Dominick was horrifically burned in the attack, and now his outraged family is seeking help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Mom Forced To Kill Beloved Family Dog After It Attacks Her Infant Daughter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<em>NBC New York<\/em>, Dominick was playing in the backyard of his family\u2019s home in the city of Bridgeport on Sunday when the 8-year-old boy reportedly got into a shed on the property. Once inside, the boy was able to reach a canister of gasoline and some lighters. He lured Dominick over to the shed, the outlet claims, before lighting a tennis ball on fire and tossing it at the younger boy.<\/p>\n<p>Dominick\u2019s older sister <strong>Kayla Deegan<\/strong> told the outlet what allegedly occurred at that point:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat he did was pour gasoline on a tennis ball, took a lighter, lit it up and just chucked it right at my brother\u2019s face \u2014 and then ran away from him and watched him burn.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Deegan added more details about the nearly-fatal attack on her little brother as part of a fundraiser page on\u00a0<strong>GoFundMe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The protective sister wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy little brother Dom has been bullied for a while by the tenants downstairs.

Yesterday was the first time he actually was able to get a few bites of food past his extremely swollen lips and into his mouth. He could only handle a few bites, but that is some good news. He will sip soup out of a straw as well.\u00a0He\u2019s such a tough little cookie. The bravest 6 year old I\u2019ve ever known.
