Did you ever play with matches/fire before you turned 5?

Imagine what that young boy in the Bronx who started a fire in the apartments he and his family lived in by playing with the stove will have to deal with his whole life. He accidentally caused the death of 12 people including 4 children.

I will admit that I once started a fire on the back porch of my house in St Louis when I was 4 years old. I have had nightmares about what might have happened if our neighbor hadn't smelled the smoke grabbed me off the porch and notified my siblings and parents. My mother had only just put down the matches for a few seconds before I noticed and grabbed them and decided playing with fire could be fun.

I totally see how these things can happen and how children must be watched every second.
