Hannah Combs, a 15-year-old freshman at Harker Heights High School, was taken to urgent care after suffering from first-degree burns at the hands of a bully.

The 14-year-old student approached Combs from behind before school started and poured superglue over her hair and scalp. "My head immediately lit up on fire," she told KCEN [3]. "It's horrific. I can't describe how awful it is going to school after that." Not only did doctors spend half an hour trying to remove the glue from her scalp, but Combs had to shave her head and experienced chemicals burns from the glue.

Instead of being transferred, the boy received three days of in-school suspension, and according to his mother, he is on probation for 45 days. That punishment just isn't enough for Combs's father, who wants the boy to be transferred. While the classes and lunch period that the two shared have been switched, Combs is still uncomfortable at school with him and seeing him in the halls.

"I'm not going to pull my daughter out and uproot her from her life because of what this kid did to her," her father, Christian Combs, said. "That child that did this to her, uproot his life. He gave up the opportunity to go to Harker Heights when he committed the act."

According to the boy, who hasn't been named, he was just horseplaying around with another student at the time of the incident. "He's not denying what he did, and he knows he is wrong," said his mother. "But because they are seeking revenge, it has gotten out of hand. Now people are retaliating."

The boy said that he didn't know until later that Hannah had to go to the doctor or have her head shaved. "I don't really cry, but I just went into tears," he said. "I realized at that moment what I had done."

Although Combs's family stands firm that the boy put glue in her hair intentionally, they do not condone any threats made against the boy and believe every student deserves a safe learning environment.
