Second and third degree burns

An Indianapolis teen is recovering from severe burns after his friends put him through what is called the "Hot Water Challenge." 

It involved having boiling hot water poured on you. 

Fifteen-year-old Kyland Clark has second and third degree burns on his back, face, and chest after his friends poured boiling water on him while he was sleeping. 

Though Kyland is expected to heal, a similar challenge caused the death of a child in Florida.
