Gross miscarriage of Justice

I guess this is kind of following on from my last post.

As I am sure many of you know, several years back a little boy was taken from his Mother at a local supermarket. He was kicked, punched and worse. Paint was smeared in his eyes and he was left on a railway track to die.

Those of you who do not know this story will be shocked to hear that this was done by two pre-teen boys.

There 'punishment' for this is a new identity and home in Austrailia.

Now, could someone please explain to me what repulsive person gave these boys a second chance? When they so violently comminted this crime they were roughly (I dont know the exact age) 11 years old. Now, correct me if i'm wrong but when i was 11 years old i was quite clear on the difference between right and wrong. Weren't you? So why, now these boys are 18 have they not been punished?

A young boy (when i say young, i mean 3 years old) had his life stolen on that day. A mother lost her child. A grandparent lost her grandchild. A sister lost her brother.

Isn't it that we should treat other how we would like to be treated? Surely the answer to this question is Yes, therefore why have these disgusting people not been punished?

We are all intitled to our own opinions, do you agree with the courts decision?

The way i understood it Rachel, was that their whole family was given new identity.
Don't know if that is the correct story or not and it's been quite a while too since i heard it, so..

if it's the whole family i can undestand. These boys may have brothers and sisters as well and you can't blame them. And i thought they were put into some children's home too.
Again, don't know the exact story.

From the little boy's mother' point of view, no sentence probably is long enough and you might as well kill them then.
What good is it to keep people till they die in prison?
I think 7 yrs is very short though.

I completely agree if the whole family have been given a new identity, the family do not deserve to be punished for the boys actions, however, I still do not think the boys themselves have been given the correct sentance, a life for a life, even if it is just in prison.

Set sensible goals when trying to lose weight. Provided you can efficiently get to tiny targets frequently, it is going to improve your self confidence. Modest targets are definitely more doable and much less intimidating. You will probably maintain weight away when you get rid of it gradually, so you will probably stick with a brand new exercise plan unless you go crazy. [url=http://www.ss12w12ws.info]Matrimo5656[/url]
