Only 1 month old

It's just, wtf. Who lets that happen to a 1 month old or, otherwise, does that to one.

I know I'm being naïve AF, but is there any chance she's got a horrendous case of ppd/ppp? Please let that be why she let her one month old suffer for days in agony...

The article does not say how the burns happened? A one month old baby can’t get into anything? Burns are so painful!
