Coleman, Texas (Ktab/krbc-12-year-old Kaden Bald was sitting at home in Coleman, Texas, with his older brother, and he passed on Tiktok, when they encountered a video clip they wanted to try.
Bald said that he and his brother grabbed the materials and believed that the experiment went well, until it did not.
“You are taking some alcohol rubbing and putting it in a bottle, then lighting it on the fire, and shooting the bottle.
“It seemed as if the fire had gone out. So, my brother grabbed and said:” Here, throw it away. “So, hold it to throw it in the trash, [and] My shirt was burning. “
Isopropyl alcohol, when igniting, can have an invisible flame, which caused second -degree burns to a third through his body.
Mom Kaden, Christina, said that she was on the other side of the property when the accident occurred and got the news from a close friend heard the children calling 911.
“When I walked to the balcony, it was just a face, chest, arms, stomach covered with burns. His skin seemed to be melted,” Christina recalls. “They like to listen to the story times on Tiktok, as you know, Reddit stories. So I never expected things to go the way they went.”
Because of Kaden’s older brother’s rapid work, he was able to reduce the amount of damage. He pulled his brother’s shirt and told him to stop and fall and wrap him to put out the fire.
“I don’t know how you were brave enough to get to the fire and pull the shirt from your brother. But I thank God every day that you were brave enough to do this,” said Christina.
Now, my mother urges other parents to have a difficult conversation with their children about imitating what they see online.
“Just tell your children because you never know when it can end up with something they see online in their position in the hospital or what is worse. We have been very lucky; unfortunately, it is bad, but Kaden and I am very lucky because that was not much worse,” said Christina.
