See Why 10-Year-Old Set Fire to Apartment
A 10-year-old boy has been arrested and charged with arson after he allegedly set an apartment on fire in Pinellas Park.
According to police, the boy approached another child around 6:30 p.m. last week Thursday at an apartment complex where he also lived, and asked about using a bicycle that belonged to the child.
When the child refused to allow the boy to use the bike, police said the boy poured gasoline on the front door and the welcome mat to the child’s apartment, knocked on the door, and lit it on fire.
The child saw the fire on the door through the viewing hole, and was able to call for help and escape the apartment.
The boy was located in the complex and interviewed by officers who said he admitted to the arson.
The presence of flammable liquid was also detected on the boy by a K-9 officer.
No one was injured in this incident and the extent of the damage to the residence was exclusive to the area of the front door.
The child and his mother were the only two people in the apartment at the time of the fire.

Nawa oh.
Can you imagine what a 10year old did and for what reason? A bicycle? That kid is beyond damaged. There’s everything wrong with kids of this day.
This child isn’t raised with any form of love around him. When kids are this aggressive, there’s something the parents ain’t doing properly.
Gush! 10 year old, he lack training, na wa o this would have resulted in something serious
Chai!!! This boy is surely a product of domestic violent parents. He needs a rehab ASAP.
they need to teach the child how to control the temper,too young for dat
Thank God no life was lost but he should face the punishment.
Smh l’m sure if investigated further it would be discovered d boy’s problem/character is from home.He either lacks parental love or witnesses violence in his home
Surely this boy lacks love. He believes he deserves to get whatever he wants or he’ll destroy whoever says no to him. They should rehabilitate him else suicide bombers have a new member.
He should be dealt with now to teach him some manners/lesson
Imagine? That boy should be punished
At age 10 he’s got such a wicked heart what will happen when he becomes an adult?
Imagine? That boy should be punished.
This boy needs help. He should be sent to rehab for behavior change.
Eeeiii. Eeiii.. This boy needs help oo. He’s been watching too much holly wood movies too.
At 10 yrs he is already doing this ao you can imagine what will happen when he’s a teenager . He needs help and should be put in boot camp
