Mother jailed for 'helping son set himself alight' to post online in viral fire challenge craze

A North Carolina mother was arrested last week after allegedly assisting her 16-year-old son as he set himself on fire.
   
Janie Talley, 41, has been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile after police say she filmed her son as he doused himself in fingernail polish remover July 29 as part of the viral 'fire challenge' online video craze.

The boy sustained minor burns on his chest and neck as other people watching his stunt-gone-wrong managed to tamp out the flames.

Janie Talley is not being a parent, she is being a friend of her son. She is an enabler. What kind of parent allows their children to do such stupidity like this? So wrong at every levels. :mental:

You know the best part? He swears at about :35 and shortly after his mother tells him to watch his mouth. Priorities.
