Both girls were 15-years-old, both were severely injured. One was burned over 46 percent of her body; the other had burns over 18 percent of her body. One girl has undergone at least 16 surgeries with more to come. Both the girls and the school declined to comment, but the reporter poured over the court records for the story of their two-year struggle.

The teacher continues to teach chemistry at the boarding school.
