According to the girl’s mother, the victim, Jamoneisha Merritt was at a sleepover when her friend threw boiling water at her while she was sleeping early Monday morning.
Jamoneisha suffered burns to her face, neck, shoulders, and chest which came as the result of a game called the "hot water challenge," in which an unsuspecting victim has hot water thrown on them.
"She’s very sad,: her mother, Ebony told NY1. "She’s emotionally messed up. She don’t understand why they did that to her. She thought they were her friends."
"I was told that they didn’t like her. And they just been bullying her. They’ve been on Snapchat. It’s been going on several times. The girl admitted it. ‘I don’t like her. I wanted to do it."
She was admitted to hospital with second-degree burns. The 12-year-old girl who allegedly poured water on her was arrested and is now facing a felony assault charge.
