[pickaguitar]

Hayden loves and misses his daddy

[Guitar Heel]

The last sentence kinda says it all. WOW.

[sanhozay]

Christopher Guest be damned, God Bless the people that can deliver this story so straight faced.

[soli528]

April Wright said, "Biggest concern was him being out there, getting kidnapped, getting run over, the alcohol, having to have his stomach pumped."

Which of those was the biggest concern? Maybe she meant those five things collectively. wow.

[GregoryL]

If it wasn't true, it would be hilarious.

[Elmer]

:eek:

Wow. Words fail.

[Bob Maximus]

Sounds like Tennessee to me. I live here.

[flavorengine]

This has all the ingredients of the birth of a country music career.

At least a song.

[cber1517]

Sounds like Tennessee to me. I live here.

Yep. :facepalm

[lpfella]

This story is so sad. I mean, heartbreaking really.

Part of what adds to the heartbreak is this quote from the mother, "He got it out of my father's cooler in the back and how he got it open I don't understand because it was one of those tab beers."

Doesn't the answer to her question lie within her reasoning as to why he would not be able to open the beer?

Oh man. That was a funny line in an otherwise heartbreaking article.

[sanhozay]

Does anyone think that this kid will not grow up to be a burden on the community?

:huh He's four! He gets a lot more passes before the black mark on the soul label gets issued. A dog gets one bite and a four year old kid gets a shitload of WTF moments.

[sanhozay]

Yeah, dirtbag parents are like the new black. I find the story less tragic and a lot more funnier than Home Alone. The good folks raise crappy kids, too. So, I'll guess he'll own a 50/50 chance like we all do.

[Shamus]

Pathetic.. :facepalm

[Frankee]

That's gangster.

I'm putting that kid to work on a street corner.

Hustle like that hardly ever manifests itself so early.

[Marshalls Law]

Just proves again that people should need some credentials and a license to have children.

Freakin pathetic.

[ford]

Best we can hope for is he grows up to be Frank the Tank....

I don't want to think about the worst.....



I like when she says things like " kids do things like this..."

No.... not so much.... kids write on walls with marker...or sneak extra cookies....... maybe they try to drink a beer...

maybe they steal presents... maybe they sneak out... maybe they put on a dress....

the last ones are probably pretty rare for any four year old.. Hayden hit them all in one night.. amazing!

[phoenix 7]

Tragic and hilarious all at the same time. How that newscaster could deliver his lines straightfaced, I have no idea.

[chrisr777]

It's not him, it's these dirtbag parents of his, the kid doesn't have a chance IMHO.


Mother has security devices on all the doors but the kid broke one to get out. Found that the kid was gone before morning. Is the divorcing the father who is in jail. Where do you get that she is a dirt bag???

:huh

[loudboy]

It seems like a pretty straight forward and logical thought process, for a 4YO, to me.

Kid knows Dad got sent to jail for drinking and stealing stuff.

Kid misses Dad.

Kid gets drunk and steals stuff, so he can go see his Dad.

He probably thought the dress looked cool.

A 4YO isn't exactly the most complex creature on the planet...

[cpike]

It's going to go through puberty, reproduce, and years later, worst of all, vote.

He may make it to puberty, and if he does, he WILL reproduce, but become a registered voter? Not in a million years...

[mike80]

Nice to see the holier-than-thou attitudes flying in this thread.


:messedup

[phatdave]

okay Ill start the lyrics jump in and add to it if you want....and keep it country.

Little Johnny got drunk on grandpas liquor
Wandered down the street in the dark.... :rotflmao

[Old Tele man]

...why am I hearing the riff from "DELIVERANCE" in mind over and over and over again???

[padavis]

This is one of those posts where the, "holier-than-thou attitude" comment just does not work. I think most people are fairly justified for thinking this is pretty ridiculous and to be honest I think this should be made fun of. This type of behavior is something I would like to be laughed at as something so out of this world that people would be ashamed to live like this.

[Crowder]

This story is local to me. Heard it on the radio this morning. By tonight, every message board I visit has a thread on it. :rotflmao Not what we need to be known for here in East Tennessee. :D

I thought the same. As a father, the story truly saddened me. What kids will do to be with their parents.

[schmidlin]

I don't understand why she actually did the interview, given the stigma many will assume. I certainly wouldn't have under the circumstances. Are your 15 minutes THAT important?

[isvoid]

Chattanooga, go figure.

[Blueswede]

Just another example of some fine parenting going on.......it's amazing that you have to take a test to get a drivers license, but anyone can be a parent......
