James Bulger’s mother: Unmask my son's killers

[doodab]

Also, bear in mind that just as "many heads are better than one" for bouncing good ideas around, unfortunately the same applies to Bad Ideas, especially when you're ten. Kids lead each other on - I very much doubt either kid on his own would have killed the toddler.

Indeed. These two apparently planned to kidnap a kid and push him in front of a car before they started.

I actually don't think we need to read stuff as explicit as that. I can understand the case being emotive, and being used as part of a general behavioural discussion, but that's OTT.

In that case, do yourself a favour and avoid the Wikipedia page about the murder. It's awful.

I read a small part of it when trying to find out (facts) about how the boy had been abducted. I couldn't read past the first couple of lines, but I know that's mainly because my little boy is so close in age. My mind literally scrambles when I try to imagine what he and his family went through.

I did think that when I got upset at what Churchy had posted - a thread like this isn't going to contain kittens and roses is it, so I shouldn't be surprised!

Am going to squeeze the boychild when I get home, till his head pops off.

I said it before churchy

My lad was 2 at the time. It was pretty tough reading even the sanitised accounts in the papers.

my kids were a similar age, and we lived close to where it happened. In fact my kids nearly suffered a similar fate
it was only because they could run faster than me, and knew where to hide that they managed to survive <little gits >

No, that's what I was saying. A thread with this title is probably going to contain unsavoury facts, and I should have known to avoid it.

Seen the 'I have kids' line many times on this subject.

Are people without children not eligible to make decision on the subject? If my neighbour gets his car broken into and I do not drive but my other neighbour does do I have less say in the matter of the outcome when the perp gets caught?

'I have kids' 'throw away the key'
