A four-year-old boy. Drinking beer. Breaking into a neighbor’s home. Stealing their Christmas presents. While wearing a dress. We’re assured this news report was not produced by the Onion News Network. This is a sad, not a funny story. The boy had to have his stomach pumped. He was found wandering the streets in the cold in the middle of the night. And his mother believes he drank and burglarized the neighbors so he would get into trouble so he would be able to visit his father in prison.

Yeah, I guess it is sad, but I can’t stop laughing. Am I a bad person?
Besides, I can relate. I’ve had a few nights that like myself.
wmcarpenter
It being sad does not preclude it being funny.
Take, for example, grape-stomping lady falling over.
This kid is going to be dangerously smart in adulthood.
romeo
What’s sadly missing here is the look on the responding officers’ faces. LOL
“grape-stomping lady falling over,” yeah, ain’t it the truth. It always seems to come back to Lucille Ball! LOL

I saw that headline and after deciding if I should actually
laugh (I did,a lot) and was tempted to send the link to
Queerty, glad there are others who have a perverted sense
of humor…………
Blythe
Are they sure dat beer wuz “half-drank”?
Pros in action, folks.
Jon
With a father in prison and a hot mess mother it’s surprising that the kid waited until he was 4 to do this.
Mike Fourth
Had he not been wearing a dress, would we be reading this on Queerty?

poor litle boy we should protect him..

Terrwill, I’m disappointed that you have yet to comment on the grossness of his crossdressing. Okay, then, I guess you only hate adult crossdressers. Good to know.
hephaestion
Poor kid. He’s FOUR. Four year olds don’t know what they’re doing or DRINKING. This story was way overblown. I see far more bizarre things done every day at by parents and kids at the public library.
romeo
Hephaestion, are you kidding? LOL

Talk about a Holiday story!
This story is worse than sad. The emotions of anguish and fear of a four year-old are every bit as legitimate and as valid as any adult’s emotions. That this child suffered in his heart such that he did what he did is heart-breaking.
What happened here is not anything like “Kids say the darndest things.” This kid acted with deliberateness and determination to get to see his dad. Nothing silly or funny about that. This story made me tear up as I remembered the great pain I felt driving to the hospital several times a day to visit my dad as cancer was taking him away. That was 23 years ago when I was 27; to face those types of emotions at age four? Wow, what a brave little boy.
I hope that for whatever the father has done (jail and all), the mother and authorities do not deprive this boy the relationship he so obviously wants with his father.

Next story we read on this kid, he’ll be 14 and standing under a lamp-post some night, doing research for Queerty.

I just don’t believe this, at all. I think the mother had some sort of hand in this, although I’m not sure what. A 4 year old gets up in the middle of the night, puts on a dress, opens a beer, leaves his house and then breaks into a neighbor’s house? COME ON!
schlukitz
This kid shows promise. LOL
romeo
@ B SF: you’ve got the sequence wrong. First the kid got drunk, then he broke into the neighbor’s house to steal their presents, and when he noticed that one of the presents was a little girl’s dress his size, he put it on. I believe he then started wandering around the neighborhood.
Saw the mother interviewed on TV. She’s obviously a hot mess as noted above, and I’m sure the father in prison is as well. The boy has been removed to a relatives house. Don’t know if they’re a hot mess as well. For sure, it’s a tragi-comedy, but it looks like the kid’s going to have a colorful life.
romeo
One thing, the father must have some redeeming qualities for the kid to love him so much. Maybe this will help the father to get his shit together. I don’t count on it, but you never know. Wonder what his cellmates thought about the cross-dressing? Yikes.

No. 10 · Kian: Funny one never sees you posting on other matters,You need to change your name to “One Track Kian”….And maybe you are a little foggy from holiday cheer. I do not nor have I ever said I hate trans peeps or cross dressers. What I DO hate is when they:
1- Lie to a person prior to a sexual encounter, by not being truthful as to whether one will find a hole or a pole. Then not being able to understand at all when the person finds the opposite of what they were expecting.
2- When a trans person claims they are “straight” such as Chaz Bono did recently. HShe proclaimed “we are just like any other straight couple”……..Once you make the proclamition that one is “straight” one is therefore no longer Gay. Thus the “T” should be dropped from the “GLBT” moniker.
I don’t see anything hateful about my remakrs……..sorry Kian but you need to stop being so damm sensitive and striking out at ANY critism of the trans community. Just as there are Gays who make asshat moves so does your community………….

Terrwill, I’m sorry but you’re the one who most often posts on trans issues. You’re the one with the problem with trans people. Calling us liars is hate speech. The fact that you can’t wrap your teeny brain around that fact speaks volumes about your ability to understand why I am upset by your words. You have called me a “she”, icky, disgusting, gross. I’m not the one with the problem, you are. I just like to it out.
Kian
Last sentence should read: “I just like to point it out.”

I want everyone to make sure they see that absurd statement that I can’t believe actually came from your twisted little mind. First of all you stated I called you a “she” I have no idea nor do I care to know just what you exactaly are (or are trying to be) dear. And maybe you need to cousult a dictionary to see the definition of the word “liar” Your small mental capacity may prevent you from exercising such a major undertaking, so I have done so for you:
Noun 1. liar – a person who has lied or who lies repeatedly
prevaricator
beguiler, cheater, deceiver, trickster, slicker, cheat – someone who leads you to believe something that is not true
When a trans person leads a person to believe that they in fact have a vagina when in fact they have a fucking penis between their legs they are leading one to believe something that is not true hence THEY ARE A LIAR. And time and time again you REFUSE to acknowledge such behaviour is wrong. ANYTIME a person says anything you percieve as “anti trans” you fly off the freaking handle and start spewing poo from your mouth. And for you to make the claim of “HATE SPEECH” shows what a truly twisted demented little mind that barely inhabits your mostly empty skull. Maybe you need to take some additional hormones to assist you in growing a brain along with either testicles or breasts, whichever you are seeking to grow………….
