: : Burns Recovered Support Group does not believe that "scaring" children is the best way to deal with children setting fires.
: : As part of our multi-week intervention program, we are fortunate to have a burn survivor who comes & speaks directly to the issues of being burned. This person speaks of the pain of the burn, of the hospitalization, the physical rehab, the emotional recovery & how the burns have changed the burn survivors life. The speaker is able to "show & tell" their scars, explain how skin grafts work & turn the excperience into an educational opportunity.
: : Also, we are fortunate to have a child who is a burn survivor & was injured while behaving inappropriately with fire. This young person is willing to & has previously talked with other children to add another level to this program.
I am a very frightened mother who recently learned that her 13 year old daughter is taking perfume, spraying it and torching it with a lighter. She also sprayed the curtains in her room and lit them. It did not burn the curtains but I need help on how to deal with this. I live in Grant County Kentucky. Does anyone know how I could go about getting help so that she realizes what could happen to her and our family?
