I feel like we live in a third-world country.

[–] Creyapnilla 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A third-world country with casual access to caustic chemicals ☝️😌

[–] SheeEttin 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some kind of cleaning product maybe? Or something stolen from chemistry class?

The local article says the 12 year old's mother gave it to her in a bottle. The article also describes the substance as a "weapon".

Battery acid can do the trick

They should go after the adults with important questions about why she had access to such an acid.

Most people probably have drain cleaner stashed somewhere in their house under a sink somewhere. This isn't exactly one of those situations where a kid finds a loaded gun in their parent's unlocked nightstand.

[–] TenderfootGungi 1 points 1 year ago

Probably, but do we know that?
