This story

One morning, two-year-old William poured scalding tea over himself. Edward placed him under cool running water in the sink, and Claire kept him under a cool shower for 25 minutes until an ambulance arrived. The hospital confirmed that their quick action saved William from months of painful treatment and skin grafts. William made a full recovery, and Claire now shares their experience to encourage other parents to learn first aid.
