Bentley Slaughter 
I just learned that a little five year old boy has been killed in a fire on Whiteoaks Blvd. in Oakville. The fire occurred at 2 a.m.
My heart was in my throat as I heard the news on the radio and I called my girlfriend who lives in that block of townhouses. She was in great distress, as were all the neighbours.
It was her little son's best friend who was killed. Bentley oftentimes ate at their place, and visited almost every day with his friend, Greg. These two little five year old boys were inseparable.

Bentley was so proud, he had had his hair braided specially for Christmas and was over to show his pal how he looked just yesterday. He was looking forward to getting some Christmas presents and told little Greg that he had one for him.
When my friend woke up in the morning and looked outside, she saw fire trucks and police cars in front of her door.
She learned that the mother had been transferred to Hamilton General Burn Unit with severe burns. At that stage, the dog was still missing but later on he turned up at my friend's door.

It is my understanding that the mother, the child and the dog lived alone in that townhouse.
Such a tragedy.
Such a tragedy.

I cannot believe it has been 4 years already and it still seems like yesterday. Our dear Bentley.
Hi everybody, it is Bentley's cousin Natasha, I have more tragic news. My cousin Kim (Bentley's mom) passed away this evening. She is up in heaven with her son now. Please pray for my Aunty to find strength during this time.
