A 6-year-old boy in Connecticut has been hospitalized with second- and third-degree burns after his family said a bully covered a tennis ball with gasoline, lit it on fire and threw it at his face.
Preliminary reports indicate that up to four unattended children were seen playing with gasoline and lighting objects on fire the day of the incident, the Bridgeport Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security said in a statement.her brother was playing in the backyard when "the bully called his name and lured him over around the corner."
An 8-year-old neighbor entered a shed on the property and somehow got ahold of gasoline and lighters and called Dominick over, Deegan said. Dominick was taken to the burn unit at Bridgeport Hospital shortly before 4 p.m. Sunday. Photos of the boy show his face nearly completely wrapped in bandages. The parts of his face that are visible are swollen.The cause of the burn injuries remains under investigation. As of Tuesday night, no charges had been filed.“Two months ago under the bully’s mother’s supervision, he was pushed into a wall and fell to the floor. And again, the mother refuses to admit her kid did it,” she said.
