What atrocious writing. What kind of Journalists does fox employ? I know not very good ones!

WOW, there is a bunch of electricians on this sight. Hope the child will be okay and not have any permanent damage. Prayers for her parents also it hurts them as well to see their daughter suffer. NO MATTER WHAT CAUSED IT, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

Here come Rainwater, holt and sexton to the rescue.

I'm not sure what a "skin graph" is but I'm pretty sure your writer intended to refer to "skin grafts." And your headline is inaccurate. It was not the phone that shocked the girl, it was the charger. Important distinction.

Sorry she got hurt but was the gold chain 6 ft long and did she roll up in the cord,the charging cord should be 3 to 4 feet long ,kidds now days are something else and I have them too.

I'm familiar with skin grafts, but skin graphs? is that like powerpoint tattoos?

I do hope the young girl is ok and does not require any extensive treatment. I agree with the three of you 100%. The negligence of the teen was the blame.

That was a great post, thanks for clearing that up, I was thinking the same thing, the cell phone charger could have a radio or anything else. She simply did not have it plugged in properly where the prongs were left exposed, this was not the fault of a cell phone charger, it was the fault of the operator, sucks to be her though and hope she gets better.

I feel sorry for the girl. Give the modern tech a break though girl! Read a book or something. If you need to be on your phone while it's charging, you're on the phone too much! Thisissilly is correct on all points. Amperage gets ya baby, not volts; at least not a 120 of them.

1.) The cell phone had NOTHING to do with the burns. 2.) The charger is not what shocked this girl. 3.) At 15, she should know that metal conducts electricity. 4.) Getting her necklace stuck in a pair of electrical prongs caused the damage. 5.) Voltage doesn't kill. Amperage kills. 6.) Had she been properly insulated the shock would have harmed her less. 7.) I am disappointed in the journalistic integrity to mislead the public by placing blame on the charger and not the extension cord, or, more accurately, the necklace. There was no malfunction of any sort on the behalf of the charger or extension cord to cause this damage, just neglect from the teenager.
