Wisconsin mother facing charges after eight children die in home fire
In Park Falls Wisconsin authorities said they will file child neglect charges against 38 year old Ardeta Klein after eight children aged from 2 to 10 burned to death in a frigid pre dawn fire. The mother was found fleeing the burning frame house and nabbed by the sheriff. The father was at a lumber camp. Six children died in beds and two near a kitchen doorway. Fire officials said the blaze likely began from an overheated oil burner. The children will be buried in a single casket Tuesday.
