaker 1: a peeping Tom, it grew into something much worse, such
- 37:41Speaker 1: as child abuse, rape, sodomy, burglary. That's where it always starts.
- 37:47Speaker 1: And that's what these people are. They are peeping Tom.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Ben Levitan, just explain to me. I find it very
- 37:54Speaker 1: difficult to believe that you can't tell the IP address
- 37:59Speaker 1: from the gains access to your camera. I find that
- 38:02Speaker 1: very difficult to understand. Nancy. It's very easy to UH
- 38:06Speaker 1: beat that you're just basically routing it through multiple uh
- 38:12Speaker 1: anonymous routers all over the world. I mean, it's very
- 38:16Speaker 1: easy to do. It's kind of a system that passes
- 38:19Speaker 1: your messages for your request from one computer to another
- 38:23Speaker 1: computer around the world. So it makes it extremely difficult
- 38:28Speaker 1: to find that you could trace it back to one
- 38:30Speaker 1: or two links. And that's it, Nancy. I want to
- 38:33Speaker 1: go back to Ashley LeMay, Ashley, what's the fallout, how
- 38:38Speaker 1: is your child? How are you? What's your message to
- 38:41Speaker 1: other parents? UM, we're really just shaking up at in
- 38:46Speaker 1: the moment. I mean, and I think figuring out all
- 38:50Speaker 1: of this to do with the podcast and everything else,
- 38:53Speaker 1: it just kind of confirmed that I'm not as parenthoid
- 38:57Speaker 1: as I thought, or that maybe maybe I am, but
- 38:59Speaker 1: you know this, UM, maybe I need to be, and
- 39:01Speaker 1: that you know, my child is she homeschooled, and so
- 39:05Speaker 1: you know, one of the reasons that we did that
- 39:07Speaker 1: was because of boys and that being such a real thing.
- 39:12Speaker 1: And you know, even locally around near me, um, near
- 39:16Speaker 1: my house, not not too far from me, a teenager recently,
- 39:21Speaker 1: um committed suicide because a boy and that was a
- 39:24Speaker 1: real you know, and we're we're near a very good school. UM,
- 39:28Speaker 1: but that was something that you know, I felt like
- 39:30Speaker 1: my child was safe because she was she was homeschooled,
- 39:33Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I was involved in the community
- 39:36Speaker 1: that she was a part of. And you know, it
- 39:38Speaker 1: was never about sheltering or really like control. It was
- 39:41Speaker 1: just you um that I felt like she was safe
- 39:44Speaker 1: and you know, she was happy, she loved and I mean,
- 39:48Speaker 1: she's now she's wetting the bed. Um, she can't sleep
- 39:53Speaker 1: in her room, and you know, we're we're trying to
- 39:57Speaker 1: re ship the room around and all this. And you know,
- 40:00Speaker 1: one thing that we're struggling with is that you know,
- 40:02Speaker 1: this only had our house using into Mark and you
- 40:05Speaker 1: know this is something that we you know, worked really hard,
- 40:09Speaker 1: you know, really hard for me, and you know this
- 40:11Speaker 1: is something that we all loved. And Um, this is
- 40:14Speaker 1: supposed to be a really happy first Christmas and I
- 40:17Speaker 1: new home and now, I mean, you know, I don't
- 40:20Speaker 1: even want to finish Christmas shopping for my shoulder and
- 40:22Speaker 1: I just don't want to do anything. You know, I've
- 40:24Speaker 1: had to take a medical leaves from work. Um. You know,
- 40:29Speaker 1: it's turned my whole life upside down. And you know,
- 40:34Speaker 1: over those four days that I have the cameras, it's
- 40:37Speaker 1: you know, it's going to affect my child, aiming for
- 40:40Speaker 1: the rest of my life. Um. And and she she's
- 40:45Speaker 1: kind of up and down that she I mean, you know,
- 40:48Speaker 1: the one thing that she really wants to you know,
- 40:51Speaker 1: get away from here for a few days. Um, that's
- 40:53Speaker 1: something that she really wants. And I just, you know,
- 40:56Speaker 1: with having to read on on the room right at Christmas.
- 40:59Speaker 1: I don't even know that's something that you know, we
- 41:02Speaker 1: could do right now. So I think that, you know,
- 41:03Speaker 1: I said, we're just we're having a hard time. But
- 41:06Speaker 1: one of our messages apparents is that, Yeah, when you're
- 41:10Speaker 1: reading these stories, um, maybe it look past you know,
- 41:14Speaker 1: all the questions of why did you have this in
- 41:17Speaker 1: their room or why did you die and and look
- 41:20Speaker 1: at the fact that this is an eight year old
- 41:24Speaker 1: and there's a much bigger projector out here than you know,
- 41:29Speaker 1: the idea of me having a camera and my child's bedrooms, Um,
- 41:33Speaker 1: and real hoist that can pass. Wait wait, wait, wait,
- 41:36Speaker 1: wait Ashley, are people actually attacking you because you have that? Yes,
- 41:41Speaker 1: I mean I've had all kinds of like hate messages
- 41:45Speaker 1: from and it's and I don't care honestly, Um, you know,
- 41:49Speaker 1: anybody can say anything they want to because at the
- 41:53Speaker 1: end of the day, like my daughter looked at them
- 41:56Speaker 1: and when I mean, and she came downstairs and she
- 41:59Speaker 1: was like, this is not Santa Claus. And if this
- 42:02Speaker 1: would have happened to a child who wasn't love and
- 42:05Speaker 1: who wasn't educated and you know, taught these things, then
- 42:10Speaker 1: I don't know that that their reaction would have been
- 42:12Speaker 1: the same. So anybody can comment on anything they want too,
- 42:16Speaker 1: that's fine, but I just want them to see the
- 42:19Speaker 1: bigger picture here that this like this can happen to you.
- 42:22Speaker 1: You know, Ashley, I'm just sick that people have haters
- 42:28Speaker 1: have decided to pick on you. I mean, I'm used
- 42:32Speaker 1: to it because I you know, I remember my first
- 42:35Speaker 1: hate me. It was a death threat from the Fulton
- 42:37Speaker 1: County Jail. That was facts to me. Okay, that was
- 42:40Speaker 1: only it wasn't too hard to solve. But I was
- 42:47Speaker 1: kind of like, all right, yeah, you come and get
- 42:49Speaker 1: me when you're out of jail in twenty five years. Okay.
- 42:53Speaker 1: So but my point is there are so many haters
- 42:57Speaker 1: out there. I don't even care about them. I dread
- 43:01Speaker 1: the day that my children go on and read all
- 43:04Speaker 1: the ugly things that have ever been said. I hate
- 43:07Speaker 1: that thought. But you, Ashley, I anyone else can let
- 43:14Speaker 1: somebody else stop you from doing the right thing. And
- 43:18Speaker 1: the right thing is to protect your children. That's why
- 43:22Speaker 1: you had the nanny cams so you could talk to
- 43:24Speaker 1: them and protect them. I don't understand the hater's thinking
- 43:31Speaker 1: because clearly you're trying to be close to your children
- 43:34Speaker 1: and a nurse to boot. It's not like you're some
- 43:37Speaker 1: investment banker on Wall Street just trying to rake in
- 43:39Speaker 1: the money. You're actually trying to help people. Did you
- 43:44Speaker 1: take down the cameras? Yes, we unplug them immediately. I
- 43:49Speaker 1: mean when they wouldn't you know, my husband actually ran
- 43:52Speaker 1: in there. It says, I peened your IP address and
- 43:55Speaker 1: I'm sending the police to your house, you know, And
- 43:58Speaker 1: then they wouldn't stop. They were actually using racial slurs
- 44:02Speaker 1: with my daughter also, and she had never even heard
- 44:04Speaker 1: that word. So she my husband unplugged the cameras and
- 44:08Speaker 1: they've they've been down ever since. I mean, we haven't
- 44:10Speaker 1: plugged them back up or done anything with them. You know.
- 44:13Speaker 1: I thank God for one thing, and that is that
- 44:17Speaker 1: whoever was talking to your child did not lure her
- 44:21Speaker 1: out of the home. And my prayer is that she
- 44:27Speaker 1: makes a complete recovery from this. And I know that
- 44:32Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard. People may not get it, but
- 44:36Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be hard. Things like that still
- 44:39Speaker 1: with you the rest of your life. And now you
- 44:42Speaker 1: have another duty, Ashley Lamay. In addition from being a
- 44:46Speaker 1: nurse and a mom. You got to help her get
- 44:49Speaker 1: past it. Guys, Ash's messaged today is to be ever vigilant.
