man that is so sad for that kid. you could only hope that he would recover well because he is so young

So tragic – hope he isn’t scarred for life like my mum was. Wishing you all the best.

Unfortunately in a caravan some things are not up as high as they are in a house. Stoves etc. are not as deep from the back of it or as tall. There is not much space to move around in a caravan either. I suspect the toddler may be in hosptial for a few weeks yet, especially as they are living in a caravan – not in a house where he can be quarantined in one room so he can’t catch infection from other family members. The parents initially had to wear special gowns etc. to reduce the risk of infection. I know of a similar case – but it happened in a rental house (littlie stood up on tippy toes for the first time hitched one finger in the handle pulled a hot teapot down on top of himself) from a narrow bench.

How sad. Poor little Hunter.
I wish him a speedy recovery

The kids are without a mum or a DAD. This happened in my town and as far as anyone knows there was no history of DV. We are a farming community and we have guns. If it wasn’t a gun it would have been something else.

That poor wee boy. Sadly, these horrific accidents can happen so quickly. My then 14 month old son pulled a hot bowl of soup over himself and got burnt from his top lip down to his naval, arm and foot. Thankfully I acted fast and covered him in water before calling for an ambulance. He now has two scars on his collar bone but could’ve been worse. I hope this child recovers as well as mine did

poor little guy, hope he recovers enough to go home soon!

How tragic. Why weren’t these parents watching their child near a boiling kettle?

Oh no, poor little mite! Wishing him a speedy recovery. A holiday to remember for all the wrong reasons

The poor little boy,a terrible accident for any-one!

Boiling water is such nasty stuff. I have big scars all over my arm from a boiling water burn 20 years ago. Such an awful thing for a toddler to go through.
