just watched a programme containing unseen police interviews , interviews with the killers themselves and forensic psychiatrists

Those lads were guilty of a horrific crime and one of them still has very worrying tendencies, they have to be watched till they die

But whats clear is they have dreadful backgrounds . They would leave the house in the morning before their families would get up and stay out until they had gone to bed . They were part of a feral gang that lived on the streets of inner city liverpool , spending all day shoplifting food and robbing from handbags to have enough money to buy coffee and stay out of the cold . And stay away from home.

The forensic psychiatrist said these lads , who were only 7 when they became street kids , were not going home till everyone was asleep and staying out all day because they were afraid of what was happening at home .

They were being abused .

The mind is a very complex thing and what those kids went through as youngsters must have been horrific and turned them into monsters .

Not all kids abused go onto abuse or kill others, especially at such a young age but it certainly messed up those two .

Jamie Bulger , poor little kid , what a nightmare for his family

How does a mother recover from that ?
