A couple weeks ago a woman named Bethany Storro filed a police report claiming a black woman came up to her asking if she wanted something to drink and continued by throwing a cup of acid in her face. However, the story did not match the burn patterns on Storro's face. The police got a search warrant for her house and at that point she admitted to filing a false report and that she had done this to herself. People from all over the country were setting up support for Storro, from facebook support groups to donations for her at banks and fundraisers. People felt really bad, she was interviewed many different places and got much attention. She talked about why someone would ever do such a thing to her, drawing in more sympathy. After searching Storro's home and car the police found zero evidence of any acid traces. The acid used to burn her face was as strong as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. Very strong substances.
Since there was no trace of any acid found at Storro's home or car, i kind of begin to wonder if maybe she is trying to cover up for someone. But i am not sure. She probably just did a really nice job of hiding her evidence because I'm sure she didn't plan on coming out and telling everyone that she burned her face herself, for sympathy and money. I cannot believe someone would stoop so low and accept all the sympathy and donations when they knew they did this to themself. How selfish and stupid. She must have some serious problems if she thought that it was okay to do something like this. Taking money from people who truly care when you know you did this to yourself is beyond selfish. I can't imagine what was going through this woman's head if she would possibly stoop so low to do something like that and then have the audacity to go and speak publicly about how she is just so confused as to why someone would do such a thing to her. I mean, yes i am sorry you felt the need you had to go burn your face with acid to get some sympathy and support, but that is just not okay. Maybe though, she was in such deep pain that this was kind of like a cry out for help from her. I guess i can't say but i hope she gets whatever the help she needs and we can figure out why she did what she did. However, if i were one of the people who had come together in hopes of helping her out and trying to find the person who did this to her, I would be quite upset.
