13 year old nigger throws acid on 11 year old girl that blew him off
Mike Gross
CHICAGO - A 13-year-old boy is charged in the acid attack that severely
burned a 10-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl.
The suspect was cited in a juvenile delinquency petition, accused of
heinous battery, and turned over to Juvenile Court for processing.
Nala Armstrong, 11, and Adrian Bennett, 10, were hospitalized in serious
condition after having sulfuric acid poured over on them Tuesday
afternoon. It happened just after 2 p.m. at an apartment complex in the
900 block of West Garfield.
The mother of Nala Armstrong said her daughter suffered second and third
degree burns to her entire body after a 13-year-old boy poured a
draino-type acid on her from a second floor porch.
"She's got burns to her head, face, chest and legs, her bracelet even
melted into her wrist," said Gwendolyn Davis.
10-year-old Adrian Bennet suffered burns to his head, neck and back.
"The chemical left black marks on his back," said Loretta Corbett, the
boy's mother.
The suspect's mother said in court Wednesday her son thought he was
tossing only a pail of water.
The mother said the boy had been playing at his cousin's South Side
house Tuesday. She said the kids all play together and they've never had
any problems.
Davis however said her daughter was attacked because she rejected
advances by the 13-year-old boy, the alleged attacker.
But the suspect's aunt, Denise McClendon, says she doesn't believe that.
"He's too young for a girlfriend anyway. He didn't do it intentionally,
he kicked it over and it spilled below into the kids," she says.
Both teens remain hospitalized in the intensive care unit at Comer
Children's hospital but are expected to be transferred to the burn unit.
Dr. Lawrence Gottleib, director of Comer's burn unit, said their burns
could require surgery and more than a week of hospitalization.
