These 50 Images Seem Normal Until You Learn The Horror Behind Them

They want to release Jon Venables again but Jamie Bulger's mum is protesting to get him kept in.

@Marlowe Fitzpatrik, if it helps, one of them has grown up and been found with child p**n.

But the other, the one who came from a terrible background, seems to have been completely rehabilitated. Venables, who came from a pretty normal home, seems to be irretrievably evil. He is the one who keeps breaking his conditions and going back to prison. They're a stark lesson in how if you catch a child who seems broken early enough then if it's their environment driving them, they can be rehabilitated and live a normal life contributing to society, but if it's coming from within, there's not much you can do.

How would that "help"? At the time, nobody would have known who would be rehabilitated and who wouldn't.

Uh I’m pretty sure kids know not to t*****e and murder someone.

Do they? Or do we teach our children right from wrong. These 2 had never been told anything because their parents didn't care

There is no excuse for cold-blooded murder of a toddler. Mary Bell was 10 years old and killed two toddlers. Did she know it was wrong? Of course she did. There have been killers even younger,. There was a boy who killed his siblings because he did not want to babysit.

Mary Bell remarried and had children.

Even 10 year olds know you don't t*****e and murder other people. These two were (maybe still are) mentally ill.

Why have I been downvoted for facts they where allowed to watch violent movies and both boys parents were a*****e to both of them and they where very neglected. Sort it and go and look at facts before you all downvote. I live a few miles from Liverpool where this happened and I read the news papers of what was happening

While violent movies too early are a problem, a huge portion of kids are allowed to watch them too early and don’t do _this_.

Because it's easier to just say "they're evil" than to actually try to figure out why people do things like this.

You are right they did watch the Chucky film, the night before I think. I can't see anything about the Chucky films without thinking about these 2 and what happened.

They'd been allowed to watch violent movies such as Reservoir Dogs and the Chucky films

The first horror film I watched had a baby fall off a tall building, I was about 5 when I saw that. I went on to see the Exorcist & Jaws when they came out, I was 6 & 7. I am a childhood molestation survivor and survivor of horrendous sexual. mental and physical school bullying. I am not a violent person. Movies and video games don't make children into monsters, that takes another monster's hands.

Have you killed anyone? Millions of people had horrible childhoods and didn't become killers.

Well add to that the both of them were ab usi. ved by their own parents and never told right from wrong! They acted out a seen from reservoir dogs on Jamie.

back in the 80s, my grandad ran a video shop. when the "video nasties" were banned, he gave them to my mum, a horror film enthusiast. when my mum and auntie went out, my uncle would babysit, but he didn't really supervise us. he was just there in the house if we needed something. and we watched the banned films. mostly we thought they were funny. and I still knew that this was NOT okay. horror films do not make people do something like that.

Do you have any comprehension of how they tortured that poor kid? They are pure evil.

Okay, but I didn’t want to squish snails when I was 10. Each act they did was deliberate. A 10 year old can be a monster; it is not an excuse.

Think of them as dogs with brain damage who would just try to k**l anything that moves. Is it "nice" to keep them in a cage? No. Should others have to be bitten just so they can get out of the cage? Also no. Either nice cage or killing them.

Children so damaged can not be considered human any more. They should be permanently separated from the rest of society

My mum used them on us, but in her defence, she did have 4 kids under 6 years old at one time!

she doesn't need defence. they don't hurt, and they keep small children from wandering off or running into traffic and the like.

Leashes were around in the 1960s and no one was offended. These days people are offended by everything and looking for something to criticize.

myself, and later, all my cousins had toddler reins. it's fine. I don't get why people are so bothered by them. you put your dog on a lead so that they are safe, and don't wander off or run into traffic. same with small children. the harness is for safety. I can't see how some people are bothered by them.

It’s so completely awful. And the guys are walking around free.

@Marlowe, They were still 10 year olds who went out of their way to t.o.r.t.u.r.e. a little boy to death. This wasn't a case of an accident killing. 10 year olds know better.

Did they know better though? I think those boys must have been badly abused to do such a thing. Your brain isn't even fully formed until age 25. My kids and grandkids are loved beyond measure, they'd never do something like this because they're taught to be empathetic. Those boys were clearly never taught that. They were broken.

@Peeka_Mimi, sometimes, they're just born like that. I have a cousin who is just vicious, even from a tiny size. He's much loved by his parents, and his brother, also loved, is pure joy and delight. It's a startling contrast.
