12 years old. They can do incredibly stupid things. You can do the damage of an adult with the conscience of a child.
12 years old is more than old enough to know that boiling-hot water is bad ju-ju.
Prayers for this seriously injured young girl to recover completely with as little physical and mental discomfort as can be provided. Very sad all around, indeed.
“12 years old. They can do incredibly stupid things.”
Not THAT stupid. A 12 year old would know that at the very least, it would hurt like all hell. I’m sure she would never consider putting her finger into a pot of boiling water.
