Touching Christmas Tale – A 4-year old Tennessee boy broke into his neighbor’s house, donned a little girl’s dress and drank a beer because he wanted to see his daddy in jail.
Tennessee investigators say the 4-year-old boy was found roaming his neighborhood late at night, drinking beer and wearing a little girl’s dress that had been wrapped as a present under their neighbor’s Christmas tree.
The child’s mother, 21-year-old April Wright, told WTVC-TV that the boy “wants to go to jail because that’s where his daddy is.”
Wright said she and the boy’s father are going though a divorce.
The boy, found outside his house in Chattanooga on Tuesday, was taken to a hospital and treated for alcohol consumption.
Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Janice Atkinson said the incident is being investigated but the department declined to release the report.
The boy’s mother said she met with child protective services and was told she will get to keep custody of her son.
No word on what the boy has planned for next Christmas…
And that’s the latest news on a truly touching Christmas tale.
