[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is quite troubling, OP.

First, what materials was he burning? Wood makes sense, but plastic or other things that give off toxic fumes is idiotic.

Second, did you ask him what plan he had if the fire got out of control? Did he prepare a bucket of water? Rake any yard debris out of the way? The safest way to start a fire is to take out a patch of lawn and do it on soil. Not that you want your lawn destroyed, but just so he knows.

Third, do you think something more sinister was hidden with the toys? Drugs?

Fourth - biggest red flag. Soiling his pants at that age is.... wow. Does your child have anxiety issues, special needs, something happening right now?

You need to approach this calmly and with circumspection, and probably need to talk with a psychologist.

Wow.  The kid is 15 years old, do you really think he was thinking about toxic fumes from burning plastic or had thought ahead to have a safety plan in place.  Come on!![/quote]
