Figured I'd bring some local news in for discussion:
(local as in it happened a few hundred meters from my house)

Sadly the article is fairly dilute (and goes off topic >_> ) but I'll sum it up.

On Saturday a bunch of kids started a fire on my estate, and one of them is now fighting for his life after getting severely burned from it. I do have to point out that this was in the middle of the day, and the boy's 9.
They've managed to keep how fucked he is from this out the paper, basically he'll be lucky if he lives.

Personally I blame the parents, no one seems to look after their children any more - instead leaving them to do whatever they like.

The same way people let their kids go to town on their own, and that's a 3 mile walk. Lack of caring = a generation fucked.

typical whitehaven entertainment

they should know where the hell he is most times.
9 year olds dont need independence yet!
and they shouldnt play with fire. no one should.

Kid was either unlucky or stupid to stand that close. Or both.

When i was little me and my friends played on construction sites, started fires with tar, made glass shrapnel and smoke grenades out of various chemicals, and all that other fun stuff kids in 90's Russia did

Idiot had aerosols & cooking oil in the fire, so it basically jumped on him.

Lol, naah. They're demolishing a load of houses that got damaged by storms & replacing them with new ones.

Makes the spot look untidy having a full street boarded up though, even worse since kids broke into them.

Fire is almost too fun, but stupid kids obviously means stupid fire.
