A 10-year-old ‘special needs' boy is fighting for his life in the hospital after he suffered horrific burns while playing in a park near his home. Kayden Culp, who is from Kerrville, Texas was playing in a park with two other boys when a third allegedly poured some gasoline over him and another set him on fire. Kayden's mother, Trysten, detailed her son's condition saying the 10-year-old is ‘suffering from infections and is currently on medications to stabilize his heart'.

He has burns on about 20 percent of his body, has a feeding tube and is being kept sedated, according to a fundraising page set up to help the family. The burns stretch from near his belly button to his ears. Kayden's mother has also spoken to local police about pressing charges against the boys she claims set her son of fire deliberately.

‘My son is a special guy. He was rowdy and he liked to have fun,' she told the Houston Chronicle. ‘He considered these guys his friends, but they would make fun of him and pick on him and tease him. ‘He was usually the brunt of that kind of joke, but he kept playing with them.'

Police spokeswoman Kaitlin Berry said she had heard ‘rumors' the young boy was set on fire deliberately, but could not confirm whether it was the case because fire marshals are still investigating. The fundraising page set up to help the family has raised just under $8,000.
