A two-year-old boy in Barangay Canitoan, Cagayan de Oro died after he was scalded with boiling water while his father was preparing his milk.

Cody Ryan Balili passed away in the hospital after sustaining injuries on his face and body.

According to his grandmother, Cody’s father placed a container with hot water on the table where he was sterilizing the feeding bottle. He had just away briefly to get something when Cody reportedly reached for the container and got scalded with the hot water.

Before the incident, the father even reportedly warned Cody against getting near the table.

“Nag-init man siya og tubig, nagkuha siya og bibiron ug gibutang niya sa yahong nga gamay… gibubuan niya og ininit tubig… katong ininit tubig bukal kayo to. Ingon pa siya nga hawa diha Cody kay mapaso ka ana paglingi niya didto na nisabyag sa iyang ulo, sa iyang nawng sa buko-buko,” the grandmother said.

The grandmother said what happened pains her.

“Lain ang akong gibati kay madumduman man nako ang iyang lihok muanhi man gud to mangayo og juice mangayo og biscuit tagaan ko to muingon dayun ko nga, tagae imong manghod ha nga si Cassie dagan-dagan dayun na siya didto. Kung unsa akong lihok diri iyang sunod-sunoron muna sakit gyud kayo ba,” the boy’s grandmother, Rosa Balili, said.

The boy’s mother is working overseas.

“Hinaot unta kung unsa man ang iyang… pasensyahon lang mi kay dili man gyud nato malikayan, linaw lang unta siya sa iyang paglakaw kay wala man gyud mi mahimo sa iyaha kay aksidente man ang nahitabo,” the grandmother added.
