    That is horrible. I feel so bad for the baby. I hope he will be ok.

    I didn't realize a garden hose could get that hot in the sun. I mean hot yeah but 150 degrees holy crap.

    That was truly an accident. Mother turned on hose to fill pool, and toddler was sitting by the sprinkler nozzle on hose. Mother did not realize why toddler was screaming at first.

    In Arizona this time of year a lot of "unintended solar gain" objects that can cause harm. Especially to tender skinned individuals.

    I wasn't meaning to sound like it was the moms fault or anything. I believe it could have easily been an accident. And mom fully not understand babies distress, I mean my kid never liked getting sprayed in the face either so that makes sense. I just reality feel bad for the littler guy.
