8 year old arrested for arson
Okay, how in the world can you hold an 8 year old accountable for doing something that she cannot fully comprehend? They should arrest her parents for their lack of supervision. How does an 8 year old have that much autonomy anway?
I think all involved, the parents and the police qualify for the “dumbass awards”.
Police say an 8-year-old girl who lived at 319 Central Avenue in Norwich deliberately set the fire on April 30th.
She’s charged with third degree larceny, but neighbors say she’s not the one to blame.
“I think the parents should be responsible for it’s a child. Where did she get the lighter, things like that. The parents’s fault,” said Susan Bogan of Norwich.
