Hey there, time traveller!

A Thompson father has been charged with aggravated assault after allegedly submerging his 17-month-old daughter in hot water, badly burning the child.
The RCMP arrested a 27-year-old man on Tuesday. He appeared in Winnipeg court today and was released pending a second appearance in Thompson on April 20.
His name is not being used to protect the identity of the child.
The little girl suffered third-degree burns to 40 per cent of her body after the incident on Jan. 29 in Thompson. She was medevaced from Thompson to Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg on Jan. 30.
She has since been released, but requires ongoing care, said the RCMP.
Police believe the child was forcibly submerged in hot water.
