The father of my nephew caught him on fire over the day after Christmas. My nephew is now 40 something percent burned and now the father is trying to go to court to void the cps safety plan. Some people in my family say “it was an accident he should see the kid” it would be more believable if he hadn’t lied about how it happened three times already. Ga/al court can go either way depending on how they feel. The court system that has failed my nephew is beyond frustrating. It’s not likely the dad will even been locked up (photos in comments and story)

Wow.

What actually happened? 40% burns, your poor nephew 🥺

This is heart breaking!

Omg

It’s unbelievable how wicked people can be, and how the government sometimes doesn’t take serious matters seriously.🥺 This poor baby.😢

If the child was in his care he shouldn't have been drinking in the first place... I understand enjoying yourself and all that, don't get me wrong. I used to have a drink or two. But I never drank around my kid. It was always if my parents had her for a night.

Oh hell no, you're telling me he did this to his own child? Hell no, if he doesn't get any jail time, the mother of the child should sue him for pain and suffering. He should pay all the medical bills, and if he is charged, still sue him for everything and more. He should be on some alcohol program, like in my mum's house; some of us do smoke. Still, I never go inside the house, even when we are cooking; I know where my child is. I tell hom to move even if ive had a couple of drinks; I im always alert, never paralytic to the point where I can't handle a drink, and my family is always around. If I really wanted to get drunk, it's when my child is fast asleep upstairs in my mum's bed because he doesn't get up again. And, because im with family, just spent Christmas and now New Year's back home on Saturday, so drinking isn't an all-time thing, it's the only really time I get to really enjoy myself, because at home, it's just my son and living together, so im always doing everything.

He knows he can't handle drinking, he shouldn't drink, and he's a big grown ars man. He chose to do dumb shit like that and play with gasoline around his own child and didn't tell his son to move out of the way or even do it away from the child i don't care if the father gets burned then he might think twice about playing with gasoline there is a say we always say in the Caribbean those that don't hear must feel and trust me we live by it because he obviously doesn't listen. That idiot man needs to feel the pain, suffer jail, be sued, and be taken from his son. U can't do dumb shit like that and still be allowed around your child.

This breaks my heart. I will keep him and your family in my prayers. It’s crazy that there’s no charges being brought against him at least for child endangerment or SOMETHING. I hope he never has a good night sleep again and this haunts him for the rest of his life.
