12-year-old girl charged after 11-year-old girl severely burned in acid attack at Detroit playground
DETROIT – A 12-year-old girl is facing criminal charges after an 11-year-old girl was severely burned in an acid attack at a Detroit playground.
Deaira Summers was attacked on Sunday, July 9, at a playground attached to Vernor Elementary School in Detroit. She spent three days at Children’s Hospital being treated for severe burns.
The incident started with a fight at the playground that Summers said she was not involved in. Her family said two girls in their early teens, one of them was Summers’ cousin, got into a fight at the playground.
Summers’ family said the 12-year-old girl’s mother handed her a bottle filled with liquid. They said the 12-year-old girl threw the liquid at Summers, her cousins, and her siblings. Summers suffered burns on her back, legs, and arms. She ran home after the attack.
The 12-year-old girl has been charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm and felonious assault.
A preliminary hearing was held on Saturday and a $10,000/% bond with a tether was ordered. The 12-year-old girl was ordered to have no contact with Summers or any witnesses.
The 12-year-old girl will be in court again at 1:30 p.m. on July 18, 2023.

Spirit of Detroit rocks Lions jersey ahead of historic NFL playoff run
The Spirit of Detroit statue wore a Lions jersey after their win against the Vikings helped them get their first No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. Seen Jan. 6, 2025.
Ahead of the Detroit Lions’ Saturday showdown with the Washington Commanders in the NFL playoffs (8 p.m., FOX), Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has invited residents to submit their best artistic interpretations of the team’s logo, with a chance to be featured on the governor’s social media pages.
“The Lions have captured our hearts and made us all hopeful for a Super Bowl this year,” Whitmer said in a statement. “Join me in rooting them on by submitting your version of the team logo. Let’s show the Lions that we got their backs as they enter the playoffs.”
Residents are invited to submit their drawings of the Lions’ logo at michigan.gov/onepride.
Detroit, for the first time in the franchise’s history, earned the top seed in the conference, getting a bye week and home field advantage in the playoffs. Detroit won its second straight NFC North division title in 2024, finishing with a 15-2 record. They’ll host Washington, who is fresh off a 23-20 road win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round.
The winner will advance to the NFC Championship game, the same stage the Lions fell in the playoffs last year against the San Francisco 49ers. In the other NFC Divisional round matchup, the Philadelphia Eagles are hosting the Los Angeles Rams.
