WOMAN REVEALS HER 9-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER SUFFERED HORRIFIC BURNS TO 20% OF HER BODY AFTER KNOCKING SCALDING BOTTLE WARMER OVER HERSELF AT DAYCARE
A mother-of-three has revealed how her nine-month-old daughter was severely burnt after knocking a scalding bottle warmer over herself at daycare. The boiling water left Addison Starnes, now one, with horrific second and third-degree burns which covered 20% of her body. She was hospitalised for more than three weeks and endured three surgeries. Thankfully, four months on, Addison is recovering well. Now, her mum, Ariel Starnes, 25, from North Carolina, US, is speaking out to raise awareness of burns survivors.
