“She is lucky to be alive but will need ongoing care to fully heal from all the wounds she incurred,” the grandmother wrote.

Dominique Summers, Deaira’s mother, told local WXYZ her daughter suffered burns on her back, legs, and arms.

Wait, so the 12-year-old's mom handed her the acid? Why isn't the mom in a jail cell right now? If she did this, she needs to go to prison and her kids should be taken away from her ASAP.

MOO.

Where on earth did this girl get chemical acid ????

Thankful this 11 year old didn't die or suffer facial disfigurement, but still ....

Burns are terrible, and this 11 year old could have been blinded !

I don't know if school is out of session in Detroit (it is here in my area) but many children go to play on the playground equipment and use the basketball hoop etc during summer months here.

I am with the parents and many of you on this. If indeed an adult brought acid to that playground to add fuel to a grade school girl dispute that adult should be charged with everything they can throw at her. (no pun intended)

There’s a thread for a case in Florida that just happened – – two adult sisters were fighting, and one attempted to throw muriatic acid (commonly used for swimming pool cleaning) at the other, missed, and instead hit her young niece (daughter of the sister she was fighting wit), with it, apparently injuring the child badly enough that the assailant aunt was charged with aggravated assault and various other crimes.

This is all to say, it doesn’t seem as uncommon a plan of attack as we might assume. In fact, I only recently saw an episode of the CBS fictional crime drama “FBI International“ which featured a story about a young ballerina who was attacked with acid and permanently disfigured by someone who wanted to permanently ruin her chances of being a star.
