(FoxNews.com) - A 9-month-old Arizona boy suffered second-degree burns over 30 percent of his body after his mother unknowingly sprayed him with scalding hot water while filling up a play pool, KTLA reported.

Dominique Woodger of San Tan Valley, Ariz., told KNXV that she was unaware of the water’s temperature when she turned on the faucet, as it had been sitting in the sun all day. Temperatures on Tuesday, the day of the incident, reached 115 degrees, which means the water may have been upwards of 150 degrees.

“I thought he was crying because he was mad… he hates when he gets sprayed in the face,” Woodger said, according to KTLA. “I didn’t think that it was burning him.”
