Shocking footage captures the moment 68-year-old Susan Varley was walking her four-year-old grandson to school when her neighbor, 56-year-old Ina Priestley, approached and splashed hot water in her face. 
The grandmother suffered severe burns to her scalp, forehead, left cheek, ear, and the back of her neck. Her vision was saved only thanks to glasses. Her grandson only escaped burns because he had the hood of his coat up.
Ina pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent at Leeds Crown Court. The court sentenced her to two years' community service and ordered her to complete up to 25 rehabilitation activities.
Susan, from Morley, Leeds, is still too ill to speak. Her daughter, Donna, 35, said:
"My mother is a shadow of her former self. She used to be sociable, but now she hardly leaves the house. She lives in constant fear: what if she's attacked again—whether with acid or a knife? She's still tormented by the memories of what happened, and she experiences not only physical but also emotional pain."
According to Donna, Ina had lived next door to her mother for the past two years and was a constant nuisance. "She threatened my mother, damaged her garden, and hammered nails into the driveway to puncture the tires of cars that drove through," she added.
