25 years? Jesus, has it really been that long? I read James' dad's book too Kaz and I agree it was hard going (especially as my son was around James' age when I read it). It was a horrendous crime and I remember it happening and being horrified when they turned out to be the age they were.
My ex used to have a shop in Kirby and Denise used to shop there a lot, always looked haunted and sad. Poor women is the one with the life sentance

An absolute disgrace and devastating loss of a young life. Everytime I see his Mother on TV,she was on the other week, as you say she looks haunted. I feel so desperately sorry for her each time I see her. To me,this is if not the one,it's one of the worst crimes ever. For me too,justice was not done. Still yet one of them gets into trouble,despite new identities and advice and assistance. Evil really was this crime. Grossly so. Last edited by joeysteele; 02-02-2018 at 01:13 PM. |

Can't imagine what that child's parents have been through, let alone what Jamie went through himself. It's hard to think about, even after all this time for me, someone completely uninvolved and outside the story.

This is what the link says for anyone interested.
Channel 4 has commissioned October Films to produce a documentary marking the 25th anniversary of the murder of 2-year-old James Bulger, bringing together those involved in the trial to examine whether justice was served. Bulger was abducted and murdered in 1993 by two 10-year-old boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables. The Bulger Murder: 25 Years On (working title) features interviews with individuals personally involved in the case. Interviewees include Ralph Bulger (TBC), Laurence Lee (Jon Venables’ solicitor), Dominic Lloyd (Robert Thompson’s solicitor), Det. Sgt. Phil Roberts (who conducted the interviews with Thompson), Detective Inspector Jim Fitzsimmons, Richard Henriques, QC (barrister for the prosecution), Home Secretary at the time Lord Michael Howard, former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie, journalist Shelagh Fogarty and author Blake Morrison. The Bulger Murder: 25 Years On also features excerpts from the police interview tapes with Venables and Thompson. The documentary is directed by Matt Smith (Rio Ferdinand: Being Mum and Dad). Michelle Chappell, Channel 4’s commissioning editor of documentaries, said, “James Bulger’s murder shocked the nation and still lingers in the hearts and minds of the British public. Recent events have put the question of whether justice was served back at the forefront of national debate. By bringing together some of the key contributors to the trial and sentencing as well as those reacting to and in some cases helping shape the public sentiment, this will be a timely and thought-provoking look at how we should deal with horrific crime and the punishment of perpetrators not yet into their teens.” Matt Robins, the creative director at October Films and executive producer on the project, added, “The murder of James Bulger fundamentally changed the way we Britons live and continues to provoke raw emotion. We saw this film as an opportunity to ask how 25 years of hindsight have affected the perspectives of those closest to the case. Rather than retreading the details of that dark day in Liverpool, we wanted to consider what the British reaction says about us as a nation and whether we’ve changed over the intervening years.”

That case was so heart breaking and horrific, those poor parents, I don't know if you could ever get over something like that. I don't know if I could bear watching it, it's so sad and so upsetting.

I still remember when it happened and how it made everyone’s parents at the time hyper aware of what could possibly happen. It impacted everybody at the time greatly. Of all the cases that have happened since.This is the one I remember most and it still physically sends shudders up my spine when i think about it. |

As a mother, I can't and don't ever want to imagine the sort of grief Denise and her husband Ralph have had to endure. What that little boy went through is beyond words and breaks my heart every time I think about him.

Absolutely. What crushes me as well is the torment his mother has to go through everytime one of the murderers gets special treatment and into bother again. The pain she must be made to feel. Despicable. |

I don't think I can watch this. I don't seem to have emotions at all when it comes to fictional stuff but this kind of stuff really gets to me. Even thinking about this makes me so scared incase it could happen to mine.
And the ****er Venables keeps being released, to offend again. New identity each time. I would love to take a carving knife to his balls tbh. Give him some actual punishment.

Yeah 100%, it must be like rubbing salt in the wound everytime, not even proper justice for her baby (even that isn't any consolation for losing him I know but it just makes it worse and even harder probably to get through the day)
