An 11-year-old New York girl is permanently scarred after her so-called friends dumped boiling water on her face during a sleepover in the Bronx.
Family members said Jamoneisha Merritt has not yet been given a mirror to see the severe damage done to her face and neck. While Merritt slept, a 12-year-old girl threw boiling water on her. That child is now being charged with felony assault.
Investigators are looking into whether this crime was inspired by an apparent social media trend called the "Hot Water Challenge." It involves stunts where unsuspecting victims get hot water thrown at them.
