[That Mugen Guy]

HOLY poop! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

Millions of dollars in fines.
Damn this kid is f'd!

[General Frostbite (☆)]

Yep, I read about that last week.

I'm not surprised, kids will do anything and get themselves into some pretty nasty situations these days.

Also, both of the kid's parents are facing jail time if the kid doesn't get charged.

Harsh indeed.

[Violent Ken Masters]

Most of the time, the parents are held accountable for their child's crimes.

[Whoblehwah]

Agree'd.

[Acey]

Well, they never say how he "accidentally" caused the fire, and this is what I would like to know.

Yes, they don't even say anything on how the kid actually started the fire. The only thing we know is that matches were involved. The kid and his parents are in some serious s**t and are going to pay for the rest of their lives......really unfortunate and sad

[street_shark]

damn...i seriously cant help but think..."damn...that REALLY f**k** sucks!"

[eg6gsr]

wow.....that is so serious......I see the parents getting in more trouble than the child but either way that kids adult life has just started for him and that is what is really sad cause he is so young

[AceWonder20]

That is f*cked up right there.  Whatever allowance that kid gets, he can say goodbye to it.  His parents will pay.  If the law dont get em the angry mob will.  You know theres gonna be one.

Yeah I need more info.  I find it really hard to believe a kid burned 800 miles with just a box of matches.  If you ever created a bunfire it takes consider work ( or lack of) to burn down a forest

[1nonly]

"BIG things come in small Packages!"

  i agree on that

[thefisherkings]

Here is another artical that makes it seems like he only started a fraction of the fire

60 of 809 miles

They're saying that kid isn't intelligent enough to realize the consequences of what he did!!!??? BULLSH*T!!!

[That Mugen Guy]

They're saying that kid isn't intelligent enough to realize the consequences of what he did!!!??? BULLSH*T!!!

well I doubt he mean to burn down almost a whole forest and all those homes, unless he was crazy

well I doubt he mean to burn down almost a whole forest and all those homes, unless he was crazy

And I doubt he wasn't intelligent enough to know NOBODY SHOULD PLAY WITH FIRE.

Where exactly in Cali was this btw? o_O

because on the new it said fire fighters weren't trained enough to fight the fires 

[Lifewater]

I find it hard to believe but I guess so the kid isnt a kid anymore one box of matchs thats karma for you I bet he didnt mean to do all that I dont think he could have imagined all that. Wow thats all you can really say

That still doesn't make any sense. 

The firefighters were there to fight the fires, they didn't cause them.

So it's pointless to blame them, regardless of whether they were well-trained or not. We're looking at the people (or person) responsible for causing the fire, not at those who tried to fight the fire. There wouldn't be a fire had it not been for that little kid.
