4-year-old Chinese boy steals money from home to gamble

The boy admitted to taking the cash from a cabinet while his mother was not home

Beijing: A 4-year-old boy in China was caught by his school teacher with $ 3,264 in cash that he stole from home to gamble on cards with friends and appear "cool".

The teacher alerted the kindergartener's parents in Shaoyang, Hunan province of China after discovering the hefty sum in his schoolbag while checking for his homework last week.

When confronted by school authorities, the boy admitted to taking the cash from a cabinet while his mother was not home, a few days earlier, 'Global Times' reported.

He said that adults who gamble with piles of money look "cool" and he wanted to play high-stakes cards with his friends. The shocked mother said she had been struggling to locate the money, which she had set aside for a business deal.
