A young boy was left sleeping in a burning house while his grandmother rescued the family dogs instead.
British grandmother Mandy Hands, 45, had forgotten her visiting grandson was asleep upstairs when she rushed to save her four greyhounds in the fire, The Daily Mail reports.
Firefighters were later able to save 11-year-old Curtis from the house, in England's mid-west, but his grandmother is guilt-stricken over her actions.
"I can't get over the fact I left my grandson in bed," Mrs Hands said.
"He's visiting from Portsmouth and I was panicking so much trying to get everyone out that I forgot he was in here.
"I never even checked on him."
The fire broke out on Monday morning, believed to be the result of a faulty plastic toaster which Mrs Hands' husband had used that morning.
Mrs Hands woke up when she noticed smoke in her bedroom and managed to get her 16-year-old son and the family dogs to safety.
She noticed her grandson's absence once she was safe outside.
"It was only when we were outside and someone said 'Is there anyone else in there?' that I remembered him, but no one could get back in," she said.
Firefighters arrived on the scene and were able to locate Curtis and carry him outside.
The family were all taken to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.
The house was fitted with a fire alarm but it had run out of batteries

My immediate reaction:
1. I can imagine myself doing this.
2. Who has a plastic toaster?
3. Mr. Hands will never be allowed in the kitchen again, and he'd damn sure better pick up some batteries.
4. Grammy Hands doesn't have to worry about her kids asking her to babysit again.
Bahahahaha......and I bet he will never let her live it down either!!!!! (thinking of the dogs first that is
I guess that's one way of getting out of babysitting.

but 4 greyhounds takes some saving... and yet she couldn't save her own hymen?
but they breed them young up there in Coventry.. at aged 11 the boy could look after himself probably... i mean he probably has 3 kids of his own.. who was looking after them?
and you can tell she's a scumbag who'll be buried in a Y shaped coffin when you read it on the news here... she didnt replace the batteries from her smoke detectors, probably because she needed the batteries for her vibrators... the family have no home contents insurance .. which costs about £10 per month! still.. that £10 a month was probably being spent on something useful like food for 4 fucking dogs!
This is much better, thank you.
i for one
love dunk.
dunk for president elect, yes/no?
dunk for fire chief of the world, yes/no?

Dunk for president of the WWF, as well as acting Global Fire Marshall.
this is unprecedented.

He will have his own athletic shoe and trading cards.

My apologies... this is the "Dunkman"
when mick hucknall goes for his morning jog i would think he wears the "dunkman" shoe.

also, those shoes will make dunkman very fast when he's the president elect of the WWF & acting global fire marshall.
fast shoes, thank god for dunkman.

I would think they should be blue and white? Maybe green because they are biodegradable?
Now just a moment, sir. I didn't see any evidence that the four dogs were, in fact, fucking at any time.
that the shoes disappear to fast for their liking.
dunkman shoes,,, very quick.
blue & white shoes, sure.
i think they come in any color the wearer likes.
also, the most popular color being "invisible."
"Hear me, my chiefs!

sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight

Chief Joseph - Nez Perce
I have about 37 pairs of invisible shoes I have misplaced over the years.
OMFG!!! someone alert the media... someone didnt have home contents insurance. cant imagine how this is a measure of a person.
