Burnt toddler remains in critical condition

One-year-old Jabarie Stanford remains in critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation after sustaining third degree burns when the mattress the boy was sleeping on caught fire in his ‘D’ Field Sophia home on Saturday.

Stanford’s mother Rehanna Jones told Stabroek News that “he looks better today,” she began to cry and stated that while the one year old appeared like he was healing she felt as though she was “just waiting and waiting for my baby to die, he was so burned and the doctors saying that he is really bad I can’t bear to think of my son like this, he is just a baby.”

Jones said that she was at a loss as to where to go from here,
