A 10-year-old boy has been left with horrific injuries following an incident that unfolded at a parent-teacher night at a school in Sydney.

The events unfolded at Blacktown Youth College, where mum Tessa Hennings had gone to attend parent-teacher interviews with her son, Noah.

Mum Tessa has been left upset by the ordeal.

While there, it's understood Noah struck up a conversation with a teenage girl, joking that he had an apple and a cup of water and telling her it was 'apple juice'.

He was just trying to make friends, but the girl allegedly responded by pouring a cup of boiling water down his back.

Speaking to 7News, Hennings said: "We were just up at the girl’s high school for parent-teacher interviews. Next minute we heard Noah screaming.”

Noah’s sister Meredith was the first one to reach Noah to help him, and recalled him telling her that the girl had 'spilt hot water all over [his] back'.

Meredith then lifted up her little brother's shirt and realised his skin was 'burning up'.

Paramedics were called to the scene, and in the meantime teachers at the college attempted to help by showering Noah with cold water while the teenage girl looked on.

The incident unfolded at Blacktown Youth College.

Hennings confronted the teen, asking: “I said, ‘Were you the one that hurt my child?’ She’s like 'no'... just said nothing."

The mum then decided to call the police, saying: "This was wrong.”

In the wake of the incident, which was caught on CCTV, the teen was ordered by the school to stay at home.

Police are yet to review the CCTV footage of the events, according to 7News, but authorities said the teen allegedly responsible for hurting Noah is unlikely to be charged.

“I said to police ‘That’s grievous bodily harm, why didn’t it go any further?’” Hennings said. “And they said it’s because of the children’s criminal act.”

Noah has been left with burns as a result of the incident.

Police have spoken to the teenage girl and told Hennings she had apologised for her actions, but Noah remains in pain and is expected to take two months to fully heal.

His burns are said to hurt 'whenever they are touched', and his mum has been left upset and frustrated over the whole ordeal.

“He said ‘This is what I get for making friends’,” Hennings recalled.

“That was pretty sad because Noah’s a friendly kid, he’ll talk to anyone, he doesn’t discriminate. There should be consequences, I think.”
