Toddler points out hiding spot of fugitive to Kentucky police

A toddler in Williamsburg, Kentucky, was praised by law enforcement after the child helped officers locate a fugitive while serving multiple outstanding warrants on the suspect on Friday.

Deputies with the Whitley County Sheriff’s Department are calling the toddler “very brave and honest” for assisting in the arrest after none of the adults at the residence would say whether the fugitive was in the home, police reported.

“It is good to be honest … we shouldn’t lie,” the unnamed small child told officers before pointing out where the suspect was hiding.

Little Children, by Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas

Little children, you better not tell on me
I'm tellin' you little children, you better not tell what you see
And if you're good, I'll give you candy and a quarter
If you're quiet like you oughta be and keep a secret with me

I wish they would go away, little children
Now why ain't you playin' outside? I'm askin' you
You can't fool me 'cause I'm gonna know if you hide
And try to peek, I'm gonna treat you to a movie
Stop your gigglin', children do be nice like little sugars and spice

You saw me kissin' your sister
You saw me holdin' her hand
But if you snitch to your mother
Your father won't understand

I wish they would take a nap, little children
Now why don't you go bye-bye? Go anywhere at all
Little children, I know you would go if you tried
Go up the stairs, me and your sister, we're goin' steady
How can I kiss her when I'm ready to with little children like you around?
I wonder what can I do around little children like you

So the toddler basically sold out uncle Bob, and that makes them a hero?

I recall being part of a vaguely similar situation as a youngster. Back in the early 1960s our community sent out tax assessors once per year to survey private homes to determine if all items considered taxable were on the records. On one such visit to our house I remember the assessor asking things like "do you have a washer and dryer?" And my dad answering "No". To which I would proudly volunteer my useful expertise "Oh daddy, mommy has a washer in the basement". There were a number of similar "opportunities" for me to flaunt my talent.

Surprised they never left me at a gas station, or something?

That is something we've known for lifetimes...the children bcome sadly adults and the screwups begin. The coggers running the world are NOT children, are they. They are taught MONEY MONEY MONEY......

Just heard a comment about todays young ones, and how they are NOT fit for military, I'm anti war, but the couch potatoes and their finger exercises/training....
