Stealing Christmas Presents
This sums up a parent fail pretty well: “April Wright is 21 years old and 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.”

Yes, “Disgusted,” because we all should expect at all times that our little ones will somehow manage to break a device designed to keep children from opening a door. She should have also locked 3 deadbolts, as well as install a special lock on the door that could only be unlocked from the outside. Then she could lock it from the outside and crawl through the bedroom window.
She could’ve chained him to the bed, too.
It bothers me that the beer was in a cooler, easily accessed, but at 4 he could’ve just opened a fridge door, too.
It’s actually probably a good thing he broke out, because otherwise no one would’ve noticed he was drunk until too late when he died of alcohol poisoning.

amusingly enough, this video was delayed for a beer advertisement.

My son is 3, he’s able to disassemble those child door knob cover things. Chain lock on the doors going to the outside, and a baby gate at the top of our stairs which he can’t undo (yet) *he is good at the stairs just better safe than sorry*
THAT is what we do to prevent our kid from escaping and wandering.
And oh…Canadian here: Bud light? That kid was totally safe from alcohol poisoning. Bud Light is almost water

Its really sad and i understand why. but trying to keep you child in isant always easy and you can do the best you can. chain locks dont wor when a child can just push a chair or somethig under it and open the lock. i have gone to extreams to keem my child in the house from “running off” i have had to install locks alarms and baby gates to all windows and doors yes i have baby gates in my windows. the point is i spend as much of my time as i can watchng him. i am a single parent and i do also have another older child but that does not negate the fact that unfortunatly smetme bad things happens. my heart go”s out to this mother. a small boy that size will emulate there fathers to try to get there attention and love when there absent. my boys are proof of that. also youhveto think are there any medical issues that make he child a bit harder to deal with. like A.D.H.D. and O.D.D.
