'It' is what former Bibb Sheriff's Office Sgt. Omar Sanders calls 'failure': when a pregnant 14-year-old girl was left in a locked interview room overnight. Sanders lost his job over the incident.
According to an internal affairs report from the sheriff's office, the young woman was left in interview room 4 for about 21 hours. She did not eat. She did not have access to a bathroom. She had no phone to call home, her lawyer says.
"I don't respect none of this. And I don't deserve none of this," the girl's mother said the next day in an interview with Investigator Brannon Grace.
We're not identifying the girl or her mother because of the girl's age. Her attorney, John Fleming, says nobody checked on her.
"She was yelling out for help. She was knocking on the door," he said.
"I ain't get checked up on. I was talking to the camera thing. I don't know if it was on. I would ask them, 'Could I call my mama again?'" the girl said in her interview with Investigator Grace.

There can be NO tolerance for this. NONE.
