Reply to comment by [deleted] in Young Kids, Hard Time (2011) - "When it comes to kids and punishment, the question needs to be answered: Do kids, no matter what the crime, belong in the adult prison?" [00:41:45] by MiddleUziVert

I just remember the two kids who took a baby, covered it in paint to suffocate it and then left it on some train tracks to watch it get cut in half.

There are kids I don't think should have second chances. Psychopaths are psychopaths.

What’s odd is that the supposed ring leader at the time (Thompson) is said to have been successfully rehabilitated and has committed no further crimes. He now lives under a state provided new identity, and is said to live with a partner who’s the only person who knows who he really is (other than legal people).

The other (Venables) has become a life long sexual predator, and now has multiple convictions which will probably mean he’ll be never released again. He’s cost the UK hundreds of thousands in new identities which he’s then blown himself by committing more crimes.

Humans have a remarkable ability to react to situations in a totally individualised way.
