Here is a particularly off-putting story from the 12th about a man being charged with abusing his child by over exposure to the sun! Read on for a synopsis or read the whole story here.
“Bobby J. Jones, 27, is charged with criminal abuse for allegedly allowing his son to sustain a severe sunburn. The boy received second-degree burns…
Police say Jones’ 2-year-old son was outside for an hour and a half Sunday with no apparent sun protection.
The child had golf ball-sized blisters on his shoulders when his mother came to retrieve him from Jones’ home. He was also burned on his face, chest, back and stomach, police say.
The mother took the child to the police department, then to Pattie A. Clay Hospital in Richmond, where the boy was treated and discharged.”
There is a pretty terrifying image of the kids blisters here if you haven’t looked at the full story yet.
