I think she goes over to that house all the time (she walked right inside without knocking) so probably is fully aware that the owner has a camera setup. I'm sure she did know she was on camera. But she didn't' do anything fake or out of the ordinary.
And, JMO, the video isn't especially touching or loving or anything else, IMO... she brings up the baby stroller, gets the baby out, goes inside, comes back out, sits down, tries her cellphone a couple of times, puts the baby back in the stroller. All she is doing is carrying her and it's being taken for some loving gesture. Moms carry babies on their hips, and when they sit down once in awhile they rock them and kiss their forehead... doesn't make 'em mom of the year IMO. Not if it's this mom. IMO.
A few observations....
- At the 18:35:29 mark, Angela arrives walking up the steps carrying Elaina in her arms. Stroller is sitting at the bottom of the steps.
- If this house is 11 blocks from the 704 Federal St house, then why would she be walking that distance taking the baby in a stroller? And where is the 4 year old?
- Notice the baby's shoes or socks are already sitting on the porch when Angela is walking up the steps. (So a section of the video portion at the start is missing. She's already been there on the porch when she put the babies shoes or sock there, then she apparently walked back to the stroller, then returned)
- At the 18:35:36 mark, she doesn't knock but just opens the door and walks inside. Elaina is on her left hip.
- At the 18:36:59 mark, suddenly she's back outside standing at the top of the steps, holding Elaina on left hip and talking on the phone using her right hand.
- At the 18:38:07 mark, Angela sits down on the porch still holding Elaina.
- At the 18:37:10 mark, Angela lays her phone, and something else down on the porch on her right side.
- At the 18:37:28 mark, Angela is rocking Elaina and it appears she's waiting for somebody to call her back on the phone.
- At the 18:37:43 mark, somebody must have texted her on the phone as she picks the phone up and she's reading the display.
- At the 18:37:53 mark, she picks up the babies shoes/socks that were sitting on the porch on her left, and she gets up and carries Elaina to the stroller and puts her in.
- At the 18:38:19 mark, a black cat with white paws walks across the porch.
- At the 18:38:25 mark, Angela is seen pushing the stroller away.
I do not believe this video was any kind of a set up, as in somebody trying to make her look like a loving mother. She did rock, cradle the baby to keep her from being fussy.
I think the camera is there so the home owner knows who is approaching the door. Considering she walked right in and she didn't seem uncomfortable doing that, then I would go so far as to suggest she called ahead so they knew she was coming. She was hardly inside the house long enough to do anything other than to drop or pick something up.
