As boy catches fire people start filming rather than help
The mother of an eight-year-old boy who caught on fire has expressed her disgust after people started filming him rather than helping.
Willtrivius King said adults stood motionless doing nothing after her boy Sanquon accidentally set himself on fire while playing with a lighter outside his housing units in the US state of Atlanta.
“How can you do that, just to watch?” she told Atlanta’s Channel 2 News.
“Like grown people standing watching and not trying to help. That’s cruelty to kids. You don’t do kids like that.”
He is now in a critical condition with burns to more than 38 percent of his body.
The video shared to social media showed Sanquon running around screaming for help, where one woman can be heard telling him to “lay down in the grass and roll”.
Covington police said no one is expected to be charged over the incident.
