Father hit with charges after toddler gets sunburn
A man in Kentucky has been charged with criminal abuse after he allegedly let his 2-year-old play outside in 95 degree heat for 90 minutes with no sunscreen or shirt. Not surprisingly, the toddler got a severe sunburn.
The boy was diagnosed later with second-degree burns and golf-ball size blisters after his mother picked up the boy from Jones and took him to a hospital for medical attention.
Authorities allege Jones did not take adequate care to ensure his son’s safety.
Jones mother disputes the severity of the sunburn, “He ain’t burned that much bad,” she said. “It was just a little red that day.”
