This evil pair didn't just murder their young victims (if that wasn't bad enough), but they also got "pleasure" from torturing them first and hearing them scream. How could any parent (or anyone else, for that matter) ever forgive such crimes? In the James Bulger case, I had thought that 2 year old James had "just" been murdered until I learnt that he too had been tortured first. As it says on the website
http://www.jamesbulger.co.uk/main.html,
"...they subjected James to horrendous physical torture before battering him to death". For most normal people, this degree of evil is impossible grasp.
