A BOY aged seven lost his arm after his evil dad burned him for being naughty.
The little lad was left in agony with horror injuries after the sickening act by his father in Honduras.
This shocking image shows the extent of the wounds suffered by the boy – whose dad has now been arrested by authorities.
Cops claim the boy’s dad burned him because he had eaten something he should not have, although it is currently unclear what he ate.
The case was recently been reported by the local police although the incident took place on December 19 in Montana de la Flor, in Orica.
The kid, whose name has not been revealed, was taken to hospital with third-degree burns on his arm but the limb could not be saved.
Authorities say the youngster was not taken to the hospital quickly enough and he suffered a serious infection.
Doctors then decided to amputate the limb to prevent further complications.
Police officers went to the boy’s house and arrested his father, Leonardo Soto, 49, on suspicion of causing the burn.
