Move your hand back and forth throughout the length of the tub to check for hot spots. Then put your child in the tub. Always stay with your child. Do not answer the phone or door. If you must leave the bathroom take your child with you.
Some kids can turn the hot water on by themselves.
It only takes seconds for small kids to drown or burn themselves. Turn down your water heater setting yourself. Ask your plumber to turn down your water heater setting. Call your landlord.
