At what point do you just keep someone in prison permanently ? He’s murdered a toddler then continued to access child abuse imagery. He’s a lost cause. Stick him in seg and forget about him.
Ngl, find the different lives of Venables and Thompson fascinating. One went on to live a relatively normal life, the other…
Can’t help but feel that if you’ve had 3 Nonce offences it’s time to just stop releasing them
Him and the other cunt need to rot in jail forever. Never should they be allowed out into the free air.

This poor woman, I can’t bear to think about what they did. I can’t even imagine what it’s like for her. And then having to deal with the fact he could get out and be a further threat to someone else’s child. Absolutely horrendous!
Obviously being in prison at a young age will ruin most people but they are obviously at this point just lost causes.
This is going back years and years but I worked out on the Western Isles and it was long established one of the pair had been shipped out there, got pished in a pub and told everyone who he was.
Obviously I wasn’t there so can’t say for certain so it might all have been made up but if that is what we’re dealing with then what more can you do?
I feel so much for her. And she is right. He is a lost cause
Venables was braging about what he did in a local pub near me last time he was allowed out, apparently “getting off” on telling the story. He has no remorse and should be inside untill his death, hopefully when he dies it is not reported. He doesn’t deserve a second thought from anyone.
He is of no value to humankind, judging what he’s been up to since his first release

Still have difficulty processing what they did to that poor boy.
This was the first murder I remember sticking with me as a child. I was so enraged, confused, and sad. I remember trying to look up updates in my elementary school computer lab. Keep this man locked the fuck up.
Heartbreaking for this woman having to go through this again, opening up wounds that surely will never heal anyway. Venables keeps throwing away every chance he gets by being a deplorable nonce, he’s clearly not got a chance of rehabilitation with his repeated offences. Throw him in jail with a new identity and leave him there.
Below is a good article that shows how things could have been dealt with differently, and with a much, much better outcome.
If only people made the difference between justice and revenge.
Thompson seems to have proved the point that rehabilitation can work.
Venables on the other hand, continues to demonstrate that it doesn’t work for everyone – and some people are simply evil.
How crushing to have to go public every few years to advocate against your son’s murderer… not to mention living with your grief every single day. That poor family, they can’t even grieve in peace
He’s being released again? Wtf does he have to do to get life in prison? So far he’s brutally murdered a child, and got caught accessing kiddy porn and got fuck all sentence for both.
I remember reading about this as a young lad and it scared me, made me terrified of groups of older boys for ages.
The brutality of the crimes commited against James were so barbaric it was in comparison to what the vikings would do, i think he should not be allowed back out at all, I dont care if tax payer money feeds him for life, he does not deserve freedom.
Poor James was given a life sentence, this disgusting piece of filth deserves a life sentence.
He is not reformed or rehabilitated in any sense, no freedom or riot.
So, fun story, and I’ll try to stay relatively unbiased with this: when I first got my own place around 2006/2007, I lived across the road from Venables. It was less than a month before everyone in the area knew who he was and a mob kicked his front door down.
Even *if* he wasn’t irredeemable, chances of him ever living anything resembling a normal life are virtually zero. Even before all the other stuff came out, people weren’t going to forgive or forget. He’s safer in prison.
Those 2 absolute pieces of crap never even got much of a sentence not like james bulgers mum who is living her own sentence every day proberly thinking what her son might of been doing now so definitely no bloody sympathy from me to either of those 2 monsters
When this happened my nephew was the same age as James Bulger. I was horrified at what happened to that poor baby and so scared for my little nephew, the thought of it all shook me. If I’m not mistaken, I remember, when the reports came out, they said that Jon kept torturing/hitting little James as he and Robert walked him to the tracks. That alone paints a sickening image of little James’s ordeal at the hands of these boys and especially at the hands of Jon. I also think that Jon’s parents should have been held accountable for their despicable parenting that resulted in such a monstrosity of a child.
I’m sorry, the guys a scumbag.
But Truss halting this bill that allows the gov’t to step in and stop prisoners being released is one thing she’s doing right.
How anyone can justify that. Its legislation opening the doors to lifelong imprisonment of political opponents.
People will slag off Putin for locking up people he disapproves of, but we’re fine with our gov’t doing it, so long as it aligns with our goals. But what about when your opposition party gets power, and you’ve paved the way for your own group to be persecuted by MPs. Will you agree then?
My pal worked in Hindley remand whilst Thompson was in there, he told me that Thompson saved him from a serious beating after an inmate went ape shit.
Venables was a lost cause though.
As I understand it, the guy’s still a liability.
HIS wellbeing should be secondary to the safety of others, AND to help the parents of the victim to have some semblance of life.
Ex-Probation Officer here. A few misconceptions about Parole Board – the PB do not release rather they make a recommendation to the secretary of state to release. The SoS will then ratify the decision but they themselves have to be satisfied with the PB’s recommendation. The PB can make a number of recommendations: no release, progression to an open prison or release. The PB are given reports by prison, probation, psych and at the hearing will have all parties there and question witnesses (those who submitted reports). A major change is now the probation service are no longer able to make a recommendation themselves. So it really is up to the PB to make the decision. I don’t have a lot if any faith in the PB – the Warboy’s recommended release is a perfect example. I don’t think he’ll be released as I don’t think his risk can be managed in the community.
It’s for his own good at this point, he is constantly giving away his new ID and I think they are fed up of spending money giving him them. Add this with the fact he is in and out of prison for CP and he really REALLY shouldn’t want to be found.
I hope Robert has done a lot of good in his life since that dreadful day, adult treatment towards a 10 year old then, still makes me sick to the core. People would rather Robert do something else just so they can continue to hate and say I told you so.. When you put your kid to bed people, remind your child that love IS conditioned.
