ORLANDO -- A Volusia County boy set himself on fire and his mom is blaming a video he saw online for what happened.

Russell Gortzig, 13, of Deltona says he and his friends were hanging out looking at videos online when they found a video of a guy setting himself on fire. Sunday night, they actually re-enacted what they had seen.

Russell is in the hospital with second and third degree burns and lucky to be alive.

"A mother's fear, that I couldn't help him, I didn't know what to do, I couldn't take it away," said Russell's mother, Linda McCrea.

McCrea says she'll never forget the phone call when she found out her son was severely burned or seeing him in so much pain.
