Agreed, plus now we of course all have the benefit of knowing about cases like this, at that point in time no one realised the risks of something like this happening realistically, so people are more cautious these days than they ever were back then.

But if it wasnt a 2 year old it would have been an 8 year old or something else, the way those boys were wired it was inevitable they were going to do that to someone.
And im sure they had 8 year old friends or whatever that they used to be allowed to play with who they could have led down to the railway instead, I certainly did at that age, as a parent you cant possibly protect your children from everything, you just have to hope you are lucky enough not to live near people like that who your kids might end up mixing with.
