Speaker 1 (00:00):
If we live a life where we might our tongue
based off who he may have been.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
We never was saying on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I'm the words of Charlemagne, La God, he's a donkey.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh man, Charlemagne, you've given donkey the day to who now?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Well Buster rhymes donkey to day for Thursday, April third
is a double down to a donkey that I did
earlier this week. Chris Lewis the twenty four year old
brother from Augusta, Georgia, who was arrested for deprivation of
a minor after he left his kids three kids ages
ten to six and one years old, at a McDonald's
unattended because he had a job interview. Can I refresh
(00:42):
your memory? Let's go to Fox twenty six Houston for
the report police.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
A job interview ends badly for a man in 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,
(01:07):
six and ten years old walk home alone. He decided
to make them stay in the restaurant. 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
(01:27):
way anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Now, let's talk. I gave him donkey today for one
simple reason. You don't jeopardize your child safety in the
pursuit of employment, because there's no job on this planet
that would make up for something happening to your child
in a McDonald's. It's that simple salute to the good
sister Tony Rivera dropping the clues band for Tony Rivera.
You know, she's always out here providing, you know, human
trafficking awareness. And she told me it's so much trafficking
(01:49):
going on in Atlanta, in the Georgia area. She said,
black kids are going for a high rate right now,
She said, seventy five grand and up, okay, and you're
just gonna leave your three beautiful black babies ten six
and one. The finft him in a fast food restaurant for.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
An hour and a half.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Times may be hard, but they gonna be even harder
if God forbid something tragic had happened to those kids.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Now y'all called up to this radio station.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Y'all was all in the comments, telling me, I forgot
where I came from, as if I ever came from
a place where my parents was leaving me unattended at
a fast food restaurant.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I see people.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Starting gofundmes for the young man Antonio Brown, as of
this morning, has raised almost eighty thousand grand for him.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Okay to post on the.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
GoFundMe, says story called me by surprise, a dad just
trying to find a way to make money for his family.
I know he shouldn't just leave his kids, but some
people don't have the means for babysitting, etc. This gofund
me is certain place to help this man. I have
spoken with gofund me and they will get the funds
to Chris and his family.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I haven't spoken to Chris yet, but I hope to
do so soon.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You haven't spoken to Chris, but you're organizing to raise
money for him. Why you don't want to vet the
brother and make sure the story is what he says
it is? Because to me, and I said, just yesterday,
the story wasn't adding up. I wasn't trying to cast
doubt on the brother's story, even though his story sounded
like it had bacterial vaginosius. Okay, well whatever, it just
(03:05):
sounded fishy, Okay. I was just pointing out the fact
that a job, our job interview shouldn't come before the
safety of your kids.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
A man's job is to protect and provide, and protect
comes before provision for a reason. To me, when I
heard the story, it didn't make sense. These kids were
left alone for an hour and a half. What job
interview last that long? And witnesses said they kept seeing
Chris walk back and forth? What job interview? Lets you
just keep walking back and forth? Oh, Charlemagne, you don't
have no empathy, Charlemane, you're speaking from a place of privilege. No,
(03:33):
I'm speaking from a place of common sense. And common
sense ain't that common in this modern era. So today
we have an update from the same outlet that I
got the story from, the Augusta Press. The Richmond County
Authorities released a full report Wednesday with more details and
based on the video evidence and the timeline provided by
all parties involved. It was determined that Chris Lewis was
(03:58):
not I repeat, was not engaged and a job interview
our application process during the time the children were left unattended.
He was not really looking for a job while the
children were at McDonald's. Can I give you some details
from the police report and the noted inconsistencies Captain Danny
Whitehead noted in regards to the whereabouts of Chris while
his children were left attended.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Okay, let's start with the ten year old. You know,
the kid's gonna tell it, Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
She told offices that her siblings and her father walked
to McDonald's from the Hendricks apartment complex. She said her
daddy told her he had to deliver a backpack to
the apartment complex and told her he would return shortly.
The child also mentioned that her father, Chris, frequently leaves
them alone. Two witnesses said they recalled hearing Chris on
(04:45):
the phone with someone and he was overheard saying he
needed to drop something off. The witnesses stated that after this,
the father left McDonald's, leaving the children behind for approximately
an hour and a half. The ten year old daughter
contacted her mother on social media at approximately six pm.
The mother arrived at McDonald's at six twelve pm. She
(05:06):
advised that Chris was supposed to deliver a backpack to
her mother at the Hendrick's apartments and had been told
that he must take the children with him. The kid's
mother immediately called Chris, who answered and stated that he
was on the way back to McDonald's from the apartment complex.
Chris arrived at six eighteen pm, still in possession of
the backpack, and he told his child's mother that he
(05:28):
had been trying to find her to give her the backpack,
and the children's mother reminded him that he was not supposed.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
To leave the children unattended. Don't go refunding your money
from gofund me. Now listen to the rest now.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Chris claimed he left the kids at McDonald's because he
went to fill out a job application at the West
Bank d which is located adjacent to the McDonald's, and
he was waiting for a callback for a possible interview.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
He said he.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Left to drop the backpack off at the apartment complex,
but during the time, he lost his ID and he
lost another card and he had been retracing his steps
trying to find them. Oh, you can feel the niggatree
in this story rising. So Captain Whitehead went to the
West Bank End to verify Chris's story. He spoke to
the manager and she confirmed that Chris did come in
(06:18):
on March twenty second, and he did complete a job application.
She also conducted an informal interview with him on that date.
When asked if Chris would be expecting a callback for
a formal interview, she said no. The manager provided video
surveillance footage of when Chris was there.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Guess what the times were?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
What were the times one twelve pm to one thirty
seven pm. The kids were left on attended at McDonald's
from four thirty pm to six twelve pm.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So, as I said.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Before, based on the video evidence and the timeline provided
by all parties involved, Chris was not engaged and the
job interview when he left the kids at McDonald's. Furthermore,
by his own admission, he was walking between McDonald's in
the apartment complex, you know, during that period, and the
distance between the two locations is zero point four miles. Now,
don't let any of that distract you from the fact that, regardless.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Of what Chris was doing, during this time.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You don't jeopardize your child safety in the pursuit of employment.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Are anything else because there is no job? Are anything
else you could be doing that would make up.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
For something happening to your child when you leave them
unattended for an hour and a half in a public place.
I'm just doubling down on donkey today. You can discuss
amongst yourselves. Please leting me Ma give Chris Lewis the
biggest he hull.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Hee ha he ha, You stupid mother? Are you dumb thoughts?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I knew it. I knew it, and everybody's up here. No,
I don't think the brothers should get you know he s.
Just block him up, slap him on the wrist and
let him go because he was trying to do something.
He was out here serving scrambled coke and smack you
you walking back and forth and all of that into
it day care, Like what's talll with you?
Speaker 5 (07:57):
See, you can't change the gold post. Charla moved the
goals and you can't change it either. See Charlemagne reported
exactly what happened, and that's what we made a decision
based off what he said. Now, if Charlemagne didn't give
the right information a couple of days ago, because a
couple of days ago, Charlomagne said this man was doing
a job again, a job.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Application or did he not say that? Now changed?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
It is based on what you You're not going to
distract You're not going to distract me. I get what
did I just finished saying, because you know my don't listen.
I said, don't let any of that distract you from
the fact that, regardless of what Chris was doing during
this time, you don't jeopardize your child's safety and the
pursuit of employment or anything else. I gave him donkey
of the day for leaving the kids unattended at a
(08:43):
McDonald's for an hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I don't give a damn what he was doing, agreed, I.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Said, I agree he should get donkey of the day,
but if he was actually going to a job interview,
it was not doing no f ish.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I didn't think he was doing.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You don't leave your children unattended, and I said, after
child's mom said, the child's mom said, just you don't
leave your kids unattended an hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And that's why I gave him.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I just didn't feel he should have got arrested if
he was really gidding.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yourself accountable for not reading Nigga Tree the right way.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
And then I did, and also I spotted it. I
smelled the Nigga Tree a long time.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Aday. When you said your baby daddy would do.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Something like that, I never said that in my life,
never ever ever wave the kids with a random girl
that he didn't know for three days. But he's not
gonna leave his kids in a public place and let
alone a McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
That's crazy to leave them the kids alone for with
a random girl for three days.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It is crazy, absolutely, But it beats leaving them in
a fast restaurant at Yeah, it is kind.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Of McDonald's might be Yeah, McDonald might be worse because
at least you got somebody watching the kid. You don't
know what the person might do to the kids, because
but you at least somebody's watching them and just leaving.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Them on attended to McDonald's for hour and a half,
that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
It's crazy. And the lord ten year old baby girl,
she said, my dad do this all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Like I already knew what that was. She getting tired of.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Being a parent at McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
All right, once again, you don't jeopardize your child's safety
and the pursuit of employment are anything else, There's no
reason to leave your ten year old, six year old
and one year old unattended at the damn McDonald's for
hour and a half. Donkey of Today is sponsored by
