Same thing happened to me when I was 8 or 9 with McDonalds coffee (after they'd turned the temperatures down, thank god). Was holding on to it for my mother when we hit a pretty large speed bump coming out of the parking lot and half my lap ended up covered, while wearing cotton sweat pants that held and trapped the liquid against my leg. #### isn't funny, as I'd still rate it at as one of the most painful experiences that I've ever gone through.
About the only thing I can contribute on this is, if you are driving do not hand an incredibly hot beverage to your kid. Use a cup holder.
