It looks like it’s a MINOR.
WHERE oh WHERE were the PARENTS?
I say community service to the MINOR and the PARENTS and some sort of restitution by the parents not not watching their kid. Unless it’s Bill Gates the parents won’t be able to pay enough or compensate for the DEATHS of others or business interuption or the COST of this tragedy or how rates will go UP, nationwide but a painful amount should be determined.
You can’t watch kids every second.
For the record, no one died in any of the fires in Los Angeles county.
My son was involved in a minor incident a couple of years ago. While waiting for the bus, he and another high-schooler were throwing lighted matches at each other. (STUPID!!) The Laguna Niguel police were called and I had to leave work and meet with the OC Fire Dept. My son was scared out of his wits. The fire captain told me that if the hillside had caught fire, we could be held liable for hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, something that would follow my son for the rest of his life. Believe me, he has never done anything like that again!
It LOOKS like it's a minor. Not telling the age would make one think so. Still, I have never heard of not reporting the age. The name is often withheld if it is a minor, but not the age.
With the age not being reported we don't know for sure that it is a minor. I find the age being withheld a tad suspicious. JMO
