Baby burned by oil
I have had four kids, none of which, at age 1, would have been able to climb
on top of the stove to pour oil over themselves. Is there an epidemic of stupid, irresponsible, negligent or sometimes downright criminal people breeding more lately? -ginny Allentown, PA Morning Call - Last Updated: June 5, 2007 Toddler, 1, Badly Burned by Hot Oil from Stove Allentown, PA A 1-year-old toddler burned nearly half his body with hot cooking oil Monday night when he tipped a pan off the stove in his Allentown home, police said. The burns appear to be accidental but police are investigating, which is customary, said Ronald Manescu, assistant police chief. It happened about 10:20 p.m. in an apartment at 738 Gordon St., Manescu said, without giving the victim's name. Someone in the home was preparing to cook french fries and heated the pan of oil, Manescu said. The 1-year-old climbed on the stove and tipped the handle of the pan, splashing himself with hot oil. He was burned over 40 percent of his body, Manescu said. He said it appears the toddler will recover from his burns. |

He just got a lesson in hot oil too. |

He walked on his 10-month birthday, ran two weeks later, and could easily climb out of his playpen. Parents were negligent in this case, though. Sadly, this sort of incident happens quite frequently. -L. |

Yes, you could say that in a way my parents were negligent. But they were so vigilant with everything else and it is amazing what small children and animals can get into, onto and around. Luckily the scalding coffee missed my face and head and all I have left are some faint scarring on my right arm and tummy. Not saying the parents aren't at fault, just saying that they aren't necessarily at fault. Lisa aka Pagemaster |

Does everybody dig up horrific news items and post them here? Awful
things happen every day, and they always have. The local news just wasn't broadcast (until recently) for all the world to sift with one's favorite search engine. Post to alt.dead-baby or something.

My oldest daughter started walking at nine months and was running around and climbing pretty well by 11 months. If there had been a step-stool by the stove, she could have easily climbed onto it and then been able to reach the handle of a pot sitting on the stovetop. Mary |

They don't call it "dope" for nothing, and "booze" rhymes with "wooze" for a reason. Also, cooking accidents and hot & nasty food safety issues are, indeed relevant to this group. The originator did a great job by writing a descriptive topic which makes it easy to pass over the topic if we don't want to read the details. Thank you verry much. Elvis-ettta has left the room. |

No one can keep a child, especially a toddler, out of harm's way 100% of the time. This is one reason I never, ever, leave the kitchen when I have anything hot on the stove. That being said, a toddler is quick and turning your back for a second, for example, to throw something away, can be enough time for them to pounce and get hurt on something. Then there are the cases where kids have abilities that you don't know they have. My kid locked me outside of my own house at 11 months. -L. |

Where > were the ones making the french fries at the time? > -ginny Technically he tipped the handle and splashed himself. But yes, where was the person who was heating the oil? Even without kids around I very rarely walk off and leave oil heating on the stove. It's too easy to become distracted. Jill Jill |
