Grieving parents found the body of their 14-year-old adopted son hugging his dead dog after the Maui wildfires — then carried him around half a mile to a police station to be confirmed among the dead.
Schoolboy Keyiro Fuentes had been home alone enjoying his last day of summer break when the deadliest US wildfires in a century started overwhelming his neighborhood in Lahaina, his mother, Luz Vargas, told CBS News.
The mom was working five miles away at the time — and unable to get home when she saw the smoke, despite begging cops to let her through their barriers.
When she and the rest of her family managed to search their home two days later, they found Keyiro’s charred body wrapped around his dead dog, the sobbing mom told CBS.
“He was not as I expected, in ashes,” she said of the body thought to have been preserved by the extreme heat.
“God maintained him like this. So, we knew it was him,” she said of her adopted son.

They needed to all ignore the police.
Those police all need to be tried for mass murder, if they weren’t already roasted to death.

SCOTUS has already acknowledged that “Serve and Protect” is nothing more than an empty slogan.

It doesn’t make sense. How did the electric workers get out alive ? And what kinds of barriers were there ?

I can’t imagine being able to go on with your life after this. I just can’t.
