hOLY Shit! mom shares pics of kid's sunburns after day care outting (warning - super bad sunburns) [View all]

Two Oklahoma boys were sunburned so severely during a day care outing on a blazing hot day they had to be airlifted to a Texas children’s hospital.

The boys’ mother Shaunna Broadway of Vinita is outraged because the center failed to apply sunscreen and shared graphic images of horrific blisters covering her boys’ backs on Facebook and GoFundMe.

When Broadway picked up her sons from Happiness Is a Learning Center last Friday, their skin was red, hot and burned, after spending the afternoon at a local water park. Conner, 7, and Tray, 5, were crying in pain.

The heat index was close to 110 degrees that day and and Broadway says the center told her that ran out of sunscreen.

Broadway phoned the doctor who advised her to watch the boys closely and report back if blisters formed. The next morning, blisters and boils covered their skin, and the boys were in excruciating pain.
