Family of tot left badly burnt by bleach at Scots nursery secure five-figure payout
The family of a tot who was left badly burned by bleach and boiling water after an accident at nursery have been handed a five-figure pay out for damages.
She said: "At the time I said this incident was indefensible and I still feel that way. There really was a sense that it shocked parents all over the country. Many people reached out with concern and support. The horrifying incident happened after staff left the bucket unattended on November 4, 2021. Blake's suffering worsened after staff at the nursery then covered him in paper towels which later ripped blisters from his skin.
She added: “Thankfully Blake has responded well to medical treatment but his recovery is not over. We still see some signs of emotional trauma, especially around water, but we’re hopeful he will calm over time and things can improve for him.
