A CAIRNS mum was allegedly told by family to treat a bad burn on her one-year-old son's hand with butter or Vicks and did not call for medical help because her phone battery was flat, police will allege.
The toddler received full thickness burns to his left hand, believed to be on an oven, in a Mooroobool house earlier this year, which was left untreated for three days.
