A white couple whose black babysitter was followed by a white woman who called police said an officer was apologetic and embarrassed on the phone as he checked the shocked man’s account, according to a report.

“We were at dinner, and I saw that Mr. (Corey) Lewis had called,” Dana Mango of suburban Atlanta, who was with David Parker, told “Good Morning America” on Wednesday.

“I called back and a police officer answered the phone. The police officer was trying to explain that he was there with my kids and that they were OK, but he wanted to confirm that I had given permission to Mr. Lewis to be with them,” she said.

“It truly took me several minutes to believe that it was real. I was just in a state of disbelief,” Mango added.

Lewis, who runs a youth-mentoring program in Atlanta, used Facebook Live to film his interaction with the Cobb County cop who responded to the woman’s 911 call about the girl and boy, ages 6 and 10, on Sunday.

“She pulled up to my vehicle and asked if the kids were all right,” said Lewis, who joined the couple toward the end of the “GMA” interview. “I responded with, ‘Why wouldn’t they be?'”

“She then said, ‘Things look weird,’ and then she drove off,” Lewis said, adding that he realized she followed them back to their home.

“The officer was actually apologetic,” Mango told “GMA.” “I think he was embarrassed. He saw what was happening pretty quickly, and after he spoke to me and confirmed that everything was all right, he let them go.”

Mango said the children, Addison and Nicholas, were afraid for their sitter while he was being questioned.

“They said they were scared that they would say the wrong thing and cause him to get arrested,” Mango said. “After this ordeal on Sunday night, the first thing the kids asked was, ‘When can he come babysit us again.’”

She said Lewis has picked up her son from school every day for two years and babysat until the parents returned from work.

Lewis “had to go to a wedding for a week, and every day Nicholas asked when he was coming back,” Mango said.
