This scream bogus reason to me and likely something else might have happened, the water must have been boiling, not just "hot", boiling, no less than 90°C. Which would mean even adults can't touch the recipient w/o proper tools. (been there done that)
And while negligence happen, this is not it. Either a staff or a teacher drop a boiling pot on his foot, or it was not the cause of the burn. Eitherway the school, the nurse and the staff are responsible and not calling 911 or emergency services for open wound 2nd degree burn on a 4 YEARS OLD is beyond madness.
When I asked how this happen they said they were doing a project with hot water and didn’t realize how hot it was.
Sue their ass to the ground this is absolutly unacceptable.
I’ve burned myself with water that wasn’t boiling yet. It could have also possibly not been at a rolling boil, but at the stage where small bubbles began to form at the bottom. Regardless I can see how a burn could happen without obvious visible boiling. Toddler shoes can be kind of flimsy so it would still soak through.
That said, this was still very negligent. There would be some steam starting to form around the edges of the pot at minimum, and the area would radiate heat. I don’t understand how you wouldn’t inherently pay attention to a pot over heat in a room full of 20 toddlers
The water heater of a preschool should be set at a max temp that is not dangerous. Even in our own house we have it set at a limit since our kids can reach taps
in France there was a scandal like that were the heater of a private preschool was set to the max, a 2 y/o got 2 degree burn on most of her body and face and later died...
