Relative scalded 2-year-old girl with boiling water as punishment
In Tennessee, a relative used boiling water as a punishment for an 2-year-old girl, which caused severe child burns. Writes about this News Channel 9.
Rey County Sheriff's Office (RCSO) officers say the woman was arrested on charges of child abuse.
According to RCSO detective Rocky Potter, on August 11 the emergency service reported a girl with severe burns.
The girl’s mother Brittany Smith says a relative, Jennifer Vaughn, looked after Kaylee that day. Smith says that Vaughn called her in a panic, saying that Kaylee had been burned and asked her to come immediately. She says that Vaughn told her that she used boiling water to punish Kaylee because she had a "bad day."
“She admitted to what she did,” the girl’s mother said.
According to Detective Potter, the hospital called them “sock burns,” because the burns on her legs looked like a pair of socks. Doctors called the burns "nonrandom."
"When I saw them (the burn photos), they were just the worst burns I've ever seen," the detective said.

The little girl was taken to the burn department. The detective said the damage to the baby’s skin is so severe that the transplanted skin may not take root.
“This is wrong,” Smith said. “There is nothing in this world that 2-year-olds can do to deserve this kind of punishment, no matter how badly they behave.”
She was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse in accordance with state law, which makes it a Class A criminal offense (an offense punishable by a maximum of life imprisonment or death penalty).
At the moment, the girl is still in the hospital, her condition has improved, but surgery is ahead of her.
The site GoFundMe organized a campaign to help cover medical expenses for Kayleigh.
