age might run around the backyard with a football, it\u2019s not uncommon to witness Barrett dancing around the house with chemistry goggles, carrying out the latest experiment he just studied.<\/p>\n<p>The second born in a family of five siblings, Barrett is homeschooled in classical-style education in his tiny town of Highlands in the mountains of western North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from his gentle and loving-type personality, he\u2019s extremely cautious, very responsible and a forward thinker, his father said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s just a part of his personality,\u201d said Barrett\u2019s father, Kyle McKim. \u201cHe\u2019s the one, probably more than any of our kids, that\u2019s anticipating or looking out for his younger brothers because they\u2019re too close to the pond or the edge of the deck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\"

most days in the McKim house.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kyle McKim was away at work about 12 minutes from the family home, and the kids were all home with their mother on their summer break. Even though school was out, Barrett still wanted to learn. He decided to perform a science experiment in the front room of the home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-01.jpeg?w=768\" alt=\"Barrett has shown an interest in science and learning from a young age.\" class=\"wp-image-22946707\" width=\"268\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-01.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=534 536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-01.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=400 402w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-01.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=268 268w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-01.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=133 134w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-01.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\"\/><figcaption>Barrett has shown an interest in science and learning from a young age.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Kyle McKim<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s worked with different rocks and minerals a lot and loves heating different ones up,\u201d McKim said.<\/p>\n<p>On this particular day, Barrett was working with some fool\u2019s gold and testing things he had read which would cause it to spark and change colors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was not a classroom accident. This was just Barrett doing his own thing,\u201d McKim said.<\/p>\n<p>While the family is unsure how the explosion happened, they do know that Barrett was using isopropyl alcohol as an accelerant to get some additional heat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know if that was sparked by one of the sparks from the rocks or something with the Bunsen burner,\u201d McKim said. \u201cWe\u2019ve looked at the lighter which seems like maybe it had a faulty connection. We don\u2019t really know what ignited the accident, but it exploded up into his face and is what created the burn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he first got to the hospital, Barrett was burnt on what doctors initially thought was 40% of his body. As often happens with an accelerant, the body continues to burn.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Doctors now said he has burns on 50% of his body; 20% are third-degree burns, and 30% are second-degree burns. He is battling burns primarily on his lower face, neck, entire front torso, arms, hands, shoulders and the length of his thighs to his knees.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-11-1.jpeg?w=768\" alt=\"An explosion happened during a science experiment Barrett was conducting with  isopropyl alcohol in June.\" class=\"wp-image-22946763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-11-1.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-11-1.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1152 1152w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-11-1.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=768 768w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-11-1.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=384 384w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-11-1.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><figcaption>An explosion happened during a science experiment Barrett was conducting with  isopropyl alcohol in June.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Kyle McKim<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-09.jpeg?w=768\" alt=\"The 12-year-old suffered burns on about 50% of his body as a result of the accident.\" class=\"wp-image-22946792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-09.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-09.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1152 1152w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-09.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=768 768w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-09.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=384 384w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-09.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><figcaption>The 12-year-old suffered burns on about 50% of his body as a result of the accident.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Kyle McKim<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe feel very grateful that he had the goggles on for this accident because it did protect some of his face and certainly his eyes,\u201d McKim said.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Asking_if_hes_going_to_die\"><\/span>\u2018Asking if he\u2019s going to die\u2019<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When the explosion happened, it threw the accelerant and fire onto Barrett, who was, unfortunately, not wearing a lab coat but a synthetic shirt \u2013 creating even more of an issue as it went into flames.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, his mother was in an adjacent room and heard the explosion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-06.jpeg?w=768\" alt=\"Barrett asked his parents if he was going to die while being brought to the hospital.\" class=\"wp-image-22946805\" width=\"309\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-06.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=615 618w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-06.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=461 463w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-06.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=307 309w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-06.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=154 154w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/boy-burned-science-experiment-06.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 309px) 100vw, 309px\"\/><figcaption>Barrett asked his parents if he was going to die while being brought to the hospital.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Kyle McKim<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBarrett runs out of the room, and he\u2019s on fire.
