A 10 month-old Taiwanese girl was severely burned at the hand of her father last week in Taiwan.
Mr. Huang, a 47 year-old alcoholic noodle factory owner, had beenout all night drinking with some friends. When he returned home, veryintoxicated, his girlfriend and the baby’s mother, Ms. Lin, wasextremely angry and they began to argue.
Lin was holding their baby in her arms and at one point in theargument, dared Huang to throw their daughter into a gigantic wok ofboiling water.
Huang, furious and angry, jumped over and snatched his daughter from Lin and dumped her into the boiling water.
Lin in shock, managed to pull the baby out of the boiling water, but it was too late as 90% of the babies body was scalded.
She tried to cool the baby by running cold water on her and removingher clothing, but it only added to the babies pain as parts of her skinfell off.
Lin ran with the baby to her house, where her brother rushed them to the hospital.
A doctor described the baby’s pain as ‘being slashed by a thousand knives’, and almost 10 times worse than labor pains.
When the police arrived at the noodle factory to arrest Huang, theyfound him standing there cooking noodles as if nothing had occured.
Huang later told the police that he “didn’t mean to put the baby inthe boiling water. I really regret what I did after having a drop toomuch.’
Initially the baby’s condition looked to be improving, but Monday night, she took a turn for the worse.
3 days later, the 10 month-old girl died from multiple organ failure.“We respected the mother’s wish not to defibrillate or performcardiopulmonary resuscitation and we gave the baby all the medicationwe could, including antibiotics. Unfortunately, the girl left us at10:05am,” Changhua Christian Hospital emergency room supervisor ChouChih-chung (周志中
said.
“It was just too painful for her,” the mother said.
