Juveniles charged with dousing acid on playground slides that injured 4 children
Two juveniles have been charged after several slides at a Massachusetts park were doused with acid in this summer and four children were injured, the Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said.
The juveniles, whose identities cannot be released due to their ages, have been charged with four counts of assault and battery on a child with injury and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon as well as vandalism, Gulluni said. His office did not say whether the pair have been arrested.

that's some real psycho shit right there.
And the parents need to have a serious talking to as well. This shit is just wrong and often speaks to parents not paying attention.
On first reading I thought they had dosed the children with LSD. Was thinking great, now we'll hear about this in Facebook posts and email forwards for years
Damn, the shady guy in a trench coat offering free drugs was real this whole time!
They don't forward that stuff when it is true.
Shouldn’t it be ‘assault and battery acid ‘?
Follow the exit signs, dad.
Hey, thanks very much. I’m here all week. Try the fish.
I SAID get OUT! You’re SO EMBARRASSING!
Don’t worry, when you grow up you’ll make jokes JUST like me.
It was actually muriatic acid that had been stolen from a storage area on site.
Often used for pools.
It’s not hydrochloric, butit’s still very not great to get on yourselfEdit: I am sorry, I am dumb. They’re more or less the same. Muriatic is basically just hydrochloric with impurities.
What do you mean it’s not hydrochloric? Both are HCl, right?
Yeah it’s literally hydrochloric acid.
Yes; apologies, I am not a chemist, and I forgot that it’s just different names for variants of the same thing.
No one proof reads these days.
Proofreads. ;)
Stupid autocarrot.
Glad they were charged, it is what they deserve.
"injured" or "confused", there's a fundamental difference.
Yep, all parents in Massachusetts are awful because of these two little shit head kids.
It's almost like immature people who's brains still have a long way to go have difficulty grasping long term consequences and haven't developed restraint over impulsive thoughts.
Weird.
I don't see their ages listed in the article. How old are they?
