Mercedes Michaels with bruises on her face
"Let go of her hair"Click here to see the video
17 year old Mercedes Michaels was pummeled and kicked in what police say was an unprovoked attack that left her bruised and battered, physically and emotionally.
"Right here and right here" She's showing the burn marks on his face.
Mercedes showed us where the girls' branded her face with a car cigarette lighter. They also burned her arm...And that wasn't the end of the assault.
"They cut my hair off, burnt my face, the scars are gonna be on my face for the rest of my life."
It happened at this Sauk Village park Tuesday afternoon. Chunks of Mercedes' hair are still in the sand. Her mother says she was outraged after seeing the video. The apparent motive: One of the girls mistakenly thought the boy who dumped her was dating Mercedes. That girl, 17 year old Sarah Kraft of Park Forest is accused of initiating the attack. She and 17 year old Marcelena Castillo of Steger who was kicking the victim, are now both charged with aggravated felony battery.
