[QUOTE="klmno, post: 278808, member: 3699"] Personally, I think playing once or twice with fire is pretty common. If your difficult child turns around and sets something else on fire after this, that would be in a different league, in my humble opinion. When kids are really into trying to set things on fire, it is a big red flag for seruious problems. You might want to check on this- in our area, a kid is put through the fire program when he/she is first caught doing something dangerous with fire. If they are caught after going through that program, their are major charges brought to court. My son is in state juvy right now- he had a suspended sentence that included a charge for felony arson (he set a brush fire), then almost 2 years later, he messed up again- although that had nothing to do with fire. You might want to ask the fireman giving the course to talk to your son and get the point across to him- the legal systeem does not look the other way when it comes to fire. [/QUOTE]
