A 12-year-old girl has been charged in relation to an acid attack against another child that occurred in a Detroit park.

The girl, whose identity has not been disclosed, is facing charges of assault with intent to cause great bodily harm and felonious assault, as announced by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.

She has been ordered to have no contact with the victim, an 11-year-old girl identified as Dearia Summers.

Following a preliminary hearing, the court set a $10,000 bond for the accused, along with the requirement to wear a tether as a monitoring device while out on bond.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Tuesday, CBS News has reported.

Prosecutor Kym Worthy expressed deep concern over the allegations, calling them extremely troubling. She emphasized that there is no excuse for such harmful actions, which can have long-lasting effects on others.

Dearia’s mother, Dominique Summers, expressed her desire for additional charges to be filed against the suspect’s mother.

She described the traumatic experience, stating that her daughter arrived home with smoke emanating from her body and holes burned through her clothes.

Summers immediately called 911, recalling that her maternal instinct prompted her to put Dearia in a cold shower until the ambulance arrived.

The incident occurred on July 9 after an argument broke out among a group of girls at the playground, according to CBS Detroit.
