Boy, 3, enrolled on fire safety course with arsonists
A three-year-old boy was made to take part in a six-month fire safety course alongside teen arsonists after his bedroom accidentally caught alight.
The boy was visited several times by local fire safety officers after he dropped a lit match on the floor at his parents' home near Croydon, south London.
The toddler - who is seven years below the age of criminal responsibility - and another boy aged just four - were among 35 youngsters booked on the course following a spate of arson attack on their estate.
