The wake of a childhood prank turned dangerous in Tifton, Georgia, where 12-year-old Trey West was severely burned after friends poured boiling water on him while he was asleep. The burns mainly affected his face and required urgent surgery at a specialized burn center.
According to his mother Tiffany, the boys, aged 12 to 15, thought the prank would be funny but the consequences were far from lighthearted. After surgery, Trey has shown resilience in recovery but faces the challenges of physical healing and psychological trauma.
The pranksters were arrested and await court hearings. Supporters continue to offer help, emphasizing the importance of accountability and empathy among youth.
