For moms with young children, leaving their child behind to be cared for by complete strangers can be extremely difficult, but they do it knowing that they are in safe hands, which is why an Ontario mom didn’t get too concerned when her 7-year-old came home from school with a bad sunburn.
The 7-year-old’s mom, who chose to stay anonymous, was slightly annoyed that her son got such bad sunburns on the backs of his legs, but she became extremely worried when the ‘sunburn’ started getting rapidly worse. What started as some red marks on his legs and butt, quickly turns into blistering and oozing red bubbles that made it too painful for the little boy to wear clothes.
The bad ‘sunburn’ turned out to be second-degree chemical burns that he got after using the school’s toilet that had been cleaned with an abrasive disinfectant. “The first couple days were really, really, really bad,” mom said. “He couldn’t go to the bathroom without putting a towel on the outside of the toilet seat so that it was soft on his [butt].”
For nearly two weeks, the 7-year-old had to be kept from school to let the burns heal enough.
Now, mom is suing the school district for $250,000 to warn parents after her son was burned with ED Everyday Disinfectant, and another child within the school district recieved similar burns after using a toilet that had been cleaned with harsh chemicals. “It’d be a shame if it happened to anybody’s child.”
