Justice is being served.
I have compassion for the two children who killed James.
Sometimes the justice system, made by man...seems to fail us, but the justice served by God will right all wrongs with time.
They were children, they should not have been tried in an adult court, but they did get leniency, and only serve 8 years.
Robert Thompson has shown up until this point, that he has been able to go on, and live a life outside of criminal activity. He may have learned his lesson. However, he will go on for the rest of his life, knowing he killed a small child, knowing how he killed him, and hearing his cries before he falls asleep at night. He knows what he did, he will always be in his own psychological prison....his hell. Part of his justice, is growing up..no, he's not that same kid, he's now an adult who has to live with this horrific crime that he committed. His torment should exceed Denise's torment, he is directly responsible for killing and taking James life. He will forever regret, be guilty, and live with that...as he should.
Jon Venables, on the other hand...has shown he is beyond repair. His psychological state, is one...that will land him nine psychological ward of prison, or a high security mental institute for the rest of his life. I don't believe the British justice system, will be lenient on him as an adult. They won't be able to, he's on the wrong side of the line as it is right now...he's showing he is disturbed, damaged, and a threat to society. They won't be able to let him loose after this, because he will end up dead by revenge, or suicide.
Things have a way of working out in the long wrong...this is still unfolding.
You can not compare Mary Bell to Jon Venables, nor Jon Venables to Robert Thompson on rehabilitation...no two people are alike, what works for one...may not for another.
I do not think, Denise needs to be constantly looking over her shoulder, or watching out for these boys. I think she's been through enough...and it would not be letting James down to find peace, and happiness in her life. I think James would want that. I'm a firm believer in the afterlife, and I believe he is in a better place than all of us.
I don't think the justice system could have done anything different to create a better outcome. Nobody can say, or knows...things most likely would have still turned out the way they are today.
I always believed, after seeing Jon hold James hand and was the one to lead him away, and after hearing his interview...that he was the leader. I still think he is hiding things that happened to him as a child, and he always will.
Their parents let them down, CPS let them down, their teachers let them down, and yes society let all of them down, including James.
Once they committed murder, the damage was done. The British Justice System, had to serve justice, and clean up the carnage left behind.
Unfortunately, they can not make everyone happy, or find the balance of what is Justice...because everyone disagrees when dealing with children. So the story has to unfold, and play out....and it's still playing today.
I do not know the appropriate punishment for such a crime with small children...I trust God will ultimately have the last say...but I do think society has a responsibility...to the victims families as well. Not because they deserve it, or because you have to....but because you should. If you see someone needs help...your eyes see this, it is your responsibility to help. You are being called to help.
