VINITA, Okla. — Two Vinita, Oklahoma, boys are being treated at a Texas hospital for second- and third-degree burns their mother said they got at day care.
She told KOKI-TV that she dropped her sons, ages 5 and 7, at the Happiness Is a Learning Center day care on Friday between 8:30 and 9 a.m. She said when she picked them up after 5 p.m., the kids told her they’d been at a splash pad all day without shirts on while they played.

She said the kids developed severe sunburns, and after she took them to a hospital for treatment, they were taken to the Shriner's Hospital in Galveston, Texas, with second- and third-degree burns.
KOKI talked to the Department of Human Services, which is investigating the case. Officials at the day care told KOKI that their lawyers told them not to give a statement. The kids are expected to be in Texas for five more days.
