A POLICE investigation into a nursery where a child "suffered chemical burns" is continuing after a complaint about the premises was upheld by care watchdogs.
Austin Riley was crying hysterically, thrashing around and frantically pulling at his clothes when his mum collected him from Firtrees Nursery in Motherwell on October 31.
A large red mark was then discovered on the 15-month-old's stomach, prompting mum Samantha to rush him to Wishaw General Hospital.
But the horrified 36-year-old found herself at the centre of a social service probe before later being cleared of all wrongdoing.
The mum-of-two has now received a report from the Care Inspectorate which confirms a member of staff noticed an "odour resembling chlorine coming from Austin's hair".
Police Scotland told the Record that inquiries into the circumstances of the tot getting injured are continuing.
Samantha said: "I want to know exactly what happened and how those chemicals came into contact with Austin's skin.
I hope the police investigation will give us those answers.
