Tragic loss of young lives
Every home should have Fire alerts
by now , you would think.

The Council should give them out free
for those that can not afford one

That's so sad. Losing 1 child would be absolutely devastating and heartbreaking so times that by 4. My heart goes out to the family

[LaLaLand]

Looks like the parents have been arrested and charged with gross manslaughter due to negligence

Oh wow, why I wonder? It says in the article that they were both home and suffered injuries too?

They both jumped from the second floor but their injuries were not serious I dont know what could lead to such a charge in a case like this

I thought this was a little dodgy Cherie when I read all the children that died were not his,just the one they saved was his,i hope that is just a rumour but knowing how wicked humans can be ,there could be a chance the parents did this.

Oh god, that's awful, however, the child that survived was a baby so it's also plausible that he was sleeping with then or in their room and that's why he was with them? Doesn't bare thinking about that it was what you suggested.

I hope I am wrong Niamh,but that is the story that is circulating , the place it happened is pretty close to where I live,I just hope in this case it's Chinese whispers,but I do find it weird that one of them didn't stay back and try to get the others,but who knows how you think in that situation,it's pretty horrific either way.

Well yeah, I mean you'd think they'd try and get the others out too, depending on where the fire was etc. That's a sickening thought though that they did that to get rid of the other children, horrific

Yes that does have to be cared for in a careful
Heated Way.

Gross negligence doesn't get thrown around without good reason. There must be some evidence that safety wise something was very wrong

And it would have to belong to the couple, which in.my opinion rules out a gas boiler..

A friend of mine on Facebook lives not a million miles from the family, and this is the rumour going round
