Basically, people are too irresponsible to handle fireworks without threatening others. While some may focus on the injury to the 10-year old here, I would focus on the fact that a 10-year old was shooting off fireworks that can injure others in the first place. The parents bear some of the blame here.Jeff Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896694141148386531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1152281521137136422006-07-07T09:12:00.000-05:002006-07-07T09:12:00.000-05:00Zach--watch the video of the report.

As I understood from viewing the report, the family had purchased the fireworks and planned to let them off under the supervision of the boy's father. The kids got into them and begin letting them off on their own without their parents' knowledge.Gary R.
