Libbie Patterson: 16-Month-Old Horribly Scarred After Hot Tea Spills On Her Body
A mother in England has shared heartbreaking images of her toddler daughter following a freak accident involving hot tea.
One-year-old Libbie Patterson suffered severe burns to her face and shoulders after, according to her mother, Emma Patterson, she toppled a mug of the scalding liquid onto her body, the Daily Mail reports. Libbie, the youngest of Patterson’s three children, was said to have reached for a cup that was sitting on a counter out of curiosity and out of the sight of the elder Patterson, who came running back into the kitchen once the child started to screech in pain.

“The cup was close to the edge of the work surface and she reached up and grabbed it,” Ms. Patterson explained. “It went [all] over her face, shoulders, stomach and back.”
“She screamed and started to cry,” Libbie’s mother continued, “[and] I stripped off [her clothes] and doused her in cold towels after I called for an ambulance.”
“She was still screaming.”
By the time medical assistance arrived, just minutes later, things had gone from bad to worse for the littlest Patterson.
“Libbie’s face was starting to peel and blister,” Emma additionally relayed. “It wasn’t a nice sight. They had to shave her head and she was in a bad way.”
