In Kansas City, Missouri, a 2-year-old soiled his pants, tragically, the man watching him at the time decided that an appropriate punishment would be to throw the child into a tub of boiling water.
Daniel Rose, 32, was watching his girlfriend’s son Korbin when the incident occurred.

Korbin sustained third-degree burns on his little body and spent three weeks in the hospital with a catheter, an IV, and an N-tube – all of which helped to keep him alive.

The burns caused damage to Korbin’s bowels and stomach, which meant he couldn’t drink, eat, or go to the bathroom without assistance.
