Bronx mom vows revenge as daughter, 11, recovers from horrific burns caused by prank gone wrong
New York Daily News ^ | August 10, 2017 | Adam Shrier, Catherina Gioio, and Larry McShane

A schoolgirl prank gone gruesomely wrong left an 11-year-old Bronx girl hospitalized with severe facial burns — and her rage-filled mom bent on revenge.

Relatives of hospitalized Jamoneisha Merritt called Thursday for arrests in the scalding of the girl at her friend’s Bronx apartment.

The victim’s mother Ebony Merritt appeared outside the home of Shernett Panton and her 12-year-old daughter Aniya Grant Stuart, spewing obscenities and threats.

“I’m going to cut your face, you f---ing b---h!” Merritt screamed at Panton. “I’m going to burn your f---ing house down! You let this happen to my daughter!”

That’s because the animal shelter wouldn’t let them be interviewed.

Oh I am sure she would, and I would too.

Thing is you just don’t talk about it. You don’t tell the people you are going to do it to that you are going to do it.

You just do it, and you never speak of it with anyone.

I call people with these names “Scrabble.” Too many of them seem to have resulted whenMama dumped out the bag of scrabble tiles and picked 5 or 7 of them, lined them up and said, “that’s nice.”

Sympathy and prayers for the little girl and her Mom....The Mom’s anger is righteous as far as I’m concerned.

There are youtube videos trying to promote various dangerous things as pranks and the purveyors consider it victory if someone “falls” for it.
Same vein as the people trying to prank SJWs into doing things by saying it is virtue signalling, like the pee on yourself to be in solidarity with rape victims.

For Jamoneisha, you just have to watch the episode of the Cosby Show with a guest appearance by Stevie Wonder.

I hope the two families kill each other off. It would save at least $100,000 in welfare costs per year. Look at the 11-year old victim...she is already nearly 200 lbs! Your honky dollars at work helping "starving

Such hate. You need God in your life. I'm grateful to God every day for not giving me what I deserve, but rather showing great mercy toward me. I was a wicked, unrepentant wretch at one time, and God would have been justified to crush me into a fine powder.

“12 years old. They can do incredibly stupid things.”

Not THAT stupid. A 12 year old would know that at the very least, it would hurt like all hell. I’m sure she would never consider putting her finger into a pot of boiling water.

i agree she understands the hurt part but i’m not convinced she grasps the extent. Horribly tragic story.

Its not about knowing theres pain involved. Its about understanding just how serious the injuries are. I have no doubt she sought retaliation but i have no idea if she understood how seriously she would hurt her.
