CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - A 4-year-old boy is back home with his mother, after allegedly stealing the neighbors presents from under the tree.
Hayden Wright, of Chattanooga Tennessee, was found with a beer in his hand 1:45 a.m. Tuesday, wandering the streets of his neighborhood.
Police say, he was wearing a little girl's dress and drinking a beer. Hayden was taken to the hospital and treated for alcohol consumption.
April Wright, the child's mother, is going through a divorce with her husband who is in jail. She says she is not sure how her 4-year-old managed to get out of the house, open a beer, and steal the neighbors presents from under their tree.
Wright said, "My biggest concern was him being out there, getting kidnapped, getting run over, the alcohol, having to have his stomach pumped."
She says she woke up that night just before 2 a.m and panicked when she found Hayden was gone. She says she put safety devices on all the doors so her kids couldn't get out, but Hayden was able to break the safety device off the doorknob and get outside.
Once out, Wright says her four year old followed his father's footsteps.
"He runs away trying to find his father," she said. "He wants to get in trouble so he can go to jail because that's where his daddy is."
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office report says Hayden rang the doorbell a few houses down and the neighbor answered, finding the child holding a partially consumeed 12-ounce beer.
Wright said, "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."
Police say, Hayden then snuck into a neighbor's house through an unlocked front door, and stole five wrapped Christmas gifts. One was a girl's brown dress which Hayden was wearing when police found him.
Wright did meet with child protective services today who told her she will get to keep custody of Hayden.
