Even if he was next door, unless he told someone there to keep an eye on his kids, he fucked up. If I see a kid out younger than 10 years old I'm wondering where their parent is( in my state, 10 is the minimum age a kid can be left home alone and 13 is the minimum to supervise other children). Also, this was at a store, not a public playground where you could assume the kid lived nearby and was used to being there unattended. But a 6 year old and 1 year old? SMH
Damn dawg. They might take the kids.
Haven't you heard? We're in a rent everything economy now and leaving kids somewhere safe for free violates that. He's supposed to pay $100 per child for a couple of hours of babysitting.
I can understand why they called the cops but homie could of maybe tried to talk to one of the workers about keeping an eye on the kids while he was nextdoor conducting business,if possible because now a days you see some kids by themselves you always have to think the worse because it might be.
the cops on the scene should of just warned him and let him go because it wasn't nothing serious and it was better leaving them there than inside of a car....shame on the pig'lices for this bullshit case taking up more space in the system.

I don't want to be a hypocrite. He was wrong to leave them alone PERIOD
This is T.rump America 2025 you just can't do that. (any public library would have been a better safer option while also not ideal)
However... I understand.
Its the 1 year old that makes it so problematic to me. Too many things could have gone wrong.
But again I understand.
I just wish he had a better option. Honestly?
I would have went to the interview with them kids said there was a family emergency and see if you could do it right there, reschedule or via zoom.

yes. She came to pick up the kids after he was arrested.
She should have had them while he did the interview.
Props to the brother for trying to survive this NWO and global shitshow.

I hope he actually gets the money.
Its sad he had to arrested before the community could help him.
We need existing support systems in our communities to support these families.
And the Pimple in Chief right now is cutting all the programs left and right.
I asked the same question but I don't want to make assumptions. I don't know HER situation, she could have been working herself and couldn't get time off. We shouldn't just assume she was at fault.

The Augusta Press’ viral story on the arrest of Chris Louis for leaving three kids at a local McDonald’s to go job hunting has sparked debate and sympathy across the country.On Wednesday, in response to an outcry of requests from local and national media, Richmond County authorities released a full report Wednesday with more details into their investigation, saying that the father was not really looking for a job while the children were at McDonald’s. But he had been job hunting earlier that day.
Louis, a 24-year-old father from Augusta, Georgia, was arrested on March 22 after leaving his three children—ages 10, 6, and 1—at a McDonald’s with a playground , telling deputies that he was attending a job interview nearby. Louis, who did not have a car, walked his children to the McDonald’s and felt it was a safer place to leave them for the short time he would be at the interview. After he returned to pick them up, a customer at the McDonald’s called the police, and Louis was arrested and charged with “deprivation of a minor.”
Capt. Danny Whitehead conducted a follow-up investigation and “noted inconsistencies regarding the whereabouts” of Louis during the period when the children were left unattended at the restaurant.
The 10-year-old child told officers that she, her father and her two siblings had walked to McDonald’s from The Hendrix Apartments. She said left to deliver a backpack to The Hendrix Apartments and told her he would return shortly. The child also mentioned that her father frequently left them alone.
Two witnesses both reported arriving at the restaurant at approximately 4:30 p.m. Saturday and observing the children there without adult supervision. They recalled that the father was on the phone with someone and was overheard saying he needed to “drop something off.” The witnesses stated that after this, the father left McDonald’s, leaving the children behind. They estimated the children were alone for approximately an hour and a half.
The 10-year-old daughter contacted her mother on social media at approximately 6 p.m.. The mother, Lissette Pichardo, arrived at McDonald’s at approximately 6:12 p.m.
“She advised that Mr. Louis was supposed to deliver a backpack to her mother at The Hendrix Apartments and had been told that he must take the children with him,” a sheriff’s report says. “Pichardo immediately called Mr. Louis, who answered and stated that he was on his way back to McDonald’s from The Hendrix.”
Louis arrived at McDonald’s at approximately 6:18 p.m., still in possession of the backpack. He told Pichardo that he had been trying to find her to give her the backpack. She reminded him that he was not supposed to leave the children unattended.
Louis claimed he and the children were at McDonald’s earlier that day because he had filled out a job application at the West Bank Inn, located adjacent to McDonald’s, and was waiting for a callback for a possible interview. He said he left to deliver the backpack to The Hendrix, but during that time, he lost his ID and another card and had been retracing his steps to find them.
To verify this, Capt. Whitehead visited the West Bank Inn and spoke with the manager. She confirmed that Louis came in on March 22 and completed a job application. She also conducted an informal interview with him on that date. When asked if Louis would be expecting a callback for a formal interview, she stated no. The manager provided video surveillance footage showing Louis arriving at 1:12 p.m. and leaving at 1:37 p.m. on March 22.
Based on the video evidence and the timeline provided by all parties involved, it was determined that Louis was not engaged in a job interview or application process during the time the children were left unattended.
“Furthermore, by his own admission, he was walking between McDonald’s and The Hendrix Apartments on foot during that period,” a report says. “The distance between these two locations is approximately 0.4 miles.”
It was determined that a misdemeanor charge of deprivation of a minor was appropriate to ensure the welfare of the children and facilitate a review of the matter by the court, the sheriff’s office said. This charge ensures that all parties have an opportunity to appear before a judge to determine if the children are receiving appropriate care.
Louis’ arrest has sparked widespread public outcry nationwide, with many arguing that he should not be criminally charged for trying to provide for his family. The case has garnered attention from people on both sides of the political spectrum, with former NFL player Antonio Brown, setting up a GoFundMe campaign to help Louis. The campaign has raised over $39,000, with contributions coming from people who sympathize with Louis’ situation and believe the system unfairly punishes those in poverty.
Many supporters have expressed frustration over the cost of living and the challenges faced by low-income families. The story went viral on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), drawing attention to the broader issue of poverty and the difficulties of escaping it in the U.S.

thank you for the follow up.
Can't excuse leaving a one year old. That's unnaceptable. Not even with the other kids. They not old enough
A one year old, bruh.
A 10 year old can babysit. If he left the kids to go smoke with the boys is one thing but he was only gone for a little while to do an interview, the cops could have used discretion and give him a warning.
If he left them at the house, that's one thing. He left them at McDonald's. You can't leave a 10 year old at McDonald's. That was dumb as fuck and no different than going off to gamble.
In his mind: Maybe risky, but it's worth it if it pays off.
I didn’t say anyone was at fault. I only implied that if she could respond that quickly then she should have had them to begin with. It’s not a blame game because you were correct in saying we don’t know. She could have been at work, but if she was at the salon instead….
The dumbing down of society continues.. at 10 yrs old I had my own set of keys to the crib, a bus/train pass and was riding public transportation by myself home from school, cooking, washing my own clothes, changing diapers, warming up bottles, etc.. the fact ole boy couldn’t leave the kids in the crib by themselves Says a lot bout modern day society
bro it seems there is MUCH more to the story and it aint looking good for that man.
Sounds like a mess
