Speaker 2 (00:15):
Who's getting that donky, that donkey that don't don't don't
don't dun't donk.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
The other day right here the breakfast club. Bitch, you
you could call me the donkey of the day, but
like I mean, no harm. Yes, don't you Today? For Tuesday,
April first April, Foolday goes to an Augustine man named
Chris Lewis. Okay, Chris is twenty four years old, and
he was arrested for leaving his kids at the McDonald's
while he attended a job interview. I repeat, he was
(00:41):
arrested for leaving his kids at the McDonald's while he
attended a job interview. Hey, we listen, we don't judge.
I'm lying, we judge it. Let's go to Fox twenty
six Houston for the report police.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
A job interview ends badly for a man named Georgia
Chris Lewis was arrested March twenty second. Police say he
left his kids in a McDonald's by themselves while he
went to an interview for a job. He reportedly told
police he did not have a car and lived nearby.
Lewis said instead of making his three kids, who are one, six,
(01:14):
and ten years old, walk home alone, he decided to
make them stay.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
In the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
What we know is he was there from fourth the
kids were there from four point thirty. He returned at
six eighteen, and then the mother was on the way
as well. But we don't know if she was called
by police or him after the fact, or if she
was on the way anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
He was twenty foty as a ten year old, So yeah,
that child at fourteen? Yes, hey, do you know how
young ten six in one are? Okay, I have a
nine year old, a six year old and a three
year old. I don't like leaving them alone in the
family room while I'm upstairs. Nonetheless dropping them off at
a McDonald's restaurant while I attend a job interview. Now,
I know some of y'all are out here, you know,
out there thinking well, at least he was going to
(01:57):
do something productive like going on a job interview. Well,
if that's what you think, you are missing the entire point. Okay.
The issue here is the fact that Chris left his
ten to six and one year old unattended at a McDonald's. Okay.
A witness reported seeing him with his children around four
thirty pm. The witness also observed him leave the restaurant,
return later before leaving again, and then when he came
(02:18):
back at the restaurant around six eighteen pm, that's when
he was detained by offices. That's almost two hours that
he left his kids unattended at a McDonald's. Anything could
have happened in that two hours. Kidnapping, let's start there, Okay,
medical emergency would have one of the kids hurt themselves
and needed immediate attention. People at McDonald's not paying attention.
That's not a damn daycare andy, and then making fishing
(02:38):
flats and making sure the quarter pounds is a poundering
Why would they be paying attention to your kids now?
The news report said the child's mother arrived shortly after
and took the children from the restaurant. Why couldn't they
have been with the mother to begin with, don't nobody
got no grandparents, no aunts? Where your parents at?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Chris?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I'm not judging. I'm just asking questions. I'm trying to
understand your thought. I says, Hey, okay, I'm trying to
understand why you thought this was okay. You didn't even
try to slip one of the McDonald's employees a couple
of dollars to say, hey, bro, I gotta run to
the job interview real quick. Can you just watch my
kids for a second. That wouldn't have been the right
thing to do either, but it would have been better
than just leaving them there unattended. Now, Chris, I don't
(03:17):
want you to think I have a zero empathy for you.
I do. I understand. You know, it's a hustle. Times
are hard. Everything costs. Daycare is no joke, you know,
babiesit the prices are no joke. You probably didn't even
have the money to offer anyone you know, to watch
your kids, Okay, trying to secure employment to provide your family,
provide for your family. That's commendable. Round of applause for that. Okay,
(03:39):
But what's our job is meant? Our job is meant
is to protect and provide. I put protect in front
of provision for a reason, because the safety of our kids,
the safety of our families, comes before anything else. Okay,
I can figure anything else side. I've been broke before.
I can get to the money in some way. I
can deal with that. But your baby's being hurt because
of your negligence. I can't live with that. Okay. There
(04:03):
is no job you could possibly acquire on this planet
that is worth more than the safety and well being
of your kids. Let's just say, Chris, you got the job.
You all excited, you rushing back to McDonald's, happy as hell. Okay,
you get their kids gone, somebody gonna snatched them up.
Tell me if that job is worth it? Then? Oh
what if you would have got back and you pull
(04:23):
up and it's ambulances everywhere? Okay, because the one year
old then suffocated in the pittoplastic balls. You tell me
if that job interview you went on was worth that. Okay.
There are resources and community programs designed to help parents
in these situations. I did some research, and by research
all I mean is Google. Okay, you could have called
Family Promise of Augusta. They got a cost free childcare center. Now,
(04:45):
from what I read, they help homeless families, but I'm
sure they could have helped you too. I'm just saying
there had to be other options. Okay. McDonald's menu has
one hundred and forty five items. That's one hundred and
forty five different things to choose from. Why am I
saying that? I'm saying that because if McDonald's has one
hundred and forty five items, if they have that many options,
(05:06):
then us as humans have to give ourselves more options too.
I'm sure you could have found at least one more
option other than dropping your kids off at McDonald's. That
can't be the plan A and the only plan period. Okay,
let's hope this serves as a lesson to all parents
before you make poor choices like this, seek out support
systems and plan accordingly when you're faced with these kinds
(05:28):
of challenges, because nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is
worth jeopardizing the safety of your children. Please give Chris
Lewis the biggest he hulled. Am I tripping? Nah? Okay? No,
I tell you when you are, but now you're not.
He deserves donkey, but he doesn't deserve to be arrested.
(05:50):
What are you talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'm gonna tell you why, right, because you said a
lot of stuff that we don't necessarily know about. Maybe
he had a babysitter in play and last minute be
sitting canceled and he's trying to do right, he's trying
to get a job, and maybe he thought, you know what,
not to say that this was a smart decision. But
let me try. It's not like he was going to
the club. It's not like he was at the mall shopping.
(06:12):
It's not like he was at a chick house or
you're smoking some weed or selling some dope. He was
trying to better his life. Now the decision he made
was stupid. But now he gets this, he's now he's
arrested for this. Now is this on his record? Now
he can't get a good job because that's on his record.
It is definitely it is fed up and it is foul.
It's not a way they can both the law. But
(06:32):
as a community, you know what I mean, we should
have certain graces when it comes to certain things. Like
I said, if he was at a club, yes, lock
him up. If he was at the mall shopping, if
he was smoking weed, he's selling crack. If he was
at a chick house but he was trying to better
his life.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
No, I'm just that why not take them to the
actual interview?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Then he said he didn't want them to walk. I'm
sorry he didn't have he would have to walk with
the kids. Some ask you a question, maybe if something would
have happened to the kids, would you still feel that way?
If the kids would have got kidnapped, if one of
the kids would have suffocated in the in the play,
would you still feel that it would have been a
sad situation. But would you still say he shouldn't have
been arrested. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I don't think he would have been arrested because he's
not doing it on purpose. He's really trying to better
his life, and the circumstances with life hit him.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Hey man, I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Like, like, think about it like this. Say he did
have a babysitter. Let's say he did, and the babysity
candl last minute, and he's trying to get a job.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's not your ten years old, right, I'm not saying
it's in your one year old.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Saying it's smart. I'm not saying it's a right decision
or a smart decision. But that man is trying to
better his life, and we've all been to a place
where it's just for what that got to do with
the safety of your children, right, I don't care how
much you're trying to jail.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Listen, he broke the law. I don't know nothing about that.
But my point is you can't say this man is
trying to better his like you can't put you know,
you being unemployed over the safety of your children, the
safety of.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Your children, not saying it's a smart decision. I just
don't think you should have went to jail.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
They wanna walk with me, I get he ain't want
them to walk, all right, Well, I'm gonna carry you
into I get tired in your little brother, gonna hold
you dumb na pick you back up, something like they're
gonna be with me at this job interview, because that
may entice the job the people to give them the
job even more.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
This guy's his kids. I don't want to make no Listen,
I just don't think you should yeopardize the safety of
your children. I agree in the pursuit of impact, I
agree one thousand man. I can't say I can't I
can't say I can't say he shouldn't be arrested.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Let's open up the phone lines. Let's discuss eight hundred
and five five one oh five one. This young man,
he's twenty four years old. He had a job interview.
He left his three children in McDonald's while he did
the job interview. The ages of his children are one,
six and ten. He was arrested for it. Do you
think he should have been arrested?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Don't get it?
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Did he take any did he tell anybody in McDonald's,
look y'all? Did he put them on point?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Do he know them?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Like? If he you know?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
What I'm saying is that McDonald's he go to you
all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
When's the last time you've been to McDonald's with a ballpick?
I don't know, because I wanted to. They all look
like urgent cares now.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's like, and you know why they got rid of
the ball pitch because they were dangerous? Yeah, because they
were safety has of the kids. And that's when you
leave your children. You played it when you was a kid.
I played was played in the goddamn ballpits when I
was a kid.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
