Maybe those children weren't supposed to die. MOO.

What exactly does that mean? A small child is not going to get out of the fire by him or herself.

What do you mean?

I mean you have to be careful when they have a channel or videos on youtube. You don't know who is watching your 9 year old. Most kids that watch youtube videos like creepypasta or gamers they can probably set up an account. These videos might be important to his defense but they could have attracted child molesters.

“It’s a tragedy, but at the end of the day it’s charging a very young person with one of the most serious crimes we have,” the prosecutor added. “But I just think it needs to be done at this point, for finality.”

“I think they should throw him in prison,” said John Wall, the brother of Alwood’s fiancé who perished in the inferno, the Journal Star reported.

“We should not be locking up 9-year-olds,” Keenan-Devlin echoed. “We should be putting in services and supports for children who commit crimes that shock the conscious.”

They can't throw him in prison or lock him up even if he is convicted. The worse he is facing is probation. So basically no punishment whatsoever.

I meant maybe the mom didn't want her boyfriend alive but didn't realize how unpredictable fire is. My thought only.

Yes, I've wondered if she's being paid for her interviews on msm.
Now that her son is in foster care w/ DCF and she has no other minor children at home, I wonder if her benefits have been cut and she
needs to make money somehow. And where is
she living now? Did she have a job?

DCF? The recent article claimed child was send to live with some relative, not foster care? So he is not with the relative, or is relative providing this foster care? And she didn't work per the articles, just staying home with the children.

This is one of the reason's I question if the mom was involved. Maybe there is more evidence. It sounded like her younger children died of smoke inhalation. She might have thought she could get them out have her oldest run for help. MOO.

So true. That flashed across my mind. All these kids with their own social media it’s so easy for them to become prey.

If you give a kid a phone you will find pictures videos but they usually stay on the phone. This kid is showing all to the world.

Yes I know. I tried to download. I finally found the right buttons. BUT, my granddaughter came by and needed gas to go to work. So I don’t have my credit card to upgrade my YouTube to download right now. Probably won’t for awhile. She’s the manager so she has to work a double. Anyone else have the premium version?

What DCF? The child was send to live with some relative, not foster care. And she didn't work per the articles, just staying home with the children.

We know she didn’t work. She got benefits for her kids.

Also:

DCFS investigating
The state’s Department of Children and Family Services opened an investigation into the circumstances of the deaths two days after the fire, according to an agency spokesman. Alwood said they took custody of her son shortly after the fire.

The agency had 13 previous contacts with the 9-year-old’s family before the fire, dating back to when he would have been an infant.

Mom knew he was posting these videos, the kid doesn't hide anything. The grandmother asked him where the video was going and he told her "on my youtube channel" so, they all knew he was filming and posting.

That looks like he is trying to get him to hit him or snap. We saw him hit a baby for no reason. He or someone wanted it filmed.

Kids this age and older are trying to build a persona attractive to viewers. It’s the now thing going down with child SM channels. He must be starved for attention to raise his ego.

I truly see more emotional/mental issues with the mom and dad than i do with the then 8 yr old boy. Those videos are just a snapshot into what daily life was like for those kids. I can NOT believe DCF did nothing about the living conditions. I guarantee those little ones had bruises, and mom looks drugged up most of the time.

You think that would make her worried about her son's posts. Or was she building evidence in case the boyfriend killed her or a child?

Someone on this video has either a black eye or a bruise on their face. Not sure if I can clearly say who it is because of WS's rules, but watch the video and you can see it.

This little kid has some deep internal struggle going on. He’s thought carefully about posting these two videos.
Truly breaks my heart. He needed someone to hear him. Pre-planning in process?

Yeah, mom was not very nice to him, no... Lots of yelling too.
