A six-year-old Connecticut boy is hospitalized with severe burns to his face and legs after he was intentionally lit on fire by another child, who poured gasoline on a tennis ball, lit the ball on fire and threw it at the child's face.
The youngster, identified as Dominick Krankall, survived the vicious attack but is suffering from severe second-and-third degree burns to his face and legs.
'My six-year-old brother could've died. The kid covered a ball in gasoline, lit it on fire and threw it at him. All in a matter of seconds,' wrote the victim's sister, Kayla Deegan, on a GoFundMe page.
'He's going to be scarred for life mentally and physically.'
The horrific attack happened Sunday when Dominick was playing in the backyard of his family's home located on Louisiana Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with a group of children, who are reportedly tenants in the home.
According to Deegan, the eight-year-old neighbor entered a shed on the property and somehow got hold of gasoline and lighters and called Dominick over.
She said after the bully threw the fireball, then 'ran away and watched him [Dominick] burn,' NBC News reported.
John Cappiello, media relations coordinator with Bridgeport Hospital, told DailyMail.com on Wednesday that Dominick 'remains in fair condition today.'
The Connecticut Burn Center at Bridgeport Hospital is Connecticut's only Burn Center. It is one of the only 62 verified Burn Centers in the United States
The City of Bridgeport's public information officer, Scott Appleby, was unavailable when DailyMail.com called regarding the investigation into the case.

Burn victims are so hard for me to look at....I think it is the pain that radiates from them. I had a hard time adjusting to JR Martinez on Dancing with the Stars..who was fabulous

And he won the season
Prayers for this poor little boy who will have a life time of recovery.
The adults of today, who have made young life devoid of innocence. This includes scummy judges, scummy politicians, scummy people in the 'entertainment' industry, and all those on the left who push things like teaching sex to kindergartners.
On google maps, that location is actually a big apartment complex. Per city-data, that complex is less than 22% White.
Disgusting! The parents of this boy should be held to account, period.
the gofundme from the sister would seem to indicate that the parents think it is joke ...and the boy accused is innocent.
This thinking may be why they raised a bully
Also, get that bully some mental help or otherwise society will be saddles with another violent freak.
porn and violent music and video games.....lets teach our kids to be animals in one quick step...
This story just breaks my heart. Would be good if all Freepers could help out a little bit.
all crime is hate but does this fit in the “hate” hate crime list?
Pravda has told us the missing information.
They aren’t being properly taught evil. The left does not recognize evil, but they substitute words like empathy and teach people to empathize with evil.
Sounds like the parents need the bat.
Thank you for posting that GoFundMe link. What a horrible and monstrous thing to be done to anybody yet alone a 6-year old child.
Their mothers do not bond with them. Even if there’s a husband and family the mother, immediately on finding out she is having a baby, seeks child care then dumps her child with strangers or others who don’t love the baby. The mother never bonds with the child
The child is forever in grief. That takes on many behavioral situations
Sven the poor sweet 6 year old was abandoned by his mother.it’s April. That bully had been taunting him for 8 months.
>>Per city-data, that complex is less than 22% White.<<
Young white boy, living in a predominantly non-white area, is generally in mortal danger these days.
