A black baby sitter in Georgia has claimed cops were called on him over the fact that he had two white children in his care.
Corey Lewis said he was in the parking lot of a Cobb County Walmart Sunday when he noticed a white woman watching him and the two children, ages 6 and 10, whom he was baby-sitting.
“She pulls around to the car and she asks, ‘Are the kids alright?’ I said, ‘Why wouldn’t they be?’” Lewis told InsideEdition.com. “She gave a shoulder shrug. She left and then she came back … and said, ‘Can I speak to the little girl and ask her if she knows who you are?’ I said, 'No.'"
He said the unidentified woman then informed him she was going to take down his license plate number.
Lewis said he thought the encounter was over until he went to a nearby gas station and noticed the woman was following him. That’s when he began recording on Facebook Live.
The woman allegedly followed Lewis home and apparently called police. In a video shared of the moment, a police officer questions the children about how they know Lewis.
While Lewis understands the officer was just doing his job, he was emotional about the situation.
“This random lady is trying to assassinate my character based off her assumptions and judgments,” Lewis said.
Lewis, who works with children, was baby-sitting one of the children involved in his after-school program, “Inspired by Lewis” and the child’s sister.
The children’s parents were not pleased when they heard what happened and said Lewis was only questioned because he was driving around two white children.
“B-W-B is the new thing, baby-sitting while black,” David Parker, the children’s father, told WSMV.
Walmart did not respond to InsideEdition.com’s request for comment.

Perhaps he was acting suspicious as well, at least in the woman's opinion.
This might be an example where we as conservatives should recognize bad behavior. Sure seems like racism going on here.
When the woman followed me to the gas station I would have called the police and reported her as stalking and possible child abduction.
Was it lindsay Lohan?
All he had to do was let the white lady talk to the kids, but evidently he was a racist.
Who leaves their kids with a male baby sitter?

And at that time, I too thought Lewis was fishing for a fake hate crime angle
But if this is true....
“She pulls around to the car and she asks, ‘Are the kids alright?’ I said, ‘Why wouldn’t they be?’” Lewis told InsideEdition.com. “She gave a shoulder shrug. She left and then she came back … and said, ‘Can I speak to the little girl and ask her if she knows who you are?’ I said, 'No.'"
then yeah. She is friggin nuts and he had every right to be upset.
Consider it is Georgia, and the white folk have not moved up in processing things. I remember being the only white sitting in a mall, and I too felt uneasy. Being white, and having a mixed marriage as a daughter, and a full black little girl, we get some stares. I was moved deeply in East Dallas in a negro neighborhood and an older lady spoke to me when leaving the restaurant. THANKS FOR TAKING CARE OF THE WORLD. We really ARE our brothers keepers. I have a very blended family, Filipinos, Hispanic, Black and Asian.
If you’re babysitting kids, do you let strangers who accost you talk to them?
Can't really say unless we know how the conversation went, and how he reacted. He might have made her more suspicious by his reaction, justified or not.
Role reversal time.
Would YOU let some black guy demand to upset YOUR kids?
No? Then you’re a racist.
I wouldn’t chalk this up to racism - the guy and the parents are full of hyperbole and hysterics.
Would we be claiming racism if she had followed a white male with red hark around with 2 children with brown hair?
Maybe this was an overreaction.
But people should consider that better to say something and have it turn out to be no problem, rather than the other way around that someone notices something suspicious, ignores it and children get hurt.
Not if you want to get the chance to be a national victim on TV.
White people racists. Black people victims.
SOS.
Your sexism is showing.
Have you never watched/babysat someone’s elses kids before? Sure you have.
We don’t know if he was acting in any way suspicious, besides his not likely being the kids’ father, at least in her judgement.
Racism, Stupidity and Paranoia thanks to a Hysterical Society that believes the Liberal Media Lies.
They were probably delivering them to Hillary for lunch.
The racist saw a white cracker and a chance to become a famous victim.
That’s how I see it.
