sorry for so many replies, not sure how to put a few different quotes into one post
We never know if there is someone like Venables living next door to us. Many sex offenders/ paedophiles and the like are never caught and are living at large and anonymously in the UK. Of course he is not high on the desirable neighbour list but if the alternative was that he would be beaten to death in my street (and lets be honest, this is what we are talking about when we say that his identity would be out there) well yes, I would choose that.
I cannot accept that it is okay for mob rule/ vigilante justice. I don't believe that we can pick and choose when we follow the law and when we just turn a blind eye.
Not everyone in that situation would want to rip them limb from limb. For some people, lowering themselves to that animalistic level would not make them feel better. For me, blood on my hands would not make me feel better but overwhelmingly guilty for taking the life of another.if it was your LO that he did this to, im sure ud want to kill him with ur bare hands, i think any mother would want to if such an ANIMAL tourchered their LO the way he did,
and i agree nobody can actually say what they would do until they was in that situation themselves
My problem with the 3 strikes system is that it works when there are 3 major crimes but falls down if the 3rd conviction is for something minor. However, I believe that some crimes should mean whole life sentences, not 12 years.
Well to be honest, i think anybody that looses a child to a murderer would want him to see how it feels, well at least try to make him feel some sort of pain.

The thing is that how you feel about vengeance before you lost your child would very much impact upon how you would react after the event. While that is how you feel not everyone does.
Many years ago I taught the cousin of a girl who had been murdered in a very notorious case. Her mum spoke to me about how she had so much fear for her own daughter but that she believed in prison as punishment.

I think prison should mean punishment, not days out and pocket money x

It is not about human rights,it is the fact that I do not agree with mob rule.We never know if there is someone like Venables living next door to us.

You are a much better person than me.
People talk about human rights. What about the human rights of a young, loving two year old boy who got tortured. He kept following these 'friends' as he was lost to ble repeatedly abused. I think about my little boy in that position, I actually feel sick thinking about it.
10 years old or not...they know right from wrong and yes they should be kept locked away in a cell, given only bread and water.
In the papers again today...
