Maybe make him volunteer to work with me at one of the shelters where people have been forced to stay. Make him donate some of his favorite toys and clothes to those displaced by the fire. The trick is not to replace them right away.
When you look at the miles and miles of devastation there really is no appropriate punishment for a child so young.
Good suggestion QT.
Actually, the cruelest thing would be to NOT punish him. Gawd. The kid must be having nightmares.
If some dumb fuck adult DOESN'T punish him, the child will be haunted his entire life. In fact, if I were the parent, he'd be on a circuit visiting schools and shelters. The kid has GOT to help out or his conscience will either (a) disappear, or (b) crush him to death.
Not LETTING kids be responsible breeds a lot of wrong.
ACTUALLY -- punishment is the wrong word. The right word is: MAKING AMENDS.
