2-year old child dies from scald from water boiled for tea
23 May 2010My heart goes out to the parents and family of a 2-year-old American boy, who tragically died last Wednesday as the result of a scalding burn. His arm, neck and torso were scalded four days earlier, when the boy was reaching for a tumbler of hot water that had been boiled to prepare tea. Doctors now research the results from microbiology and toxicology tests to conclude how the scald could develop into a fatal.
Since I started my MummyMug adventure in 2007, I have come across study after study that repeat the same message: scalds from hot drinks are frequent and cause serious injury in children.
But this is the first case of a hot water scald injury resulting in death that I have ever seen reported. Should this unnecessary accident in spite of all precautions you take happen in your home: please — take the advice to see the doctor if the scald is larger than a poststamp. Let’s make sure we never have reason to publish a piece of news like this one again.
