A Brooklyn family is demanding answers after their daughter suffered third-degree burns.
Genesis Scott told News 12 she left her 18-month-old daughter, Milan, with a friend on Wednesday so she could attend her GED classes.
The woman, who also has a toddler, agreed to watch Milan for an extra day.
Scott says nothing seemed wrong when she picked her daughter up on Friday. Milan wasn’t crying, she said, just drowsy and tired.
But once the family got home, she says her father lifted the baby’s pant leg and spotted a blister.
She cut Milan’s pants off with scissors, and found her legs and feet covered in blisters.
"Her skin of her feet started peeling off, too,” Scott told News 12 from her daughter’s hospital room inside the Burn Unit at Nassau University Medical Center on Long Island.
Scott says doctors told her the injuries appeared intentional.
Scott says the woman watching Milan first claimed hot soup had spilled on the children and said she treated it with ice and ointment. But Scott says the story keeps changing, and she still doesn’t know how her daughter was hurt.
The family says they are pressing charges.
