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.

In better times a few good men would have already burned the perpetrator’s house to the ground.
