'Mommy They Lit Me on Fire': CT 6-Year-Old Burned in Horrific Bully Attack, Family Says

[rurallib]

4. had something similar happen to me

when I was @ 3 or 4. Memories are very sketchy since I was so young.

My dad was mowing the yard, we were burning in the burn barrel. Dad left the gas can in the middle of the lawn. My mother was in the house washing dishes and watching us out the window,

My brother took the gas can and threw some on my shirt and pants and pushed me to the burn barrel. I lit up like a torch. Fortunately my mom saw me light up and was out the door and on top of me in a split second. Stop, drop and rolled on me like a football player.

Luckily I was only slightly red from the flames. Mom screamed at my brother like a banshee.

This story brought that memory flooding back.
