I remember reading about this poor kid James Bulger. Gotta ask. KNOWING WHAT WE ALL NOW KNOW....any chance this kid was abused by adult pedos? The pedos paid the two young boys to lure him from the mall (I know this was captured on mall cameras) over to where they did what they did, then they disposed of him?

Its somewhat hard to believe that two young boys did the physical things they did to James, no matter how damaged or abused they were themselves.

Any UKers here?

I did a paper on this subject as I was at Uni doing Forensic Psychology. There was no one else involved except those two boys. It took a long time before the actual details of the crime were released but I was priveleged to get to see case files due to where I did my placement year. I wish I could remember the name of the guy who wrote a small book outlining the psychology of the two, and the best theorised reasons behind it that I encountered in my research. ( I’ve been looking for it for years)

what were your findings on how two 10 year olds could possibly be so evil, they knew how to cut off a peis and shove batteries up an aus. It just doesn't make sense to me. This is what I read happened. I immediately thought the batteries shoved up there were to cover up the fact he may have been an*lly raped by unknown perps.

AGAIN, knowing what we all now know, its crucial to question past news events.

RIP James. @carmencita @UnicornandSparkles @TriciaUK @ Any Brits here ?

This story, no matter who did it, just makes me so very sick. Who ever did this is really sick. And if they did blame it on the boys they are even worse. I can't even find a name for that. And what they did, how does someone even get to that point. It just breaks your heart

its reasonable to suspect the young perpetrators were corrupted themselves, but there's nothing that sticks out about the case suggesting Venables potential abuser wasnt a regular/singular paedophile as opposed to the institutionalised/organised paedophilia that pizzagate concerns itself with. If it did have some connection you'd get a sense of media coverup, and this case was always dead centre in the public eye

It's good that we question everything in the light of what we know.

Unlike @DerivaUK, I've followed the case only in the news. I thought that the two boys had suffered from abuse/torture themselves (maybe they were raped anally, which would explain the way they used the batteries.)

Unfortunately, it's not uncommon that children abuse other children, there have been incidents at Eton where the younger boys got raped by the older ones.

Last year, a 17yr. old Eton boy went to trial who had produced (!) and distributed the most horrible kind of child porn imaginable.
