[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] - Dominick Krankall, 6, was playing in the backyard of his family's Bridgeport home with other children when the horrifying incident occurred
- The bully, identified as an 8-year-old neighbor, lured Krankall to meet him around the corner when he poured gasoline on a tennis ball, lit it and threw it
- The young victim ran home screaming: 'Mommy, they lit me on fire'
- Family members said this is not the first time their boy was bullied and hospitalized by the same child
- Krankall was rushed to the burn unit at Bridgeport Hospital and is suffering from severe burns to his face and legs
Now, the family is asking for donations that will go toward Dominick's hospital bills and a new home.
'It is not safe here. Anything helps, even a share. Thank you all for the support. I'm sure Dominick appreciates it,' the family wrote.
As of Wednesday afternoon, their GoFundMe has amassed more than $58,000 donations, surpassing their initial goal of $50,000. |
