THE MURDER OF JAMIE BULGER .

Robyn Cotterill-Jones. VOCAL

Who can forget the murder of the little 3 year old in England by two ten year old boys?    We believe they have been released and granted new lives, in Australia, or perhaps another country.  And the saddest thing of all about the Jamie Bulger story is that it is not finished yet.  Not by a long shot..

And what does Jamie Bulger have to do with Family Law?
Everything!!

Because the terribly sad thing is that two young men, so horrifically sadistic as boys, will be entitled to form relationships and have children.  Their chosen partners/wives will not be entitled to know anything of their past, unless they disclose voluntarily to them. And if a child is born and abuse occurs, the Family Court will have no power to consider or even care about their past history, the “benefit of meaningful contact” being the over riding and all powerful principle and the mother, if fearful because of abuse inflicted on her and/or the child, will be seen as alienating and malicious if she dares raise such damaging past history. 
 
There is no mechanism in place to allow a person the right to know about the background of someone they meet.  And so, the psychopaths in our midst can continue to abuse without their past behavior being known and following them. 

I wonder what sort of fathers these two boys might make - given their past behavior which is the best predictor for future behavior.  I'd be skeptical about what 'love' might mean to these men.  But I can guarantee that there are a zillion women who will be drawn, without ever knowing the truth of what they have done, using their 'poor little me', (I was placed in a boys home because my parents didn't want me, and it was tough / I was abused), and their charm, and the women will fall for them, the wounded man, and hope to help them heal - and in doing so, set themselves up for abuse.
  
In fact, in these boy's cases they could murder again, and a jury would not be entitled to know their past history of offending prior to the new crime. 

Imagine such a psychopath in the Family Court. 

Imagine if Jon, or Robert appeared at a father's group claiming to have been falsely accused. How could you find the real truth?

Do you think a polygraph would 'catch’ them?

It is the continuation of ‘allowing’ violent men freedom to abuse further. It is the anonymity of any past crimes, the ‘right’ to father children then have easy contact with them, the lack of checks and restrictions that prevent the women's movement from being able to also support dealing the many problems of violence and false accusation affecting men. 

I see case after case of charming psychopaths who work their particular magic on all types of experts  and ordinary people, and it makes me sick.

The “father’s rights” groups claim they are against abuse, but I don’t know how, unless they can truly admit that many men use abusive dominance and all sorts of controls 'to win'.
 I don’t know how, when none seem to be paying more than quick lip service to any ideas that might filter out abusive men from their groups and from the plethora who say they have been falsely accused of violence, regardless of the medical and incidental evidence, but not, unfortunately ‘substantiated’.

 However I see the consistency of ‘tactic’ used by many who claim to have support from men’s rights groups, to win the children, the child support, the property from the abused spouse who finally dared to leave them.

And I see them ‘play’ the willing experts so easily

I support good dads 100%.  

You can tell them, they are the ones who want to be dads, support their wives, aren't amongst the 40% who first use violence in pregnancy, and want to learn about parenting, even the yukky, tedious stuff, who are respectful, who do their share of home-work, and kids homework, who support each member of their family, who don’t abuse drugs, sex, the family finances, who encourage independence in thought and action from their families.  They also mean, and live by their vows to ‘love and cherish until death (not ‘at my hand’  or ‘because of my behavior’) do us part’. They will worry about children, and parents, and not direct themselves to  ‘men and boys’.

But you won’t meet many of these men in “men’s rights” groups because they'd still be in their relationships.  The majority are ones crying ‘She done me wrong!’ no matter what they did.

If they marry or partner and find themselves cheating, drug taking or abusing, they get help, and then be the best dad they can be, putting the children's well-being as more important than their own hurt, pain and anger.  And they understand the devastating impact of child sexual abuse on children and would NEVER hurt a child. Any child. Ever.  In any way, including coercing a child to deny the other parent.

If the relationship does fail, then he does not use contact as a method of terrorizing his ex wife through the children, regardless of how hard reaching settlement regarding this may have been.

The other terribly sad thing about this is
that by the time you read this, tens of thousands of people will have put their name to this email and forwarded it on.

I doubt any gave a thought to the disaster that could be lying in wait – and how many will sign a petition to keep Jon and Robert under surveillance when they, as will inevitably happen, father children of their own?

 Who is looking after the children?

  

Do you remember February 1993 in England , when a young boy of 3  Was taken from a Liverpool shopping centre by two 10-year-old boys?  Jamie Bulger walked away from his mother for only a second, Jon Venables
 Took his hand and led him out of the mall with his friend Robert Thompson.  They took Jamie on a walk for over 2 and a half miles, along the way  Stopping every now and again to torture the poor little boy who was crying constantly for his mummy.

 Finally they stopped at a railway track where they brutally kicked him,  Threw stones at him, rubbed paint in his eyes, pushed batteries up his  Anus and cut his fingers off with scissors Other mutilations were  Inflicted but not reported in the press.
 
 N.B. :- Remember, a 3year old cannot possibly defend themselves against a  10 year old, let alone of 2 them.
 
 What these two boys did was so horrendous that Jamie's mother was  forbidden to identify his body. They then left his beaten small body on railway tracks so a train could  run him over to hide the mess they had created. These two boys, even being  boys, understood what they did was wrong, hence trying to make it look  like an accident.
 
 This week Lady Justice Butler-Sloss has awarded the two boys ( now men ),  anonymity for the rest of their lives when they leave custody with new  identities. They will also leave custody early only serving just over  half of their sentence. They are being relocated to Australia to live out the rest of their lives.  They disgustingly and violently took Jamie's life away and in return they  each get a new life!
