Boiling water lands on toddler

Jul 08, 2009 News

Doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital are battling to save the life of a 20-month-old baby who was almost cooked when a pot of boiling water fell on him yesterday morning.
The toddler, Brandon Emanuel John, of 20 North Haslington, East Coast Demerara, was rushed to the hospital by his mother, Joy John.
John told this newspaper that she was cooking rice when she left the baby in the kitchen to attend to a customer.
The woman said that she went outside to sell ice when the incident occurred.
According to the woman when she got back into the house she noticed the pot on the floor and her son screaming.
She said that she immediately rushed the child to the hospital where he was treated and subsequently admitted.
However the woman could not say how the pot fell on the child. She said it could be that the child climbed up on a bucket that was close to the stove or that it was her other son who pulled the pot off the stove.
Up to late yesterday afternoon the police was still questioning the mother.
