Toddler Uses Blowtorch To Set Fire To Neighborhood

What happens when you combine bad parenting with a freakishly smart and bada$$ kid? FIRE!

Township police said somebody reported seeing the boy walking on Route 388, carrying the blowtorch and wearing only a T-shirt.

“The torch itself in the propane tank has safety switches, and the child was able to manipulate them and turn the torch on,” said Shenango Township Police Patrolman Darrin Cwynar.

Police said the boy burned a porch swing, a broom, a sliding door, a deck and a knob on a septic tank and singed an igniter on a gas grill.

Shenango Township Police Chief Dave Rishel said damages were estimated to be almost $5,000.

“The torch was right near the grill and the results could have been devastating, just could have been devastating,” said Rishel. “Fortunately, the child was not burned in any way, shape or form. That in itself is a miracle.”

The kid’s mom was sleeping after working a midnight shift and daddy was gone. Someone should get those little partitions or something to keep the boy in his room while mommy naps. Does anyone else have images of Stewie from Family Guy running around in their heads?
