We all had to pick a criminal, and I've already chose mine, but our task was to find out as much as possible about the killing of James Bulger. I was wondering, assuming it's appropriate, could any of our older members give me their view on Jon Venables and Robert Thompson?
I've already gathered plenty of information on the topic to know what happened, etc, I watched a few documentaries - and I've decided for my homework to do a survey, to ask 5 people. I've already asked my mam and my grandma, who both said they were absolutely gobsmacked two 10 year olds could kill a 2 year old boy like that. In fact, they instantly remembered the names, following my question 'do you remember those 2 kids who killed that little boy back in 1993?'.
So, can any of the elders give me their help?
I was 2 when this happened... however i seem to remember hearing about, not sure if this was when i was little order or not...
The whole nation was shocked at it, how could two 10 years kill at 2 year old and why?
Unfortunately... i don't remember my reaction with me being 2 at the time but as the years gone on, i learnt more about them... every time i see their faces, i wanna punch them....
I hope that helps haha
