Video: Waiter Disfigures 3 Year Old Boy, By Accidentally Dropping A Pot Of Hot Soup On Him

A recent viral video showed a waiter who mistakenly slipped and pour a hot soup on a little boy, burning him in a restaurant.

The child and his parents were in a restaurant in Yongzhou City, in China's central Hunan Province, when the accident happened. In a CCTV video, the waiter is seen walking toward the family as the boy plays on his mobile phone. As the waiter gets close to their table, he slips and while falling, the pot of soup drops on the table, its contents spilling onto the boy's face and his body.

The boy immediately jumps up and is pulled aside by his mum, but he can be seen writhing in pain. His father stands too and dumps the pot on the floor, away from his son, they nudges the waiter aside to get to his screaming son. 

The child was taken to the hospital for treatment afterward. The family of the injured boy claim the waiter slipped because there was oil on the floor, and said he should have delivered the soup on a trolley instead of by hand. It is not known whether they'll be taking any action against the restaurant.
