Tifton: A 12-year-old boy is recovering after a shocking incident at a sleepover. His friends thought it would be funny to pour boiling water on him while he was asleep. Can you believe that?
The boy, who was at his neighbor’s place, ended up with serious burns on his face. His mom, Tiffany, was understandably furious and heartbroken. She said it was just a prank that went way too far.
After the incident, he was rushed to a burn center for treatment. Tiffany shared how she felt in that moment—mad, hurt, and in total shock. It’s tough to see your child go through something like that.
The police got involved and arrested the three boys responsible. They were released to their families but will have to face court next month. It’s a wild situation, and the boy’s aunt mentioned he’s just numb about it all. It’s hard to process when your friends do something so terrible.
Healing from second-degree burns can take a while, and the family is now facing a mountain of medical bills. Tiffany hasn’t been able to work since the incident, and it’s been a struggle for them. They’re just trying to get through this together.
