A black youth mentor who was babysitting the children of white family
friends was questioned by Georgia police this weekend after a white
woman called 911 after seeing him with the kids.
A spokesman for the Cobb County Police Department
confirmed one of their officers pulled Corey Lewis’ car over Sunday
afternoon in response to a call. The spokesman did not have information
on details of the incident, but Lewis documented the encounter on
Facebook Live.
He also captured footage of the woman after she confronted him and
the two children in a Walmart parking lot, asking the children if they
needed help. The woman’s identity is not known.
Lewis told CBS46 the woman threatened to report his license plate number to the authorities when they brushed her off after she confronted them.
The babysitter kept filming as the woman followed him in her car for nearly an hour.
Lewis told CBS46 the woman followed him home, and that a Cobb County officer arrived moments later.
In the footage, the officer can be seen questioning
the children, who according to CB46 are 10 and 6. The officer then
called the parents of the children — who told CBS46 they were shocked by
the situation.
“I said, ‘Are you saying that because there’s an
African American male driving my two white kids, that he was stopped and
pulled over and questioned?’ and he said, ‘I’m sorry ma’am, that’s
exactly what I’m saying,” the mother told the station.

Without a doubt this woman should be charged with some form of harassment. I'm glad he got it all on video. It's really sad but not surprising.
