Houston Alexander: ... says "Check yo' kids."Houston Alexander: KO Machine, Good Samaritan

Houston Alexander reportedly came to the aid of a child last week who’d been left alone in an unlocked car, according to NBC Affiliate station WOWT-TV in Omaha, Nebraska.

Alexander reportedly discovered the child alone and crying while left in an unlocked Chevy Lumina in Midtown, near the intersection of 44th and Center. Houston boldly took to the aid of the child, leading her on a search for her mother.

Their search took them into a nearby dialysis center, where the little girl didn’t recognize anyone there. However, their next stop, a plasma donation center, revealed the location of the estranged mother.

The mother, whose name has been withheld, claims that her cousin should have been watching her daughter. However, the cousin was also found in the plasma donation center, and officers determined that both had been donating plasma while the little girl waiting in the car, unattended to.

The child’s mother was cited for child neglect, and Child Protective Services was notified. Most likely in an attempt to spare her the public ridicule and embarrassment of such an irresponsible act, WOWT-TV has elected not to name the mother specifically.

Houston has recently seen some celebrity outside of the octagon, recently appearing on the TV series Sports Science, where he could be surveyed conducting a series of tests meant to gauge a human being’s strength under the influence of adrenaline. His last three showings in the UFC haven’t been as “Hollywood”, so to speak, as three consecutive losses have him looking for a fourth any way he can get it.

Recently, he pulled out of a scheduled bout with Andre Gusmao at UFC 98 on May 23, due to a broken hand.

Houston, a remarkable example of a father, bears the surgical scar on his stomach that came as a result of donating a kidney to his daughter in a life-saving effort nine years ago. He’ll be damned if you’re going to leave your kid in the car while you’re up in some ‘hood donating plasma because you’re broke, and ghetto.

There’s just no way to make an honest argument on behalf of this child’s mother here. Give it a shot, go for it.

Put yourself in the crack-addicted, plasma-donating, welfare-collecting shoes of the mother who left her kid in the car while she was in there making her $45. Granted, there are more deplorable ways to go about making a quick fifty-spot, but this was Omaha, Nebraska, not Vegas. Said cousin’s probably as hard-up for fix money as baby’s mama was.

While we can only speculate humorously on the depth and detail that went into the planned-out antics of the Crack-Pipe Family on this day, justice was served in not only an issued statement to the child welfare departments in their regional area, but also that a light-heavyweight knock-out machine with a soft spot in his heart for kids got to approach a neglectful mother with her kid in his hands.

Imagine the look on her face. It’s funny whichever way you think about it: in the event that her felon boyfriend makes her serve him and his felon friends alcohol as they watch UFC pay-per-views, she may have seen his fight with Alessio Sakara.

Even then, let’s just say that’s not the case. I can’t imagine having this guy walk into a plasma donation center with the kid you’d just left in the car is what you want to collect alongside your $45.
