Someone called the cops on Charlize Theron when she put her son in a timeout


Reason #935,582, 761 for “Why I Would Be A Crappy Mother”: I have zero patience for tantrums, especially the tantrums of children too young to be reasoned with or bribed. I see kids at the grocery store or in various department stores having full-blown meltdowns and every single time, I think “better her than me.” I have sympathy, of course, for the mother who has to deal with a tantrumy child, especially moms who manage to deal with it with some kind of grace, rather than resorting to a bottle of whiskey. So, how does Charlize Theron deal with it when her three-year-old son Jackson throws a tantrum? She puts him in time-out, even if they’re in the middle of a hiking trail. And that’s when the whole thing just got crazy.
Sean Penn and Charlize Theron had their morning hike interrupted by cops Thursday … after another hiker accused them of possibly mistreating Charlize’s toddler … but we’re told cops determined they did nothing wrong … TMZ has learned.
The incident went down at Vasquez Rocks in Santa Clarita, CA. Charlize and Sean were having a sunrise picnic when a female hiker with a camera stopped after she heard Charlize’s 2-year-old son Jackson screaming in a tantrum. The hiker went towards the child and started filming.
We’re told Charlize told the woman not to go near Jackson, so the hiker left and called the cops and claimed something bad might have happened to the kid.
We’re told the deputies quickly determined nothing happened. Jackson was just on a timeout and got really upset. The deputies concluded the timeout involved no physical contact, so they left and no action will be taken.

I realize that child endangerment is nothing to joke about, but can this person really not figure out the difference between “something terrible is happening to a child” and “that kid is a having a fit because his mom brought the wrong juice box”? It seems so… odd to me that this stranger’s first reaction was to FILM Jackson, and then call the cops on Charlize. Maybe the context was a lot different than how it was portrayed by TMZ though. This is just a bizarre story. My take: Charlize did nothing wrong on the cop-calling stranger is a nosy busybody.
Here are some photos of Sean Penn and Charlize arriving at LAX earlier this week – they had been filming together in South Africa for months, then they took a short break in Paris. I’m actually a little bit surprised that they’re still together.
