“12 years old. They can do incredibly stupid things.”
Not THAT stupid. A 12 year old would know that at the very least, it would hurt like all hell. I’m sure she would never consider putting her finger into a pot of boiling water.
Its not about knowing theres pain involved. Its about understanding just how serious the injuries are. I have no doubt she sought retaliation but i have no idea if she understood how seriously she would hurt her.
