So you beautiful bastards, hope you have a fantastic Thursday.

Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show, and let's just jump into it.

And the first thing we're to talk about today is the story around 28-year-old Boguslaw Matlack.

He's a father who was arrested near Chicago in charge with endangering the life of a child.

Now, as far as what happened, all of this started on September 2nd.

Matlack parks his Audi in the fireland outside of a restaurant in Norwich, Illinois, and he yells at his three-year-old son. He yells, you are being bad, and I'm going to

punish you by putting you in the trunk. And sure enough, reportedly on this 89-degree day,

he puts his son in the trunk. And according to witnesses, after putting him there, he then drives off.

Now, the father later in the day ends up getting arrested because he ends up returning back to that same parking lot Following the rest the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services remove the child from his parents custody

They place him with a relative as recording this video the DCFS still has custody of Matlack's son

Father is now facing that one count of misdemeanor child endangerment and he is set to appear in court tomorrow

So the question becomes well is this an open and shut case well it gets weird and I guess unsurprisingly, when you pair it with weird, YouTube.

Mattlack and his wife Laura are claiming the whole thing was a social experiment.

Boguslaw telling local news outlets that he wanted to see if bystanders would intervene.

I would start thinking maybe I should do some video to show people they should do something about it

when they see something wrong to get involved.

Additionally, he's claiming that his son was never really in danger, telling one news outlet that during this quote, social experiment,

the back of the seat was folded open and my wife was in the car and she was just taking him.

And the couple also filmed the entire ordeal on multiple hidden cameras with the help of a friend,

footage that they have now given to NBC5 Chicago.

Some of the footage showing the mother explaining the experiment to her son on camera.

We also see multiple camera angles of the father putting the boy into the trunk, as well as a woman trying to stop him.
