if he started it on purpose then yes, if it was honest childs play then a week in juvi should straighten his asss out.

This has been asked quite a few times tonight, but I'll answer, anyway. He's only ten. I think of my kid sister, and what would happen if she accidentally lit SoCal on fire, and I think I'd pity her. The guilt this boy is going to have to live with for the rest of his life should be punishment enough. He should have consequences, but not jail time or multi-million dollar fines! Maybe have him commit to community service (helping the fire victims), or help organize fund-raising campaigns to the same effect, or give him a hefty time-out, but anything more serious is just awful! He's only ten.
Of course, I'm a SoCal resident whose home is still intact. I'm sure, if I had suffered any damage, my thoughts would be different.

no because it was an accident. punishments are not given for the action but rather for the intention. the reason for charges is to change or condemn the wicked not punish the innocent. long hours of community service should be more than enough. if he is truly evil, he would be punishing himself

They should take away his xbox...or wait..did that get burned to?
well if it was accidental then no. But he needs to be punished in some way or manner. Not charged. He's just a effin kid for gods sake!!

Definitely as the law says he must be charged, but in a way beneficial for him.

i agree with zeplinn... the kid was just playin with fire. although theere should be a puunishment by his parents. parents always remind their kids not to play with fire. if he was lighting a fire to cook on or something like that, or to do experiments, then no.

No. . . it's my fault, Smokey told me a long time ago that only I can prevent forest fires. I dropped the ball.

yes. A ten year old should know what he's doing. Unless he's retarded or something which I bet he is.
