As August came to an end, a 13-year-old boy in Chicago was charged with pouring sulfuric acid on two of his classmates.  The students suffered burns to their necks and arms.  The mother of one of the children said the acid was so strong that it melted the jewelry on her daughter’s arm.  Both of the little victims survived, but this story certainly got my attention.
