SHENANGO TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Police said it seems that a 3-year-old was able to operate a handheld blowtorch and set fires in his family's garage and on a neighbor's porch in Shenango Township, Lawrence County.
The safety precautions were in check, but the boy was able to manipulate them, and was seen walking around in only a T-shirt while setting the blazes. His mother was asleep, and is a night shift worker. One has to wonder if the child is normally unattended and this took it to an extreme, or if another safety measure failed.
