It will be a terrible shame if he happens to have an accident whilst serving his sentence.

Good, they seriously just need to throw the key away with that one

Think it’s more to do with the noncing after he was released the first time.

Reading that article it doesn't sound like he co-operating with the probation service.
He's been out twice and re-offended both times. He's clearly got a lot of issues and is a very dangerous man. I doubt he can ever be released with confidence that he won't pose a risk to society and more worryingly children.

Rehabilitation should always be the aim over punishment but the safety of innocent children has to be paramount. That said, I'm not sure a prison is the right place for him to be.

Not necessarily. Some people are just evil.

Throw away the key

I think people like Venables just need putting down, no good will ever come from him being on our streets.

I was counselling a lad who had been in and out of secure accommodation since his early teens. He told me that he wanted to be back inside due to the routine he had and that he got regular meals. On the outside, he couldn't cope and within weeks of him telling me, he re-offended and got his wish.

Ok - so, nothing has gone wrong then.
Good to know

Both of them when they reached 18 should have been hung for what they did to that little boy

What happened to Robert Thompson? Never heard much about him, it just seems to be Venables in the media.

Apparently never been in trouble since. He was supposedly the ringleader of two as well.

Should lose his right to anonymity for me now. He's had enough chances.

Hang the ****** and be done with it.

I detest them both, but don't believe in the death penalty. And if you do why would you wait until they were 18?
