  "account": "Mission, B.C. police are cautioning parents about the resourcefulness of children after two incidents involving young boys last week. On September 18, a seven-year-old managed to start a small fire inside his home by connecting a blow torch to a propane cylinder he found. The fire department responded and extinguished the blaze. Earlier that same day, a four-year-old boy climbed into his parents’ Cadillac Escalade, used the keys to start it, and drove it into two parked cars nearby. Although no one was injured, the RCMP indicated that parents should examine their homes for potential hazards to minimize risks.",
