A four-year-old boy got drunk and stole presents from under a neighbour's Christmas tree, his mother said.
Hayden Wright was found wandering his neighborhood in Chatanooga, Tennessee in the middle of the night with a beer in his hand. He was wearing a little girl's dress taken from under his neighbor's tree.
His mother April Wright, 21, woke at 1.45am. and realised he was missing.
She found him outside in the street, drinking a 12-ounce can of beer, she said.
Hayden was taken to hospital and treated for alcohol consumption.
His mother said: "My biggest concern was him being out there, getting kidnapped, getting run over, the alcohol, having to have his stomach pumped."
She said Hayden runs away, trying to find his father, who is in prison. Miss Wright is currently divorcing him.
"He wants to get in trouble so he can go to jail because that's where his Daddy is," she said.
The boy had managed to get through a child-proof door and get a can of beer out of a cooler behind the house, she said.
He then got into the neighbor's house through an unlocked door and stole five Christmas presents.
Giggles asside I find this really sad,
The child needs contact of some form with his dad & his mother should realise if he is going to the extreams he is to be with his dad that she cannot just pretend he never happened.
It's not always black and white tho eh? What did his dad go to prison for, is he a danger to the boy? The mum may have valid reasons for not letting the lad see his dad, maybe the lad gets MORE upset having to leave when visiting is over so she's trying to prevent him being hurt more.
