INFORMATION NIGERIA
– A crazy teen took revenge on a girl by burning her face with boiling
water after she unfriended him on Facebook, according to police in
India.
The Independent reports that the boy, from Bihar state in northern
India, came to the 15-year-old victim’s house on Wednesday and said he
had left his I.D. in the home. He then allegedly shoved the girl’s
mother aside and poured water on the victim’s face.
The Times of India reported that the girl was taken to a hospital
where she’s being treated for burns to 20 percent of her face including
her right cheek and right side of her neck.
Police are currently looking for him after he fled, following the
incident. He is an undergraduate student at a Muzaffarpur college.
In a translation of a statement to police obtained by the Hindustan
Times, the victim said, “My father is a teacher and he (the accused)
used to come for tuitions to our home. I accepted his (Facebook) friend
request a year ago because I found him decent then. But of late he had
become abusive and so I unfriended him last week.”
Gawker reports that “with Facebook steadily becoming the exclusive
means of communication among teens in India, tragic news stories
involving young Indian Facebook users are similarly on the rise.”
In October, a 17-year-old Indian girl reportedly committed suicide
after her parents banned her from Facebook, according to the Indo-Asian
News Service.
