- 0:27Speaker 1: brother from Augusta, Georgia, who was arrested for deprivation of
- 0:30Speaker 1: a minor after he left his kids three kids ages
- 0:35Speaker 1: ten to six and one years old, at a McDonald's
- 0:38Speaker 1: unattended because he had a job interview. Can I refresh
- 0:42Speaker 1: your memory? Let's go to Fox twenty six Houston for
- 0:44Speaker 1: the report police.
- 0:45Speaker 3: A job interview ends badly for a man in Georgia.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Chris Lewis was arrested March twenty second. Police say he
- 0:52Speaker 3: left his kids in a McDonald's by themselves while he
- 0:55Speaker 3: went to an interview for a job. He reportedly told
- 0:59Speaker 3: police he did not have a car and lived nearby.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Lewis said instead of making his three kids, who are one,
- 1:07Speaker 3: six and ten years old walk home alone. He decided
- 1:10Speaker 3: to make them stay in the restaurant. What we know
- 1:13Speaker 3: is he was there from fourth the kids were there
- 1:16Speaker 3: from four point thirty. He returned at six eighteen, and
- 1:19Speaker 3: then the mother was on the way as well. But
- 1:22Speaker 3: we don't know if she was called by police or
- 1:25Speaker 3: him after the fact, or if she was on the
- 1:27Speaker 3: way anyway.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Now, let's talk. I gave him donkey today for one
- 1:31Speaker 1: simple reason. You don't jeopardize your child safety in the
- 1:33Speaker 1: pursuit of employment, because there's no job on this planet
- 1:36Speaker 1: that would make up for something happening to your child
- 1:38Speaker 1: in a McDonald's. It's that simple salute to the good
- 1:41Speaker 1: sister Tony Rivera dropping the clues band for Tony Rivera.
- 1:43Speaker 1: You know, she's always out here providing, you know, human
- 1:46Speaker 1: trafficking awareness. And she told me it's so much trafficking
- 1:49Speaker 1: going on in Atlanta, in the Georgia area. She said,
- 1:51Speaker 1: black kids are going for a high rate right now,
- 1:53Speaker 1: She said, seventy five grand and up, okay, and you're
- 1:56Speaker 1: just gonna leave your three beautiful black babies ten six
- 1:58Speaker 1: and one. The finft him in a fast food restaurant for.
- 2:01Speaker 2: An hour and a half.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Times may be hard, but they gonna be even harder
- 2:05Speaker 1: if God forbid something tragic had happened to those kids.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Now y'all called up to this radio station.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Y'all was all in the comments, telling me, I forgot
- 2:12Speaker 1: where I came from, as if I ever came from
- 2:14Speaker 1: a place where my parents was leaving me unattended at
- 2:16Speaker 1: a fast food restaurant.
- 2:17Speaker 2: I see people.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Starting gofundmes for the young man Antonio Brown, as of
- 2:21Speaker 1: this morning, has raised almost eighty thousand grand for him.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Okay to post on the.
- 2:25Speaker 1: GoFundMe, says story called me by surprise, a dad just
- 2:28Speaker 1: trying to find a way to make money for his family.
- 2:30Speaker 1: I know he shouldn't just leave his kids, but some
- 2:32Speaker 1: people don't have the means for babysitting, etc. This gofund
- 2:35Speaker 1: me is certain place to help this man. I have
- 2:37Speaker 1: spoken with gofund me and they will get the funds
- 2:40Speaker 1: to Chris and his family.
- 2:41Speaker 2: I haven't spoken to Chris yet, but I hope to
- 2:44Speaker 2: do so soon.
- 2:45Speaker 1: You haven't spoken to Chris, but you're organizing to raise
- 2:48Speaker 1: money for him. Why you don't want to vet the
- 2:50Speaker 1: brother and make sure the story is what he says
- 2:52Speaker 1: it is? Because to me, and I said, just yesterday,
- 2:55Speaker 1: the story wasn't adding up. I wasn't trying to cast
- 2:58Speaker 1: doubt on the brother's story, even though his story sounded
- 3:00Speaker 1: like it had bacterial vaginosius. Okay, well whatever, it just
- 3:05Speaker 1: sounded fishy, Okay. I was just pointing out the fact
- 3:08Speaker 1: that a job, our job interview shouldn't come before the
- 3:11Speaker 1: safety of your kids.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Okay.
- 3:12Speaker 1: A man's job is to protect and provide, and protect
- 3:15Speaker 1: comes before provision for a reason. To me, when I
- 3:18Speaker 1: heard the story, it didn't make sense. These kids were
- 3:20Speaker 1: left alone for an hour and a half. What job
- 3:22Speaker 1: interview last that long? And witnesses said they kept seeing
- 3:25Speaker 1: Chris walk back and forth? What job interview? Lets you
- 3:28Speaker 1: just keep walking back and forth? Oh, Charlemagne, you don't
- 3:30Speaker 1: have no empathy, Charlemane, you're speaking from a place of privilege. No,
- 3:33Speaker 1: I'm speaking from a place of common sense. And common
- 3:36Speaker 1: sense ain't that common in this modern era. So today
- 3:39Speaker 1: we have an update from the same outlet that I
- 3:41Speaker 1: got the story from, the Augusta Press. The Richmond County
- 3:45Speaker 1: Authorities released a full report Wednesday with more details and
- 3:49Speaker 1: based on the video evidence and the timeline provided by
- 3:53Speaker 1: all parties involved. It was determined that Chris Lewis was
- 3:58Speaker 1: not I repeat, was not engaged and a job interview
- 4:01Speaker 1: our application process during the time the children were left unattended.
- 4:05Speaker 1: He was not really looking for a job while the
- 4:07Speaker 1: children were at McDonald's. Can I give you some details
- 4:10Speaker 1: from the police report and the noted inconsistencies Captain Danny
- 4:14Speaker 1: Whitehead noted in regards to the whereabouts of Chris while
- 4:17Speaker 1: his children were left attended.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Okay, let's start with the ten year old. You know,
- 4:22Speaker 2: the kid's gonna tell it, Okay.
- 4:23Speaker 1: She told offices that her siblings and her father walked
- 4:27Speaker 1: to McDonald's from the Hendricks apartment complex. She said her
- 4:31Speaker 1: daddy told her he had to deliver a backpack to
- 4:34Speaker 1: the apartment complex and told her he would return shortly.
- 4:38Speaker 1: The child also mentioned that her father, Chris, frequently leaves
- 4:42Speaker 1: them alone. Two witnesses said they recalled hearing Chris on
- 4:45Speaker 1: the phone with someone and he was overheard saying he
- 4:48Speaker 1: needed to drop something off. The witnesses stated that after this,
- 4:52Speaker 1: the father left McDonald's, leaving the children behind for approximately
- 4:56Speaker 1: an hour and a half. The ten year old daughter
- 4:58Speaker 1: contacted her mother on social media at approximately six pm.
- 5:02Speaker 1: The mother arrived at McDonald's at six twelve pm. She
- 5:06Speaker 1: advised that Chris was supposed to deliver a backpack to
- 5:09Speaker 1: her mother at the Hendrick's apartments and had been told
- 5:11Speaker 1: that he must take the children with him. The kid's
- 5:14Speaker 1: mother immediately called Chris, who answered and stated that he
- 5:18Speaker 1: was on the way back to McDonald's from the apartment complex.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Chris arrived at six eighteen pm, still in possession of
- 5:25Speaker 1: the backpack, and he told his child's mother that he
- 5:28Speaker 1: had been trying to find her to give her the backpack,
- 5:31Speaker 1: and the children's mother reminded him that he was not supposed.
- 5:35Speaker 2: To leave the children unattended. Don't go refunding your money
- 5:40Speaker 2: from gofund me. Now listen to the rest now.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Chris claimed he left the kids at McDonald's because he
- 5:45Speaker 1: went to fill out a job application at the West
- 5:48Speaker 1: Bank d which is located adjacent to the McDonald's, and
- 5:52Speaker 1: he was waiting for a callback for a possible interview.
- 5:55Speaker 2: He said he.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Left to drop the backpack off at the apartment complex,
- 5:58Speaker 1: but during the time, he lost his ID and he
- 6:02Speaker 1: lost another card and he had been retracing his steps
- 6:05Speaker 1: trying to find them. Oh, you can feel the niggatree
- 6:08Speaker 1: in this story rising. So Captain Whitehead went to the
- 6:12Speaker 1: West Bank End to verify Chris's story. He spoke to
- 6:15Speaker 1: the manager and she confirmed that Chris did come in
- 6:18Speaker 1: on March twenty second, and he did complete a job application.
- 6:21Speaker 1: She also conducted an informal interview with him on that date.
- 6:25Speaker 1: When asked if Chris would be expecting a callback for
- 6:27Speaker 1: a formal interview, she said no. The manager provided video
- 6:30Speaker 1: surveillance footage of when Chris was there.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Guess what the times were?
- 6:34Speaker 1: What were the times one twelve pm to one thirty
- 6:38Speaker 1: seven pm. The kids were left on attended at McDonald's
- 6:41Speaker 1: from four thirty pm to six twelve pm.
- 6:44Speaker 2: So, as I said.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Before, based on the video evidence and the timeline provided
- 6:48Speaker 1: by all parties involved, Chris was not engaged and the
- 6:51Speaker 1: job interview when he left the kids at McDonald's. Furthermore,
- 6:53Speaker 1: by his own admission, he was walking between McDonald's in
- 6:56Speaker 1: the apartment complex, you know, during that period, and the
- 7:00Speaker 1: distance between the two locations is zero point four miles. Now,
- 7:04Speaker 1: don't let any of that distract you from the fact that, regardless.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Of what Chris was doing, during this time.
- 7:09Speaker 1: You don't jeopardize your child safety in the pursuit of employment.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Are anything else because there is no job? Are anything
- 7:16Speaker 2: else you could be doing that would make up.
- 7:19Speaker 1: For something happening to your child when you leave them
- 7:22Speaker 1: unattended for an hour and a half in a public place.
- 7:26Speaker 1: I'm just doubling down on donkey today. You can discuss
- 7:29Speaker 1: amongst yourselves. Please leting me Ma give Chris Lewis the
- 7:32Speaker 1: biggest he hull.

- 8:01Speaker 5: goals and you can't change it either. See Charlemagne reported
- 8:04Speaker 5: exactly what happened, and that's what we made a decision
- 8:07Speaker 5: based off what he said. Now, if Charlemagne didn't give
- 8:10Speaker 5: the right information a couple of days ago, because a
- 8:13Speaker 5: couple of days ago, Charlomagne said this man was doing
- 8:16Speaker 5: a job again, a job.

- 8:27Speaker 1: did I just finished saying, because you know my don't listen.
- 8:29Speaker 1: I said, don't let any of that distract you from
- 8:32Speaker 1: the fact that, regardless of what Chris was doing during
- 8:34Speaker 1: this time, you don't jeopardize your child's safety and the
- 8:37Speaker 1: pursuit of employment or anything else. I gave him donkey
- 8:40Speaker 1: of the day for leaving the kids unattended at a
- 8:43Speaker 1: McDonald's for an hour and a half.
- 8:44Speaker 2: I don't give a damn what he was doing, agreed, I.
- 8:49Speaker 5: Said, I agree he should get donkey of the day,
- 8:52Speaker 5: but if he was actually going to a job interview,
- 8:56Speaker 5: it was not doing no f ish.
- 8:57Speaker 2: I didn't think he was doing.

- 9:07Speaker 1: leave your kids unattended an hour and a half.
- 9:09Speaker 2: And that's why I gave him.
