A 10-year-old boy who lives on Montreal’s south shore is recovering after he was badly burned after boiling water was thrown on him from a neighbour’s balcony.
The side of the fourth grader’s face and his body remain scorched from the incident where a woman is accused of attacking him last week. Global News is not revealing the child’s identity to respect his privacy.
“I was trembling,” the boy said in an interview inside his home in Longueuil, Que., on Wednesday. “It really hurt. It was burning.”
The boy’s father was working at home when his son rushed inside on Oct. 2, yelling “Papa! Papa!” The father turned and saw scalding burns across his child’s body.
The boy had walked through the lawn on his way home from school with friends. They were unharmed, and the child alleged he was the only one who was targeted with scalding water.
