Hot Water Challenge' leaves 15-year-old severely burned

                          
A bizarre challenge called 'Hot Water Challenge' which involves drinking boiling water, or pouring it on a friend has left a 15-year-old boy in Indiana seriously burned.
Kyland Clark from Indianapolis said he was left with second-degree burns when a friend pulled a prank on him last week as part of the “Hot Water Challenge,” news station WXIN reported.
Before the incident, the victim and his friend reportedly checked out the challenge on YouTube and decided to try it.
According to the news station, while the teen was sleeping, his friend poured boiling water on him, causing serious burns on his back, chest and face.
My skin just fell off my chest, and then I looked in the mirror and I had skin falling off here and, on my face,” Kyland told the news station.
The teen was rushed admitted to a local hospital, where he remained under treatment for a week, with doctors telling him that his skin will take several months to heal.
“To see my baby, all burned up like that, it was heartbreaking,” his mom Andrea Clark told WXIN.
Dr. Ed Bartkus of Indiana University Health also issued a fair warning that the challenge can cause permanent injuries or even death.
“If your friends are telling you to do this, they aren’t good friends,” he told Fox 59.

The worst crime a family can do is marrying their scumbag son to an innocent girl in the hope he will miraculously change" Arab influencer writes

    An Arab influencer has raised a discussion about families marrying off their sons who are not responsible enough, to innocent girls.   He pointed out that it has become common and when the man's behaviour doesn't improve after marriage, the woman is blamed.   Abed Alii tweeted: "The worst crime a family can do is marrying their son, who they know is a scum bag, to an innocent girl in the hope he will miraculously change...   "My sympathies are always with the womenfolk. They leave their family and come to an absolutely new one, without any support and then get abused. I’ve heard that so many times. 'maybe she’ll change him. She will make him change his bad habits. She’s a good girl.' It’s not her job to educate your son at the risk of damaging her mental Health!  And vice versa... let’s keep it real."   He added that it goes both ways and he has seen it happen to someone he knows.   Read his tweets below.
