Electrical burns.

Children can get an electrical burn if they bite an electrical cord or stick their fingers or an object into an outlet.

Electricity can burn the body on the inside and outside. It can cause a child to stop breathing and damage the heart causing them to become unresponsive.  

Always seek emergency help for an electrical burn since you cannot tell the extent of the injury from the outside. Be prepared to start CPR if necessary.
