WRAL’s Ashley Rowe reports.

Parents describe moment they found son unwrapping Christmas presents at 3 a.m.

Bile filled people are the worst.
If this video upset you go get some therapy.
You all hate yourselves so much that this benign story about a 3 year old opening presents early on Christmas caused you to be upset and angry.
How mentally unstable can you be? You're like those psychos who scream at a teenager working a fast food counter because you got 2 ketchup packets when you asked for 4.
Of course the middle child 😂
I’m sorry what this child did was wrong and the toy should’ve been taken away for two weeks before giving back to that child and he showed up also been punished and I won’t say how because there are so many people that will disagree with that but that’s how I feel about it because that’s how we would have been dealt with it. We even thought about doing something like that, we knew better not to do that in our family. We knew the consequences but yet this child is on the news and people think it’s humorous and funny of what he did. I don’t find it either one of them and I think the parents did wrong by not enforcing some kind of punishment on this child for what he did what’s going to stop him from doing it next year?
Do not lie to your children I suggest. Santa ain’t real. He is not. Don’t lie. It’s not about Santa.
As if everyone watching the national news tonight really gave a fudge…………………………………………………………………………………………………
Good job parents😊
I knew it! I knew some little kid was unwrapping all the presents at midnight and that the family would wake up to everything unwrapped! Oh wow 6.7 million views, yeah I knew people would be documenting their Christmas online too!
Not a great Christmas story…. more a story of a spoiled child and enabling parents…. oh he is so cute? BS
Feeling he can do that at 3 years old imagine what kind of things he will be entitled to as an adult?
Too funny, I love stories like this. 🙂
I did THAT in 1958. JUST got out of “time out” TWO DAYS ago! Who’s got MY Hula Hoop???
Why is this in the news? How much did they pay for this to be aired?
At least you know he is excited about Xmas.
I am not trying to be mean…but the husband sounds like he may have a little sugar in his stocking.
I don't really understand why this is news. We used to wake up super early when we were little…too. Maybe not 3am…but maybe 4 or 5am.
Iwudda taken his gifts to salvation army……DONE.
Next year, laser security system and confetti bomb decoy presents.. He'll be 4 and much more stealthy. ❤ 🌎 ✌ Good Luck Folks.. 3 yr olds are running the world 😜
Teaching your kids to believe magic is real?
Is that really your job?
Stop giving him after dinner coffee.
What a brat!
Stop lying to the kids about Santa and Christmas..
😯🙄🤪😂😂😂
Anything for clicks, likes, and views. 🤳📈🎥💸🙄🙄🙄
Crazy how so many people in the comments are so negative and bitter over something like this.
You'll complain when there are only bad or negative stories in the news but then b!tch and moan when there are stories like this one.
Seems like you just want to be recreationally outraged. Like a bunch of bitter old cat ladies lol 😂
💕
Young Santa, came down from the chimney! Great job. Wish them all a Merry Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. God bless.
I get it if the 3 year old has some mental challenges, otherwise, who cares that your kid is a brat, already 3 and can't understand not to open that, he even had a lame excuse, he's smart.
This doesn’t sound like behavior you condone. Raising children to be privileged should not be publicly accepted. Meanwhile some kids have no presents to open during these times. Only people who are privileged would find this cute or amusing.
🤣 This kid is never going to live this down ! Every Christmas, there will be stories – and in 20 years, it may end up that he'd unwrapped the stuff on the entire block 😂 Too good not to embellish a bit.
Mine, around two years at the time, got into a canister of flour and turned himself and the entire house into a white Christmas.
😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨🙄🙄🙄🙄
You obviously did not raise him right.
I can’t imagine not hearing them exit bed
6.2 million views…. yeah I rather have 6.2 million….
pennies…
I don't find it charming. I would have been angry
😂
Teach them to believe in Jesus and the magic will never end!
Jesus is REAL!
Jesus is ALIVE!
"He sees us when we are sleeping, and knows when we are awake, He knows if we are good or bad so be GOOD, for Heavens sake!" 😄 🙏 ❤
Omg
Boring!!!!
Who cares??? Their son is a little jerk..how is this news??
Great parents! 🤍
Who cares!!!!!!!!!
Lady, I’m sorry to be the one to say it but your man is 💅
This will be a nice Christmas memory for generations of this family. It will be remembered long after the unwrapped presents are forgotten and thrown away.
What!? Santa isn’t real?
I miss those days when these types of news were the norm.
I got up at 5am, on Christmas Day, got dressed aged five in 1966, then went looking for Santa in the sky. 😁🎄🎁🧑🎄❤️
