Nine-year-old girl suffers horrific burns filling up hot water bottle

A mum yesterday (Mon) warned parents to teach their children about the dangers of kettles after her nine-year-old daughter was scarred for life - filling a hot water bottle. Karen Albon, 45, had just put the Sunday roast on the table when she heard daughter Jasmine screaming from the kitchen. The youngster had been filling up a hot water bottle after pulling a muscle in her back when she lost her grip and was covered in the boiling liquid. Mum-of-four Karen quickly rushed Jasmine to the shower to cool her down but drove her to hospital after she turned "white as a sheet".
