DailyContributor.com has learned of a very disturbing story. A four-year-old Tennessee lad was found roaming the streets in the wee hours, drinking beer and wearing a little girl’s dress stolen from under a neighbor’s Christmas tree.

The boy’s mother, 21-year-old April Wright, said her son did this so he could be arrested and go to jail to be with his father. She claimed little Hayden had broken through a childproof door to escape her house in Chattanooga.

The youngster was taken to a hospital and had his stomach pumped to remove the alcohol from his system.
