Following the Advice of her Friend, Woman Scalds Toddler’s Hand While Trying to Stop her from Thumbsucking

A Facebook User, Enemuo Nneka shared disturbing photos of a toddler whose hand was badly burnt after her mother dipped it in hot water to stop her from thumbsucking.

Nneka said that the mother’s friend advised her to use water on the toddlers hand to stop her from sucking it.

“What a mother did to her daughter all because she wants to stop her from sucking her finger. Is that not madness of d highest order? People should please desist from listening to advice of ‘frenemies’ dat pretends to be friends. Hearts of men, the Bible said is desperately wicked. You don’t know if she harbors ill-feelings for you yet pretends to be a good friend. It was her friend that advised her to do such now see d result,” Nneka wrote.

Thankfully, from the photos shared, the child seems to be recuperating.
