A fire marshal in Alaska's capital city says a 7-year-old boy has admitted setting five arson fires over a little more than four months.
Juneau fire marshal Dan Jager tells the Juneau Empire (http://bit.ly/Hr6wKe ) that the boy caused about $1,000 in damages by setting fires in restrooms at Harborview Elementary School and the Terry Miller Legislative Building, plus a downtown grass fire and two fires at a Fred Meyer store.
Jager says the boy told him he used a lighter.
Surveillance footage at the legislative building recorded the boy entering and leaving the bathroom at the same time as the fire in the building.
Fire Chief Richard Etheridge says the arson case will be forwarded to probation officers at Juneau's juvenile detention center.
Re: 7-Year-Old Arsonist in Alaska
wait...is this kid's name Carl??
Ah, wtf else is there to do in Juneau?
Br
Btw OP, your sig, in the post, almost looks like it's supposed to be a pic of the arsonist. Lol
If he also tortures animals and wets his bed, this kid is fcvked.
ETA: For those who aren't familiar, childhood arson, bed-wetting, and animal torture are three behaviors commonly found in seriel killers.
LOL!
I'd better go check and make sure he's still in his crib, not out setting fires!

I haven't spent enough time with 7-year olds to gauge their intelligence, but I'm inclined to agree with you. I'm sure he knew what he was doing was wrong, but I doubt he knew the depth of how wrong it was it.
