Notice is often all some individuals want. From time to time it does not matter, like when someone shaves their head. Occasional individuals just seem pathetic in things, like going on a reality Television show. Occasionally, people hurt themselves and other people with the choices they make to get notice. Well, that’s what Storro did. The acid face attack tale she provided the press was a hoax, and she permanently disfigured herself.
Bethany Storro supposedly attacked
Some time ago, a story went out over the news wires of a young woman, one Bethany Storro of Vancouver, Wash., who had been attacked and disfigured. Supposedly, someone just came up and threw acid on her face. Nobody thought this was a hoax. It was a young woman who was now disfigured because of acid. Bethany Storro, according to CNN was admitted to the hospital on Aug. 30, and released Sept. 5. She claimed that a young African-American woman had asked her if she wanted anything to drink and threw acid in her face.
Acid attack hoax admitted
It was the perfect story. It also was a cliché being used. It also turned out to be false. According to Time, as she neared release, police began investigating some things that did not add up. Bethany Storro’s acid burns were suspicious. They looked like they had been applied carefully rather than just thrown in her face. Sky News reports that sulfuric or hydrochloric acid was likely used for this. There were a lot of questions asked about all of this. She just admitted it was all a hoax. The meat dress and balloon boy compare to this. They were all just stunts happening.
Paying for the problem
Bethany Storro will have to live with scars for a long time. She may have it the rest of her life. Also, she submitted a false police report. This means she will likely get charges for that as well. She got a lot of donations to pay for the hospital bills. She is going to have to pay those back also as paying all the bills by her.
