I agree with you a million times over teh Bulgar case. I did not ever kill a child but I do know I'd hate to be judged at 32 on anything I did when I was 10.
Less laudably there is something about James Bulger's mother's baying for blood and vengeance which repulses me and leaes me not feeling the sympathy I should feel for someone whose child has been murdered. And of course had she not left her toddler outside a shop... Odd isn't it the McCann's are lambasted for leaving their child in a hotel room but nobody dares suggest that James BUlger should not have been left unattended outside a shop.
I personally would have charged 3 sets of parents with neglect over the Bulger case.
