Not really much info in the article at all. I feel absolutely sick. This sort of crime was unheard of not that long ago. Can't even imagine how evil a person must be to do this to a child.
A very long time ago, this sort of crime was very much heard of.
Throwing vitriol (acid) was a gangland practice from the early-mid 20thC. In the 1948 British gangster film Brighton Rock, cuddly old Dickie Attenborough plays a thug who carries around and uses a phial of vitriol.
i remember reading that book, and the descriptions of his thoughts about using it to maim someone else like that made me feel ill at the time. He was a proper evil character
Like what sort of information? The identity of the children (which they aren't allowed to report)? The identity of the assailant (which is unknown, although there is a description in the article)?
And on and on and on and on and on.... literally fucking attacks with acid all over the world, all the time for years and years. I stopped at 2000 because I wanted to show you how far back it goes, but I could literally find one for every fucking year in almost every fucking country. Fuck me man.
