Arsonist firebombs mum's car as her young children slept just yards away

This is the terrifying moment an arsonist fire-bombed a woman’s car as her young children slept just yards away.

Nataliee Simpson says her three young sons have been left traumatised after the man smashed the windows of her silver Peugeot and set it alight.

The blaze even spread to nearby hedges, which are attached the family home in Dewsbury Moor, meaning her young family’s safety were put at risk.

Nataliee, 25, said the blaze on Tuesday night last week followed a recent spate of car fires in the area which have been done “out of spite” due to ongoing unrest in the community.

“My children’s school uniforms, pram and birth certificates were in the car at the time and have been destroyed,” said full-time mum Nataliee.

Her eldest son Dylan, seven, witnessed the fire and has been waking up screaming after having nightmares.

Nataliee, who also has four-year-old Zack and Harris, one, says the culprit “doesn’t deserve the oxygen they breathe.”

She said: “There has been an ongoing dispute in the area and as a result people’s cars have been set on fire. It’s not been anything to do with me so it just feels even more senseless.
