Do you remember February 1993 when a young boy of 3 was taken from a Liverpool shopping centre by two 10-year-old boys?

Jamie Bulger walked away from his mother for only a second, Jon Venables took his hand and led him out of the mall with his friend Robert Thompson.

They took Jamie on a walk for over 2 and a half miles, along the way stopping every now and again to torture the poor little boy who was crying constantly for his mummy.

Finally they stopped at a railway track where they brutally kicked him, threw stones at him, rubbed paint in his eyes, pushed batteries up his anus and cut his fingers off with scissors. Other mutilations were inflicted but not reported in the press.

What these two boys did was so horrendous that Jamie's mother was forbidden to identify his body.

They then left his beaten small body on railway tracks so a train could run him over to hide the mess they had created.

These two boys, even being boys, understood what they did was wrong, hence trying to make it look like an accident.

This week Lady Justice Butler-Sloss has awarded the two boys anonymity for the rest of their lives when they leave custody with new identities.
They will also leave custody early only serving just over half of their sentence. They are being relocated to Australia to live out the rest of their lives. They disgustingly and violently took Jamie's life away and in return they each get a new life!

MASSIVE (6 FIGURE) payment they where both awarded as they were tried in a crown court and NOT a youth court.

Also, their family's were awarded HUGE payments for the costs of their houses, loss of income etc due to their sons crimes.


taken from another site, but i feel stongly about this

MODS if you feel this is inapropate feel free to delete

Done

words escape me.

Jeez, I had no idea what they put that kid through. I thought they just threw stones at him which killed him. Thats pretty f***ing digusting.

How the hell can Kids at that age have so much anger and evil in them.

sorry to pour cold water on this, but i believe this to be a pointless petition. unless my facts are wrong, the two boys have already been released.

i am more than happy to be corrected of course.

At the risk of coming across as the argumentative angry short bloke, I'm afraid I won't be signing this one. Their crimes were abhorent and barbaric and in no way can I condone what they did. But - relocation and anonymity - of course, the only alternative is mob justice. That may indeed be what they deserve but it is not what civilised society does.

I also have to hold out hope in rehabilitation. They were 10. Not an excuse but surely a factor, and if anyone can be rehabilitated then it's a 10 year old. They have the opportunity to make something of their lives for the betterment of society, something they took away from Jamie Bulger.

I'm sure that his parents would vastly prefer them to be away from the rest of society for the rest of their lives.

I don't see why the UK doesn't operate a sort of prison-gang workforce. Yes it'd need more policing, and some inmates aren't good candidates for it, but I know full well that some prisoners work in HMPS warehouses.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think that they should be ousted to the public either, they are human afterall, and should be protected as such, but they don't deserve freedom IMO either.

They could make a useful contribution to society by building houses etc whilst under the watchful eye of an armed guard.
