Not necessarily, and IF there is a good and consistent explanation for the injury.Fairly sure an accident like that would result in a flag to children's social care? I was so paranoid about my son getting burnt when he was that age! I've roared at my husband for cooking with pan handles sticking out over the edge of the hob before now, even when the baby was in bed, because I wanted us to stay mindful of hazards and get into good habits. And don't get me started on grandparents with hot drinks. I bet that's what's happened actually, someone's left a brew within reach and she's grabbed it and spilled it down her leg. No wonder when she gets dragged to Starbucks 5 times a week
My child at two was stood behind me when I opened the oven, I didn't realise he was there, took a step back, knocked him over and his arm went into the oven. Two horrendous third degree burns.
This was what happened so the "story" never changed between A&E, GP and burns unit he attended, so no referral was made.
