CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Tennessee investigators say a 4-year-old boy was found roaming his neighborhood in the night, drinking beer and wearing a little girl's dress taken from under a neighbor's Christmas tree.

The child's mother, 21-year-old April Wright, tells WTVC-TV the boy "wants to go to jail because that's where his daddy is." Wright says she and the boy's father are going though a divorce.

You are correct.

We should stick to making bad internet jokes about his parents.

I’d be curious what Dad is in jail for...

One would think that this is an important part of the story.

You mean the boy actually knows who his daddy is?!?

So we’re all your “Trailer Trash” “ping” list, eh?

What, exactly, are you trying to say?

I’m sure that in about 12-14 years he will get his wish.

What do rednecks get thrown in jail for? Watch any episode of “My Name is Earl”.

No. They don’t allow reference books to be checked out.

Steve Goodman, who is Jewish (he also wrote what is arguably the greatest country train song, “The City of New Orleans,”) wrote the first Jewish Country Song. It’s an additional verse to “You Never Even Called Me By My Name.” Here are the lyrics as sung by David Allan Coe:

WELL, A FRIEND OF MINE NAMED STEVE GOODMAN WROTE THAT SONG AND
HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG. I WROTE
HIM BACK A LETTER AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT THE PERFECT COUNTRY
& WESTERN SONG BECAUSE HE HADN’T SAID ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT MAMA,
OR TRAINS, OR TRUCKS, OR PRISON, OR GETTIN’ DRUNK. WELL HE SAT
DOWN AND WROTE ANOTHER VERSE TO THE SONG AND HE SENT IT TO ME,
AND AFTER READING IT, I REALIZED THAT MY FRIEND HAD WRITTEN THE
PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG. AND I FELT OBLIGED TO INCLUDE IT
ON THIS ALBUM. THE LAST VERSE GOES LIKE THIS HERE:

WELL, I WAS DRUNK THE DAY MY MOM GOT OUT OF PRISON
AND I WENT TO PICK HER UP IN THE RAIN
BUT BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE STATION IN MY PICKUP TRUCK
SHE GOT RUNNED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN

OK everyone, no more jokes about a the story of the 4-year-old found roaming his neighborhood at night, while drinking beer and wearing a little girl's dress.

I'll be the first one not to laugh......and to take this seriously...

No laughing!

You heard me.

I expect great things of that boy! This is why our enemies can’t figure us out, we do crazy younger and better. Habib might have a four year old dressed like a suicide bomber holding a AK-47 and think that just shows us how scary crazy they can be, but they have no idea. Heck we give kids plastic guns as soon as they can hold them, that’s not very creative. I want to see any Arab kid put on a stolen dress and march down the road drinking beer looking for their daddy in prison. We are winning the crazy race!

“Somehow I don’t think that some poor grief stricken emotionally distraught 4 year old who is experiencing the destruction of his family is very good fodder for bad internet jokes. But that’s just me.”

I agree entirely. This is tragic.

Heartbreaking.

Utterly devastating!
