The mother locked her son up in his bedroom and went to work.

How tragic. That poor little boy must have been so afraid.
I wonder how long this "mother" was without a babysitter for this little boy?

Why did she have to leave him alone? Wasn't there anyone to help her? That poor little boy, so alone as he died.

I thought this was going to be one of those cases where the mom killed the child first and then set a fire to hide it.

I'm not even going to read this article, it's a tragedy. I'm so tired of hearing of children meeting untimely deaths due to their parent's neglect.
Poor little boy.

This is a video from her family from NBC 15 in Mobile, AL

I know what she did was wrong, but I do feel sorry for her, she worked day and nigth to support her sons. She had her 3-month old with her while cleaning. But she was also supporting a good-for-nothing boyfriend too!

They arrested dad too. Brandon Gurley came home while fire officials were still on the scene. He also was arrested for having a controlled substance. Mom took the three month old baby with her to work.http://blog.al.com/live/2008/04/boy_dies_in_blaze_parents_char.html
