Girl Struggling To Walk After Vicious Acid Attack in Detroit Playground
newsweek ^ | July 16, 2023 | Maura Zurick

An 11-year-old girl was left with chemical burns so severe that she struggles to walk after a 12-year-old girl allegedly doused her with an unidentified acid at a Detroit, Michigan, playground, the victim told local news outlets.

The 12-year-old, who has not been named publicly, has been charged with one count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm and one count of felonious assault, The victim, 11-year-old Deaira Summers, said to local media outlets that she was at the Vernor Elementary School playground on July 9 with her siblings and cousin when the cousin got into an argument with a 12-year-old girl. Summers said that she was not involved in the fight that led to the 12-year-old allegedly tossing a substance on her, which caused second and third-degree burns on her back, legs, and arms.

Newsweek reached out via GoFundMe on Sunday to the victim's family.

The victim's family said they blame the 12-year-old's mother for giving the girl the substance used in the attack. Summers said to WDIV that she saw the 12-year-old's mother met her daughter near the park to give the girl "a bottle filled with liquid," which Summers' family believes to be some sort of acid.

What I find incomprehensible is there are publications that have photographs of the burned child's wounds. Why would parents allow that?

Never heard of acid attacks, until I visited the mid-east and south Asia.

Which is a clue to the identity of the 12 year old girl, I reckon

I recall hearing they used to occur in the old South, among African American females, as retaliation for taking someone’s man away. The acid used was lye, used in home-made soap making.

Streetwalkers use acid splash for self defense, or so I am told.

Lye (sodium hydroxide) is a base, not an acid.

Lye is a base (high pH), the opposite of an acid (low pH). Either an acid or a base can destroy tissue, though, if it’s strong enough.

I started hear about acid attacks in the US about 10 or 15 years ago.

Most involved Muslim immigrants or on rare occasions urban dwellers.

It always seemed to me a rather hazardous weapon because of the real possibility that you could end up with it accidentally on you rather than your target.

I can only imagine using a chemical as a weapon of necessity/opportunity

The child probably wants the world to know what happened to her and to help stop this evil.

People who call for a lid on some stories are usually employees of institutions that don’t want to be blamed or outed as incompetent.

The ‘mother’ who allowed this and assisted should be tried and jailed... forever.

Of course she will be out of jail before the child is out therapy. The usual upside down ‘justice’ that happens in our hellhole cities.

I wonder where the kid originates from. Most disturbed Americans kids would club, stab or shoot their victim.

Muslims love that stuff. A 12 year old was given acid and learned how to do it.

I can’t comprehend why the mother, who supplied the acid for the attack, has not been arrested or charged with ANYTHING. And why is her name not published, since hopefully the mother of a twelve year old is at least over 18. Is the woman’s name revealing? Does she have a prior criminal record?
