Gosh how bad were the burns?
How did he get a hold of such hot soup?
Doe she know any basic first aid ??
*like running cold water on most burns right away- (not on open burns) will stop the spreading of the heat to deeper tissues?
If child is fairly young maybe keeping pan handles turned away from front of stove & baby proofing is needed.
These are the questions I would ask if my grandson got burned bad enough to need prescriptions..
Were they very angry with each other before this? - but she really should have told the father when his child gets burned that badly..
And was he more mad about the money or the child being hurt?
Many a custody case or child services get involved when injuries start happening..
