Second Child Severely Burned This Month For The Mishandling Fireworks

It's Christmas and along with the tamales, the parades and festivals and presents from Santa, the tradition of children burned by the mishandling of fireworks continues.

The Hospital Nacional de Niños (Children's hospital) reports the second case this month of a child severely burned by the misuse of fireworks.

It is a tradition to set out fireworks for Christmas and New Years, as is the tradition of selling illegal and poor quality fireworks and for parents to allow their children to play with them.

The ministerio de Salud recommends the proper handling of fireworks and calls on parents to keep an eye on their children.
