Poor baby! Who in their right mind leaves a four year old alone for more than five minutes?

I just don’t get it. Why would a neglectful, uncaring low-life like this, whose children clearly get in the way of her free-swinging lifestyle, not simply put them up for adoption or abort them in the first place?

Who leaves a four year old alone at all?

Something sounds fishy here. A 4 year old uses the pilot light of a furnace to light an M80? My BS radar is going off for some reason...

The boy apparently found a large firecracker on a coffee table.

Doesn't everyone leave M-80s around the house??? /s

Yup, he should have at least used the Zippo mom uses for the crack pipe.

I do...But if I don’t hear anything for five minutes, I know it’s time to go save the cat/glass vase/elderly neighbors from their sticky little fingers.

Being poor doesn’t make you a bad parent.
Although a name like Adonneka might!

The neighbor's name makes it kinds tough not to laugh at this thread about a toddler being de-fingered by fireworks.

Where *does* one obtain a real M-80 nowadays, anyway?

What? And give up the child support?

Legal Researchers, don’t let one Person Of Benefits be used to PROFILE all People Of Fireworks, OK?

At least this will get the boy removed from the custody of his demented mother. I hope he can recover from this and live the remainder of his childhood with people who will take good care of him. Scumbags like his mother don’t deserve to have children.

Sad LOL.

That whole neighborhood sounds like it’s full of winners.

“I saw the little dude...”? Who TALKS like that?

She did leave him with a gun and explosives so he could protect himself.
