A 3-year-old toddler in Oklahoma, US, brought down the full wrath of the law along with his pull-up nappy when he took off his pants and had a wee on his own front lawn, according to the Blaze.

Some parents may find it offensive, or simply prefer to limit toilet activities to the bathroom. What do you think?
