Playground Vandalism Leaves Children with Acid Burns in Massachusetts

Two children suffered "burn like injuries" after playing at a Massachusetts playground that had been doused in acid. The acidic material had been poured on three of the slides on the playground. The pump room in the basement of the park's pool building had been broken into, and the perpetrators had climbed two fences and entered the pool building through a ventilation shaft. A hazmat team determined that muriatic acid was the chemical poured on the slides. An investigation remains underway as to who was behind the break-in and acid attack.
