And You Thought YOUR Kids Were A Handful!

Terror Tot Sparks Helo Search... One Day After Sparking House Fire

One crafty four-year-old boy sparked a massive search in England this weekend, as his clever hiding place led to more than 100 people -- and even a police helicopter -- trying to "seek" him out.

It all started when the boy, Jordan, thought it would be a great idea to hide under his stepfather's 4x4 Saturday night. Well, it worked, as no one could find the precocious tot... leading his mother and stepdad to call the police, after they couldn't find him.

That, in turn, led to search parties being sent out for the boy on the ground... while the police helicopter searched from overhead, using an infrared camera.

So where in the world was Jordan? Low and behold, he was eventually found under the vehicle.

Alas, this isn't the first time Jordan has caused his parents grief -- in fact, it wasn't even the first time in the past 48 hours. The Weston Mercury reports the day before, Jordan had set fire to the upstairs of his house, after playing with a lighter he found in the park.

The damage from the blaze forced his newly married mum and her husband to cancel their honeymoon plans... but, as Jordan's stepdad says, "he's got the face of an angel... You can't stay angry with him for long though as he doesn't really know right from wrong."

Yeah, OK. At least they never let him aboard the police helicopter. Collectively here at ANN... we shudder to think of the damage he might have caused there.
