‘Two 12-year-old murderers should be named’ says policing minister – full interview on @SunElection
as any any parent would would agree the idea of a 12-year-old carrying a knife on the streets is absolutely horrifying there’s a couple of things I want to drill into here um they’ve been convicted we’re going to get their sentencing soon do you think they should be named these boys there’s a huge public interest in this case yes so obviously that’s conventionally uh people under 18 convicted don’t get publicly named because they’re they’re children um it’s up to the judge to decide uh whether or not they should be um I think in exceptional cases and you know this is obviously an exceptional case I think the public interest uh May well be served by by doing that just to understand a bit more about the background to this and to learn lessons how it can be prevented in the future so it is ultimately a question for the judge but I think there is an exceptional public interest in this case yes than you
‘Two 12-year-old murderers should be named to stop another killing like this,’ warns a policing minister.

I'm inspired by the courage displayed in sharing vulnerabilities and uncertainties.🐱
The thirst for knowledge exhibited here is contagious, sparking curiosity in every participant.💞
Engaging with such a knowledgeable group of individuals is a privilege I don't take for granted. There's so much to learn from each other.🍓
Why must they be named🥺
WHATEVER THEY HAVE DONE
THEY REALLY ARE JUST TWELVE YEARS OLD😔
Just because the public are interested doesn't mean there is a public interest.
100
Per cent
Need to be named
I remember the people in Liverpool defending and protesting to release Jamie Bulgers killers. 🤬
The only problem with naming them is you then get idiots who get hold of the families address, send them death threats, stand outside their home and make life horrible and unfair for other siblings, parents and relatives. In this day and age their names should not be released as the public can be volatile and some people are unhinged.
