Innocent Accused |
I really do believe there is a chance of reform for everyone.
These kids became what they are because of bad parenting and the useless social services who failed to act.
Society has a right to be protected from their ilk,but it also owes them the right to earn a reform.If they can sensibly reform themselves withg help then under strict supervision they can useful contributing members of society,rather than a financial drain in prison.
Just a note,the Bulger killers were let out some time ago,and we've heard nothing.Had they have done something else it woulde have made the news,you can't stop things getting out on the net.Proof that therapy can work,and should be given a chance.
Society is sick when it bays for the blood of two young kids,especially when it was to blame for them being unsupervised in the first place. |

The media should report the facts instead of whipping society into a frenzy. I'm sure society is capable of making up it's own minds on various subjects.
I wonder if these boys committed their acts with a full sense of reality, or whether their own lives were so bad that they created an alternative reality where nothing matters very much. It is right that they be detained so that they cannot repeat these acts, but while detained they should be treated decently while the reasons for their behaviour is properly investigated - with a view to rehabilitation rather than vengeance.
If the boys committed their acts as a result of something bad that happened in their lives, then the families of their victims who call for their deaths are behaving in exactly the same way, and are no different. |

Kirsty Young summed it up on this morning's Andrew Marr show. They are the product of our society not'devil kids' as the tabloids say. They weren't born like that, their DNA is not that much different to most children, it is something that has happened in society that has caused this. |

The media should be focusing their "evil" radar at the parents. Lets not forget that the 2 kids who carried out the crime have been robbed of a proper childhood. Lock up the parents. The real monsters in this story. |

Of course, when I was a little boy in the 1940's / 1950's, there were violent households even then as there are today, but the drug scene was unheard of; television was in its infancy; films at the cinema were tightly censored and controlled; video games and the Internet were undreamed of and porn, whether featuring children or adults (or both), was practically unobtainable. I don't know what other influences those two boys were subjected to besides domestic violence and rowing, but whatever it was, I wasn't subjected to it in my childhood and I can honestly say that my parents never hit me and the only abuse I suffered was emotional and mental abuse caused by their unhappy marriage. You really would have to have lived in a household like that as a child to appreciate how bad it is for children. |
