CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Tennessee investigators say a 4-year-old boy was found roaming his neighborhood in the night, drinking beer and wearing a little girl's dress taken from under a neighbor's Christmas tree.
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.

Not often I’m at a loss for words.
Not sure which is the greater “crime” here.

“wants to go to jail because that’s where his daddy is.”
Not to worry.
That’s how it usually works out.

My co-worker has a 4 year old with the same name, Hayden.
He thought he had the wild one.

These Tennessee family values are gong to make me cry.
Hamilton County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Janice Atkinson says the incident is being investigated but the department declined to release the report.
Top secret huh?
The boy's mother says she met with child protective services and was told she will get to keep custody of her son.
That's cause she's a good mommy.

It would certainly appear so, wouldn’t it?
I really like that “teaser” on the book cover: “Their love was just just as mobile as their home...”
HILARIOUS! I’m going to have to remember that one. It might even make a good tag-line.

Somehow I don’t think that some poor grief stricken emotionally distraught 4 year old who is experiencing the destruction of his family is very good fodder for bad internet jokes. But that’s just me.

I’d be curious what Dad is in jail for... CMS is reporting it was for roaming his neighborhood at night, drinking beer while wearing a little girl's dresses.
