Prayers Said for Scalded Baby in Somerset

Churchgoers continue to pray for a 10-month-old baby who was scalded when hot water pipes burst above her cot.

Doctors have told Rhianna Hardie's family that her injuries are so severe that she only has a 20 per cent chance of survival.

Rhianna remains in a critical condition in hospital after suffering 85 per cent burns in the accident at her council house in Taunton, Somerset.

The Rev Tim Jones said: "Our thoughts are with her family and we are of course here to support them."

"All churchgoers have been saying prayers for Rhianna and her family at this time of tragedy and hoping and praying she will pull through," he said.
