In chemistry forum guidelines the text includes a statement concerning dangerous/illegal activities.

The prohibition on illegal activities should be self-evident and obvious.
Regarding dangerous activities, PF restricts, prohibits and otherwise discourages 'dangerous' activities. Case in point:

Parental supervision may be insufficient, as noted in this incident, where the mother was badly burned as well.
Folks in industry and government laboratories receive training before engaging in potentially dangerous activities. Such activities require planning and implementation of procedures for handling hazardous materials. Proper attire is also required.
Even with training, accidents may occur due to lack of oversight, complacency and/or failure to observe proper procedures.

The mother and son require several surgeries.He’s burned on about 50 percent of his body, and my understanding is that about 20% of those are third-degree and 30% are second-degree,” McKim said. “Fortunately, he was wearing protective glasses, which certainly helped, but he was wearing a synthetic shirt, which ended up being a real contributor in the fire staying and trying to get that off as it kind of melted away with the accelerant on there.”
Caroline has already undergone one surgery and is scheduled for another this week. Barrett was in surgery for about four hours on Tuesday, McKim said, and likely has several others ahead.
