Drew Carey's 11-year-old son may be in big trouble.
Connor Carey is reportedly the young protester in a Fox News video of an inauguration rally where protesters were seen burning signs.
The 11-year-old, who identifies himself as Connor, told Fox News' Griff Jenkins he "kind of started this fire" because "I felt like it and because I'm just saying 'screw our president.'"
TMZ reported the child in the video is Drew Carey's son. A rep for the TV star could not immediately verify Carey's son is the child in the video, but a picture of the comedian with his son on Carey's Instagram account appears to show the same child in the video.
Drew Carey participated in the inauguration in a very different way from his son. The 58-year-old emceed the Veterans Inaugural Ball: Salute to Heroes hosted by The American Legion on Jan. 20.
The "Price is Right" host did not seem to be aware of his son's participation in the protest that night. TMZ caught up with him and he told the gossip site he was "just having dinner with my kid down the street" and wanted to see the protest.
A source told TMZ that Connor Carey "regretted his words" after speaking with his parents, who were upset with their son's actions.

“If Drew isn’t to be blamed when why was the little punk out in the street lighting fires? The kid needs a spanking on his well padded buttocks, all his tech stuff taken away and given lots of chores for the next six months. No going to friends’ and no friends over to the house. If he is a bad seed, the Careys have the $$$$ for military school.”
Not his son. Hasn’t been with the mother since 2012.
criminal? She’s been arrested and convicted of something? Or are you accusing her of being a criminal based on a ‘woman handing a kid a lighter’ from a video before any of the facts about who the woman was? If the kid is under his care- He’s a father figure- The article pointed out that he was upset upon learning what happened- I’ll wait for the rest of the story before jumping to conclusions
What’s with all the Drew Carey bashing on this thread? He’s one of the few in Hollywood who is pretty conservative...and not afraid who knows it. I remember that he took part in the inaugural festivities for George W. Bush, too.
As far as the kid goes, I don’t think Drew Carey would be the first person in the world to have his or her child do something stupid and mortifying. If even Ronald Reagan’s and Sarah Palin’s own kids have done some very embarrassing things, why is anyone on this thread getting upset about this idiotic 11-year-old who is apparently not even Drew Carey’s biological son? Sheesh.

WOW! You need a course in reading comprehension!
no i don’t- didn’t see anything about the girlfriend being a criminal in the article- The kid has also taken Carey’s last name-

My reading comprehension powers are just fine thanks-

Drew is NOT the father!
what does that have to do with anything- a parent is a guardian- whether the child is still with the mother or not- You seem obsessed with the fact that Drew isn’t the biological father- Which has absolutely nothing to do with the article=- so not even sure why the obsession over it? Drew is caring for the child in the role of parent and father- a parent is:
Definition of parent
1 b : a person who brings up and cares for another
Parent:
2: a person acting as a father or mother; guardian
Father Definitions:
-——Foster father – child is raised by a man who is not the biological or adoptive father usually as part of a couple.
-——Mother’s partner – assumption that current partner fills father role
-——Social father – where a man takes de facto responsibility for a child,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father
Drew carey is actively acting as the child’s father- helping to raise him taking on the responsibility- While Drew isn’t the kid’s biological father- He fills both roles of parent and father-
Not even sure what the quibbling about terms is- but legally- parent can and does mean a figure who cares for- even for a short time- in unmarried situations, as you will see at the end here-
Non-Biological Fathers’ Rights
“Courts also take into account the relationship between children and non-biological fathers when it comes to child support cases. If a man has not formally adopted a child but has acted as a parent and financially supported the child in the past, he may be ordered to pay child support in the event that he and the child’s biological mother or legal guardian divorce or separate. “
http://legalbeagle.com/6326184-nonbiological-fathers-rights.html
“In a landmark ruling for non-traditional families in New York, the state’s highest court on Tuesday held a person need not have a biological or adoptive relationship with a child to be considered a parent.
The second case involved an unmarried same-sex couple who had a child before splitting up. The biological mother sought child support from her former partner. The court granted her request but also allowed a visitation petition by the child’s non-biological mother, ruling it would be inconsistent to consider the latter a parent only for purposes of paying support.”

Note the lesbians were not married- the one woman was the biological mother artificially inseminated of course- the courts ruled the non biological woman was still the child’s parent even though the two women had never been married-
How embarrassing for Drew Carey and family. I hope the kid wakes up. He’s only 11.
Except, what was the kid doing out in the middle of the rioting area? Did he just get there on his own? Did his parents tell him to go play in the street? Kids do stupid things, that’s for sure.
Saw this earlier today. What was Drew Carey doing during his son’s antics? He was being interviewed by TMZ at that exact time.
From the looks of this, the source of the brat’s delinquency DID come from the home-and mostly from his ‘father figure’:
