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

[d000hg]

Like Attention Deficit Disorder, which is really a term defined by bedwetters and lefties to get out of the fact they've failed as parents and what their kids really need is a bloody good hiding and some boundaries.

That what you mean?

I bet you tell depressives to pull themselves together, bipolars to try not to be so flightly, and OCDs to be a bit less obsessive.

It's an interesting idea. There are a number of adults who must bear some responsibility for what happened. Primary school children should not be able to skip school, and two year olds should not be unattended.

In a healthy society, leaving a toddler alone is quite fine

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.

Would you do it?

If not then why would Venables and Thompson?

What could have happened in their psyche to trigger that kind of behaviour?

I'm with MP - no need to be so descriptive.

There had to have been something in their upbringing to make them behave in the way they did.

Children are not born evil. Thats just crazy.

They learn to hurt and torture others from what they see around them.

Hang on I was nowhere near as descriptive as another poster on here. I said sexually mutilated.

In a healthy society no one would hurt a toddler, but it is NOT fine to leave them alone. A two year old is quite capable of hurting himself. No matter how hard it is, it's your responsibility to supervise the child.

I didn't see that other post.

Did the mother leave the boy alone? I must admit I can't remember the details of how he came to be abducted.

Doncaster torture case: Social workers 'must intervene earlier' | UK news | guardian.co.uk

"What people need to understand is that if a child is born in a household where there is domestic abuse, even before that child is born the make-up of their brain will be completely different from a child where there isn't abuse.

"As that child grows up it has a lack of what we call victim empathy, a complete emotional numbness. They have no understanding of the damage they are doing to other people. I don't believe that we should see these children as criminal. They have done a terrible, terrible thing, but they are victims, they are children."

I have friends who work in Child Protection and with children with developmental difficulties. One often deals with ****ed up under 4 year olds. Even though their family life now seems stable their parent often has something seriously horrible happen when they had them. Their parent tends to either deny there is anything wrong or asks for them to be put in care.

WHS - I never understood why his mother didn't get more grief for leaving him alone? In the middle of a busy shopping area too.

Bit like the McCanns should never have left their kids alone but I know thats a whole other can of worms - one which I'm not saying needs opening, I'm simply mentioning it.
