An 11-month-old was left with first and second-degree burns on his palms after he was allegedly allowed to crawl in an outdoor area at his preschool unsupervised. The infant's mother, Aresha Krishnan told AsiaOne on Thursday (March 28) that the incident occurred on March 18, at about 1.15pm. CCTV footage from the preschool, located in East Coast, showed that her son was left unsupervised and had crawled to the school's outdoor play area at the backyard, which was under direct sunlight. The staff in charge of the boy was busy cleaning the diaper changing table at that time, she said. He was likely burnt from touching the astroturf, or the surface of the slide, which was «scorching-hot», said Aresha in a Facebook post on Wednesday (March 27). «The staff was negligent,» she wrote. She told AsiaOne she received a WhatsApp message from one of the teachers informing her that the boy was injured that afternoon. «We were shocked and horrified as the pictures looked like he was burnt quite badly,» said the 40-year-old who works in a tech company.
