According to an Oklahoma mother, her two young sons suffered severe sunburns while they were in a local daycare. According to Shaunna Broadway, employees at "Happiness Is A Learning Center" in Vinita, Oklahoma, had let her children play outside without any protection from the sun.

She realized the matter when her sons got home and were crying as they had large, painful blisters on their body.

Broadway told the station, "They didn't put no sunscreen on them and no shirt and when I asked them about it, they claimed they were out of sunscreen and that they told the kids to put on their shirts, but they didn't want to leave them on".

Regular sunburns make the skin red or pinkish in color. However, the sun can also lead to severe second- or third-degree burns, which can cause painful blistering. As per Broadway, her boys Tray Wells, 5 and Conner Harvey, 7 returned from two different hospitals after getting pain medication and cream, but they didn't get the relief.

She said that her situation got worse after that, particularly with her oldest son. He began complaining of chest pains and said that he was not able to breathe. His chest also started swelling.

After that Broadway took her children to the Hillcrest Medical Center Burn Unit in Tulsa. She was told that she immediately needed her sons to be life-flighted to a hospital in Galveston, Texas, that has a children's facility having specialists for treating burns.
