  Speaker 2: There's a bunch of donkeys out here in the streets.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: If we live a life where we bite our tongue

  Speaker 1: based off who we may offend, we never would say anything.

• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Donkey of the Day for Monday, November 9th goes to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: 36-year-old Caprice Williams of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Not just Caprice, but everybody responsible.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: For making sure children in foster care are supposed, you know,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to be safe, okay? To all of y'all who failed
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: 10-year-old Malaysia outfit, all of y'all getting this big keyhole, okay?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: RIP to that young lady. As a parent of young kids, man,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: there are just some things I don't even want to see.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: There are some things I don't even want to hear.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: And a 10-year-old girl being killed by someone in the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: same system that is supposed to keep them safe just
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: disturbs my spirit on a different level, okay? Would you
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: like to hear more of this disgusting news? Let's go
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to NBC Philadelphia for the report, please.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Outside Malaysia Alford's foster home on North Simpson Street, the
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: memorial grows while information about what allegedly happened inside the
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: house is coming out of the darkness. Detectives interviewed two
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: juvenile witnesses who are family members of Caprice Williams. According
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: to the arrest report, one said Williams used a phone
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: cord to hit Malaysia and threw her.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Down the stairs.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: And both witnesses say on Saturday, October 24th, they saw
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Malaysia lying in a bed. And each of the three
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: times they saw her, she never changed position with her
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: arm behind her back. The report goes on to say
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the second witness said Williams would make Malaysia walk up
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: and down the stairs. wearing a heavy vest and that
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Williams had once not allowed the decedent to eat for
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: a week. The documents show Williams used the girl's phone
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: to send text messages to herself. One said, Mommy, I
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: know you are waiting for me to come home, but
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: my family said they don't want me to be adopted
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: and I just wish we can all be together. Earlier
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: this week, investigators say they obtained video showing a man
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: dragging a large bag down the sidewalk. and putting it
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: into a parked vehicle which is driven away. Investigators used
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: that video to track down the man who they say
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: told them in an interview, you want me to tell
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: you and then my life is ruined. You have to
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: give me some time because I'm not doing it tonight.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: That man later drove with investigators to where the body
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: was found. at this apartment complex in Lindenwald, New Jersey.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Nadeem Bazar is an attorney with Klein Inspector. He is
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: representing Malaysia's estate and also represented a family over a
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: 2021 incident where Williams is accused of abusing a four-year-old
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: foster child. According to the complaint, the Child Protective Services
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: report described the child as malnourished with abrasions to her face.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I think that what we're going to do is we're
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: going to dig down and we're going to find out
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: what happened and how this situation of background checks got
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: derailed or were ignored.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I want everybody listening to the sound of my voice
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to understand something. When the government removes a child from
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: their home and places that child in somebody else's care,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that's an enormous responsibility, okay?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You are telling that.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Child and their family that this is a safer environment, okay?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: It's just a safer environment, all right?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: So with that said, somebody needs to explain to me
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: how a 10-year-old Malaysia outfit ended up dead in the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: trunk of a car in New Jersey. When you hear
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: all of the abuse... that she allegedly had to go through.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: None of that was discipline. That was just straight up torture.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: When I was young, my daddy beat me with an
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: extension cord and made me take a bath afterwards so
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the warm water would hit the whelps.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: That's part of the reason I don't beat my kids now.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Don't believe in it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And I need grown people to stop confusing cruelty with discipline.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Discipline is supposed to teach a child something.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Abuse teaches a child to fear the very people that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: they're supposed to trust, okay?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Not only did Malaysia die from blunt force trauma.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You just heard in the news report, this woman, Caprice,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: according to investigators, used Malaysia's phone to send messages, making
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: it appear that the child had gone to be with
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: her biological family.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Think about the level of deception. involved in that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: A little girl is dead and instead of calling for
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: help authorities alleged the person responsible for protecting her was
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: trying to create a story to explain why she was
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: missing and what makes the story even worse capri williams
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was reportedly an elementary school teacher this is why everyone
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be a teacher a teacher is a very sacred
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: position it's an act of public service that deserves way
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: more pay and way more respect and you have to
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: be fit to serve and caprice clearly was not okay
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but we're not gonna let the conversation stop with caprice
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: williams no no no no It's a whole village that
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: fell in Malaysia. According to NBC 10 Philadelphia, Williams previously
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: had been identified in a civil lawsuit involving another foster
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: child who suffered severe injuries while in her case. That
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: child was hospitalized in 2021 and the lawsuit described injuries
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: so serious that a doctor reportedly characterized the case as
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a near fatality.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: The foster home was reportedly closed following that incident.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: So that brings me to the question I want everybody
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia's child welfare system to answer.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: How in the hell did another child end up in
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that home? Who approved it?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Who reviewed our history? Who conducted the background checks? Who
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: was responsible for monitoring that placement? And did anybody know
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: about the previous allegations? If they didn't, why not? Okay,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and accuse individual caseworkers
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: of wrongdoing without evidence, but somebody has to explain how
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a foster home reportedly closed following allegations of a near-fatal
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: child abuse situation, but they were apparently allowed to take
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in another child. Because if those reports are accurate, this
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: isn't just a conversation about one woman's alleged cruelty. This
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is a conversation about whether the safeguards designed to protect
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: vulnerable children actually work. And please don't give we the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: public some generic statement about reviewing procedures and scripting and protocols. No,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we need answers. OK, we need to know who authorized
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the placement. We need to know whether the previous allegations
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: were documented and accessible. We need to know whether proper
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: inspections and follow ups occurred and whether there were warning signs.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: That somebody missed or are ignored. OK, if mistakes were made.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Identify them if people were negligent hold them accountable if
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the system has holes in it fix them before another
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: child falls through those same holes okay man this story
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: just makes you want to physically f somebody up okay
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: malaysia was 10 years old she should have been worrying
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: about homework what she wanted for christmas not whether the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: adult responsible for her care was gonna hurt her and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that's what breaks my heart man children don't get to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: choose the systems they're born into They don't get to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: choose the circumstances that put them in foster care, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: they damn sure don't get to choose the adults the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: government places them with. That's why the responsibility falls on us. So, yes,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Capri Williams deserves to face the full weight of the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: justice system if these allegations are proven true. But she
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: also needs her ass beat in prison. OK, you tough
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: with a 10 year old. Let me see if you
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: tough with somebody doing 10 to 20. OK, but accountability
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: cannot just end with, you know, her getting convicted of murder.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: That child was placed in the care of the state.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Now that child is dead in a home with a
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: documented history of serious abuse allegations. The public deserves to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: know whether that death could have been prevented. And if
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it could have been, then the question isn't just who
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: killed Malaysia Alford. The question is who had a responsibility
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to protect her. and had the information to recognize the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: danger and failed to act. Rest in peace, Malaysia Alford,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and please give Capri Williams and every person whose negligence
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: may have contributed to this tragedy the biggest hee-haw.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Horrible world we live in. So damn sad. Taylor said
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: she went to school with the girl. She said the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: girl was a bully. Stank.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Stank.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: They used to call her a whale or something like that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Damn, yo.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Her brother used to call her a whale. Her brother
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: used to call her a whale, yeah. sound like hurt
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: people hurt people to me yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: It sound like hurt people kill people that's crazy cause
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that they like you said all of that
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: was true she all the people that turned a blind eye.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't see anything. They're just as worse as she was.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: That's right. They just do their job. Poor family. Poor
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: young girl. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Rest in peace, Malaysia. Yes. When we come back, we
• 8:36
