A baby boy who was burned in a park in Brisbane when someone spilt coffee at him has gone home from the hospital.
Before returning home, the one-year-old underwent a third surgery.
To start the skin grafting procedure, he must go back to the hospital on Friday and then again on Monday.
The claimed suspect has still not been located, according to police, who gave no updates on the inquiry today.

The boy has burns on his face and chest, and according to Queensland legislation, he cannot be labelled as a child victim of crime.
Yesterday around midday, the nine-month-old and his mother were having a picnic at Hanlon Park in Stones Corner when they were ambushed.
The baby has burns on his chest and face.
When the neighbouring nurse heard the screams, she hurried to assist, taking the mother and her boy to her house so the child could be cleaned up.
