Toddler badly burnt: Suspect out on R500 bail | News Article

Mmabatho - A 39-year-old woman who allegedly burned a two-year-old girl with hot water appeared in the Mmabatho Magistrate's Court today.

She was granted R500 bail and will appear in court again on January 23.

North West police spokesperson Sabata Mokgwabone says the incident occurred last week Thursday at one of the area’s local Early Learning Centres in Unit 13, Mmabatho.
 
He adds the child apparently soiled herself, after which one of the centre’s employees washed her, seemingly with scalding water which led to the development of blisters on her buttocks.
 
Investigation into the matter continues.
