Jon Venables - What went wrong?

  • BBC documentary aired after Jon Venables, one of the two murderers of 2-year-old James Bulger in 1993, was re-incarcerated in 2010 for downloading and sharing child pornography on the Internet. In June 2011, Venables was denied parole for another year.
    On July 4th 2013, the parole board granted Venables parole. He was released from prison on September 3rd 2013.
    I uploaded this because the first upload by some other guy (sorry, mate, I forgot your name) of this documentary was split up and in a skewed format. This upload happens strictly for the benefit of people seeking knowledge. I hope this is not a violation of copyrights in any way. I am not in possession of the video in 480p or any other greater resolution. 360 is as good as it gets from me, I'm afraid.
    SO FAR I have enabled comments, and a good, serious debate (without the use of personal abuse and bad language) is always a good thing. However, if this turns into yet another array of messages speaking of hatred and revenge, I will delete all comments and disable them in the future. I do not want this to be yet another forum for vindictive people.
    R.I.P. James Bulger and my most sincere condolences to Denise and Ralph Bulger.

      Thankfully you had protective factors, whatever they may have been. Social and emotional intelligence play a large part but also gender. The majority of abused girls internalise their experience and are more likely to hurt themselves than others. With boys it's usually externalised and they are more likely to hurt others. It's not a coincidence that there is a history of abuse in the backgrounds of the majority of children and adults who kill.

      Celtic Crystal yes it does. Google ‘brain scan of a child that’s been nurtured properly vs a child that’s been abused and neglected“ and you’ll see a physical difference in the way that their brains have developed. How can a 10 year old child display positive behaviour if they’ve never been exposed to positive behaviour? They’re not superhuman. They can only replicate behaviour that they’ve witnessed, which, as we know, for Thompson & Venables, was abusive.

      The other totally ignored victims are those in the films of their torture and abuse that were found on his computer. It is not a victimless crime! And he's not alone, it's huge!! Every country has children being abused for the satisfaction of men. The numbers are so enormous I wonder really if there are any men who can be trusted to have not been part of this. There's no victory for all the people triumphantly saying ' we told you so ' There are just far too many children struggling in families with drink, drugs, violence and neglect. If we can't treat those children as victims themselves when some of them go truly off the rails I think the world is an even sadder place for children. At least we tried. One succeeded the other didn't. We learn what we can from this and move on. This endless witch hunt is really unhealthy and if you aren't personally involved I can't help but wonder why some people have become so obsessed. His family are the ones with that right, and they need love and support to try to come to terms with something they can never undo. All the rage in the world won't help with that ❤️

      You arguably can't rehabilitate a person who knows that every human on the planet sees them as scum, humans need a loving reflection, this is not saying he deserves this, it is just a fact. If tomorrow the entire world started reacting and treating you like a monster, you would turn into one, again this is not saying I think he should be treated any differently, I'm just stating a fact.

    I still can't get my head round the fact people think these kids could be rehabilitated. When you purposely go out on the hunt for a baby to torture there's no going back. They had a route planned, they were stopped by a stranger and they lied and said James was their brother, they took him to a place they knew they wouldn't be seen, they made the baby eat mud and debris, they chucked bricks and stones at his head, they beat him with iron bars, they pushed used batteries up his rectum, his foreskin had a tear, they emptied cans of paint on him..... I won't carry on.....
    These boys were mentally fucked, I don't know a insane adult capable of causing those sort of injuries on a baby let alone a 10 year old child. When something is that broken it needs the dustbin and the fact Jon went on to use child porn just sums up how beyond help this pair are

    • @clare2401
      @clare2401 8 ปีที่แล้ว +110

      Loving Narrowboat
      The problem is too many do-gooders take these kids on as a personal project, an ego stroking experiment. You see it all the time, they hear about some groundbreaking treatment from the US or some liberalised European country and think it can be applied to every case. When psychopaths start their journey it normally begins at the age of 8-12 with tormenting/abusing animals or siblings. The stark difference here is this pair went straight in. This was a premeditated act, it was planned and we know that because of the failed abduction earlier in the day on another child. I'm no expert but that alone flags up so many warning signals and I'm sorry you can't blame their upbringing on that level of mental and empathetic depersonalization. These animals should have been locked in a youth prison until they came of age then moved into the adult system. What worries me the most is they were given new IDs to protect them but their anonymity puts the rest of the general population in grave danger. The UK really needs to take a long hard look at cases like these and act accordingly and correctly

Regarding your comment about the believers of rehabilitation, I agree with you completely and add that this kind of evil has no cure and these do gooders need to face up to the reality that there are people in this world that you will never find anything good in them and with the most profound notion that they did and successfully fixed them I really don't imagine that anyone could live with the reality of their past actions. In the knowledge that one of them has managed to make the headlines with his depravity despite the intervention of all the agencies that oversee his well being and the fortunes spent on his new identity and integration into society as an adult do they still hold the same ideology of us all being good deep inside or do they hold their hands up and as the majority of us think 'Fuck it,let him rot'.

Neither of them should have been released after what they did. They are sick. They should both have 'whole life' tariffs, and them being 10 at the time shouldn't even matter.

      Both the boys were horrendously neglected and came from homes where abuse really means abuse. The damage done to them was likely what spurred on the actions they took with little James Bulmer and what they did was probably a kind of reenactment of what had happened to them but it got out of control because they were too young to handle their emotions and that led to the killing. A 10 year old girl strangled a 6 month old in the USA last week! Children must be supervised so that they are protected from themselves.

    Eric Smith was released at age 42 in Feb 2022, after 27 years in prison. He’d actually wanted to return to the small village where he’d killed four-year old Derrick Robbie, if you can believe that. Even if he didn’t have the strikingly unique physical features he has, anyone moving into a town with just 800 residents would be noticed and spark curiosity. Thankfully, the parole board didn’t approve it, so he ended up in a completely different part of the state. It really boggles my mind he thought he could return and make a go of it.

One man had the chance to give his final word to the killer (Danny Ridgway) and although most people were upset, the man still forgave him. Now I'm not saying that forgiveness should come easily or anything, i'm just trying to provide a situation that is more relevant than a car accident.

      But a quick pointer is something along the lines of taking a two year old child from his mother, terrorising him, torturing him and killing him in a very brutal manner like throwing bricks at him until he died. I would be fuming if that was my cat they coped hold of. . The sentence would have been more appropriate for what these creatures did.

      Because 10 year old are only starting to develop a sense of empathy and what's right and wrong. 14 year olds are fully conscious of the severity of their actions. The severity of a punishment can't be the same for the different ages, because 10 year olds are not accountable for a majority of their actions, especially violent ones. Often it is a result of severly neglecful upbringing or trauma at a young age. If you watch several of these videos you'll realise that their families were completely disfunctional, that the people who were supposed to care for them were in reality alcoholics and addicts and that the two children had a very limited support system.

    Evil is evil, regardless of your upbringing. There have been kids who've grown up in far worse circumstances and are great people. There are kids who grew up with a perfect family and they've killed simply because they wanted too. People like this don't deserve rehabilitation. The risk of an innocent persons life should outweigh the killers chance for rehabilitation. It's our responsibility as adults to ensure the safety and protection of any innocent person. Killers don't deserve that chance, to ensure the protection of the innocent.

I didn't have any empathy for both of them back now and I certainly don't have any now. That one here was already caught with indecent images of children on his computer. That says it all. He should been given a life sentence for that alone.
    They now get spoken about having gleaming results in their exams. As if they're trying to let us know that their evil created some geniuses. I don't give a shit, quite frankly. For all we know, they may have robbed the planet of an amazing man.

      it is disgusting what they've done but in the case of thompson i disagree with your view he faced abuse growing up, a disfunctional family with a leaving father and a suicidal drunk mother and even stated himself that venables was responsible for most of the acts, there's many statements from officers that thompson has shown considerable improvements going on to get multiple GCSEs (education generally relates to reform, him being smarter also means he most likely is a better person) a job, a life and a relationship, my point here is that people are easily affected by their environment and others surrounding them (such as thompson) and people (such as thompson) can change with the right help and we cannot judge those for their past actions forever (venables however is a pedophilic monster who deserves the death penalty for his repeated actions up to this day)
      I find your other point arguable as well, we should lock up all people who have committed highly questionable crimes forever even if they show improvement and when they eventually do come out they don't deserve any contact with people, job or form of payment to allow them to have a life? This is a really bad stereotype employed by many that ex-convicts will just keep repeating crime and it negatively affects many people who look back with regret on their past actions in life as they are unable to show how they have changed (except venables he's an idiot)
      I completely agree with you that the murder of the young boy was unacceptable at the time and still is a grievous action to this day and what they did was awful but in no way should they be forced forever when he has shown considerable change in all aspects that you dont seem to acknowledge at all, those who repeat these actions even after help are shown to have not learn and therefore deserve what you have stated (venables) I do understand your point of view

    I remember when my sister brought home her baby boy. There was something in his eyes that was dark and he was only ten days old. As a child he spit at other children and threw rocks at them. He used to put tacks on the staircase of the house so his older sisters would have them stuck in their feet when they came downstairs from their bedroom. Any small pet in the neighbourhood was not safe if he got ahold of it - there were numerous corpses in his sandbox located in the back yard. He was a misfit and a failure at school. At age 14 he was out of the school system, they could not cope with his behaviours. He wet his bed until about age 14. My sister and her husband did nothing about his behaviour which was dark, dangerous and anti-social. He could not sleep and would roam the city at all hours of the night. He died at age 40 through an over dose of pills and alcohol. He was born this way. No amount of therapy or rehabilitation would have changed his behaviour. I often wonder if there are unsolved homicides in the city where he lived - he was capable of anything. Evil comes in all ages.

    I don't think its possible to rehabilitate someone who commits terrible crimes such as this at such a young age. Whatever abuse and molestation that led them to torture and kill a defenseless toddler, goes far too deep and can't be fixed or erased.
    When small kids commit murder it's always horrific, partly because it's against other kids, partly because they tend to show no restriction what so ever. They obviously have not been taught empathy by anyone around them, and most likely neglected and abused since birth. If you don't experience proper love and empathy as an infant, it severely fucks up your brain and ability to function as a normal human being.

    Out of all the murder documentaries I have watched I have to say this one winds me up the most. Not only did they get a lenient sentence in the first place but one of them has re-offended countless times over different crimes. There's a saying that 'a leopard never changes it's spots' and Venables is a prime example of this. He is proud of who he is, he wants everyone to know his identity and has even going as low as to blame the murder on James' mother, showing he has no remorse, so what exactly did the Rehabilitation do? Nothing. A complete waste of time. Why does he keep getting released? For all I know my scouse friend could be Venables or Thompson I wouldn't have a clue. I can kind of understand the reasons for giving them a second chance in the world and a new identity, I never killed anybody at 10 years old but I made mistakes that I regret and so have others, plus they wouldn't have lasted a second back on the street under their legitimate names. But in my opinion I personally know people who have had worse upbringings than these two and have not gone on to kill, I heard rumours there was abuse in Thompson's family but I don't have a scooby about Venables. To be honest I always thought Thompson would have re-offended not long after Venables but who knows? People like that can't change who they are deep inside, they are forced to live with what they've done now and Venables can't deal with it. He gets released, he gets a job, gets a girlfriend, living the life of Riley and then blows it. The guy shouldn't have anymore chances, we wait to see what happens to Thompson but that kid is just as mentally scarred as Venables and will re-offended I can guarantee. Waste of time and waste of money spent on them and the justice system has been made a fool out of by Venables. However we do need to be more like the US in regards to strict sentencing but here's a thought, that Eric Smith who was severely bullied as a child, has shown some sign of remorse for his crime and is still in prison whereas they who were just a couple of ned's in my view are roaming the streets of Britain? Fairness I think not. These things will happen time and time again because this country is soft as clarts, parents are soft with their children, you will be surprised at how intelligent a 10-12 year old can be, some know more than a 15-16 year old. They know what they're doing and they're will never be any justice in this world until people realise this.

      I know a lady who raised 3 kids. One kid was a nightmare. Defined by antisocial personality disorder traits and diagnosed in the army with this. This mum was absolutely amazing as a parent and she tried so hard. Another family I know also have 3 kids, two are good kids, the third is scary… these parents indulge this kid - they have grown their very own little narcissist, both parents are narcissists and have told him how special he is, never made him apologise, never gave him consequences. But what makes this kid scary is he has exhibited all three elements of the McDonalds criteria (in fact I am even going to throw in sadism given how he killed ducklings, just like the kids in this documentary did). This mum said to me when he set fires she thought he was a young psychopath, he showed many of the elements of conduct disorder in a young child. Mum just buried her head in the sand. This documentary outlines killing ducklings and setting fires, and the kid I am talking about did this too as well as bed wetting, the third element of the McDonalds criteria. Your statement ‘what goes through the parents heads’ makes me wonder this too, but it isn’t always cut and dried. The first Lady I know did everything she could. The first kid (who is now and adult - I knew him many years ago) in question has evened out somewhat, has kids and grandkids now and he tries hard but has been swayed by crime on and off, although not for many years. The other young man I am talking about really frightens me…. He is now dealing drugs and regularly cheats on his girlfriends. He lacks a conscience. He is deeply charming.

      Well it depends. Thompson's mother had more kids than she could handle. She was an alcoholic and she just brushed it all under the carpet. She cared about him a little maybe but she was selfish. She knew he was out of control but she also knew her kids might be taken off her if the social got involved because of her drinking and she lost one son to Foster care already. Just a disgrace and the dad was no better. He walked out and gave her no help.

    "They showed respect to us, so we respected them." WTF kind of self entitlement is that?!? That's not how the world works sweetheart. This young gal is entitled and feels she is OWED respect. Nope! It doesn't work that way! She's the one locked up - she shows respect, earns it and then receives it! And the fact that inmates have play stations, live for free, etc. It's the same as a victim's parent said, "where is the punishment in that"?

    At the time they brutally tortured that tiny innocent little boy , my son was 2 years old . It broke my heart I could not believe it was children that did this unforgivable crime . To give them 8 years letting them back into society when bigger stronger and give them the rest of there lives to be free was totally disgusting . They took all there lives the family of James have endured a life of pain beyond words ! I

    +Robert Bones (3) Let's be honest, Thompson and Venables have hardly served a sentence. I read the social worker report who was part of the team 'caring' for Thompson. He showed no remorse, was top dog in his 'cushy' rehabilitation centre (which housed 14 people only), had his own ensuite room, TV, Playstation, etc, taken out for shopping trips and days out, had a monthly allowance to buy his expensive trainers, etc, wanted to get a tattoo but this social worker advised against it (what a shame that was. He could have had 'I killed James' tattooed on his forehead). I also wouldn't be surprised if he was taken on holidays abroad. Boarding school would have been tougher and parents pay to send their children there.

    2 years old. It's just heartbreaking. People throw around the word heartbreak like it's nothing sometimes, but this case genuinely breaks my heart.
    I remember Richard and Judy talking about this case on This Morning. I was 6, home from school and my parents had it in the tv. I've never forgotten James Bulgers name and never will. It's ingrained in my heart. Rest in peace lovely little boy.

      I guess it’s hard to know I googled where they are at now after this and Venables seems the least able to continue with life as normal. Keeps talking about his identity and can’t make friends or get a partner. Perhaps he feels the most guilty and is the most messed up it’s hard to know. He even asked not to be released as he just can’t cope in the real world. But it could mean he was the ring leader it’s rly hard to know.

The poor guy was hounded for months and was pushed to breaking point with false accusations that robbed his children of a father and destroyed a family

    what makes me vomit is the fact that if someone found out the identity of either of those rats and released it, then that person would be facing 2 years in jail ... that equates to a quarter of the total time those bastards each served ... so in essence the courts deemed that the murder of that little boy is only worth 6 years more ... BASTARDS !!!

    In the original case of James Bulger, there was a suggestion of a sexual motive-the body was found half naked, and there were suggestions of abuse. None of this is mentioned, or that in very rare cases that children show early signs of aggressive sexual behavior. The simple answer that he was 'under stress' because of his new identity is simply not enough, or that his was disposition was caused by his difficult family background, which many children go through.

  • @DreamBelief

    And so many thought that Jon can't possibly have been that heavily involved. They all thought that robert must have been the big ringleader, simply because jon seemed weaker, less streetwise, and more emotional. You can't just judge by things like that. I guess such people have learned that the hard way now.
