Video After The Jump
CNN — A 12-year-old girl in Detroit is facing charges after allegedly throwing acid on an 11-year-old girl at a playground.
Deaira Summers, the 11-year-old suffered 2nd-degree burns on her back, legs & arms in the July 9 attack, her mom, Dominique Summers told CNN affiliate WXYZ.
Summers said Deaira was playing with her siblings & cousins at a playground when she was caught in the middle of an altercation between the 12-year-old & 1 of Deaira’s family members.
“I feel like it was the most evil thing you could do to a kid & especially the fact that she was an innocent bystander,” Summers told WXYZ.
The 12-year-old is expected in court Tuesday afternoon for a hearing on the charges – assault with intent to do great bodily harm & felonious assault.
Summers said life for her & Deaira has changed since the attack.
“It takes maybe 2 hours what used to be 20 minutes getting dressed,” she told WXYZ. “It takes about 2 hours to give her her medicine. I have to give her medication 30 minutes before she takes a bath.”
During a preliminary hearing over the weekend, bond for the 12-year-old was set at $10,000.
