On February 12, 1993, James Bulger was with his mother at the New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle, near Liverpool. In a moment of distraction, James wandered away from his mother’s side. It was then that Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, both aged ten, spotted him. Security camera footage later revealed that the boys had been roaming the shopping center, attempting to lure other children before successfully leading James away.

For two miles, Thompson and Venables walked with James, leading him on a terrifying journey. Witnesses saw the boys and the distressed toddler but assumed they were siblings or that the older boys were looking after him. The journey ended at a railway line near Walton, Liverpool. There, the boys threw paint at James, kicked him, stamped on him, and threw bricks at him. They even put batteries in his mouth before they dropped a 10 kg railway fishplate him. James was then left on the tracks, where he was subsequently hit by a train.

The disappearance of James triggered an extensive search operation. The breakthrough came when CCTV footage from the shopping center was released to the public, showing James being led away by two young boys. This footage was crucial in identifying Thompson and Venables as the suspects.

The arrests of Thompson and Venables shocked the nation. The idea that two ten-year-old boys could commit such a heinous crime was incomprehensible to many. During their trial, it was revealed that the boys had planned the abduction and had even attempted to kidnap another child earlier that day. The prosecution presented compelling evidence of the boys’ culpability, including their detailed confessions and forensic evidence linking them to the crime scene.

The trial of Thompson and Venables took place at Preston Crown Court in November 1993. Both boys were found guilty of murder, making them the youngest convicted murderers in modern British history. They were sentenced to indefinite detention, with a minimum term suggested by the trial judge. This sentence sparked a fierce debate about the appropriate punishment for juvenile offenders and the capacity for rehabilitation.

The murder of James Bulger had a profound impact on the British public and legal system. The case led to a re-evaluation of how young offenders are treated within the criminal justice system. The intense media coverage and public outrage underscored the need for better child protection measures and more comprehensive support for families and communities.

Thompson and Venables were released on lifelong license in 2001, after serving eight years in detention. They were given new identities to protect them from public retribution. However, Jon Venables later returned to prison on several occasions for various offenses, reigniting public debate over the effectiveness of his rehabilitation.

Jon Venables, who tortured and murdered toddler James Bulger when he was 10, might be let out on parole this year after he was caught a SECOND time with child sexual abuse material (with videos/images of children as young as 2 being assaulted)! Not only that, but UK authorities are considering to resettle him in some other British colony like Canada, New Zealand or Australia because it's become so expensive for them to hide his current identity from the public.

The first time he was caught with CP they only sentenced him 2 years in prison. Was it not enough that they're so lenient on sex crimes but they have to protect this evil demon too?

Crimes That Shook Britain (North West)

Moors Murders Not just notorious in the UK, the name Ian Brady and Myra Hindley are synonymous with evil worldwide. In the 1960s the twisted couple tortured and violently murdered Pauline Reade, 16, John Kilbride, 12, Keith Bennett, 12, Lesley Ann Downey, 10, and Edward Evans, 17.

During their killing spree, Brady and Hindley posed for photos at the murder scenes and gravesites on Saddleworth Moor, near Manchester.

Both were convicted of multiple murders and sentenced to life. Hindley died behind bars in 2002, aged 60. She was so despised that 20 local undertakers refused to handle her body. Brady spent 19 years in standard prisons before being transferred to a high-security psychiatric hospital where he died in 2017 at the age of 79.

The Murders of PCs Bone and Hughes In November 2012, wanted killer Dale Cregan, 29, had made a hoax call to police. When PC Nicola Hughes, 23, and PC Fiona Bone, 32, attended, Cregan fired 32 bullets at them and launched a grenade before driving off. Both officers died.

In February 2013, Cregan admitted both murders at Preston Crown Court. He was given a whole life order, and also convicted of two other murders and three attempted murders.

Then-PM David Cameron honoured PC Bone and PC Hughes, calling their murders ‘an act of pure evil’.

Harold Shipman Britain’s most prolific serial killer, GP Harold Shipman, worked in The Hyde area of Manchester. In January 2000, he was found guilty of murdering 15 of his patients by lethal injection.

Sentenced to life, it was recommended he never be released. After the trial, an inquiry concluded Shipman had actually killed an estimated 250 victims.

Shipman killed himself in Wakefield Prison in January 2004, on the eve of his 58th birthday.

The Murder of James Bulger The unforgettable CCTV footage remains as chilling as it was back in 1993. Little James Bulger, 2, being led by the hand from The New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle, Liverpool, by the boys who’d go on to kill him.

Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, both 10, walked the tot for over two miles to railway tracks where they murdered him.

When James’ body was found, he had multiple skull fractures and other injuries that suggested he’d been hit with a metal bar and bricks, kicked and stamped on.

Thompson and Venables became Britain’s youngest convicted murderers in November 1993 for what the judge called ‘an act of unparalleled evil and barbarity’.

The Murder of Anthony Walker At 11pm on 29 July 2005, popular student Anthony Walker, 18, and his cousin walked his girlfriend to the bus stop in Huyton, Liverpool.

As they passed a pub, thug Michael Barton shouted racist abuse at the group, which they ignored. But later, Barton and his friend Paul Taylor ambushed the teenagers.

Anthony’s cousin and girlfriend escaped, while Anthony was killed by Taylor with a blow to the head from an ice axe. That December, Paul Taylor, 20, got 23 years for murder. Michael Barton, 17, got 17 years, reduced by a year in 2016.

Derrick Bird It was the UK’s worst mass shooting since the 1996 Dunblane massacre. In June 2010, taxi driver Derrick Bird, 52, left his home in Rowrah, Cumbria, drove to the home of David, his twin, and shot and killed him.

Then he drove to his family solicitor Kevin Commons’ home and shot him dead, too. His next victim was a fellow taxi driver. By now, police were hunting Bird and told residents of nearby towns to stay indoors. But by the time Bird’s body was found at 1:40pm, he’d killed 12 people and left 25 injured before shooting himself.

At an inquest into Derrick Bird’s death, a medical expert described him as ‘delusional and paranoid’. He’d apparently murdered his brother and solicitor believing they were in cahoots against him over a tax bill. He’d targeted his workmate over a jibe that’d been made over his personal hygiene.

But no one could ever offer a satisfactory explanation of this senseless, devastating crime.

Poll 4

[blunderpuff]

two unrelated kids (problematic 6yo and 4yo) were carousing together at the library, and then the older one Made Up A Guy that was just too real and the younger kid was so upset by the Made Up Guy that he had a screaming fit about it

the older kid (already known to us that day as an asshole) reported that a man outside had been banging on the windows and told the kids he was calling the cops and the kids were going to jail (please understand: this window was 15 feet from where I was sitting. none of it happened.)

4yo’s mom went running out there, i went to the window, other coworker in the children’s room went to the window, 3 kids playing at the puppet theater (with a direct line of vision to the window) all looked... there was No Man. literally the only person out there was the mom who went to check. plus, NO ONE HEARD ANY POUNDING ON THE WINDOW OR ANYONE YELLING (cuz it didn’t happen).

but the 4yo was Super Duper Upset, like red-faced screaming crying snot-flying gasping-for-breath UPSET and terrified that he was going to jail. meanwhile, the adult with the 6yo turned out to ALSO be problematic, and was haranguing the 6yo into giving a description, telling us she was going to press charges against the (Made Up) Guy, telling everyone in earshot that she THOUGHT the library was a SAFE place to take kids, etc.

The 4yo’s mom wanted us to do something, but she didn’t know what she wanted us to do, we didn’t know what to do... she did agree that she had been the ONLY person in the ENTIRE parking lot, and she was out there within 1 minute of the report of Guy Telling These Kids They Were Going To Jail, and that it was unlikely that the kids would have been able to so clearly understand someone yelling through heavy duty public building glass... but she wouldn’t take it to the natural conclusion that “Maybe this didn’t actually happen and the 4yo is doing his best to relate the situation, but his best ain’t great”

just... how unnecessary. good lord. EVENTUALLY, literally an HOUR LATER, problematic mom and problematic 6yo came up to the desk with a description of the Guy: he had a black jacket and dark hair. (do you wanna guess what the problematic 6yo was wearing/his hair color? if you guessed... black jacket and dark hair, you’re smarter than that kid’s mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

On the morning of 2 August, 1993, 13-year-old Eric Smith was cycling his bike to summer camp in Steuben County, New York. On his way, he encountered four-year-old Derrick Robie, who was walking to the same summer camp. Smith pulled up alongside him and struck up a conversation with the younger boy.

Smith then lured Derrick to a nearby wooded area where he proceeded to strangle him, strike him with a rock. He then sexually assaulted Derrick with a stick, and poured Kool-Aid in his wounds. Several hours later, Derrick’s body was found when his mother went to collect him at the summer camp only to find that he had never arrived.

Later that night, Smith confessed what he had done to his mother who immediately called police. Smith was ordered to stand trial for the murder and there was an extensive media flurry due to his young age. His defence team argued that he had been a loner who was heavily bullied in school due to his red hair, freckles, and glasses. They called on a psychiatrist who diagnosed him with intermittent explosive disorder. His testimony was countered by a prosecution expert who argued that this disorder was very rarely seen in children. 

Eric Smith was ultimately convicted of second-degree murder and was ordered to serve a minimum of nine years in prison. While incarcerated, Smith wrote an apology to the Robie family, which read: 

“I know my actions have caused a terrible loss in the Robie family, and for that, I am truly sorry. I’ve tried to think as much as possible about what Derrick will never experience: his 16th birthday, Christmas, anytime, owning his own house, graduating, going to college, getting married, his first child. If I could go back in time, I would switch places with Derrick and endure all the pain I’ve caused him. If it meant that he would go on living, I’d switch places, but I can’t.” 

Over the years, Smith applied for parole but was always denied. However, after serving 27 years behind bars, he was paroled in 2022.
