deaf girl throws acid on herself

Saw it on the news today.
A remarkably upbeat and candid Storro, 28, sat in front of reporters a week ago at Legacy Emanuel Hospital and described how a woman threw acid on her face.
She spoke for about 20 minutes, sometimes laughing, sometime crying, using a tissue to dab at her eyes or nose, the only part of her face not covered in bandages.
Storro said she held the press conference to draw attention to efforts to find the attacker, but also to talk about her faith.
"I'm here today because of Jesus Christ," she said.
That Monday, Storro said she had just picked up a paycheck and decided to buy a pair of sunglasses, even though she doesn't favor wearing them.
"For some reason I had this feeling that I needed to go buy some sunglasses," she said. They ultimately saved the vision of a woman who has been partially deaf since childhood. "That's Jesus for sure," she said.
"To be hard of hearing and blind. That would drive them crazy," she said, laughing while motioning to her parents on either side of her.
today, it was all a lie ...
she admitted that she was the one who threw acid on herself.
her parents were deeply sorry about the hoax and they said did not know until yesterday that the ordeal was a hoax.
they were unaware their daughter had such deep internal psychological and emontional problems.
that is just bizzare....This is so sad on so many different levels. That she would do this to herself and throw the blame on someone else is both wrong and desperate. I hope that she gets some help. :/
