ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. – We had a kid blowing himself up in the home of his stoner parents the other day, today we got a kid setting himself in the home of his stoner parents. In this case, a 2-year-old boy used a lighter to set his clothes on fire. When police arrived at the home of Wesley Kieth Faucette, 30, and Shannon Gaddy Faucette, 28, they found the boy suffering from third-degree burns on the upper portion of his body. They also found marijuana and drug paraphernalia on a night stand. The couple have been charged with negligent child abuse and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia while their son was taken to UNC Hospital Burn Center in Chapel Hill. I am very familiar with this place. They took great care of one of my relatives a while back and the boy is in good hands. But as anyone who has spent time in a burn unit as a visitor, they are as much an eye-opener as they can be a nightmare inducer.
