Children Suffer Chemical Burns After Acid Poured on Massachusetts Playground Slides

Acid was poured on three slides at Bliss Park playground in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, causing chemical burns to two children.
The acid was identified as muriatic acid and stolen from a storage room in the park's swimming pool facility.
The perpetrators broke into the storage room and poured the acid on the slides, and likely suffered burns themselves while handling the corrosive chemical.
The park remains closed for cleaning and the investigation is ongoing as authorities ask the public for any information to find those responsible.
The children were taken to the hospital for treatment of their injuries from exposure to the dangerous substance.
