What should happen to this kid - Caliornia wildfires?

This is a terribly difficult call. We don't know what this child is like and what kind of family he comes from. Is he normally a good kid who have made a mistake, or is he a troubled child who may be trying to wiggle out of an occurrence he thought was cool? I can honestly say looking back I did some pretty stupid things as a 9 or 10 year old and I have a grandson who is the same age and does some pretty stupid things even with supervision. Once I stuck my finger in a light socket; another time we were playing with firecrackers putting them in cans and lighting them; and I do remember also a couple of times playing with matches. I wasn't a bad kid, I was unsupervised and on my own after school for a couple of hours. I had siblings and occasionally we just got bored and had nothing to do. My parents were terribly strict and had they found out I would have been black and blue from the beatings my father would have given me. So while I think what has happened with the fires is a terrible, horrible thing, I couldn't determine what the punishment should be. Imagine as a child having to live with that for the rest of your life. That would to me be sheer hell. As I grow older I feel more guilty about the things I have done in the past, and only wish I could go back and relive some of my life and make changes. This child has a long life to live with remorse.
