Too many parents don't realize that parenting is a full time job. They use surrogate babysitters like the TV or video games, or the Internet. Without adequate supervision, children will get into things that they shouldn't, and it is the parent's responsibility to monitor the child's activities so as to prevent this. If this child is emotionally troubled, or if he has a fascination with fire, then all the more reason that he needs close supervision. In any case, the parents ARE responsible for supervising their child's activity.
