CERTIFIED HOSEHEAD!!!

people (especially women) do not give ONE DAMN about what they inflict on children and I defy anyone to prove me wrong

Dysfunctional relationships almost always have a child. The more dysfunctional, the more children.

The selfish wants of adults outweigh the needs of the child.

Some mistakes cannot be fixed, but some mistakes can be 'fixed'.

Adoption agencies have strict criteria (usually). Breeders, whose combined IQ's would barely hit triple digits, have none.

I call shenanigans on the moo's story. First of all, aren't water heaters regulated so they can't produce water that hot? For precisely this reason-- because people somehow know how to bathe themselves, but not their children? How hot does water have to be to give you third degree burns?

Worse than that, though, the kid has other injuries and wasn't taken to the hospital for a day.

This was deliberate.

They are supposed to be voluntarily 'set' at 120 (the maximum allowed) by manufacturers, but many had not and the range of temperatures can run from 90 to 190F.

Wow, I thought they were hobbled at the factory to prevent that! Yikes.

I still think the moo is lying, though. The "other injuries," along with waiting 24 hours to seek attention for third degree burns, just screams abuse to me. :/

Yup, I agree with the above comments. That poor kid is probably suffering like Hell, and will have scars for life because of inattentive moo. Something tells me she wasn't just inattentive, though. Her response to what happened makes me think she wanted her kid to die.

my hot water is too hot to hold hand under. but it isn't anywhere near 190

Not hobbled at the factory, but a lot of landlords set them low and forbid tenants adjusting them to avoid just this type of problem. Fortunately the places I've lived haven't had those rules, and after moving in I'd crank up the hot water temp, as they seemed to set it in the tepid range.

That poor wee kid. I hope she loses custody. Young patients can heal up pretty well, but he's gonna be affected for life.
