However, neighbors claimed that the family didn't even have cable television, and was unable to view the show. In Moraine, Ohio, on October 6, 1993, five-year-old Austin Messner, set fire to his mother's mobile home with a cigarette lighter, killing his two-year-old sister, Jessica. A county firefighter just happened to spot the quickly growing fire on his way home from work and called 911, according to authorities. Authorities said fire crews arrived on the scene and pulled two people from the rubble.
Gloria Browne-Marshall, a constitutional law professor at John Jay College, said the murder charge on a child is an abuse of power by the prosecutor. "I think he should go somewhere until he's legal age to go to juvie," Samantha said. "Then I think he should go to juvie. And then from juvie to prison. Because at the end of the day, whether he meant to or not, he knew what fire did." Since the incident, Kyle's mother Katie Alwood has been hit with a gag order restricting her ability to talk about the case.

Mr Minger said if child was found guilty of murder, they could be placed of probation for at least five years. Both the mother and the other child in the apartment suffered no major injuries due to the fire. Several nearby units in the Alder Grove apartment complex suffered damage. Authorities determined that the man, whose name has not been disclosed, had not seen his child in roughly a year, owing to a restraining order filed against him by his ex-girlfriend. On the night of the incident, the mother relented and allowed the man to visit with his child. And a minor is not given a public jury trial and not entitled to one unless the minor is charged as an adult.

According to the Tribune, they made contact with the family 13 times prior to the fatal fire. If convicted of murder, the child could be placed on probation for at least five years, but not beyond the age of 21.

Norton doesn’t blame her son and takes responsibility for what happened. She wants to warn other parents about the dangers of keeping lighters in the house. She was able to grab her son and evacuate the home with a few of the family pets. The fire started in 9-year-old Xavier’s bedroom where he was playing with a lighter in the closet. Alwood said her son deserves to pay for his alleged actions but said the family has already suffered enough. "I stood at the window and I told my kids I was sorry I couldn't save them," Alwood said.
Another older child who was in the apartment called 911 while the parents continued to argue. Deputies with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office could hear a woman crying and a dog barking in the background of the call. Sheriff's spokeswoman Kionna Rowe told the Bee that deputies attempted to communicate with the man once they arrived and eventually noticed that he appeared to be setting small fires in the bathroom.

Katrina Alwood, who was 27 at the time, managed to escape the fire and survived. Minger did not identify the child or provide details on the child's possible relationship with the victims of the fire. Marie Chockley, a resident of the Timberline Mobile Home Park in Illinois, surveys the damage caused by the fire in April. The family did have home insurance but says they did not have fire coverage because of a wood-burning stove in the home.
The Tribune is not naming him because he has been charged as a juvenile. The April 6 fire killed a 1-year-old, two 2-year-olds, a 34-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman at a mobile home park about 150 miles southwest of Chicago. “She called 911, and neighbors unsuccessfully tried to help her gain entry into the house to get the children out,” Maceroni wrote. Authorities are investigating a tragic house fire last weekend that left a Hall County man and his son dead. Minger previously said probation is the “only outcome” that would happen if the child is convicted, reports the Journal Star. The month before, a 10-year-old boy was arrested on charges of aggravated assault after he threw a ball at another child's face during a dodgeball game.

The victims were identified as Jesse Hinds, 40, and son, Jesse Hinds Jr., 9. He added that if convicted, the child would likely be sentenced to at least five years of probation but not beyond the age of 21. He suggested that the child will not face time in prison and will likely have to undergo therapy, counseling, and psychological evaluation. Minger suggested that the juvenile knew that others were inside the home when setting the fire.
To secure a conviction, prosecutors will need to prove the nine-year-old had intent to kill in advance, which is the threshold for first-degree murder cases. Another resident, Raul Ibarra, told the outlet that earlier in the night he had witnessed an officer with an AR-15 walk by his unit. Later in the night, he was told to evacuate the building by fire personnel.
The boy is not being identified because he is being tried as a juvenile; however, the other family members have been identified in multiple reports. The juvenile also was charged with two counts of arson and one count of aggravated arson, the Peoria Journal Star reported. The man arrested following the hit-and-run death of a young girl earlier this week is facing a charge of failure to stop at the scene of an accident causing death. Juan Manuel Becerra Garcia, 45, is expected to appear in the Montreal courthouse Wednesday after reportedly turning himself in.
Katrina Alwood told CBS News Thursday that the boy charged with murder is her son. The April 6 fire at the residence in the Timberline Mobile Home Park in Goodfield resulted in the deaths of Kathryn Murray, 69; Jason Wall, 34; Rose Alwood, 2; Daemeon Wall, 2; and Ariel Wall, 1. The child was accused of intentionally starting a fire in an Illinois mobile home that killed five people, including three toddlers. No child as young as this one has been accused in a mass killing since at least 2006, according to the AP/USATODAY/Northeastern University mass murder database. It tracks all U.S. homicides since then in which four or more people were killed over a short period of time , regardless of weapon, location, victim-offender relationship or motive.

In the 1890s, Illinois became among the first places in the world to establish a juvenile court, thereby taking minors out of the adult system, Clark said. But the case announced this week shows Illinois is no longer on the cutting age of juvenile justice, she said. A leading Illinois advocate for children ensnared in the criminal justice system sharply criticized the decision to charge a child that young with murder.
