  • I agree. This does not look like a burn caused by electrical current. It looks more like a flash burn in an enclosed space - a closed hand, It is likely that some force was needed to insert the connector into the live receptacle. We also do not know where the flash came from. It could just as easily come from where the cable joins the plug, either due to the point of failure, or being channelled through the hollow plug. 


    It is conceivable the child did receive an electric shock that threw her, but I am not convinced that is the cause of the burn. 


    Regards,
