Im ashamaed about the UKs justice system, there is not justice. There is far too many sickening things over here, just like everywhere else, but the difference in the states is that when people are bad they get punished. Over here they get a slap on the wrist and told they get a new life, anonyminity, new job etc..
What a justice system huh.. *holds head in shame*

Don't read the Sun newspaper so often - apart from the page 3 topless models
It's not for speculation as to whether the kids were of not sound mind and if that were the case, there is some valid mitigation. Few civilised societies take revenge on mentally ill folks.
Kids can't plan an outing, nevermind two of "unsound mind" getting together and planning to kill another child. The odds of that are remote - tho possible.
I'd bet ya $10K that not only one, but both attackers have a background of being abused by adults. Both are "victims" of abusive adults and, in turn, so is Jamie Bulger.
Agree... the UK is no different to most other western countries in the sickening things that happen. Apart from simple greed and crimes committed to gain material advantage, probably the most damaging thing is the abuse of children - simply because this extends outwards and often results in abuse of other children.
There are individuals walking in the UK now who are "known" for problems relating to children and in ... can't remember.. either two or three instances, it's a matter of finding bodies of missing children who are, in some way, connected to these individuals. There is currently little *actual* evidence which can be used in court, but that will happen eventually. The one factor in common with all of these individuals is that all were abused as kids - and have progressed in their lives to abusing other kids and possibly killing some. It's a vicious circle.
Don't knock the justice system too much
There are a good few extremely able judges there who can see thru bullshit in a second and don't tolerate crap, but also absorb every detail. I'd trust them more than any gossip from the media - it's their job to judge and sentence.
