Home Caught on Fire, So Couple Grabbed Dog but Forgot Boy!

Posted by Alex in Baby & Kids, Crime & Law on September 27, 2007 at 1:06 pm


When Crystal Adams and James Chandler’s mobile home caught on fire, the quick-thinking couple grabbed their pet dog and fled. But they left their young boy inside!

Police said the firefighters learned that the boy was still inside the burning mobile home when Chandler and Adams told firefighters that they had forgotten the child. Police said that was about 20 minutes after the couple had gotten out.

"They were asked numerous times by law enforcement — I overheard at least once or twice — ‘Is there anyone else in these trailers?’" Brucker said.

The boy was conscious when a firefighter found him in a bedroom, Brucker said.

"You tuck your kid in bed, you should remember that he’s still in there," Brucker said.

    Wow. I hope the firefighters took the kid directly to child services.

    At least they seem to be conscientious pet owners though.

    The operative words here are “mobile home”.

    Kids you can make anytime, but a good dog is hard to find.
    Kidding! Absentminded rednecks… how sad for that kid. :(

    How does one forget a child?

    They need licensing requirements for having a child.

    Um, how can you not think immediatly of ‘foul play’. We’ve seen many stories on the news over the years of parents trying to ‘get rid’ of their kids. It’s just… suspicious. How can a parent not immediatly think of their kid..?

    I can bet that this kid will certainly not forgive his folks for this.

    Ugh, If i was that kid I would beg child services to take me away. Anything compaired to those parents and their living situation would be an improvement, no doubt.
