It was not real? I have to doubt that. Beangirl, I know that's what you're quoting not what you're saying. I am rebutting the book not you.
Not real? My sister was only 3 when my bird Greenboy died. She understood that. Then a few weeks later my grandpa died. Wasn't murdered. Birds that are almost 8 die so do men in their late 70s. But my sister then only 3 knew that they weren't coming back to us.
I have a harder time thinking by 10 they wouldn't get that
I also have a hard time thinking that if they did what they did to kill a kid they had to have a plan where to take him and well its unthinkable.
but that was done with a plan. so how can they say they din't think it was real?
Did the rapist not think it was real either? I am going to put Monopoly money in my pocket on my way to school and then steal real money if I get caught I'll say that I carry this around so much I didnt' realize it was real.
I wouldn't really do that.

If Id been the rape victim Id be so traumatized by them making the rapist seem like another victim.
I remember that case in England. I was in sixth or seventh grade when that happened. I have never wondered what became of the sickening kids who killed the little boy.

You are right Jason. They did plan this.Why? I do not know.They could be just evil.I am going by the interviews that they conducted with them after they were arrested.They could not figure out why they could not go home?They were hysterical. Mostly for them selves not the baby they killed.

They were hysterical. Mostly for them selves not the baby they killed. And that's how they say 'it wasn't real to them.' Maybe they figured being kids they wouldn't get locked up but I can't see how they didn't see it as real. It's interesting what goes on in minds like theirs though. We'll probably never fully understand such people. That's why they're called the insane. But they had enough ration to be selfish. Being they could be hysterical for themselves and not for that child or his family. |

The interviews were so crazy.These boys were sceaming and crying and sucking there thumbs.They were the most hated boys in the world at the time.They both had a rough upbringing but I have heard of worse and children did not do what they did. |

Sucking their thumbs? That's interesting in a way. Meaning fear made them reduce themselves to almost baby status. That's the angle that lawyers use to envoke sympathy therefore moving attention away from what they had done and showing us what the law is doing to these boys. While I get the point they're fearful of their fate some things can not be undone and there's no fixing it.

The sentence was the only one England has for children 10 years and younger. Serve until 18 years then released. We have the same one here in America. Government has to determine an age in which a child can be held responsible for there actions. 10 years is the cut off age.

Most times theyll do something again and get life or at least a long term sentence. The problem is it comes at the expense of another murder or at least another person hurt or violated. |
