Ex-NFL player Antonio Brown established a GoFundMe for a man charged with leaving his kids at McDonald‘s to go on a job interview.
Before heading to the job interview, Chris Louis left his three children to play at a nearby McDonald’s on March 22.
The McDonald’s location in Augusta, Georgia has a play area inside, according to The Augusta Press.
The struggling father, 24, left his children – ages 1, 6, and 10, in the play area around 4:30 PM before going to a job interview.
However, concerned customers notified McDonald’s employees that the children appeared to be abandoned inside the restaurant.
Sheriff’s deputies rounded up the kids and placed them in a squad car while they searched for their father.
Chris Louis returned to the McDonald’s about 2 hours later, and police arrested him for child deprivation.
He explained that he had walked to the restaurant with his children from his apartment on Young Rd. He didn’t want to make the kids walk back to the apartment while he went to the job interview.
The children’s mother arrived at the restaurant and took custody of the children while Louis was transported to jail.
The GoFundMe created by Brown raised over $45,000 for the Louis family.
However, social media users said they doubt the family will receive the money from Brown, who has significant cash flow problems himself.
