He put me into a chokehold.” She then is heard telling someone in the room, “You wanna see the marks on my neck?” and “I didn’t hit you.”
Stacey tells the operator that she’s with three children and one adult and that, “They’re all talking about how they’re going to be a witness against me. Because I basically tried to get this 15-year-old out of my face.” Stacey then decides she doesn’t want police responding, telling the operator, “Well it’s calmed down now. I don’t think you need to come. If something else happens then I can call back. I’m going to leave the premises,” while the operator says, “We can still send somebody out there to make sure everything is okay.”
Stacey tells the operator that she has called her lawyer and he’s on the way to the house. “I’m going to do my best to leave the premises. I just want to get out of here safely,” she continues and the operator tells her that help is coming as fast as they can.

I’m the one with the scratches,” Jeffrey adds while arguing can be heard among the kids, as the operator asks, “What’s going on in the background?”
“They’re arguing, they’re still saying what a bitch I am. How I’m the stepmother. How they all hate me and are disrespectful, awful children.

You don’t know what my job is…just keep your mouth shut,” she’s heard telling someone in the room as a girl yells back, “We aren’t your children so don’t tell me to shut up.” “They are the most unruly children, please please…” Stacey tells the operator who keeps begging the actress to “Stop engaging them.”
