Originally Posted By FerretAfros I agree that the blame in this one seems to go to the parents. They were eating dinner, and cheese ended up on his face. From what I know about Disney's menus, it must have been a counter service or ODV location, meaning that there were no CM's in the immediate vicinity while they were eating. My guess is that mom and dad touched the cheese, realized that it was really hot, and wanted to make a buck. I do feel bad for the kid. It's a shame that a trip like that had to be ruined (presumably), and that his parents don't seem to have any sense. That could lead to all sorts of other issues down the road...

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan I'm still trying to see how a container of gooey cheese sauce winds up on the child's face? Spilled on his shirt or in his lap, yeah, that makes sense. But how would it wind up on his face? Was he lying down on a seat when it was spilled? Did he grab the container and mash it onto his face? It just seems improbable.
Originally Posted By hopemax Other reports I've read... the child was sitting in a wobbly chair, started to fall, reached out to grab the table. Instea, he caught the edge of the tray, tipping it off the table and the cheese cup landing on his face.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Kid's face looked kinda messed up in the picture I saw :-(. The location was Cosmic Ray's. You would think someone along the line would have handled that cup of cheese and realized it was scalding hot (160 degrees at least to cause those injuries).

Originally Posted By RoadTrip And the cheese cup somehow managed to land exactly in the middle of his upper lip. Right. Looks to me like the dumb kid tried to pick it up and drink it.
Originally Posted By TMICHAEL RT that's a really lame comment on your part. A hungry four year old isn't going to stop and reason with himself about the temp of a tub of nacho cheese sauce. And the speed at which a child can grab at food while mom or dad isn't looking is pretty quick. Even if he did try to drink it, which is exactly what the location of the burns looks like, to cause those injuries, the cheese was served way too hot. Looks like one of those brilliant, under paid food CM's nuked the tub of cheese and just served it. And as we all know, hot cheese stays hot for quite some time, and sticks to the skin. Parents negligence, maybe....Disney's negligence, looks like it. Dumb four year old? Nope, just a little kid acting his age. Now, the stupid lady putting the McDonald's coffee between her legs, I'll still call an idiot, LOL
