Homeless young father shamed by nosy woman on social media for sleeping between shifts at McDonald's [View all]

I hope this woman feels like the gum on the bottom of my shoe. What is astonishing is that after she complained to the supervisors and they told her they were OK with him sleeping in the booth, she was not ok with their answer and went ahead and posted the picture on social media. But her evil deed lead to the community rallying to his aid. Americans still care about one another.

A nosy woman not minding her business posted a picture shaming a McDonald’s worker for sleeping in a booth before reporting him to his superiors.

But what Nosy Nancy didn’t know is that the man was getting some shut-eye between shifts since he’s homeless.

Simon Childs says he was hurt that he was put on blast when a woman posted his picture on social media and complained about the sleeping employee at the Fayette County, Georgia fast-food restaurant.

Now the community has rallied behind homeless dad and donations have poured from complete strangers who are giving him clothes for his kid and contributions for him to get a hotel room, WSBTV reports.

“I’ve been going through a hard time with my mom passing,” Childs told the outlet on Monday.

“Everything I do, I want to work for it,” the 21-year-old father said. He’s on his own and raising a young son.

But in just a matter of days, the tables turned in his favor. He came to work and was flooded with support from people donating diapers for his son, clothes and plenty of supplies.
