Dominick suffered terrible burns to his face and legs.
So Laura Giacobbe is furious, and told the Post She says she actually helped Dominick’s mom by instructing her to get him in a bathtub immediately because his legs were on fire.
Giacobbe says Dominick’s mom called police and accused her son of intentionally dousing Dominick with gas and throwing a flaming soccer ball at him.
Laura says there was absolutely no bullying and it was just a horrible accident. She’s outraged at Dominick’s mom and wants her to answer to the law. She also adds, his mom should have been supervising her son better in their own backyard.
Dominick’s mom is sticking to her story, telling the Post Laura is a “liar.” She says the video is edited and it took a month-and-a-half to come out.
Dominick’s mom set up a GoFundMe account with the caption “Justice for Dominik … STOP BULLYING!” and raised $500k.
