Bring it on indeed. Life sentences. They can't use their age as any excuse. If 10 year-olds are deemed as understanding right and wrong 16 year-olds cannot try to wriggle out of a lifelong sentence based on their age.

They knowingly and intentionally disfigured people for life, effectively ruling their lives - they deserve life sentences.

Bloody awful. I said it before, these sorts of situations are my worst nightmare. This boy is a coward, and it makes me so sad that he's potentially scarred these people for life—both physically and mentally.

''The Government ignored expert advice and made changes in 2015 that made it easier to buy dangerous acids that have been used in a spate of attacks in recent weeks, The Independent can reveal.

Changes made in the Deregulation Act 2015 scrapped an obligation on sellers of dangerous substances, including acids, to be registered with their local council. The move was opposed by medical experts, who warned that it could make it easier for criminals to get their hands on highly toxic substances, and by the Government’s own advisory board on the regulation of hazardous chemicals.

Ministers boasted at the time about “cutting red tape” but are now under mounting pressure from MPs and campaigners to re-tighten laws to make it harder for people to get their hands on highly concentrated acids. It comes after dozens of people were injured in a spate of acid attacks, with London being particularly affected by the incidents.''

I hope they get them fast and sentences are maximum. It's a terrible thing to do to someone and often with life changing results.
