Ok my little sister was playing with super glue while I was on the computer. She then started to scream really really loud. Her hands are stuck to her butt and I can't get it off. She says it hurts . What should I do and I can't get them off because they are really stuck

Because of its wide use, people have found that they might accidentally glue their fingers together or to another object. If this happens to you, don’t worry. Although Super Glue is incredibly strong, it still has a major weakness which is acetone.
Household products such as nail polish remover contain the chemical acetone. If you place a small amount of nail polish remover on a cotton swab or Q-tip, you can apply it directly to your skin to dissolve the bond. This process doesn’t damage the skin however it can discolor fabrics and damage laminated counter tops. Straight acetone can also burn your skin so use with caution.
If Super Glue happens to stick together body parts where acetone can’t be applied (such as lips or eyes) then follow this advice.
For skin bonded together with Super Glue soak the affected areas in warm soapy water. After a few minutes peel or roll the skin apart. If you have trouble with this try using tools such as a pencil or a spatula. After this remove the cured Super Glue with warm soapy water. This may take several applications.
If this does not work, get her to the emergency room. You will have to tell your parents.
Good luck, I'll pray for you.

Apply nail polish remover with a clean cloth a little at a time
it will take some doing -- but this DOES work and work well !!
The active ingredient in the nail polish remover breaks down the bonding agent in super glue every single time
Be sure to wash away the nail polish remover with warm soapy solution AFTER the super glue is removed !!
Good Luck and Happy Clean Up !!!!!!!!!!!!

There is certainly the chance you don't have any nail polish remover or Acetone in the house...how many people do?
Fill up your tub with hot (as hot as your sister can stand) soapy water, high enough to immerse the glued areas, and let her sit in it for a while.
It might take a while but it might just loosen up the glue enough to get her hands free.
If it's real bad and nothing seems to be working, you might have to call for an ambulance, they have the experience and proper solvents to get the super glue off.
After everything is ok, come back and let us know what happened.

Dissolve the bond with a little nail polish remover or acetone.

Ever seen American Pie 2 ? ? ? I am not sure of a home fix especially if she is really young, I would call a hospital and see if they have any helpful hints.. 911 if it gets too bad... good luck..

OR WARM WATER
IT DOESNT SAY ON THE BACK OF THE SUPER GLUE HOW TO TRY AND TAKE IT OFF?

nail polish remover will do the trick, but DO NOT USE if the skin is torn

Nail-polish remover will get it unstuck, so I've heard.
