This horrific incident took place in Paris, Texas, and according to the US Today once emergency services responded to the call police came to the scene after learning that the father had intentionally given the innocent child, gasoline to drink.

Fortunately, the small infant who consumed the gasoline seemed to be okay and was taken to the local hospital and was later transferred to a hospital in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
