CLEVELAND -- A baby sitter, taking care of her cousins and her sister, called for help when she heard someone breaking into the home.

However when police arrived, 5 On Your Side investigator Ron Regan discovered, an officer came and went, leaving a burglar inside the home.

"I'm just scared, terrified of what could happen to any of us," the 13-year-old sister said.

The baby sitter, Chauntelle McCamp, said she heard someone enter through the back door and go to an upstairs bedroom.

"Because when you walk in this room above us, you can hear little creak noise like 'eeeeeak,'" said McCamp.

She said whoever it was had watched and waited until everyone was downstairs.

"I was taking care of my cousins and my sister and especially the baby because she was the youngest out of all of us," she said. "I felt my heart beat. It was like beating real fast and I was shaking."

McCamp and her 13-year-old sister called 911 for help.

McCamp: "Someone kicked in my top porch."

Dispatcher: "Someone broke in your house?"

McCamp: "Yes."

Officer Art Brown was sent to investigate, Regan reported. He met up with the officer.

Regan: "I want to ask you a couple of questions about a burglary on 105th on July 14. What happened?"

Brown: "I'm not prepared to answer any question at this point."

Regan said that's because McCamp said after inspecting the broken door that neighbors help board up, Brown never searched in the room that had been turned upside down and ransacked.

"As I'm walking up the stairs, he stops at the bottom of the stairs. He never goes up. No, never goes up the stairs," McCamp said.

A copy of Brown's police report even claims the intruder exited the home. According to Regan, that may have been a critical mistake.

Then at about 4:30 a.m., McCamp said she heard noises.

"When I heard big noises, big strong feet walking across the floor, that's when I knew. I just knew somebody was still in our house, in this house. I couldn't deal with it no more," she said.

McCamp dialed 911 -- again.

Dispatcher: "Where are you hearing the noises? Where are they coming from?"

McCamp: "From upstairs. I have everybody downstairs. I know for a fact somebody's still in here. We can hear him, and as we're on the phone with you, we can hear him. He's moving around."

Regan reported at that time, the intruder fled downstairs -- this time with police in hot pursuit. He was finally captured hiding in a bathroom.

Brandon Taylor, 19, was arrested and charged with burglary and theft.

"Anything could have happened. We put our lives in their hands," McCamp said.

Regan wanted to get Brown's side of the story -- how could police leave a baby sitter with a burglar still inside the house?

Regan: "You could have called for backup."

Brown: "Talk to Lt. Stacho."

Regan: "These kids could have been hurt."

Brown: "Talk to Lt. Stacho."

Regan: "No comment from you?"

Brown: "No, I'm under authority."

He said he was ordered not to talk. But Regan said what happened that night has a Cleveland mother still waiting for answers.

"Truthfully, I feel like the cop should be fired. You shouldn't be able to get a slap on the wrist, sit behind a desk -- none of that. He should be fired. He put too many lives in danger," said Sandra Campbell.

Regan said this is not the first time Brown has been in trouble with his own department. Regan will have more on that story Friday at 6 p.m.
