Three family members are facing charges in connection with a house fire that resulted in the death of a one-year-old child in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. The tragic incident occurred on September 13th, when the child's grandmother, who is unable to navigate stairs, was the sole adult present in the home with four young children.
According to police reports, the fire was ignited by a four-year-old child playing with a lighter. The parents of the deceased child and the grandmother have been charged with child endangerment. The charges were filed last week, marking a somber development in the aftermath of the tragic incident.
The names of the individuals involved have not been released, and it is unclear at this time what penalties they may face if convicted. The case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of leaving young children unsupervised with potentially hazardous items.
