A parents worst nightmare. We need to be so vigilant when kids are around hot things

Hopefully that will never happen again. How awful, Poor child.

Very scary and awful for the family but lucky the Mum was so quick and did the right things or it could have been a lot worse.

A terrible accident and horrific ordeal for the little one and must have been terrifying for everyone.

That is so scary. It could happen with any item of clothing. Kids really don’t understand how hot things are.

So scary you can’t take your eyes off them

Aw bless, poor Kieran ! Sorry but I think he looks too little to cook his own porridge.

I never hold a child or pet when I have food or drinks – hot or cold. When I sit at the table with them (which I mostly do) I usually sit in close enough that they can’t sit on me either. The dog has been trained too. If it does manage to get up it is told “no, get down”. I have asked visitors to not let children or pets get up of their own accord or pick them up at the table at all.

That’s terrifying

My worst nightmare! Glad he’s ok!

Pyjamas say highly flammable keep away from fire. So just to avoid confusion, the little boy was cooking his own porridge on the gas stove? I let my 3 and 5 yr olds “cook” but I take the pot off the flame for them to stir and I’m standing there holding the pot and reminding them it’s hot! This was so easily avoidable

It’s scary how many pyjamas are not fire safe. Most have big labels saying not fire safe which is scary!

A dreadful accident – hard to guard against them completely, so yes, it’s important to know wat to do if it happens.

It happens so fast
Poor little tyke.
