t4 and greys, and you STILL havent answered my question WHY were those 2 boys wired they way they were, who is to blame for how they turned out, because at 10 years old, its not just down to them that is for sure.

You are just stating the obvious repeatedly, as Ive already said in this thread those boys had turned out in a way that made this inevitable, no one doubts what they did was wrong, no one doubts they should be punished, no one disagrees with you that what they did was fucking horrific, all of that is obvious to any decent person, no one is arguing about that.
Those boys are wrong, plain and simple, and they shouldnt ever be allowed back into society IMHO as I really dont believe they can ever be "fixed" from that, their lives effectively were declared over on that hateful day, and the question I want to know the answer to is WHY those 2 poor 10 year old boys had been allowed to wander so far off the moral tracks when they wandered onto those railway tracks that they never stood a chance at leading a normal life?

If you have kids you would like to protect, then dont you think we should be trying to prevent more kids turning out like Thompson and Venables in the first place, not just punishing them after the event, as a parent would you prefer the same to happen to your child and then his killers be punished or for him not to be hurt in the first place by society doing more to prevent such evil rearing its head in the first place?

We're never going to stop people hurting each other, sadly its actually a fundamental part of human nature, but there should be a LOT that we can learn from extreme cases like this!

It amazes me that anyone can be as stupid as you that you would read my comments in this thread and then say that I have said the boys should be let off, of course I fucking havent said that, what I had said is that they should be punished and so should the others responsible, there were more than 2 people guilty for what happened on that day and only 2 of them have been punished! There is little point in trying to have an inteligent conversation with someone like yourself who cant even read properly!
