CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) --
Investigators in Chattanooga 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
The child's mother, 21-year-old April Wright, told WTVC-TV that 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.
The boy, discovered outside his house Tuesday, was taken to a hospital and treated for alcohol consumption.
Hamilton County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Janice Atkinson said the incident is being investigated but the department declined to release the report.
The boy's mother said she met with child protective services and was told she will get to keep custody of her son.
