“If yuh play with fire, yuh gonna get burn” is a term that two-year old Akeem Thomas of Region Seven is not yet able to comprehend. He therefore continued to play around a burning garbage heap despite his mother’s warning.
According to Felicia Cummings, she was on her way to remove the child from near the fire when he stumbled and fell palms down on the burning heap. He was unable to get up and by the time his mother rushed to his assistance, there were materials stuck onto his right palm.
“When I picked him up, I tried to brush off the stuff that was in his hand, but it just mek it worst. The whole skin from inside his hand just tear off.”
The child was treated at a health facility in Region Seven before being transferred to the Georgetown Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he was treated at the Accidents and Emergency (A&E) Unit before being admitted to the Children’s Ward there.
The woman added that a Pediatrician of (GPHC) has said that while the child would be fine, his palm will take a while to heal.
