LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a horrifying incident, a 12-year-old boy frantically called 911 after his father decided to drive him to Las Vegas from Los Angeles while he was drunk on October 26.
"I need help. My dad is trying to take me to Vegas. He's acting weird," the boy can be heard telling the dispatchers at the CHP dispatch center in Los Angeles. Luckily, they reached him in the nick of time and rescued him after he and his reportedly inebriated father arrived in Inland Empire. Ayden's father picked him up from a birthday celebration without anyone's knowledge under the pretence that they were going to a park but later, they headed for Vegas, as per ABC7 News.
