Remove from insulated objects

Separate the child from objects that come in contact with current. Do this with the help of any insulated object like rubber shoe, plastic rod, dry wood.

Due to current, the body temperature falls, hence it is important to bring the body to a stable temperature by keeping the child warm. Wrap the child with warm clothes. You can also provide warmth to the child by taking him in your lap or by keeping him in contact with the body. 

Wash with clean water.
