“The cruelty and callousness shown towards a child who is suffering greatly (or soon will be) by you and so many others disgusts me to no end. Y’all should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.”

Look we all know she was a 12 year old we just find it hard to believe she has the IQ of an ash tray. None of my friends at age 12 ever tried anything like this!

I could tell you some wild Camp stories involving a campfire but that is it! Stuff like that usually involved trying to build the biggest bonfire not burn the natives or ourselves.

Taking alcohol and setting ourselves on fire? Oh that never crossed our minds!
We had too much fire safety instilled in us to do something so stupid like this.

Also Smarty since you a Jr Firefighter tell me something. Alcohol fires can’t be put out with water can’t they? You need something else like baking soda or fire extinguisher due to nature of how oily isopropyl alcohol is. This child should have “Stopped dropped and rolled” but had not been taught this. Her parents (mother) should have put a blanket on her to smother the flames or am I correct?

Most alcohols are fairly soluble in water and diluting them will ptevent them from igniting.
