Idiot parents, idiot workers for even complying with such an absurd request. They opened themselves up to liability when they brought that water. If the family had such an issue with the utensils, the restaurant should have told them too bad, or brought plastic utensils.

Giving these idiots water like that was the last thing to do, I would not be surprised if they dumped it on the kid on purpose just to get a pay out.

Wow. Sad for the baby but it is the parents fault and appear to be looking for a payday.

The waiter should be allowed to keep his job. He did nothing wrong.

There's a lot left out of this article.

Where was the scalding hot liquid placed? Was it placed near him as if it was his drink? Did it look like a drink?

Applebees apparently has video footage of the incident so it should be pretty clear what happened.

Well I seriously doubt they are putting a special pot of water on the stove just for this table. No, they would give them the water they serve with tea.

Also, in another article, I read that no one did anything to really help the poor boy, no one thought to call 911, no one gave proper first aid, etc. Almost like people froze because they didn't know what to do.

I hope they lose. Why would you put a hot water anywhere near that infant. A fricken infant! There was no need for that hot water to be in reach of an infant. It's their own stupid neglect that caused the kid to be burned.

They won’t get anything. They created a risk and assumed the results of it. Just plain stupid.

Yup. There must have been ten thousand orders for hot water for tea all across the nation, just like every other day, with no reported burns. Unless the waiter spilled the hot water on the baby, I think Applebee’s is safe.
