Woa where were his parents? Very unusual for a child to do this (thank goodness)

I. for one often take longer to do my shopping because of having to watch my childrens’ every move. They know they are not allowed to touch things on shelves or in aisles but there are times they will “test the boundaries”. I’m sure sometimes they do it to embarrass me as they know I will not tolerate or ignore the unacceptable behaviour.

This certainly sounds like a big supervision failure.

I hope they find the boy, find out why he had matches and whether there are any other problems at home, and make the parent/s pay for the damage. Luckily no one was hurt.

I know kids like to run off but I never leave my kids unsupervised. Mainly because I’d hate for them to be out of site & someone take them but also I don’t want them to touch & break anything in the shops. Where was the parent when their young child got a hold of the matches?

Glad the damage was limited to $3000 of stock ! Wonder where the parents were indeed and what made this boy feel to play with fire (as it can be one of the indicators of deeper problems).

Yes I know at times children get bored and take off. Still the person looking after the child should had know he/she was missing. Was the child actually with a responsible person as some older children are sent to do shopping and may not look after the smaller child as good.

Where were the parents while this was happening?!? Terrible …. but could have been so much worse!

Oh my. Luckily they were able to contain the fire. I wonder if he was alone there and escaped when he realized what he did, or he was with an adult.

Oh my goodness! What a little turd. Why wasn’t the parent / parents supervising him!
