Family issues warning after toddler gets second-degree burns from walking on hot concrete: ‘So much pain’
NY Post ^ | 05/30/2023 | Linda Williams, FOX Weather

As temperatures heat up, an Arizona family has a warning for other parents about the dangers of hot surfaces like pavement and concrete.

It comes after their son suffered burns to the bottom of his feet.

The pavement heats up quickly, and pets and children are particularly vulnerable when it comes to getting burned on the bottoms of their feet.

Eighteen-month-old Mason is walking softly on his feet after they were bandaged.

He suffered contact burns from the hot pavement.

And since at least half the judges are idiot libs, there’s always a decent shot at a jackpot.

Even in NY the asphalt and concrete can get hot enough to burn your feet. Animals too. Ever since my daughter’s dogs were puppies she was always very careful to let them walk only in grassy areas.

Heh, my feet in the account above were so heavily calloused due to a lifelong fungal infection I got as a kid in the Philippines, that they occasionally cracked and bled from being so heavily calloused and wouldn’t heal for weeks or months.

I nearly had bare feet like shoes in that state and was used to walking around in my bare feet, which is why, in my semi-inebriated state, it didn’t even cross my mind that the hot road would be a...thing!

Concrete isn’t hot in summer - blacktop (asphalt) is hot.

I would never admit it if I was that stupid.

Progressives (guaranteed they are) are incapable of embarrassment.

These mouth breathers remind me of the adults in winter, fully dressed for the cold, going into WalMart with little kids in shorts and short sleeve tees.

Yeah those empty light sockets should be well above where kids can reach. And also never, I mean NEVER, use steak knives instead of popsicle sticks to make popsicles. But some parents must learn by trial and error...

I ran around all summer barefoot but it was on grass or earth as I was smart enough to go, “ow, hot” and step off the sidewalk. Was this kid extremely dim or are his parents exceptionally stupid?

It’s almost enough to make you think there should be qualification tests for common sense for would be parents.

I see too many parents who are such idiots that they take good care of themselves and dress warm in cold weather, but let their kids go out in 40 degree weather in shorts, a t-shirt, and flip flops.

At least dress the kids as warm as you do, or make them wear footwear if you wouldn’t go barefoot.

What morons.....

Gee, I wish I could go back are relive my life with this great knowledge...then, I would now have feet...instead of having burned them off by standing barefoot on black asphalt for hours.

And you wonder why everything has a warning label on it. Well, wonder no more. In other news, water is wet.
