6-Year-Old Hospitalized With 3rd Degree Burns From Bully, Parents Say

Six-year-old Dominic Krankall waved from his hospital room as first responders put on a parade to raise the spirits of the boy, who suffered second and third degree burns on his face. His parents say a bully threw a flaming tennis ball at the boy’s face in their own backyard. His family told police that an 8-year-old neighbor poured gasoline over a tennis ball, lit it, and threw it right at Dominic’s face. This isn’t the first time the bully has landed Dominic in the hospital, they say.
