Dominick Krankall was playing with friends in his backyard on Sunday when the bully, who lives in a neighboring apartment, “called his name and lured him over around the corner,” his sister, Kayla Deegan, said. “In a matter of seconds he came back around the corner screaming, saying ‘Mommy, they lit me on fire.’” Deegan said she’d raised $168,000 viafor the family to relocate because they no longer feel safe. She claimed the 8-year-old serial bully pushed Dominick into a wall two months ago.
