4million spent on them the more i read about these 2 the more i feel sick.Quote:
Forget the £4million that has been spent on rehabilitating Venables and Thompson - giving them new identities and a lifestyle almost certainly more comfortable than they would have enjoyed had they not killed James.
He's back in for violence in his work place. I just hope the guy who he was violent to releases his identity
I wonder if his partner knows who he really is?Quote:
While strict court orders have drawn a veil of secrecy on the killers' lives, it is known Venables, now believed to be a born-again Christian, had settled down and was planning to marry.
Why £1 million a year :S They arent followed by police 24/7.
He was engaged to a woman then left her for a bloke i think.Quote:

In a way its fair to give them a "second chance" as they were so young when they murdered the kid. However, I think 8 years was too short. It should have been atleast 15 or even 20.
After which, release them and monitor them closely. Break a law = back in jail.
I always feel sick when this story is brought up, that poor child that suffered at the hands of those two boys. I think blaming it all on the children's backgrounds etc is just... stupid. Loads of people have those sorts of problems, and yet they don't do that.
It's clear BOTH of the boys should have stayed in jail forever, after killing that poor baby.
