5-Year-Old Leaves Day Care, Goes to Hooters


The 5-year-old boy slipped out of his child care center unnoticed Tuesday afternoon, crossed two busy streets and wandered to a restaurant in 100-degree heat according to the Denton Record Chronicle.

Employees of Hooters in Denton, TX found the child safe crossed an Interstate service road, bought a soft drink at a service station and walked to Hooters, where an employee found him in the parking lot and called police.

Deborah Pugh, who owns the child care business, said Wednesday that the boy asked to go to the bathroom and then slipped out a fire exit door, which must, by law, remain unlocked.

I can't say as I blame him, but why get a drink at the service station? He should have wandered into Hooters looking for comfort, hold me close, sit on laps and such.
Do I hear a fantasy? Gotta go.
