Childhood curiosity can be dangerous, but what this little boy did in Jiangsu, China, crossed all limits.
While he was waiting for his mother to finish shopping, an 8-year-old boy found a lighter in a drawer and decided it was the perfect moment for an incendiary “experiment.”
The market’s security cameras captured the disturbing moment when the minor, taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, set fire to the clothes of several mannequins.
Seeing how the flames grew, he walked away, happily skipping from the scene.
The boy was taken to the police station and coldly confessed: “I only did it for fun.”
Although no one was injured, the lesson was costly for his family. His mother had to pay 3,000 yuan (about 420 dollars) in compensation for the damages, and the minor received a strong official warning from the police.
