Drunk 4-Year-Old Steals Christmas Presents

When I was going through the news today, this particular headline
caught my eye. I have to admit that it got a laugh out of me at first,
but reading this article, it's not funny at all. So off I went to find
an article in English to post here.

Quote :

April Wright is 21 years old and is going through a divorce with her
husband who is in jail. She says she is not sure how her 4-year-old
managed to get out of the house, open a beer, and steal the neighbors
presents from under their tree. Now she's just glad he's okay and says
she won't let it happen again.

The child, Hayden Wright, was found around 1:45 am Tuesday,
wandering the streets of his neighborhood. In a police reports,
officers said he was wearing a little girl's dress and drinking a beer.
The police report says the child had to be taken to the hospital to be
treated for alcohol consumption.

April Wright said, "Biggest concern was him being out there, getting
kidnapped, getting run over, the alcohol, having to have his stomach
pumped."

Wright says she woke up that night at 1:45 am and panicked when she
found Hayden was gone. She says she put safety devices on all the
doors so her kids couldn't get out, but Hayden was able to break the
safety device off the doorknob and get outside.

Once out, Wright says her four year old followed his father's footsteps and was found on Blue Spruce Road, drinking.
"He runs away trying to find his father," she said. "He wants to get
in trouble so he can go to jail because that's where his daddy is."

Wow...

You know, I'm not sure how to feel about this. Laugh out of the sheer craziness, or feel kinda sad about it. =/

The first paragraph by itself is hilarious but the rest of the story is just sad

It's interesting how situations that seem funny at first can actually have depressing reasons behind them. I hope that kid gets a more normal homelife. At best, this is a story that will be told at Christmas dinner for years to come.

Yeeeah...I couldn't tell if that was because I've been here way too long.
