IF criminals were dealt with properly by the system,IF they were given LIFE instead of a few poxy years,people would NOT be calling for the death penalty,but it's all IFS and buts as the system has failed so many children who have been killed or abused,THAT is why those of us who have had to suffer these things first hand feel so passionate about the way murderers are dealt with,you get more for robbing a bank in this country than you do for child murder,that is WRONG.
i didnt know robbers of banks get into more trouble than sick bastards that murder children.

Definitely, but even you yourself are not 100% sure how you'd act, yet you seem to lay it down that that is the only course of action you'd take.
Well I am not able to see into the future (thankfully) and one thing I do know for sure is that we can never be sure of anything, since any random chain of events may or may not result in a specific outcome. I am not stupid enough to believe that I can anticipate every eventuality I may be confronted with at a set moment in future time and categorically state "I will definitely do such and such". I don't know of anyone who would be that confident. I can only say that the probability that I would follow a course of action, if such and such events occurred are pretty clear cut to me, but I would always have to allow for random variables.

I still also don't get what makes jedward intelligent by agreeing with you all and going in to graphic details of how he'd murder people? I noticed he got a random load of praise a few pages a while back when he's hasn't really contributed anything.
True and I agree with that and think that longer sentences need to be utilised more but I can't condone captial punishment or vigilantism. It does nothing for the victims and cheapens us all.
But as I said earlier, the prison system is far too overcrowded (something like 25%) as it is and its not as simple as just setting up a new one. There are a lot of costs involved within a prison infrastructure. What needs to happen is harsher punishments within the existing system.

Bring back conscription for repeat offenders! That would solve a lot of problems and might actually make them value their lives and freedom, and instill some kind of discipline and respect.

Some will see it as a badge of honour though even moreso than prison. I think the problem lies with how prisons are. They have all of their human rights and its very comfortable e.g. TVs in cells.

Well they'll certainly get a rougher time of it in the army or whatever than they will in a prison cell that's for sure, plus they will learn discipline and actually be doing something worthwhile instead of sitting on their backsides in a cushy prison cell watching TV and playing computer games (like you say).

Strong point,and I liked your earlier point as to life being life in Prison then no one would need to worry that particular 'vile' abuser would ever harm a child again.

Yep, I agree. The way that parents are being put on a pedastol above those without children makes no sense. Surely those who are not parents are more able to approach an issue like this with more rationality, without being guided purely by heightened emotions.

Jedward is harmless,he just gets angry as most of us do with crimes like this,the lad would no more hurt anyone than you would,he wasn't hysterical,he just cares about childrens welfare,more than a criminals welfare as some of us do.people use these phrases everyday,most don't carry them through.
Correct again kazanne, I guess if a constructive point cannot be made then its just easier to attack someone who is making constructive points, even if with a bit of stronger passion.
Jedward fever talks loads of sense, he has a wisdom that defies his years,he alsways makes me think when I read his posts,he has the ability to make a point in few words which is something I certainly have not got the ability to do.
By you kazanne, Angus58 and myself he has been rightly praised for his contributions to this debate. Very highly deserved praise too.
One thing I cannot get my head round on this debate are when the arguments of 'understanding' the abuser is made.
Why understand them, what can be understood as to such a filthy 'vile' act against a baby, toddler or any child, how about really trying to understand the fear, the hurt, the trauma of the child while it goes on, and then in cases the poor child loses its life.
Understand that,or try to by all means, show understanding to the abusers, no way.
InOne made a strong point as to finding out from the abuser what makes them put thought into action,that was a strong valid point, and that should be done anyway,however, the punishment for child abuse in my view and clearly many others too, should be the severest penalty possible and its time the law was changed to make that so.
That was I think the whole point of the start of this thread,evryone is entitled to their own opinions but in coming to that opinion,please never forget once this happens some adult or older person who should know right from wrong, has grossly abused a child that likely cannot speak for itself,if we don't then take up the fight for that Child then what does that make us.
i agreed with angus58 and kazanne because i also believe that they should be dead so i did form my own opinion.

The police dont murder criminals only when they're own lives are in immediate danger are they forced to use the last resort of gunfire.
And with soldiers, they're fighting a war, they shoot at the enemy and the enemy shoots at them, but they would not kill someone defenceless.

actually alot of countries have the police carry guns incase the criminal is about to kill someone else.

I doubt it would be that effective as a deterrent, and besides we are human beings, we dont mutilate someone for a crime. We live in a civilised, 21st century society, you seem to want us to be thrust back to the middle ages, I'm sure you would like what they did to criminals back then.

Life can mean life. Plenty of criminals have spent their lives behind bars, Peter Sutcliffe, for example, will never be freed.

You clearly dont have a clue about crime and murder and what drives people to it.
People arent just born murderers, they dont just have a desire to kill that sticks with them for the rest of their lives.

Opinion is obviously split down the middle on this subject, understandably so perhaps when you consider what an emotive subject we're talking about, but I don't see why it has to descend into name calling and petty arguing. That will just get the thread closed, which would be a shame because it's been a really interesting debate imo.

You clearly dont have a clue about crime and murder and what drives people to it.
People arent just born murderers, they dont just have a desire to kill that sticks with them for the rest of their lives.
How about we kill you? You're 14 but if killing people is coming into your head now, what are you gonna be like when you're older?

The fact is I think I can safely say this,the law has failed many victims of abuse, if ever there comes a referendum in this country for capital punishment to be brought back for certain crimes, then I dare bet all I have that the vote for yes, would be in excess of 75% easily, and that sexual abuses of children would be one of the crimes the people would want it back for.

No, but you're still advocating killing someone.
You didnt say they were born murderers but if you dont think that then why do you think they killed Bulger? Do you think the desire to kill just suddenly popped into their head one day and it will never go away so they should just be hung?

Thompson and Venables were torturing animals for a while before they killed James,the crime was premeditated and planned,Thompson had the sort of upbringing lots of kids have,an errant dad,mother an alcoholic,Venables on the other hand was in a two parent family and NOT the product of a dysfunctional family,I wanted them dead,but I had my reasons,in hindsight,they should have done 8 years where they did,then gone to a big boys prison and served life,what they did to James was barbaric,I wont go into detail,but I defy anyone to read his story and come out with a dry eye!!!And I will admit,that if I heard of their demise in anyway,I would give a silent cheer!so call me what you like,I really don't care.

No, Venables parents were seperated.
I dont dispute the barbarity of their actions but you cant kill someone for what they did as a 10 year old. Venables may not have had the worst upbringing but he did supposedly show genuine remorse for his actions, and the mindset of a ten year old will not be the mindset he has for life. When someone commits a crime at that age, it is easily possible to reform them.

Yes that's what I thought, Venables had a very 'normal' upbringing and it was Thompson that had the harder time.
It just goes to show though that some people CAN be rehabilitated, especially if you catch them young enough. It seems that perhaps Thompson was a product of his upbringing but having his freedom taken away and the rehab he recieved have changed him as an adult, surely that is a good thing and shows that the system can work in some cases? I'm in no way condoning what he did, it was a horrible awful sickening thing, but if someone can be 'fixed' and they can go on to contribute to society surely that is better than just killing in the name of killing and not actually attempting to understand and fix these problems?

But surely if all the evidence points to them having reformed, it is the right thing to do to give them a second chance, I think that should be a fundamental right. Padeophillia is a grey area because it is far more engrained in the human mind, but a murder can be done in a rush of blood or something like that. Reformation has shown to be sucessful in the past, and with the added deterrent of retribution from serving their time, it is the best and the most fair policy imo.

I don't 'care' about them, but in a lot of cases there is some form of mental illness involved, in fact paedophilia IS an illness, an incurable one at this moment in time, which is why I said they don't CHOOSE to go out and abuse children, it's a compulsion and while yes they deserve to be locked up and the key thrown away until some form of cure can be found (if it can be), I don't agree that they should be sentenced to death for what is an illness that they can't help acting on. More needs to be spent on learning about it and as the only surefire way of protecting children is to have them locked up then yes life should mean life as there is no known form of rehabilitation for their condition as yet.

And you know this how? If someone is classed as a paedophile by the clincal definition then I'm sorry but they CAN'T help it and they don't see anything wrong with what they are doing, hence why it's called a mental illness, they don't know right from wrong and are compelled to do what they do.

Would you feel the same if the shoe was on the other foot and it was your child that could be executed though? You can't really discount the parent's feelings since they'd feel the same grief as you, possible more due to the fact their child commited the crime.
Well perhaps they should have done a better job bringing their child up properly in the first place. The propensity to become a murderer, rapist, paedophile etc., must have been evident at some point during their upbringing and the parents have either ignored it or worse, been instrumental by virtue of their inadequate parenting, in fostering it.

I asked on here if anyone could say to me that 100% if an abuser was released from prison after all these risk assessments etc that they believed there was not a sinlge chance of them abusing again, I got veiled response and no 100% guranteee.
Niamhxo pointed out that he/she would never give a second chance to paedophiles or killers in order to protect innocent children so he/she would never let them out of prison. That is a right statement and right thing to do becasue there are no guarantees possible and the risk is too great to take to let them rejoin society.
With some exceptions that would be the Nations view, the UK population is clamouring for capital punishment to be brought back, especially for child harmers and killers.
You jedward are in the majority of opinion, it may not seem that way on here, but you are so know that and let all else just wash over you because little of the criticism levelled at you has any base or relevance whatsoever.

Sorry but I don't agree with that at all. Not all rapists, murderers etc show signs of having any issues at all growing up, and it's harsh to pin the blame on the parents, when any number of things that happen later on in life could have sparked them off. That brings in the whole nature v nuture debate as well, and experts are very split on that subject. Are people born evil or are they a product of their environment?

jedward,you have won the real argument with your firm stance and reasoned laying out of you opinion. your points are not invalidated by you getting any personal insults from areas that offer no constructive detailed argument as to facts.
I asked on here if anyone could say to me that 100% if an abuser was released from prison after all these risk assessments etc that they believed there was not a sinlge chance of them abusing again, I got veiled response and no 100% guranteee.
Niamhxo pointed out that he/she would never give a second chance to paedophiles or killers in order to protect innocent children so he/she would never let them out of prison. That is a right statement and right thing to do becasue there are no guarantees possible and the risk is too great to take to let them rejoin society.
With some exceptions that would be the Nations view, the UK population is clamouring for capital punishment to be brought back, especially for child harmers and killers.
You jedward are in the majority of opinion, it may not seem that way on here, but you are so know that and let all else just wash over you because little of the criticism levelled at you has no base or relevance whatsoever.
Pople who abuse,and sexually abuse children are the scum of the earth, they lose in my view any right at all to be part of any society after committing such vile crimes against Children.
I find it incredible that any would think otherwise to that, but if they do then they must have their reasons whatever they may be,even though understanding those reasons will be far beyond me I'm afraid.
Umm No, the majority of the population do not believe in mutilation as a punishment, and most do not believe in the death penalty.

And you know this how? If someone is classed as a paedophile by the clincal definition then I'm sorry but they CAN'T help it and they don't see anything wrong with what they are doing, hence why it's called a mental illness, they don't know right from wrong and are compelled to do what they do.
If they are mentally ill and see nothing wrong in what they are doing, then they would carry on without attempting to hide their perversions. However, most are extremely clever at leading double lives and hiding the evidence which suggests to me that they know fine well that what they are doing is a crime.

Well perhaps they should have done a better job bringing their child up properly in the first place. The propensity to become a murderer, rapist, paedophile etc., must have been evident at some point during their upbringing and the parents have either ignored it or worse, been instrumental by virtue of their inadequate parenting, in fostering it.
More often then not it's not the parents fault, how would you feel if your children did something wrong and placed the blame at your door? Sometimes it is poor parenting but you can have a perfect set of parents and that doesn't mean the kid will do no wrong.

I think you would find that in a referendum to bring back capital punishment for certain crimes, child murder and sexual abuse 2 of them that you would find the UK voting at 'least' 75% in favour.
Its why govts won't hold one, becasue no party wants to be the one in govt to bring it back but if the public had the chnace they would vote massively for it for certain crimes.

But it is a psychiatric disorder, and one that isn't even fully understood as yet. Some of them feel intense shame about what they are doing but like I said they are compelled to act on their feelings, others yes know what they are doing is wrong but still feel compelled to act on their feelings, they can't help it. Hence why it's called a mental illness.

I'm sure they don't wake up one day and decide to be a paedophile. It builts up over a number of years. They slowly slowly tip further towards the edge. I think what would be good would be to find out what tips some over the edge. And why some go all the way and why some don't. We can then maybe find ways to stop them from taking the final step.

Thats a stupid statement to make really, not everybodies upbringing sets them out for the way they will be later on in life, some yes but not all....
Yet again it's okay for some to put others down with dismissive statements when they have nothing else to bring to the table themselves.
There are always signs of some sort in a budding psychopath and a good parent would surely notice signs of unusual behaviour and get the appropriate help for their child. A bad parent might actually be the reason why their child is a psychopath. Then into the mix there has to be considered the possibility of inherited mental illnesses, again which would surely have been picked up by a good parent.
That aside, it's staggering really that hypothetically the parents of a murdered child, according to some on this thread, are supposed to be considerate of the feelings of the parents of the scum that killed their child. They are also supposed to meekly accept the pathetic sentences handed down, as well as be filled with understanding and compassion for the killer who might well have inflicted the most unimaginable pain and terror on their child.

I think some of these signs can be misdiagnosed though by doctors as things such as ADHD and the like, so you can't really blame the parent for that if they take the kid to the doctors when they see signs and the doctor doesn't correctly diagnose. Also a lot of mental illnesses show very similar early warning signs, you hear stories of people being diagnosed as bipolar when in fact they are displaying psycopathic tendencies, so once again it's really the system that's at fault and not so much the parents. Not in all cases mind you, but the mental health sector in this country is so criminally underfunded and staffed that these things slip through the net time and time again and then it's too late.
And once again noone here is saying that parents should sit by and accept the shoddy justice system in this country, in fact if you did a poll right now I would expect most people on here to agree that murderers, paedophiles and the like should be locked up and the key thrown away. I personally just don't believe that an eye for an eye solves anything.

Of course intervention in early life is crucial, which is where the parents come in. A good parent would surely be aware of any unusual behaviour or habits in a child they are with 24/7, and it would be reasonable to expect them to get their child some help. A bad parent, be it through abuse or neglect, is going to perpetuate the cycle and that is where schools, doctors etc should be on the ball about reporting their suspicions and getting the appropriate authorities involved. There are already some documented classic signs in childhood that point towards a future psychopathic personality; such as torturing and killing animals; being a loner; being a bully etc.

If you want to debate a point at least give a counter argument, not just "it's a myth". You talk about people from "good families" without actually defining what that means. Kids brought up in ostensibly "good" families offend, so perhaps those "good" families need to be examined more closely.

I never said they should be looking out for pyschopathic tendencies, but they should be concerned, for example, if their child doesn't want to mix with other children, or takes delight in tormenting the cat, or is bullying kids at school for example. Usually it will be a number of small things that add up to a major concern. It is generally accepted now that some, not all, children who were abused, grow up to abuse children themselves thereby perpetuating the cycle.
As for parents being unaware of what their children are becoming till its too late - I don't buy that. If you are involved in your children's lives day in, day out, you would have to be a pretty rubbish parent not to spot any signs of aberration until it was beyond the point of no return.

I personally think it's a bit of both also, I do actually believe that some people are born with an evil seed in them (I know that sounds like a cliche but it's the only way I can explain it lol) and then if they are brought into a certain environment where there is no parental discipline and strict guidelines, the seed grows and grows until they begin to act on it. But on the other hand, perfectly 'normal' well adjusted seeming children can fall into the wrong crowd, have parents that give them no guidance or are bad role models, and they can end up turning into monsters, hence why I said the argument for both sides is inconclusive. But you do get cases where a child has a loving family, no childhood trauma, does well in school, and then goes on to commit hideous crimes, this is why it's so hard to pinpoint where it all starts and what the solution is.

Well, it happens. As you know, Psychopaths are particularly good liars, and they develop that early. So parents may not as detect wrong doings and they're not with the child 24/7. And I think sometimes they might be subconsciously aware but to an extent block it out. Like, "No my child couldn't possibly have done that" it probably would be a nice thing for a parent to see. They may think it's a phase, or they're grow out of it. Parents are learing too, as I said they probably don't know the signs, or think they can help the child themselves. Doesn't make them bad parents.

Sure, there are stresses in all families, but individuals do react in very different ways so I can see it would be extremely difficult to isolate a single factor that would tip the balance from merely eccentric behaviour to full blown psychosis.
I am interested in those kids who are brought up in care homes, since they have obviously not experienced "parenting" in the conventional sense, and it would be interesting to know whether there is a higher or lower percentage of paedophiles etc whose early years, or indeed whole childhood, was spent in care.

What are you talking about, read the article again. They did it because they though it would be funny when they were high. They got caught when she showed someone the pictures, they hadnt taped him there to die.
And they were 10 years old ffs :bored:
Far from your views being the majority and intelligent, as some have said, I'd say they were rather worrying myself.

Lol, I will soon seeing as how I was on here till nearly 5 this morning!
by the way your reacting your excusing there reckless behaviour that could have killed the child.
and im saying who i should think should die and that is pedophiles and serial killers.
No, I'm making the point that killing them would be a completely disproportionate punishment relating to the crime.
and James Bulger was 3 weeks shy of his THIRD birthday FFS.
I don't see what point you are trying to make here.
Let me get one thing straight, what the two boys did to Bulger was absolutely despicable, abhorrent and disgusting, it's awful what they did to him and I am in no way trying to condone, justify or excuse Venables' and Thompson's behaviour.
But at the end of the day they were 10 years old. At that age they are young, susceptible, naive and not fully aware of the severity of their actions, even though they might have know they were wrong. The mindset they had back then is not the same as it is now, when they are adults who have gone through a process of rehabilitation, which admittedly may not have been completely effective with Venables. To hang someone for what they did when they were 10 would be completely unjust imo.

I am amazed how anyone can overlook that fact kazanne,also jedward you are near spot on, In one of our lectures the indicative statistics for abusers having had a 'bad' or troubled past is 6.7 out of 10. Near spot on your 70%
The troubled and bad past should not however be in any way an excuse to sexually or otherwise abuse Children or murder them.
It can be a reason but never a justification in any way to try to negate the abuse.
Yes, it's kind of taken on a life of its own, which goes to show that it is a hugely emotive and important issue to a lot of people. I'm glad it is being debated and taken seriously, whether I agree with some of the posts or not.

Well, he was obviously not rehabilitated fully so shouldnt have been released yet, but at least he hasnt killed again and Robert Thompson has kept out of trouble.

If I remember right those two pieces of scum had tried to abduct a little girl a bit earlier from the same shopping centre but were unsuccessful? It was quite obviously a premeditated kidnapping, and they deliberately targetted a little lad too young to be able to tell any inquisitive passersby what they were doing. Furthermore, didn't the psychologists try to mitigate the seriousness of what they did by saying that they were merely re-enacting a scene from Child's Play and were unaware of the harm they were actually doing? -what utter BS. Those children were 10 years old and knew full well the pain, torture and misery they intended to inflict on that poor little boy.

Thank you kazanne for reminding us what children are up against here and not just sometimes from adults either.
This is a heartbreaking detail of a truly rotten crime, it was detailed in response to jedward fever,who asked in the most mature and sensitive way if he was right in his recollection of what he had read as to this crime.
All some can do is take shots at jedward fever,because they have nothing constructive to ask,say or even have any ideas how to prevent these crimes at all.
Jedward fever shows insight, understanding and very deep thinking as to this topic, as we all should do really.
In fact he has been a great example all through as far I am concerned and he has made me think many times my own position as to punishments for these wicked crimes against children.
As to this post from kazanne, who has very strong feelings and interest in justice, real justice to be brought in for these crimes, I have to commend her on this post which should remind any decent people of the horrors children can be up against from others and also this passage from her is in my opinion the very best and conclusive demonstration of fact as to why for these crimes capital punishment should be the norm.

I doubt there is any law in expressing agreement with someone on important matters,I do so with Kazanne, Angus58 and I have also done so with you many times too.

What sorts of psychologists were they? I thought that was just conjecture from the gutter press and politicians. It always seemed weird to me. The press wanted to have their cake and eat it. To have Venables held fully responsible for his own actions and for him to do time in an adult prison, but it also wanted to blame dumb horror/slasher movies and the way they influenced poor impressionable children, taking no account of the sort of fundamental parental neglect that leads somebody to act in such a way. The equivalent to blaming the Columbine Massacre on first-person shooter games.
Ironic then that the press may inadvertantly have gotten Venables a lighter sentence.

Well that is why I have queried whether those were the facts or not. Kazanne has the greatest knowledge on this issue because of her personal involvement with the family; I am trying to recall the details nearly 20 years later.
And yes, you are right, parental neglect is a massive influence on delinquent children. If the "Child's Play" story is true, then what on earth were these parents doing allowing ten year olds to watch an x rated movie? It's about time the parents of delinquent children were prosecuted for their failure to bring up their children properly, because society pays the price later on.

You can say its unbelievable that a woman drew her curtains but you can't say you wouldn't do the same in that situation. You'd like to think you wouldn't but a lot of people diminish responsibility and expect someone else to do it. Its a strange psychological concept and has been proven time and time again, most notably with Kitty Genovese who was murdered graphically in full view public and all the residents could do was pull their sofas up to the window to get a better view whilst sat down, NOT phone the police or an ambulance! There are loads of follow up studies to see how bystanders react and they all lead to pretty much the same conclusion.

A far more dignified response than either InOne or Josy deserve! What is it with this forum that people think they have the right to question friendships with other FMs?

It WAS picked up by the press and they had a field day with it,but reports do say that they did watch horror movies,not just 'Childs Play' they also tortured animals,but I STILL do not believe the films were their motive,imo it was a cop out by those that hadn't got an answer,even Albert Kirby the detective at the time said the crime was horrendous,grown men were crying.And some people want these two perverts left in peace!!!

I suggest you re read what I posted, I have no interest in wether you know jedward fever or not, I never once mentioned that I agree or disagree with him or that it was wrong of you to agree with him so I have no idea were that came from, what I did mean with my last post was that you keep posting how constructive, mature and well though out his posts have been in this thread, I disagree with this, I dont find his repetitive posts about how he would do this or that to certain people constructive in the slightest and if you have a problem with that then sorry but thats my opinion.
A far more dignified response than either InOne or Josy deserve! What is it with this forum that people think they have the right to question friendships with other FMs? It's intrusive and bloody rude. Fair enough to debate the topic in hand, but personal interactions between FMs should be respected. Is there any need for the snide digs and heckling? it's bordering on bullying.
Not to be rude here Angus but who are you to tell anyone what kind of response I deserve? I never once mentioned joeysteele or jedward fevers friendship ANYWERE in my post, I was posting an opinion so in future try and read things properly before before being so "rude", im now bowing out of this thread as I wouldnt want anymore accusations of bias mods, protecting their own etc to ruin what has turned out to be a very interesting debate.

Yet you still felt the need to comment on Joeysteele's admiration of jedward fever.:rolleyes: If that isn't rude and intrusive I don't know what is. Why not just address your disapproval of jedward fever's posting style to him directly? Oh, but wait, that would also be rude and intrusive since he is entitled to his opinions, and so long as he's not breaking any rules, he's entitled to express himself any which way he wants. I would also point out that my remarks were addressed to joeysteele and not to you and, as you say, if you are free to criticise other FMs indirectly, so am I.

Thak you very much indeed Angus58, I can't for the life of me see what I am doing wrong to get these unwarranted comments made to me in these posts but then I am very new to forums so don't understand the politics of it maybe.
Thank you Angus58 for your support, and between some and jedward fever, I know who I would rather deal with. Thank you very much again.
As I said though,anyone can pm me if they want to ask 'me' something, this thread is not the place.

I had this argument yesterday about the same thing. How on earth is it anybody else's business which FMs you get on with and why?

The British press are not allowed to print any pictures of what they look like now(well we have to protect these barstewerts,don't we?).It was an American company who enhanced the photos,there is also one of James and how he would have looked now,and a very handsome chap he would have been.
I recalled reading that some had been done, I knew you would be able to clarify the matter.
It is the most horrible thing I read about,It was all just so horrific. Awful.

I thought that too, I will however continue to choose who I get on with and not have who I can get on with be dictated to me by others.
This thread has I have to say, opened a lot of people's eyes to the original issues you raised at the start, I had my reservations as to capital punishment, when this thread started,I started discussing with my Friends the James Bulger case and also child abuse in general, the emotions were amazing, everyone very strong in their opinions and many far more intolerant towards the abusers than even some of jedwards statements are.
It has changed my view considerably, your arguments, kazannes, jedwards and others, and even those I have mostly not agreed with have come up with some good points too.
I now believe the law needs to be massively changed, zero tolerance on this issue and if it is the best we can get as to sentencing the guilty,being life imprisonment then I am with those who advocate that abusers must never come back into society at all.
This really has been /is a truly brilliant and enlightening thread so massive congratulations to you for starting it off
I have got digitally enhanced photos of those two of how they might look like now,and sometimes I am VERY tempted to post them,but it wouldn't be fair on anyone looking remotely like them,but as i said it IS tempting.
Yeah, I understand completely. My sister in law worked for the home office at the time of their release and although didn't deal with them directly, I think she dealt with some of the paperwork involved.. I remember thing WTF? when she was telling me the lengths that are gone to protect these animals.. their new locations, their new identities.. basically anything they want ! It's disgraceful.
Same goes for Baby P's mum! She should be released from prison into the hands of the public, not given the life of Riley at the hands of the taxpayer!

You are correct,There is also so much protection for them,the abusers but so little support for the families of the children killed or traumatised by the abuse.
When you think how long ago the James Bulger murder was,that poor little lad,it was horrific. Yet still children are being abused, sexually abused and murdered,.
When are the lessons going to be really learned and then make sure as best as possible that it never happens again but much more to the point that once caught and found guilty at least those abusers 'never' ever get the chanvce to in any way harm a child again and there are only 2 ways to ensure that, capital punishment or when senteneced to life in prison, it is for the 'full' rest of their lives.Not just a few years.

Yeah, I agree entirely. There is no way that evil like that should be allowed to freely live amongst others!

I respect all people even those I disagree with, you directly posted to me as to my support for someone else who posts on here.
I have no problem at all with you not finding another persons posts constructive. I also personally have no problem with you but it seems for some reason you have a problem with me. However that too is your right.

The blame for this farcical justice system lies with the Labour Party who are also responsible for the introduction of the iniquitous Human Rights legislation gleefully being exploited by every criminal, terrorist and illegal immigrant. Now we have the libdems putting a spanner in the works to try and prevent its repeal.:rolleyes:

I think the human rights act needs to be repealed for the UK too or at least completely re-drafted.
These things that change the constitution of a Nation or its current rulings,should only be implemented after asking the people in a referendum,I don't get why the question 'should we re-negotiate the human rights act' cannot be asked to the people of the UK in a referendum, if the people then will it so, then the EU would have to at least go some way to appeasing that view.

Evil,is a word that gets misused a lot and I rarely use it but considering all the issues as to sexually abusing a child I have to say that it is really the only word that fits these crimes.

Did you know Angus,Michael Howard wanted Jamess' killers to get at least 15 years then it was taken to the court of European Rights and Jack Straw agreed to drop the sentence to 8 years as it was said they were tried unfairly!!!!One was sent to Barton Moss secure centre the other somewhere else.They are NOT being monitored properly as one of the conditions of them being set free was to never set foot in Liverpool again,and Thompson clearly has as he was seen,one day I hope their luck runs out,they say the devil looks after his own,he is certainly looking after them,but i believe in karma ,so I can wait!
