Can i just explain why its such a big deal to James Bulger's mother that they are doing this story line,
1) the fact that this is a soap based in Merseyside, where the tragic death of James Bulger happened.
2) the fact that hollyoaks are planning to film parts of this in Bootle (where James Bulger lived and was murdered)
3) the fact that all the ages and circumstances are apparently exact to what happened to James, including the release, and new identities of the killers, the only difference being the sexes.
4) James Bulger was the first child of such a young age to be brutally tortured and murdered by other children in such a deliberate way, these children even tried to cover up the murder, positioning the body on a train track etc. so in reply to Tom yes, James Bulger's mother was one of if not the only mother to have her child abducted and killed in this way.

So instead of calling the poor mother a silly cow, please see that she has the right to be outraged at the fact a soap is victimizing the Killers of her child. And just so you know, I wont reply to any replies or whatnot, I only joined to say my piece and I have, so farewell
