Poverty Keeps Boy Dressed as Girl in New York State
In Syracuse on November 21, 1931, six year old Charles Richard Glayton was freed to say he is a boy after years in girls clothes. His mother Mrs John Clayton kept him dressed as a girl due to poverty and scarcity of boys clothes. A merchant misidentified him as a girl and noted the boy’s warm clothing, prompting a change. Neighbors and police learned the truth as the family faced Thanksgiving with bread pudding. The home, shared with a parrot and two animals, reflected their dire circumstances.
