Child burn victim: 5 year old girl set self on fire while tending her family’s dinner
- 9 years ago
In Henan province, northern China, a 5-year-old girl accidentally set herself in fire while watching her family’s dinner.
5-year-old Su Xiao Xue is the eldest of three children. She and her father were preparing the family’s dinner one night on a coal stove, common in poor areas of China. When her father deemed that dinner was almost ready, he left Xiao Xue to watch the stove while he tended to her two younger siblings.
A few minutes later, a small human torch raced screaming out of the Su’s house. Neighbors heard her cries and rushed outside to douse the flames. One of the neighbors attempted to pick up Xiao Xue but pulled away a large patch of burned flesh.
Xiao Xue was rushed to hospital, where she has remained unconscious. The little girl has 3rd degree burns over 55% of her body and the fingers of one hand have almost been burned off. The doctors speculate that she must’ve picked up a hot coal and possibly dropped it, setting her clothing ablaze.
Xiao Xue’s father is a single dad, as his wife passed away last year, leaving him with three young children to raise alone. He splits his time between his children and his job, but doesn’t earn much.
“The villagers often offer hand me clothing or food to help out the family, but that won’t be enough to cover Xiao Xue’s medical expenses.”
Xiao Xue’s father confesses that he’s at a loss, torn between caring for his two younger children, working his job, and finding the time to visit Xiao Xue while she is in hospital.
