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!”

The burns should heal completely without blemishes esp if they use some of the latest in grafting materials.

No fathers in this story.

I get that the feral girl who did this is only 12, but charged only with assault? “Prank-gone-wrong” be damned —
I think attempted murder is more in order.

Jamoneisha, Shernett, Aniya.......................The National Hurricane Center should be notified to add these names to its list....................

The scalding can’t do any worse damage to her life than that name.

“They always prank each other,” Panton said. “My daughter was sleeping and Jamoni poured cold water on Aniya. My daughter was like, ‘OK, if you’re gonna do a prank on me, I’m gonna prank you back.’ “But my daughter — I don’t know what she was thinking — boiled hot water and poured it on Jamoni’s face.”

The attacker is 12 - words fail me.

Jamoneisha Merritt, 11, suffered second-degree burns on her face and shoulders after her friend dumped boiling water on her as she slept.

I mean what is the process of actually coming up with these names?

[Seruzawa]

Dumping boiling water on someone is a prank? I guess blowing down the twin towers was an elaborate practical joke then.

Are we really reaching the point in our lack of humanity that we criticizing this girl’s name or home life?

An innocent child’s life changed forever at a slumber party. Show some mercy on this baby.

In what world is pouring boiling water on someone’s face considered a prank?

[Wolfie]

We reached that point a long time ago.

I thought it came from playing Scrabble and going with the random letters.

“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!”

This woman is not making empty threats, she actually is planning this.
