According to a report by Dailymail, a three-year-old boy has been admitted to hospital with first-degree burns after he was held over an open fire for apparently wetting the bed.

In a shocking video footage, the toddler is seen screaming in pain while his 20-year-old stepfather allegedly punishes him by holding his n*ked body over the flames. The horrific abuse took place in the city of Limpio, in the Central Department of Paraguay, near the capital of Asuncion.

The video was filmed by a neighbour who had heard the boy screaming in agony. The video maker was apparently too scared by the man to intervene.

In the clip the man can be seen dangling the toddler over the fire while he screams in panic. He later begins lowering the boy so that the flames appear to make contact with his skin.

Speaking about the suspect, Deputy Commissioner Odilio Larrea said: 'He refused to talk. He just said that he had done nothing.'

The boy's 21-year-old mother, who is also caring for a new born baby and another child, has been given full custody of the child while the investigation continues.

According to local media, the stepfather is being detained while the authorities conduct their investigation.
