The smoker in this house needs to be slapped for leaving a lighter where a child can get to it. In addition this would not happen if all lighters were made with safety latches.

Gloria1107, I agree with you. I found this article interesting in that it says the child was referred for counselling. Is this standard procedure anymore, even if a child this young accidentally sets a fire, or has this particular child had problems in the past with playing w/ fire?

That is a shame - I think a six year old should know about the danger ot such things but guess I am from the old school. Then too adults should not leave those nasty things where children can get them.
