A North Carolina mother was detained last week for allegedly assisting her  teen son  in a crazy fire challenge.

Janie Lachelle Talley, 41, was put behind bars for filming her son while he set himself alight.

She has been booked with contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile after police say she filmed her son as he doused himself in fingernail polish remover on July 29 as part of the viral 'fire challenge' online video craze.

The boy suffered minor burns on his chest and neck as other people watching his stunt-gone-wrong managed to tamp out the flames.

'[Talley] was present and aware of what her son (was) doing and facilitated the recording,' police said in a statement that went out following Talley's Wednesday arrest.

After days-long investigation, social services officials learned about the video, which was posted to Facebook despite the boy's injuries.

Police then watched the video for themselves, and arrested Talley.
