Okay, Chris is twenty four years old, and 14 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: he was arrested for leaving his kids at the McDonald's 15 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: while he attended a job interview. I repeat, he was 16 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: arrested for leaving his kids at the McDonald's while he 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: attended a job interview. Hey, we listen, we don't judge. 18 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm lying, we judge it. Let's go to Fox twenty 19 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: six Houston for the report police. 20 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 3: A job interview ends badly for a man named Georgia 21 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 3: Chris Lewis was arrested March twenty second. Police say he 22 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 3: left his kids in a McDonald's by themselves while he 23 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: went to an interview for a job. He reportedly told 24 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 3: police he did not have a car and lived nearby. 25 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 3: Lewis said instead of making his three kids, who are one, six, 26 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: and ten years old, walk home alone, he decided to 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 3: make them stay. 28 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: In the restaurant. 29 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 3: What we know is he was there from fourth the 30 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: kids were there from four point thirty. He returned at 31 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 3: six eighteen, and then the mother was on the way 32 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 3: as well. But we don't know if she was called 33 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 3: by police or him after the fact, or if she 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: was on the way anyway. 35 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: He was twenty foty as a ten year old, So yeah, 36 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: that child at fourteen? Yes, hey, do you know how 37 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: young ten six in one are? Okay, I have a 38 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: nine year old, a six year old and a three 39 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: year old. I don't like leaving them alone in the 40 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: family room while I'm upstairs. Nonetheless dropping them off at 41 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: a McDonald's restaurant while I attend a job interview. Now, 42 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: I know some of y'all are out here, you know, 43 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: out there thinking well, at least he was going to 44 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: do something productive like going on a job interview. Well, 45 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: if that's what you think, you are missing the entire point. Okay. 46 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: The issue here is the fact that Chris left his 47 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: ten to six and one year old unattended at a McDonald's. Okay. 48 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: A witness reported seeing him with his children around four 49 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: thirty pm. The witness also observed him leave the restaurant, 50 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: return later before leaving again, and then when he came 51 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: back at the restaurant around six eighteen pm, that's when 52 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: he was detained by offices. That's almost two hours that 53 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: he left his kids unattended at a McDonald's. Anything could 54 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: have happened in that two hours. Kidnapping, let's start there, Okay, 55 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: medical emergency would have one of the kids hurt themselves 56 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: and needed immediate attention. People at McDonald's not paying attention. 57 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: That's not a damn daycare andy, and then making fishing 58 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: flats and making sure the quarter pounds is a poundering 59 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: Why would they be paying attention to your kids now? 60 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: The news report said the child's mother arrived shortly after 61 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: and took the children from the restaurant. Why couldn't they 62 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: have been with the mother to begin with, don't nobody 63 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: got no grandparents, no aunts? Where your parents at? 64 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 3: Chris? 65 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: I'm not judging. I'm just asking questions. I'm trying to 66 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: understand your thought. I says, Hey, okay, I'm trying to 67 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 1: understand why you thought this was okay. You didn't even 68 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: try to slip one of the McDonald's employees a couple 69 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: of dollars to say, hey, bro, I gotta run to 70 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: the job interview real quick. Can you just watch my 71 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: kids for a second. That wouldn't have been the right 72 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: thing to do either, but it would have been better 73 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: than just leaving them there unattended. Now, Chris, I don't 74 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: want you to think I have a zero empathy for you. 75 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: I do. I understand. You know, it's a hustle. Times 76 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: are hard. Everything costs. Daycare is no joke, you know, 77 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: babiesit the prices are no joke. You probably didn't even 78 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: have the money to offer anyone you know, to watch 79 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: your kids, Okay, trying to secure employment to provide your family, 80 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: provide for your family. That's commendable. Round of applause for that. Okay, 81 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: But what's our job is meant? Our job is meant 82 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: is to protect and provide. I put protect in front 83 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: of provision for a reason, because the safety of our kids, 84 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: the safety of our families, comes before anything else. Okay, 85 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: I can figure anything else side. I've been broke before. 86 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: I can get to the money in some way. I 87 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: can deal with that. But your baby's being hurt because 88 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: of your negligence. I can't live with that. Okay. There 89 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: is no job you could possibly acquire on this planet 90 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: that is worth more than the safety and well being 91 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: of your kids. Let's just say, Chris, you got the job. 92 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: You all excited, you rushing back to McDonald's, happy as hell. Okay, 93 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: you get their kids gone, somebody gonna snatched them up. 94 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: Tell me if that job is worth it? Then? Oh 95 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: what if you would have got back and you pull 96 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: up and it's ambulances everywhere? Okay, because the one year 97 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: old then suffocated in the pittoplastic balls. You tell me 98 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: if that job interview you went on was worth that. Okay. 99 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: There are resources and community programs designed to help parents 100 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: in these situations. I did some research, and by research 101 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: all I mean is Google. Okay, you could have called 102 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: Family Promise of Augusta. They got a cost free childcare center. Now, 103 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: from what I read, they help homeless families, but I'm 104 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: sure they could have helped you too. I'm just saying 105 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: there had to be other options. Okay. McDonald's menu has 106 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five items. That's one hundred and 107 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: forty five different things to choose from. Why am I 108 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: saying that? I'm saying that because if McDonald's has one 109 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: hundred and forty five items, if they have that many options, 110 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: then us as humans have to give ourselves more options too. 111 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure you could have found at least one more 112 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: option other than dropping your kids off at McDonald's. That 113 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: can't be the plan A and the only plan period. Okay, 114 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: let's hope this serves as a lesson to all parents 115 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 1: before you make poor choices like this, seek out support 116 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: systems and plan accordingly when you're faced with these kinds 117 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: of challenges, because nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is 118 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: worth jeopardizing the safety of your children. Please give Chris 119 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: Lewis the biggest he hulled. Am I tripping? Nah? Okay? No, 120 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: I tell you when you are, but now you're not. 121 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: He deserves donkey, but he doesn't deserve to be arrested. 122 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: What are you talking about. 123 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why, right, because you said a 124 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: lot of stuff that we don't necessarily know about. Maybe 125 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 2: he had a babysitter in play and last minute be 126 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: sitting canceled and he's trying to do right, he's trying 127 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 2: to get a job, and maybe he thought, you know what, 128 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: not to say that this was a smart decision. But 129 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: let me try. It's not like he was going to 130 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 2: the club. It's not like he was at the mall shopping. 131 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: It's not like he was at a chick house or 132 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 2: you're smoking some weed or selling some dope. He was 133 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 2: trying to better his life. Now the decision he made 134 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: was stupid. But now he gets this, he's now he's 135 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: arrested for this. Now is this on his record? Now 136 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: he can't get a good job because that's on his record. 137 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: It is definitely it is fed up and it is foul. 138 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: It's not a way they can both the law. But 139 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: as a community, you know what I mean, we should 140 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: have certain graces when it comes to certain things. Like 141 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 2: I said, if he was at a club, yes, lock 142 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: him up. If he was at the mall shopping, if 143 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: he was smoking weed, he's selling crack. If he was 144 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: at a chick house but he was trying to better 145 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 2: his life. 146 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 4: No, I'm just that why not take them to the 147 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 4: actual interview? 148 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: Then he said he didn't want them to walk. I'm 149 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: sorry he didn't have he would have to walk with 150 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: the kids. Some ask you a question, maybe if something would 151 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: have happened to the kids, would you still feel that way? 152 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: If the kids would have got kidnapped, if one of 153 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: the kids would have suffocated in the in the play, 154 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: would you still feel that it would have been a 155 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: sad situation. But would you still say he shouldn't have 156 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: been arrested. I don't know. 157 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: I don't think he would have been arrested because he's 158 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: not doing it on purpose. He's really trying to better 159 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: his life, and the circumstances with life hit him. 160 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: Hey man, I mean. 161 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: Like, like, think about it like this. Say he did 162 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: have a babysitter.
