and never put it next to something super flammable lol. Literally why candles and anything flammable has warnings. Sounds like shes too young to even have either lol
People also need to be very careful with hand sanitizer. Wasn't there a video a few years ago about a lady who used hand sanitizer and then she lit the candles on a birthday cake and caught herself on fire? I remember something like that.
@@sonicgalaxy27 I think she had sanitized her hands just before she lit the candles because she wanted to be sanitary when serving the cake. So scary!!
Do you have to read your nail polish remover for directions every time? Lol I’m sure most people have only ever looked it just long enough to read “nail polish remover” @@accioyoongi
I don't even allow my two boys to have candles in their room, let alone on the bed. I am glad she is ok. *Parents, please do a better job teaching your children about safety when using candles.*
This sounds harsh but this is an entire common sense situation. I understand there's a lot of things we may consider common sense that actually arent, we just got lucky with good guardians but... CANDLE ON A BED???
@@boopbooperson1654 exactly, I just wanna know what made her think it was ok to put a candle on her bed, and not just that but nail remover beside it, like what??
@@datgirlll._.luvvheartss I really hate to say it but I don't feel bad for her... it sucks that she'll have permanent scarring but at least she'll remember now. Every time she looks at it she'll remember fire safety. I can't believe she didn't think to stop drop and roll... and a candle on a bed??
I grew up using candles for light since I was a small child. It's all how you raised your children and how you teach your children. I also learned how to light fires in our fireplace and take care of an oil lamp. My parents never told me not to touch the hot stove but taught me how to check if I could touch the stove. I learned about fire,fire safety, how flammable different things where and what to do if there was a fire and how to smother a fire. I also learned the different ways fires could start. I know someone who's just finished drying towels Burst into flames in their basket.
Someone failed as a parent teaching fire safety. Everyone knows not to use acetone near an open flame- if you don't, it's your fault or your parents' fault for not informing you. It's literally written as a warning on all nail polish remover bottles. Secondly, it's common sense to never put a candle on a soft surface like a bed. This is why children cannot be unsupervised with open flames. Where the hell were her parents?!
Sometimes mistakes just happen 🤷 when I was a little kid (pre-teen and maybe 7 or so), my mother explicitly told me not to touch the lightbulb of my lamp because it was very hot and could burn me. And as only an inexperienced dumb kid can do, of course, one chilly night I decided to get my hands close anyway... And ended up touching it when I was startled by a noise shortly after! One hell of a burn blister. Despite knowing it was hot and not to touch it, the danger of putting my hands *near* the thing I shouldn't touch still didn't fully set in, and it was not as though my mother could monitor me 24/7. In my dumb kid head, I thought I had a safe distance, though the reality was different... Well, my lesson was certainly learned! Kids learn by experience more often than not, and though they may know in theory that something is bad or dangerous, it's not always something they think about in the moment. Common sense isn't innate but learned, and when we're young is usually when we make our most foolish mistakes... Some more than others! They might know nail polish remover is flammable and shouldn't be near open flames, but they don't really grasp the full scope of that danger, or what "being near" really means. Especially past a certain age (definitely as a teenager), kids get more independence and aren't likely to be under constant supervision, too. It's just something that happens when growing up, and while parents absolutely have a responsibility to teach their children and mitigate the possibility of an accident, it's simply impossible to intentionally avoid altogether forever. There's a factor of luck and chance in life that exists regardless of a parent's will. In this case, there definitely should have been a house rule about not lighting candles unsupervised, or at least a clear discussion about keeping it in a clear space on a stable surface... But we also don't have every fact, and it could very well be that this girl knew not to do it, but - without thinking deeply about the real potential consequences - decided that it'd be alright this once. I don't disagree with you entirely! But life is all about living and learning. Maybe their parents did fail in some way, or maybe this was just a bad stroke of chance and luck, but even the most attentive parent can't prevent the possibility of every problem. *Minor edit for a missed word!
@@bamflrShe's 14, a teenager. A person her age should've already know better not to put a lit candle near anything flammable, let alone on her bed. It's not a mistake, she just unknowingly looking for a trouble.
@@michelejackson7934 Some of us just have to learn the hard way, and that's why you've got trends like "lay down in the middle of the road" that persist until enough kids or their friends get run over for them to realize maybe it's not such a hot idea. 😭
Wow..I've been burned before when my brother dropped a pot pie right out of the oven onto my arm when I was 7 but nothing like these young ladies have experienced..I'm wishing them both a full recovery 💛
@drunkenhobo5039 instead of asking was she ok you ask "did you still eat the pie?" I guess you think that's supposed to be funny but that is a huge lack of empathy💀
@@lindseysanford184314 not 4. Lest we forget shes less than 4 years away from voting and driving and living on her own. Im guessing you were just like her huh? Bless your heart
@@lindseysanford1843At 14 I absolutely knew that nail polish remover (acetone and/or ethyl acetate) was flammable. I used to light small amounts of it on fire at that age, as young boys do. By the way, news flash: 14 year olds can read, so she should have seen the big red warning on the bottle.
There endless possible dangers in life that you wouldn’t even think to tell your kids. Like who thinks to tell their child “don’t have a candle on your bed while doing your nails.” Like who thinks of this! Accidents happen. I was not allowed candles in my room so that is a good pace to start but teens don’t always listen unfortunately
@@woefulmelancholy Imagine finding out your friend caught on fire or something and your first question is "Did you stop drop and roll?". There were other questions that could've been asked and she went straight to that one 💀
@@dravidianalchemist its possible her parents never went over fire safety with her. it sounds crazy but its common behavior for a lot of neglectful parents
I’d be embarrassed as absolute hell. I wouldn’t want anyone to know I’m that air headed lol even at 14 come on! There’s girls that have babies at that age and she’s setting herself on fire in the most preventable way. My mother would have killed me if I did something so stupid and careless lol
@@xobelladonna2443 nobody has kids at that age 😂 it was stupid mistake why u gotta be so serious she learnt her lesson and hope she has a speedy recovery.
I get SHES only 14 I’m soo happy that SHES alive and well . But plz explain too me why would u have nail polish and nail polish remover near an open flame 🔥 she’s old enough too know this is my question 🙋🏽♀️????
I'm sorry about the third degree burns and the girl's room all and am glad that she's ok, but even at 14, you should know better than to put candles on a bed, especially since beds can be more flammable than an average desk.
It's probably a very common misconception that "flammable liquid" just means it'll explode if the liquid itself touches fire, like pouring gasoline on a flame. Most people don't realize that the vapors can be the problem, not just the liquid itself
Reminds me of something stupid I did when I was that age. I thought I was scared when I took a piece of cotton soaked in nail polish remover off of the dresser and saw the paint taken right off. I was absolutely terrified of how my parents were going to react. I can't imagine how they would have reacted if they discovered I had a lit candle on my bed. Kids make mistakes. I'm glad it wasn't worse than it could have been and I hope she recovers fast!
Sorry for her this is terrible. Be cautious whenever there's fire near you. You can also try the nail polish pads. The cost is a bit more but it could be a bit safer.
My parents never allowed me to have a candle in my room growing up. My mom wouldn't even allow my sisters and I to use nail polish anything except in the washroom. Glad shes okay though, still a scary and painful experience. I want to know what her parents now have to deal with in the home. There's no way they're allowed to live inside it.
The liquid will NOT burn. It's ALWAYS the fumes that burn. The heat from the candle's flame causes the air to around the flame to rise. The air in the room moves toward the candle following the rising air. That air movement draws the acetone fumes toward the flame. Acetone is used to make acetylene gas. Acetylene gas is what welders use to burn through steel.
@@MeneTekelUpharsin omg i did not know EITHER were flammable im actually shocked as a smoke insidr and have 'balanced' candle on bed; im 23 and live alone too. Why do we not learn safety at school 🫣😭😭 im a straight A ex fosterkid with no parents and no common sense ; ive had sso micb alcohol about
I was thinking the same thing about the candle being on her bed.... Sounds & seems like if it hadn't been the Nail polish remover that caught on fire, it would have been the bedding/blankets🙄🤦♀️
How incredibly scary!!! No one would ever think twice about having a scented candle burning in their room while they were removing their nail polish… So glad she survived and more people need to know about this.
@@saulgoodman4597 at least you recognise it. My daughter and nephew's don't! But, there's always an exception to the rule!! Keep cultivating yourself. And always listen to 4 or 5 opinions on the same subject. At least!! From Lisboa Portugal,EU. Good to hear from you.
no they dont, boiling water spilled on my entire chest and i got second degree burns, she already healed, stop swearing in a youtube comment it doesnt make you the cool person
@@AdamThygerson-lm1gt~1st of all, I'm sorry to hear that you were burned so badly. I hope you're all healed up. 2nd of all, I'm not sure WHERE you THINK I swore in my comment. Bc HELL most certainly IS NOT A SWEAR WORD! Once you reach adulthood, you'll understand & comprehend what is considered a SWEAR WORD is in comparison to what CHILDREN consider to be a SWEAR WORD.
@@annalisegiovanni7032 google says it is, i dont care if you think in isnt but when that word id not used in the place that is opposite of heaven it is considered swearing by most people
@AccidentallyOnPurpose ~I didn't say that HER BURNS WERE SMALL! I was saying that EVEN the SMALLEST burns hurt extremely badly. Hence WHYYY I said "SO I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW HORRIFIC THIS WAS!!" So0o0o, you should reallyyyy be sure that you actually KNOW what ur talking about BEFORE you ATTEMPT to fix your mouth to try to correct anybody else!
Teach your children about fire safety. I really hope she recovers quickly. I have been extremely paranoid about fires. My best friend's house caught on fire when we were kids. Ever since then, I've been extra vigilant about fire safety. We don't do any open flames at all.
I suffered 3rd burns as well on my foot and couldn’t walk for months. I hope both girls continue to make a good recovery cause I know it’s not easy to get through. God bless them ❤
ok, i understand not knowing that the fumes from nail polish remover could start a fire if near a flame, because I didn't. mainly due to the fact i don't wear nail polish so no use for nail polish remover, and i don't light a candle unless there's a power outage; but having a candle ON YOUR BED is a big NO-NO, no matter what!
Inside Edition...I do enjoy your channel. That being said it is nice to see this type of content that could be helpful to someone; that could save someone pain or their life. I appreciate it during these times where there is so much sharing of unnecessary or private information wevdon't need to know about people. Thank You!❤
ok so this was just a 14yr old being careless and not a nail polish remover setting her on fire like the misleading title read smh. I'm sorry this isn't a normal mistake for a 14yr old to make, I would understand if she was 8 or younger and didn't know candles ON YOUR BED can catch fire. This isn't news, just a teen who lacks common sense
This is an example of what’s wrong with this era in my opinion, and it’s not to say im perfect, but it is to say something as simple as knowing fire away from bed and me is something even an ( in the most literal sense ) uncivilized animal would know.
@@MisaMisaIsOnTop oh wait your name is misa, I bet you want to be like her 😂 ( yes I was a teenager once I watched anime ) but it says a lot that that’s your name almost like it’s a character worth respect 😂
That poor kid, I'm real sorry that happened to her, but please, please be more careful from now on, I'm pleased you're doing better now ♥ I've dealt with Nail Polish remover before, but...I never used it next to an open flame...I'm probably one of those people who'd be afraid to go even near a battery operated candle in that situation.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I use candles and nail-polish remover together ALL THE TIME! I’m also going through a lot of life-changing loss and she is an inspiration for me.
I honestly never would've thought about the vapors catching fire.Liquid yes, vapors not so much. I dont ever remove my nail polish by candle light tho or put candles on my bed😂😅Super happy she's ok tho and takes this as a lesson ❤
Candle on the bed, trying to roll standing up and using a very flammable liquid near a flame was definitely all very dangerous decisions. I’m glad she is going to be okay.
Her parents failed teaching her common sense. First who the hell puts a candle on the bed? Then to have something flammable near it too? 🤦🏽♀🤦🏽♀🤦🏽♀🤦🏽♀
@@bradentheman1373ok, but the lit candle on the bed I mean come on. I get she's young but you should atleast know that putting a candle on a bed could be dangerous cause it could fall over on accident and set the bed on fire and things would have been much worse, so thank God that didn't happen. Even my 5-year-old brother knows not to have any flame near any furniture or anything. Plus she could have just gone to the bathroom and removed her nail polish there
I was bullied at school and had nail polish remover put on me then the bully set me on fire and I had burns on my hands arms and legs it hurt so bad a student turned the hose on that’s not allowed to be touched and sprayed me with water dousing the flames to put them out, it hurt so much and the student was saying “I know it hurts darl but I have to put the fire out” principal came out when the fire was already out and started yelling until he saw me covered in 3rd degree burns calling inside the office for an ambulance to come asap. I’m best friends with this student who put the fire out and she’s amazing
