Peer Bullying in Istanbul: 12-Year-Old Boy Burned

In a terrible incident that took place in Istanbul, a 12-year-old boy was burned with a lighter by pouring cologne on his back by his peers. The little boy, who suffered third-degree burns on his body, was discharged after being treated in the hospital for 25 days, but soon he fell ill again and was taken to the hospital and lost consciousness.

As part of the judicial process initiated after the incident, one of the suspected children was placed under house arrest, while the other child was released due to his age. The family of the victim child expressed the horror that occurred immediately after the incident, stating that the children misled them by saying "he fell down the slide" and tried to hide the situation.
