Quebec Woman Faces Aggravated Assault Charge for Scalding 10-Year-Old with Boiling Water

The boy suffered severe burns after being doused with hot water while walking home from school in Longueuil, Quebec.

The incident occurred on October 2, when the boy was hit with boiling water from a neighbor's balcony.
Stéphanie Borel, 46, was arrested and released on a promise to appear in court, facing conditions not to contact the victim.
The boy was hospitalized with second-degree burns to his face, head, and upper body.
Longueuil Mayor Catherine Fournier stated she cannot legally intervene in the decision to release Borel.
The boy's father refuted Borel's claim that the child had been knocking on her door for years, as they moved to the area only recently.
