Looks like it's true, just about 4 years old. There's an analysis of the email towards the bottom of the page. Seems so unfair, I'll have to agree. I can just picture something like that happening to my son, and it about makes me cry.

Thanks SixFive

My sister-n-law sent it to me and has her name and city on the list.

I would do all in my power to hunt them down and, well....

 

[vyrus858]

that is screwed up...the British rather "secure the safety of the two murderers" rather then two let the public know when Child killers, not MOLESTORS, but KILLERS are living next door to them...wow

And they didn't just change their names...they worked very hard to create new identities for them and shield them.

As Billy Bragg once said "This isn't a court of justice son, this is a court of law". Ah, England, protect those killers with every resource you have....

Relatives are main threat to strategy built on secrecy
By Richard Ford, Home Correspondent





WITHIN the next few days the planning that has gone into handling the release of the killers of James Bulger will be put to the test.

Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, both 18, will walk out of two separate institutional buildings in the north of England and each will get into a car. They will then be taken to a halfway house, and effectively disappear.

According to a plan prepared by officials in the Dangerous Offenders Unit at the Home Office, Thompson and Venables will no longer exist.

For several months, maybe even years, they have been living with the new identity crafted by officials. In addition to the new identity both men have been given freshly researched and detailed family histories, which they have learnt.

They have new names, passports, and NHS and National Insurance documents. Venables and Thompson will cease to exist to all but a handful of police officers, probation staff, senior Whitehall officials and their lawyers.

Last night it was unclear whether the youths? immediate families are part of the new identity. Ann Thompson and Neil and Susan Venables have moved away from Merseyside but one probation source said that families were often the weakest link in leading to a new identity being exposed.

The source said: ?The new identity will have been in place for some time along with the need for confidentiality involving the authorities. The pressure to breach it in this case is enormous and families are the weak link.

?Could you really allow very many family members to know the new identity? It is a high risk. Yet it would also be difficult to give all the immediate family new identities and histories.?

The probation source said that it could be easier for both youths to be cut off from their families. ?There are lots of single men living alone so they would not attract attention. The families might agree to it as the best chance of the youths being able to reintegrate.?

Thompson and Venables, who have never met since the trial and do not know each other?s new identity, will move to separate semi-secure halfway houses. Each house will have locked entrances.

Care staff will be in the residences ? which are specifically not on housing estates ? at all times and any conditions can be imposed on the youths. Conditions could include forbidding them to leave unaccompanied, requiring them to abide by a curfew and making them attend education or training courses. Plans have been made for them to undergo further education or training to help them to find a job that would enable them to live independently. On the basis of their GCSE results, both Thompson and Venables could have been candidates for a university education.

Both men will continue to be under intensive supervision including counselling and help with managing the transition to the outside world.

Moving them to more independent accommodation will depend on how they settle down and, perhaps even more importantly, an assessment of the threat to their security. Many people live in halfway houses or hostels for between two and two and a half years but sources said that they could remain in this type of accommodation for longer.

A senior probation officer will be in charge of each of them providing supervision on a daily basis for several years. They will also have regular appointments with psychologists and psychiatrists monitoring their progress for many years. The probation source said that a senior officer ?will help deliver the care plan, which will involve education and training?.

The intensity of the supervision will be relaxed only after consultation and agreement involving the Probation Service, senior Home Office civil servants, the Home Secretary and maybe even Mr Justice Morland, the trial judge.

The source added: ?Reduction to light touch supervision of say once every three weeks is several years away. Daily supervision is likely to last for years. It could be for four or five years.?

But the aim is to normalise Thompson and Venables so that they make friends and build relationships. Therein lies a huge psychological burden. Having spent years being encouraged to talk about the offence, they must now learn never to talk about it.

James McGuire, a clinical psychologist at Liverpool University said: ?It is a massive burden but I assume that the reports to the Parole Board have shown it is something both youths feel capable of handling.?

They will be able to unburden themselves to their psychiatrists and probation officers but care experts said that the chances of the two men remaining unidentified for long was slim.

One chief probabtion officer said: ?They do not stand a chance. I feel really sorry for them. I am very, very pessimistic and think the arrangements will break down because they are being hunted. They are the fox in a hunt. It is as simple as that.?

BULGER KILLERS GO ON HOLS
2001-06-23 03:28:11
Earlier this week it emerged that ?1.5million (US$2.87 million) has been spent creating new
identities for the boys. Both teenagers and their families have been given
new names, birth certificates, passports and National Insurance numbers.
They will also get fully-fitted ?65,000 (US$124,000) homes with the ?270 (US$516) -a-week rent
paid. On top of that they are in line for free cars, credit cards, police
protection and cash handouts for the rest of their lives - all paid for by
taxpayers.

I read this story years ago. Most brutal and horrifying thing I have read and will ever read in my life. Makes me sick to my stomach. I wondered for months what would bring 2 10 yr olds to do such a thing. I will probably wonder for another couple months now. Thats how long it will take to get out of my head. VERY disturbing to read. :shrug:
