got some white stuff(crack) from this guy that cames to the door every week. He was also tought not to play with the red/ornage fire dancer(lighter), and one day he was caught playing with it so his mom got mad and made him put his hand out and then the o mom burned him with the fire dancer.. one day his mom left him home alone and the kid found the fire dancer.
He got his g.i joe toy and made the fire dancer seem as if it was like a torch to the action figure toy. But as he was playing with it, he got on the bed and as soon as he got on it, the curtains started to catch on fire. Once that happened, he went and hid behind the couch. His aunt which lived next door, saw the smoke coming out from the house and ran in there to get the kid (angel) out of there. After that, the mom got home and was taken to jail . after the mom got out of jail, she was not given the child back. Angel was playing outside and we he went back in the house the aunt was on the floor and not breathing.
