Woman faked acid attack

This report was over a woman named Bethany Storro. Bethany had come to the media’s attention earlier this year when she suffered burns all over her face from acid. Originally she claimed that a woman came up to her on the street and asked if she wanted to drink this and then splashed a cup of acid in her face. She is now telling that she fabricated the story of the woman on the street and also that she was actually the one that splashed the acid on her own face.

I read the reports when she was first on the news and found it peculiar to say the least. I couldn’t imagine such an act being done. I felt sorry for the woman being attacked and wondered how anyone could do such a thing. After reading this new report about her confession I am even more baffled. It brings to mind so many questions. How crazy does someone have to be to do such a thing to themselves? What was she planning on getting out of this? She must have thought that fabricating this story would cause some sort of fame for her. I wonder if this world has really gotten this crazy or if maybe we just hear more about it now because of all the media. Maybe we have always been that crazy now we just know about it due to the instant access to news. I do feel as if people are desperate for attention these days especially anyone under the age of thirty. Maybe as a society we are not teaching our younger generations how to cope with problems. The saddest part of this is that with households needing both parents to work just to survive these days I don’t see a change anytime soon. As far as the lady that burned herself I guess she has received her punishment so I don’t think that they should press charges. I also hope that they get her the help that she needs.
