I'm avoiding quoting - it's getting a bit long on here.
I am all for giving violent offenders treatment, counselling and whatever else is needed to prevent them coming out and offending again. Not for their sake - but for mine and my family's. Since so many offenders are let out far too early - they should be taught not to offend any more.
But, these are not a couple of drug addicta, desparate for a fix and mugging someone to get it. They tortured the poor lads. TORTURED for HOURS. Not a quick bash, it dragged on and on. And when they got bored and tired they wandered off. Leaving one of the boys blinded and unable to move begging his friend to leave him to die - HE WAS 9 FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!! And he was waiting to DIE! I remember when my son was 9 and upset when he fell out with his friend. This horror breaks my heart.
No these scum do not deserve to breathe the same air as my child or yours. Maybe they were damaged by their upbringing, buy non-existant parenting. I don't care - they must never, ever be allowed to practice being human on the rest of the population. They might be rehaibilitated, eventually. Would any of us want them living next door to our kids?
Their basic human rights should be catered for (since apparently we can't bring back capital punishment) - food, shelter, healthcare and education, and especially psychiatry to attempt to fix them. But as to letting them out - it would be an impossible risk.
Their 'parents'? I despair. Sterilise certainly. But what about their influence on other youngsters? Do they have nieces or nephews they are infecting with their appaling behaviour.
We're not talking about people who go to the supermarket in dirty shell suits here - it seems they (mother only?) destroyed their sons. What punishment/prevention is appropriate for that?
The answer for the future? I don't know - but there must be room for discussion about requiring every prospective parent (ma and pa) to have to pass at least a basic competency test before they can go ahead. I'm not talking exams or even GCSE's. But basic stuff. Stuff like not feeding your kids illegal drugs, looking after them, teaching them right from wrong. And if a parent doesn't know right from wrong what the hell are they doing bringing up kids.

" So this liberal lefty government caused this.
What or who caused Mary Bell?
Anyone remember who was in power for the 10 years before James Bulger was killed? Or the ten years before Hindley and Brady "?
The social and family decline I believe HAS been caused by this Government.
Mary Bell was 1968 ... PM was Harold Wilson
James Bulger was 1993 .... PM was John Major
The Moors murders were between 1963-1965...PM's were Lord Home and Harold Wilson.
The Moors murders were unheard of in their time, hence why they were never released even after what was it for Hindley...30 years? Brady is still incarcerated.
Mary Bell was also an exceptional case at that time.
James Bulger was also an exceptional crime, which the likes of had never been heard of before.
You name three cases over how many years? And to be honest we are talking about childrens crimes and not those carried out against children I thought.
If you are trying to say that crimes carried out by children are just as bad in the 60's or 70's as they are now, then have to get me Google hat on...it won't take long.
Children now are more aggressive now, parents are worse now with showing any sort of responsibility towards their kids.
You use an example above of the Moors murders who were adults who did terrible crimes,in the last 12 months we have heard of many disgusting things that adults have done to kids, and in this thread it is not a good example.
Luckily enough these crimes carried out by children on children are rare, but childrens aggression is far worse now than it has ever been.
The social decline and the family breakdown ( mainly attributed to this Government )is a major factor in childrens lack of social skills, and parents inability to be proper parents that set out boundaries and to show responsiblities.
Kids are kids at the end of the day, and are a direct result of the social skills they learn from their parents and teachers. Teachers can only educate them...parents are supposed to educate them into what is right or wrong, and not to feed them drugs and drink, and to watch violent films.
With parents like these kids had, they never stood a chance....yes I firmly believe that this Government in particular ARE responsible for the lack of parenting skills that ultimatly lead to reckless and feral kids.

The years 1861 or 1144? wtf?
They were draconian times, medieval where life meant virtually nothing.
I thought British society had moved on a bit from those days.

We are talking about a crime that is so horrific committed by children against children...in 2010!
Or are you saying that peoples attitudes and ways they treat their human counterparts has not changed at all in what 100 or 500 years? That is rubbish and you know it.
We have evolved a tad since 1164 fgs, in our values and the way we treat others.
Still you have your views and thankfully every single person that I know has the same views as me....
Still I suppose someone has to oppose the obvious!
