that gives cover to all of the Armed Forces in Scotland. Not bragging
life and I am now a business graduate with two homes in Edinburgh and manage a insurance firm in Scotland
but you can do anything with the right attitude and support from your parents. I agree with the posts that the kids have to an extent been let down by their parents but at 11 years old I was playing with lego and fishing myself, I never attacked other kids for their money or slashed them with a knife.

This case has reminded me also of little James Bulger,and the harrowing attack on him!
Those little b*st*rds new exactly what they were doing to that poor little boy,just as the little b*st*rds in this more recent case knew what they were doing also!
Sorry for the bad language,but i absolutely abhor any violence toward children,no matter what the age of the perpetrators!!

I am glad this sub discussion about breeding and parenting has developed as myself and my partner are in a situation where we have great jobs however do not have the time at present with our careers and social life to have kids, also we want to make sure we have enough savings so that she can give up work for at least 2 years to raise our first child. The people I have been talking about just have kids, dont care about the consequences and then let them run amock and do not give them the start in life we all deserve. I think we should bring in a system in the UK, like the chinese have, where the number of childern is limited to your own situation, such as thoses on low income or high debt are limited to one child until they are in a better situation. I know it would never be able to be policed but in an ideal world I think it would work, this would stop the baby factories pumping them out for benefits.

You are joking, are'nt you?
Who exactly was being cruel to whom?
They broke the law big time,and will probably have left their victims emotionally,as well as physically,scarred for life!
But that is okay,as long as we are not "cruel" to them.Eh?

This is Britain. There is no death penalty here.
Instead,if convicted, they will probably serve around a ten year custodial sentence,then be released,still in the prime of their lives!
Who knows,if the crime is serious enough,they may also be rewarded with new identities,new homes and jobs etc. (such as was the case with james Bulger's murderers)!
Justice.Don't you just love it!

Yeah.I do feel that some crimes ,here in Britain, should be met with the death penalty, but that is a whole other can of worms!
