    i presume the other end of the charger was plugged in so the micro USB or apple connector body was earthed as it got posted in the live slot of the adjacent socket, - there would not be the  flash bang event otherwise, as the current though the child would be limited by the body resistance. (and then you'd expect the ohmic dissipation to lead to entry and exit damage to the skin.)
