Unhappy This is REALLY sad

Girl Dies Looking for Mom in Burning Home

STEELTON, Pa. - A 6-year-old girl who had escaped a house fire early Tuesday ran back inside to find her mother, not realizing the woman had jumped to safety from a second-floor window, police said.

The child never made it back out alive. Firefighters found the body of Da-Onah Watts under a bed on the second floor of the home, said Mayor Thomas F. Acri.

Da-Onah and an older cousin had been asleep on the first floor of the home when they awoke to flames about 12:30 a.m. and ran from the house, said Steelton Police Chief Kenneth Lenker.

The older girl, Nesha Barely, lost her grip on Da-Onah as they escaped, Lenker said. She didn't realize the child had run back inside until it was too late.

A neighbor summoned help, but the heat and flames were too intense for police or firefighters to get inside. The home was destroyed. Da-Onah's mother, Myiaa Smith, 26, survived.

A phone message seeking comment from the Dauphin County Coroner's Office on Tuesday morning was not immediately returned. Steelton, just outside Harrisburg, has about 5,700 residents.

"This little kid played in the neighborhood. We waved at her," Lenker said. "Everybody knew her. It's a tragedy."

I blame the mother. She did not properly teach her child what to do when/if there was a fire. And now she'll never live a normal life again (the mother). Traumatizing.

Because, a lot of the time, there IS someone to blame.

The child was way too young. If the mother drilled the safety precautions into the child's head, I'm sure the child would have been alive today.

I agree... but if there were people around watching it and then they let her back in then i would blame those people for letting the girl go back but if she was alone by no means is this the moms fault.

right...and you know that the mother didnt? or maybe she did and the little girl only wanted to help her mother and wasnt thinking about saftey. Or maybe we can blame the school too b/c dont schools teach fire saftey in class too??? i think the family should sue them... notttt... come on she died and that is bad enough no need to blame someone.. shit like this happens.. it was her time.. nuff said.

how do you know she didnt? no matter how much you drill it into someones head you cant prepare them for something like that. the kid acted on her instinct and theres no one to blame for that.

I don't. Read on, though. If the mother truly taught her, she would have let her know that the main priority was to get out alive, first. "We meet outside at this safe point". That's the proper way of handling a fire. I used to be a volunteer firefighter and visited a few pre-schools to teach about fire safety. The parents of the children were there and we all went over proper precautions and plans that keeps everyone safe. Responsible parents would have followed up and went over this with their children time and time again. If the children didn't know anything about fire safety by the age of 6, the parent has failed.

I didn't get into that because that's a whole 'nother topic. What's to say that the child even attended school? There are many at fault, in the long run, so I can't call who contributed most to the death. However, it's not uncommon to see bad parenting causing the death of children.

On the contrary. You CAN prepare someone. That's why people go over fire safety. It's saved many lives since teaching has begun (by the state and local fire departments).

Dang my parents must of sucked, we never had a fire plan. I would guess the majority of families dont go over a plan incase there is a fire in the house.

I was one of those guys. You can guess three times.



Anyways, this is very sad but if you want bad news, take a closer look at Africa.

not all kids are the same dude. how do you know she didnt try and teach her and she still went against it? its not always the parents fault for what their child does.

but again not even the child is to blame, it was a primal instinct. she was attatched to her mother and did everything she could to try and save her. thats something you cant unlearn.
