The family of a Baltimore County boy, severely burned after two teens poured chemicals on a playground slide, has a reached a settlement with the teens' families.

Payton Potochney was just shy of his third birthday when he went down the slide near his Middle River home and landed in a pool of sulfuric acid. The boy suffered second and third degree burns. The Daily Record of Baltimore reports his family filed a six million dollars lawsuit last year, but the amount of the settlement has not been made public.

The two teens were convicted and sentenced in juvenile court last year.
