man, just when you think people can't sink any lower..

2 1/2 -year-old boy was severely burned yesterday afternoon at the playground of a Middle River elementary school after going down a slide doused in sulfuric acid and landing in a pool of the corrosive liquid.

Authorities said they believe vandals stole the industrial-strength drain cleaner from a storage closet at Victory Villa Elementary School and poured it over pieces of playground equipment.

The boy, who lives less than a quarter-mile from the school, was in fair condition last night at Johns Hopkins Hospital's pediatric burn unit. He was being treated for third-degree chemical burns - the acid having penetrated three layers of skin.

"We found this liquid on everything - the jungle gym, the monkey bars - everything," said Baltimore County Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Vickie Warehime. "Having one child hurt is one too many, but it's amazing - and we're so thankful - that more children weren't hurt."

Yesterday's incident came just two days after a similar one in Texas. A 2-year-old girl there suffered minor burns on her left forearm and buttocks after she got on a playground slide. Investigators in the Austin suburb of Leander said they believe someone sprayed the slide, benches and the grass at a community park with hydrochloric acid stolen from a community pool, according to media reports. The girl was back home by Friday.

The sicko should suffer a slow painful death.

I vote for hydrofluoric acid. no pain for 1 day, suddenly you have no skeletal system.

Its situations like this that make me think we should go back to burning people at the stake

So very unfortunate. Sentient, intelligent beings, posessing brains with more capability than they apparently realize, and this is what they decide to do. What a waste.

I want to believe this was done by some stupid, stupid, stupid teenager who thought it would be a funny joke. "A little acid... all their clothes will be ruined..."

I really don't want to think that someone set out to severely maim a kid. Too bad I'm a grown up and I know better... I can't pacify my rage with that.

Now has Texas ever backed that philosophy? I think not Texans are "go get 'em" type of people. Acid is most likely form of retribution - or a lynching. *Shrugs*

excellent idea. that assshole should be slowly submerged in hydrofluoric acid. as in one mm every minute. that should last long enough. perhaps with constant injections of Calcium gluconate to make it last longer.

Casino Royal style... :Q

Or we could do it Airplane! style where everyone takes a turn at beating the crap out of him. Meh... there are lots of guys in prison who have kids that go to playgrounds. And as luck would have it, prison guards have kids too. Find the guy. Convict the guy. Let the convicts sort it out. They're much more creative than we are.
