BLAC Chyna has claimed her three-year-old daughter Dream suffered burns while in the custody of her father Rob Kardashian.
Blac, 31, released a lengthy statement to PEOPLE yesterday via her attorney, in which she alleges injuries were found on the toddler on two separate occasions in February and March.

The statement read: “In late February, Dream returned to Chyna’s home after visiting her father, Rob Kardashian, with a first degree burn on her leg.
“Rob admitted that Dream had received the severe burn at his home and promised it would never happen again. Chyna immediately sought out and obtained appropriate medical treatment for Dream’s burn.”
The model went on to claim in the statement that on Saturday her daughter returned home after visiting Rob, 33, with yet another burn “very near the first burn on her leg”.

Blac’s attorney continued: “When Chyna reached out to Rob to find out what had happened to their daughter, Rob initially lied to Chyna and denied that Dream’s second burn happened at his home.
“Rob then changed his story and had his nanny send a text message admitting that Dream received the second burn at Rob’s house from a hot lightbulb.”
They added: “Chyna again sought medical care for Dream and learned that the most recent burn on her leg was a second degree burn.”

Blac and Rob are currently in the midst of a custody battle regarding their daughter, who was born in November 2016.
As a result of the alleged incidents, Blac – who is also mom to seven-year-old son King Cairo – has requested that police investigate “the circumstances surrounding Dream’s second-degree burn”.
“To protect her daughter’s physical and emotional well-being, Chyna contacted Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the police to request an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Dream’s second-degree burn. Any responsible parent would do the same,” the statement continued.

Referring to Rob’s choice of childcare, they said: “Chyna has since learned that the nanny who was allegedly watching Dream when she was burned both times will no longer work for Rob,” and Blac is requesting the right to approve his next nanny.
“While that development is a good start, Chyna will do everything within her power to ensure Dream’s safety during her visitations with her father.
“At a minimum, this will include Chyna’s approval of Rob’s new nanny. Chyna still wants her daughter to be allowed visitations with her father.”

The attorney added: “However, she also of course wants to ensure that Dream is never burned again (or injured by other neglectful conduct) while visiting her father.
“It is very important for the American public to know that our brave law enforcement and DCFS personnel are still working to protect children during the coronavirus pandemic.”
Rob’s attorney Marty Singer has since responded and told PEOPLE: “First and foremost, the health, safety and well-being of Dream is and has always been Rob’s top priority.

“Rob’s current nanny of the last two years has a high risk pregnancy and in the process of leaving his employment at will. Unfortunately Dream has had two accidents in the last month while with this nanny.”
He continued: “Rob treated Dream appropriately and Chyna was informed. Following an investigation by the DCFS and the police, in which Rob fully cooperated, he has every reason to believe that there will be no findings of any safety issues in his home.

“It should be noted that on multiple occasions third parties have called on DCFS to visit Chyna’s home for treatment of Dream and within the last month, Dream has arrived to Rob from Chyna with many unexplained injuries including rashes, cuts, bruises and a dislocated arm.”
However, the allegations didn’t stop there as Rob’s statement continued: “Just this past Saturday while Chyna was claiming that she was so concerned about Dream’s safety, Chyna posted a video on Instagram depicting three-year-old Dream on her seven-year-old brother’s back while he was jumping on a trampoline.

“It is unfortunate that Chyna feels the need to publicly miscommunicate the situation and has once again wasted valuable public resources by calling first responders in a desperate attempt to smear Rob’s name in response to his ongoing lawsuit against her for full custody of their daughter.”
They added: “In his ongoing lawsuit for full custody of Dream, Rob has had grave concerns about his daughter’s safety in Chyna’s care, and is grateful for the brave witnesses who have come forward to testify regarding the danger which Chyna presents their daughter in her home.
“His motion was set to be heard yesterday March 24 but will be moved due to the coronavirus pandemic. He eagerly awaits the opportunity to present the available evidence at the earliest opportunity.
“Neither Rob or Chyna have visitation as both parties have joint legal and physical custody as they have since 2017.”
Rob and Blac first began dating in January 2016, but had separated by the summer of 2017.
