A LITTLE girl who fell into a pot of boiling water suffered an excruciating death after her parents refused to take her to hospital.

       Two-year-old Lesya Gorova suffered severe burns to her lower body after she slipped and sat in a metal basin with scalding-hot water, which was left out by her parents.

       The tot was playing with her twin brother and older sister, four, when the incident occurred in the Ukraine village of Grygorivka.

       Reports say the mother, Dasha Gorova, 18, and father, Ivan Gorov, 29, decided against taking her to hospital and instead chose to treat their child with herbal remedies.

       The two-year-old suffered from excruciating pain five days before her grandma came for a visit and rushed her to hospital.

       The woman was reportedly shocked with the child’s condition and immediately called an ambulance.

       The youngster was rushed off with serious burns to her legs, buttocks, back and stomach.

       But it was too late: little Lesya died on August 2, almost ten days after being admitted to hospital.
