Woman sentenced for throwing hot water on child in Longueuil

A Quebec woman, Stéphanie Borel, was sentenced to 27 months in prison for throwing boiling water on a 10-year-old boy, resulting in second-degree burns. Borel, 47, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault related to the incident, which occurred on October 2, 2024, when the boy was playing a “ring-and-run” game near her home. The court noted that there was no evidence of racial targeting, and the boy’s family expressed ongoing fear from the attack. Borel has 20 months remaining on her sentence after her bail was revoked.
