I'm sure alot of you are familar with his story, as there has been an email petition circulating for quite some years. (The petition is fake, BTW, as are most e-mail petitions, also the information is inaccurate.)
The full story of what happened is here, in detail right down to direct dialect from the 2 boys in court and interrogation. (I warn you, though, it's graphic)
The sick thing is that the 2 boys who did this got out of jail before they were 20 and are now living under the saftey of witness protection, while James died at the age of 2, when he should be 18 this year. I have a 2 year old nephew, and if this ever happened to him, I would want whoever was responsible to rot in prison the rest of their lifes for it.
I just felt he needed some recognition in this site, since like Judith, he is a Concrete Angel now.

We are pretty bad about it here...with the once you are 18 your childhood crimes are wiped clean...but in the UK they have had a serial killer that is free right now because she did her string of murders when she was 12 yo.
James Buldgers story was very sad...I remember first hearing about this.
I have a copy of the footage and his original news story somewhere...Ill have to look for it.
That was terrible! It was sickening! I knew that Jamie Bulger was killed by two young boys, but I didn't know all the details.
I never knew about the train and what it did to him...I can't think about it without being horrified!
Why would anyone do such a thing? A lot of people blame the media, but I think that's a cop-out. I think in some people, something clicks. The boys were victimized in school, so they decided to pick on someone smaller than themselves.
This, however, does NOT justify what they did. NOTHING justifies what they did...it was pure evil. What they did was sick and twisted, and I wish they'd gotten life in an adult prison!

I agree...
They couldn't have been just typical "badass" school age kids, trying to impress each other by daring to steal, smoke, whatever...but steal and murder and innocent baby? I cant even imagine what was going through their minds.

I watched in parts on Youtube...it made me angry when I saw what good conditions those boys have been living in for all these years, and especailly when I heard that Robert Thompson basically left the center anytime he pleased. These boys needed to be taught a lesson. I seriously doubt they learned it. They should still be behind bars, and honestly, I hope somebody finds them and takes care of them for what they did.

I think it's horrible what they did...but I disagree with an angry mob wanting to kill them if they're ever set free. If some vigilante were to kill them that would make that person no better than them.
