The mother and 2-year-old brother of 14-year-old CJ Jones also perished in the Staten Island blaze. CJ was found with a straight razor under his body in the torched home.

What would make a child, a CHILD do this type of thing? I work with troubled kids and I still don’t understand the motivations behind some of their actions. How all the way out of it, was this kid that he thought death was the only out for him? No need to answer I just needed to say that out loud.
“Troubled Teen” now that’s what call understatement.
Crazy. All the pyro kids I remember growing up were content with setting shoeboxes of GI Joes on fire.
