How old a boy? Isn’t it unusuall to withhold the age as well as the name?

If it’s a six year old kid, bad luck, but let him off. If it’s a teenage punk, charge him. Something in between, who knows?

He should be made to go to schools all over the fire ffected area and tell the kids how dangerous and stupid it is to mess around and what the consequences are!

He should be accompanied by a few kids who lost their homes from the fires just to keep him "on track".

We have to make an example of this kid as a warning to others not to do the same. It’s what they call a teachable moment.

Age is important but what good will it do to prosecute? It’s ironic though that they don’t know what to do but if a six y/o had taken a toy gun to school or even drawn a picture of one he might have already been arrested.

Hopefully his parents will be required to help pay for some of the fire-fighting expenses, at least.

Can’t be. They are lying. Blackwater did it. /sarc

In case you don’t know, some liberal radio hosts say Blackwater did it.

The kid set a fire which burned 38,000 acres and destroyed 21 homes. Should he be punished? I'm not wise enough to know the answer.

I will say, however, that if he goes to school tomorrow and draws a picture of the policeman's gun, then he will be in BIG trouble.

What I czan’t figure out is if he and/or his family are legal or not - the police sat on this story for over a week.

400,000 hours of community service sounds about right.
