Police called on black man babysitting white children

[Reverse Giraffe]

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — A white woman who spotted a black man babysitting two white children called police and then followed them home in Georgia.

WGCL-TV reported Tuesday that the woman stopped Corey Lewis outside a Cobb County Walmart and asked to speak to the kids. He refused, so she called police and followed them to his home.

An officer arrived and questioned the children, ages 6 and 10, and called their parents, David Parker and Dana Mango. The couple says Lewis is a family friend and their son attends his youth program.

An officer arrived and questioned the children, ages 6 and 10, and called their parents, David Parker and Dana Mango. The couple says Lewis is a family friend and their son attends his youth program.

Mango says the officer told her Lewis was questioned because he's a black man driving around with two white children.


Parker said he guesses "B-W-B is the new thing, babysitting while black."

The police officer in question:

This is some racist shit that happened to that guy, but on top of that, guys in general get the side eye from random people when taking care of kids. There's always those people that assume a guy taking care of a child is a pedophile or a kidnapper without thinking of a single dad or family friend first.

 

[APOEERA]

The police officer had a look on his face from the cellphone video like "WTF am I supposed to do?" when the children told him that yes, we know this guy.

 

[Tahnit]

Jesus Christ people mind your own fucking business!

 

[DevilMayGuy]

Fuck people, man. Why can't these racist pieces of shit mind their own business?

 

[Wren Wolfe]

Blatant racism. Jesus Christ

 

[Chromhound]

People need to mind their own business

 

[AtticusFincher]

If the roles were reversed she'd have thought nothing of it. Just a kindhearted adoptive white parent giving 2 black foster kids a better chance in life.

Nope. I've seen it happen before

This happens to parents with their own biological children. Dumb fuck racists who don't understand how genetics works.

 

[JK-Money]

white people....this is getting embarrassing....

 

[Muu]

Crazy lady tries to talk to the kids, rightfully gets denied, stalks them to their home and calls the cops on them. Sounds like a perfectly rational human being.

 

[Chopin the Third]

Well, at least he didn't get shot. People need to mind their own fucking business.

You mean "concerned citizen". There should be fines for this kind of behavior.

It's totally true. My best friend's wife is a nurse and she works weekends sometimes so he ends up taking their 3 year old son out and about if needed. He gets weird glances and comments all the time. One time I was with them in Walmart and this lady came up to us holding her phone out like she was recording us and in a not so subtle way tried to interrogate us as to our relation to the child.

 

[RealTravisty]

Wish the article included her name. It deserves to be out there.

 

[CybilBennett]

Well it was Georgia

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I have never seen this from any other angle only Black adults and white children.

Wish the kids would have told her to fuck right off.

Nope happened to friend of mine in Michigan. He was also detained in cuffs until they got to the bottom of it. This is America

This world

Edit what's with white women always calling the police over a suspicion based off a person being black

The reporter at the end of the video mentions that they're currently investigating to find out exactly who the woman is. She also pointed out that the parents called bullshit on the idea that the woman was looking out for their kids because they never showed any signs of being in danger in the first place.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

While I'm sure being black was a major factor, I'd have to say gender also played a major factor.

You think a white man would have the cops called on him for being with two white children?

My nephews are the same race I am (and look quite a bit like me!), and I've had to deal with bullshit, so I can't even imagine being your situation. :(

No, but a black woman being with two white children would have been less likely to have had the cops called on her.

He should file harrassment charges against her.

Enlighten me to the part of my post in which I stated "being black was not a major factor", please? Did you even read my post?

Yup. One of my close friend's son is like a nephew to me. He's white and his dad isn't in the picture. I take him to the store to buy games and help him with homework often.

I get many side eyes with him in public. Aggravating, really.

Nosiness born of a racist sense of self-righteousness... disturbing and pathetic.

 

[Ramala]

I'm just glad it ended peacefully. There's a reality where this could have been fatal for the babysitter.

 

[DigitalOp]

Give that woman a good samaratin award.

We all know Black Men fiendishly plot to steal white children on a daily basis.

I'm plotting a heist at this very moment.

We had a few threads about this here or at the old place. I remember at least two, one with a white father of two bi-racial children that had the police called on him and another one with a white parent and an asian kid.
