@Linkat,
I’m gratified that this has moved on from it’s racist roots and moved on to the legitimate topic of child murderers.
For that you should be congratulated. Well done.
When the Bulgar case was going on there was a lot of talk about what we should do with children like this, and the case of Mary Bell was brought up.
There is a page on Wikipedia about her so I won’t go into details. The point is that even though the crimes are horrific they are perpetrated by children. It isn’t like they are not being punished for what they have done even though that may seem like a slap on the wrist. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and so many of them seem to have been rehabilitated and are leading productive lives, and those failures like in the Bulgar case have been picked up and put back behind bars.
Even though I agree with it intellectually it still leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
