A lot of messed-up stories in the past 11 months, but this one is a strong runner for the "WTF?" award of the year.
ETA: I didn't watch the video at first. Yes, they have that quote ON TAPE. jfc...

for posterity here's the quote:
The children’s aunt, Marilyn Wilson, who left the house with the mother, said she had no regrets about leaving the children home alone, “No, I really don’t because if they had been there by themselves, I don’t know if the boys set the house on fire or somebody threw something in there to set it on fire. I really need to get in there to see if my purse burned up. I had my Food Stamp Card and everything in there.”
that's just messed up! >:(

just watched the video.... she said she needed to get in and see if her purse burned up and said it with a laugh...
the only thing I can say- is that this comment is edited to tack on to the end of her comment about not regretting leaving the boys alone...
still its a horrible thing but at least she didn't say it all as one continuous thought as I initially presumed
