I know absolutely nothing about children who set fires, or why they do it... but the subject intrigues me.
I wonder, has anyone ever considered letting these children experiment with fire in a controlled environment, under adult supervision? After all, it won't always be possible to monitor them or keep them away from matches. Do they outgrow the need to set fires after awhile? Does addressing the underlying issues (sexual abuse or whatever) in therapy ultimately cure them of their desire to burn things? Just wondering...
