James Bulger's Killers: Jon Venables & Robert Thompson | Trevor Macdonald Investigates | Real Crime

They should be in prison for the rest of there lives! In fact I'll go one step further I BELIEVE ALL PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF AGE, SHOULD BE BUT TO Death FOR HARMING A CHILD!!!

[@marniekilbourne608]

@@carolray9156 You can NOT put children to death. They are nowhere near developed like adults. It is absolutely horrific but that is not the solution. A mental facility for life is a better place. The last child they executed was in the 1930's in the electric chair and they barely had any evidence. Race was clearly a factor in that and how quickly he was arrested and put to death. The death penalty is outdated especially given how many people are falsely convicted. It belongs in the past. They can't commit murder but we as society can for punishment? That makes us as bad as killers. It also costs more to put a person to death overall than to just give them life without parole. Thou Shalt Not Kill....no exceptions listed and just a general rule to go by for the non religious.

[@marniekilbourne608]

You would think but who knows what their young brains were thinking or what those boys had experienced in their lives. They certainly needed to do extensive psych evaluations and investigate their family life. They would still need to be locked up but knowing why for sure and what they understood is important. Kids do kill and we really need to figure out why this is happening and more often. Then maybe things can be done to prevent tragedies like this and many others.

Robert Thompson made use of every opportunity provided to him in custody, and effectively vanished after he served his sentence. He probably hasn't told a soul about his past, holds down a job, keeps to himself. Venables is the more tragic of the two. The reason he keeps getting in trouble is because he tries to unburden himself. He gets drunk and tells people his real identity. I guess one might say, the system has a 50% success rate in this case, if we want to talk about rehabilitation.

@@metalvideos1961 You know Metal Videos, I really don't know of a proper punishment for these two young boys, I really don't, their both so young, but, I do believe that they did know better, they knew what they were doing was wrong, they knew right from wrong, but, still went through with the torture and murder of that poor baby boy and because of that, I really can't say what their punishment should have been. One of these murderers grew up to murder again and the other boy grew up and got married and raised a family, I read this from one of the commenters.

@@didibolter9362 well it seems that the one who got married learned from it the other didnt. but yeah i woudldnt know what a appropriate punishment would be for them as well. they were 10 years old. your brain is not developed yet. so i dont know what went true their minds. but its hard to punish kids in this situation. so maybe 15 years is enough i dont know. its a hard one

The first judge was stupid just giving those killers 8 years imprisonment just because he saw 2 young kids but ignored what they are capable of doing during their young age. Its proven that they are aware of right and wrong. Do they actually believe this two are rehabilitated after 15 years? They should be damn sure that they are being monitored.

So is America(🇺🇸) the only country that tries the horrible children that commit heinous crimes truly as an adult? Smh i saw some other true crimes in Canada a girl that killed all her family and she also got a new identity. I don't agree with death penalty but at least life in prison. Keep in mind these are lil monsters. Because childhood is the stage of a human that is supposed to be the most innocent and these lil boys killed with no mercy. Is so disgusting

[@diannebdee]

This case has stuck with me since it happened. The fact too that Jon Venables has been in trouble again despite his change of name and location says more about him in terms of his intent, than it does anything else. The cold blooded intent to take any child off the street and do ill intent shows these two had no compunction about killing a defenseless child. The strength of Denise to be able to live on despite the horrendous thing done to her baby is testament to who she is. A survivor. She reminds me a lot of Doris Tate, mother of Sharon Tate murdered by the Manson gang.

It would be interesting to see what kind of people they are now. How much they remember. Whether they feel remorse. Or are they still dead inside monsters.
