MEMPHIS, Tenn. — An Oxford, Mississippi mom says complete strangers came to her rescue after her 9-year-old daughter was burned in the face in a freak accident involving an extension cord.
Jasmin Blackmon said she and her three children lost their power during the ice storm last week and had just returned home from a warming center when her daughter, Hailey, was hurt.
She said Hailey was lying on her bed plugging her phone charger into an extension cord when the extension cord blew up in her face.
“Normally, I don’t let them have their chargers or anything like that on their beds, and there was just so much going on, and so I didn’t really pay attention to it,” said Blackmon. “She had the extension cord draped over her bed to plug up her charger, and when she plugged it up, she said it broke, and it started sparking.”…
