The expectation that a parent has to have eyes on their small children, 24/7, is absurd. It's not possible.
This is just a very shitty accident.
Why is monitoring a young child properly an absurd notion?

So he only ever played with burner knobs, is that right? All the time? Never stopped?Right? This is your point?
Dude...lol, I just go by what got reported. The report was he had a history of playing with burners. If he had a history of playing with toys that isn't alarming. The burners are.

And how many times did that result in a fire before this fire?
I know you live in luxury so you may not be familiar with things like burners. But even the ones from the 50s were "child proof" as in, you have to push them in before you can rotate the knobs to ignite the burners.

I don't even know what to say here lol. I use a stove all the time. Come on bro. I'm just pointing out what the story said. No, he obviously didn't have a history of burning shit down, but yes playing with burners.

Great. So you agree with me that it is not possible to watch small children 24/7 and that this was clearly an accident?

It was an accident, the kid didn't do it on purpose. I do wonder if steps could have been taken to prevent this, given his history of playing with burners.

6. Touch your 3-year-old, many time per day:
JK, JK, they could have worded that much much better. "Give your 3-year-old child lots of affection throughout the day."

Look at what you said.
Did you address what I said?
No. You didn't. You responded to something no one posted but quoted me.
Shame.
You are the one who contended that 24/7 supervision was an absurd standard to apply to parents. I responded EXPLICITLY to thst reality.
