Lost Boy - The Killing Of James Bulger
35 Answers
Confined to bed last night this came on, and while I didn’t really want to watch it once it started I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing and was transfixed. Even though I remembered a lot of the story I was still horrified at loads. The way they grabbed his little hand and had him out of that shopping centre within 90 seconds. The way that John said to Robert sudddenly “ Shall we kill him??”. They walked him 2.5 miles, repeatedly attacked him, abused him, threw paint over him and then just each strolled home!! Even in the interviews Robert kept calling James ‘the baby’.....
How the officers managed to deal with that I do not know.
And the fact that the boys only were sentenced to 8 years each is beyond my comprehension. And given new identities. And if anyone identifies them publicly now then THEY will be sentenced and fined!
All is know is that Thompson never re-offended again, Veneables was jailed again for having a safe in his house with over 1000 indecent images of little children, and a book on how to rape little girls.......
Don’t think I will ever read such a shocking, repulsive, sickening story again in my life x

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have seen a couple of documentaries about it, although possibly not that one. It is absolutely sickening. I wonder though whether the sentencing depends on when they became adults? Maybe there is a different process then.
It's odd, I find, in a way, that people find child killers so much worse than adult ones, who really do know better.

lb - I think Denise Fergus welcome any programmes on her little boy, she doesn't want people to forget what happened to him and to keep his killers names in peoples minds. I think she would have fully approved of this programme, as she often speaks about James in the media. She is a woman I greatly admire.
I honestly don't know how his parents find the strength to go on. It would have killed me.
This case remains one of the most appalling crimes I have ever heard of and I am no less sickened now than I was when it took place. As a mother to a similarly-aged little boy, I can honestly say it strikes fear through my heart and I couldn't imagine anything worse than knowing that your child's last moments in life were filled with utter terror.
Those evil little monsters should never have been released.
