i’ll post the same comment here as I did the forums…i cried thursday night in anatomy and Physiology class because we were talking about burns and the professor showed a picture of a child..baby really..with 3rd degree burns on 99% of her body..the child in the photo was dead..it broke my heart..the hideous burns that covered this child..her skin all but not existant..you could see almost clear to her bones in some places
burns are the most painful injury anyone can receive..this poor baby..all because mom was too complacent to take a millisecond to dip her hand in the water..
throw some scalding water on her, i say…maybe shell feel one-tenth of what her precious baby had to go through

when my baby was yeah about 10 months old and apparently he thought the water was too hot…felt ok to me however I am not the best judge I loooove super hot showers…..let me tell ya the minute his foot hit the water he practically jumped onto my back crying bloody murder…and this water was no where near 140 fucking degrees. needless to say he will now only take semi cold water baths any kind of warmth and forget it.
I really hope the baby heals okay

I call bullshit on this not being intentional…can water out of a faucet even reach 140 degrees? It seems it’d have to be boiled on the stove

I’ve accidentally had the water too hot for my kids before and the yelling HOT and the crawling out of the tub was a real tip off to this. I don’t think water comes out of the tap at 140. I shower with no cold water turned on and my skin has yet to dangle off any part of my body. It had to be boiled. And she had to have been HELD into the water for that kind of damage to happen. Even at 140 that’s not going to happen in just a second or two. I feel sorry for that poor baby.

I am a burn victim. I had 3rd degree burns and still have an ugly scar that is usually what people look at when they first meet me. I can tell you that burns are the most painful of injuries a person/child can receive. My 3rd degree burn is from boiling water. I bet you everything that so is this child.
I hope they take her baby and the unborn one away from her…forever.

if she lives in the “projects” the water temp isn’t regulated and it gets very hot. someone once held my lil cousins hands under tap water she suffered 3rd degree burns. and a former sitter of my burn my lil girl in the tub. 3rd degree burns for her too. this woman is an idiot..plain and simple.

Seems she would have had to hold that baby down in the water, despite her anguished screams, for that much skin damage to occur. The baby would have let her know right off the bat that something was wrong. I think she’s more of a sadist than an idiot.

Donnishia had to have purposely “boiled” the infant, why lie, if it was all an accident? Dayum, that’s vicious! And she is pregnant, with another?
Poor baby/babies! Even if, by a miracle the burned infant survives the toil of this trauma physically, psychologically, she may never! So very sad!

First things first… test your water temperature
You don’t need a special thermometer for this… a cooking thermometer will work just fine! The gauge on the one shown at left starts at 130 degrees.
No brain surgery here… put the thermometer in a deep glass (keep the gauge dry) and fill it with hot water direct from the tap. Be sure to run the water till it is fully hot.
How hot should your hot water be?
According to the US Department of Energy, a temperature of 120 degrees at the tap is adequate for most household chores with a minimal danger of scalding and maximal energy efficiency. However, that is the temperature at the tap, not in the tank. Tank temperature should be no less than 130 degrees to prevent bacterial growth, such as Legionnaires disease.
The only appliance that requires a hotter water is the dishwasher, with a recommended temperature of 140 degrees or higher for proper disinfection and cleaning. Since most dishwashers pre-heat the water to the proper temperature, lowering the setting of your water heater will have no effect. However, if you have turned the pre-heating function of your dishwasher off, you should turn it back on!
Lowering the temperature too much can have unintended consequences. You will need to use more heated water to obtain the same temperature at the faucet or shower. Thus, if your tank currently gives your family three showers in the morning, you might find the last person screaming!!
———————–
Adjusting tank-type electric water heaters…
The temperature of an tank-type electric water heater is controlled by a thermostat. The thermostat has a visible scale and is adjustable by turning the control to the desired temperature. The typical thermostat control is adjusted by using a screwdriver. Remember… the recommended minimum temperature is 130 degrees!
The thermostat is concealed behind a metal plate and may also be covered with insulation. TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE REMOVING THE PLATE. This is important… there may be exposed high voltage wires under the cover.

At my House, the bath has a [1]Delta knob that rotates counterclockwise off is at 6 oclock and fully on is at 10 oclock. I/we turn the knob fully on until the water gets hot then adjust to appox 1 or 2 oclock (a good warm mix).
I have started the water for a bath/shower and left the room oodles of times By the time I returned there’s the first inch or 2 in the tub (and that happens without even pulling the stopper up – even if it is only at the drain end, I’ve step in to pull the thingy for the shower, Having stuck only my feet/toes immediately do my “ouch ouch” dance, move back/get out.
My point, I have more respect and concern for others, especially children then I do for myself. NO way in hell would I plop a child into that tub.

My gut feeling it wasn’t the fan she just didn’t want to admit to it and blame it on the cell phone. Distraction !!!

I call all the asshats I feature up here tards, among other things. Not meant to be offensive to anyone other than the tards I write about.

Hasn’t she ever heard of the ducky with the “hot” label on the bottom. It changes color if it’s too hot. Duh!
Evil bitch!
