Burning baby case: docs hint at child abuse

The mystery behind the case of the three-month-old boy who went up in flames deepened on Saturday with doctors ruling out any abnormality and hinting at child abuse. Initial test results of blood and urine samples of the baby were normal, said doctors at Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital. A probe into the kind of clothes the child was wearing during the time of the accident may provide clues on what led to the fire, said plastic surgeons. R. Narayana Babu, head of paediatrics intensive care unit where Rahul is being treated, said the baby was being provided supplementary feed for nourishment besides being breastfed.
