Arthur Hitchings has had three skin grafts and now 'owns' his scars, said his mother.
A little boy whose skin came off "in handfuls" after suffering third-degree burns from a spilled pot of coffee has made an "amazing" recovery.
Ms Hitchings, from Stretham, said: "Luckily, he has healed. He will have the scars for life but... he owns them. He's quite happy to show them to people. He's a very happy young boy." Nationally, on average around 30 children a day are burned or scalded badly enough to need hospital treatment.And although Arthur has come to terms with what happened to him, his mother said that parents can often take longer to forgive themselves.
She has set up a Facebook page for parents whose children have been hurt to get help, support and advice."But parents and carers aren't alone when it happens. It happens on a daily basis to many people. And it's just raising awareness that it does happen and they can get through it."
