4-Year-Old Wanders Streets, Drunk, in Drag, Stealing Christmas Presents From Under Neighbor's Tree

Some call it parental neglect.

Gary Busey calls it Top-Drawer Daycare at Cut-Rate Prices.

A 4-year-old boy, beer in hand, is accused of stealing Christmas presents from his neighbors. It's a strange story, but also a sad one.

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 kid actually had to have his stomach pumped so it's got a sad side to it. I mean, a more sad side to it.

Why'd he do it? This is a really sad bit:

The child's mother, 21-year-old April Wright, tells WTVC-TV the boy "wants to go to jail because that's where his daddy is." Wright says she and the boy's father are going though a divorce.

The mother is being investigated by police, but they declined to release their report.

Thanks to several people... sorry, had these stories open since last night.

Another Game of... t-bird:

You notice how they hide the party affiliation of this young Congressperson?
