by Sarmad Ismail, London, Royaume-Uni
Acid attacks have become rife in London and all over the United Kingdom. This year the number of attacks doubled. Too many families and individuals are suffering and falling victim to this grievous and criminal act.
On June 21st Resham Khan, pictured above, was driving in a car with her cousin. Out of nowhere they were attacked with acid. They’ll both have scars that will never leave them. Their lives have been changed forever.
An attack like this could happen to anyone.
It is about time that the law changes for the purchase of corrosive substances - right now you can buy it easily from any hardware store if you are 18 and over.
Corrosive acids like sulphuric acid are very lethal and life damaging substances. You should only be allowed to purchase corrosive substances with a licence to buy. The person purchasing should go through checks so their details are held on a database or hold a licence.
Imagine how many attacks would be stopped if there were controls that made it harder to buy, and meant we knew more about people buying it?
Acid attacks have become too common, the Home Office needs to do something to bring it under control. It is a disgusting criminal act. We need licensing laws now to deter this from happening.
Please sign this petition to convince the Home Office to take action.

That is the same content of this post. Thanks for your vote though :)
cheetah finds people who are copy / pasting (plagairising) content.
In this case if you wanted to support the petition it probably would have been better to decline payout on the post, steemians would take it more seriously if they didnt suspect you were trying to make money from someone elses content / a serious issue that its morally abiguous to make money from.
Thanks for clearing the issue Scaletrix. I had no idea this is considered plagiarism since I added the source for people to go and vote. So, I thought it was advertising only. For declining the payment, I should only add a note on the post or what should I do?
I'm not saying you are plagiarizing this only trying to help you understand what cheetahs is doing.
When you make a post there is a rewards option, you can choose 50/50 SP/SD or 100 SP or decline pay out. You could repost it that way for example, and make the subject and content if this post 'delete'.
I'm not criticizing you, just trying to help you look the best you can to your fellow steemians. I'm giving you an upvote to show good faith :)
Hi Scalextrix, I am sorry if I sounded defensive, I didn't mean it. Thank you very much for helping me understand and for clearing up things. All is well between us :)
Also, I cant seem to find that reward option now when I want to edit the post. Would you have any idea if/how I can find it?
Thanks a lot again :)
