ATL Father Arrested For Leaving His Kids At Mickey D’s” While He Went On A Job Interview: Was He Wrong or Nah?? [VIDEO]

We are living in some unprecedented times, the pay raises and stimulus checks that was supposed to relieve struggling Americans following the COVID-19 pandemic is being taken back by higher living expenses, higher grocery bills, for some much higher car payments and the cost of child care is unreal.   As we are seeing the government taking away jobs, the trickle down affect is jobs are not a dime a dozen any longer (well at least, ones that can support your family), things are getting scary.   So, what do you do as a father, if you are just trying to get ahead, while keeping your head above water?  

Hence the huge social media debate about a father who left his children at Mickey D’s, while he went on a job interview.

An Atlanta father, identified as 24 year old Chris Louis has been arrested for leaving his three children, ages one, six and ten at a McDonald’s with a playground inside of it, while he went on a job interview.  Someone at the restaurant noticed that the children didn’t have an adult with them and called the police.  When Louis returned to retrieve his children the police detained him.

According to a report police say Chris Louis opened up about being on the hunt for a job. Apparently, he and the children live in an apartment near the McDonald’s. They had all walked over to the fast-food joint together because he doesn’t own a car. He opted to let them chill at the restaurant while attending a nearby job interview because he allegedly didn’t want to make them walk home alone.   Louis was arrested and is being charged with deprivation of a minor.  But before police took Chris Louis in to custody, his babies mama pulled up to the McDonald’s and picked up the kids.

So many questions….take a look below then tell us how you feel.
