The parents of murdered toddler James Bulger expressed outrage tonight that one of his killers is to be freed again.
Denise Fergus and Ralph Bulger said they were ‘filled with terror’ by the decision to grant parole to Jon Venables, 30.
The child killer, who was controversially released from his life sentence in 2001 with a new taxpayer-funded identity, was sent back to jail three years ago after being caught with depraved images of children as young as two on his computer.
He admitted downloading and distributing the images, which included some of toddlers being raped, as well as posing online as a mother willing to sell her young daughter for sex.
Venables and classmate Robert Thompson were ten when they abducted the two-year-old from a shopping centre in Bootle, Merseyside, in February 1993, and tortured and murdered him.
They were given life sentences for the crime, but released on licence in 2001 with new identities, to a huge public outcry.
The terms of Venables’s parole banned him from entering Merseyside, but it emerged that he had flouted the terms by attending soccer matches and nightclubs in Liverpool.
He was also arrested over a drunken brawl and for cocaine offences, but the then Justice Secretary Jack Straw allowed him to remain at large.
Following his arrest for child porn offences, it was revealed that Venables had fallen into a spiral of drink and drug addiction because he struggled with the psychological pressure of living with a new identity.

death penalty.... rigorously enforced would work
Back when that was a civilized country, someone would have already put a Webley up to this devil’s head.
I remember pictures of moms and grandmoms threatening the bus these two were riding in back in the day. They should have let them teach these sub humans a lesson.
So disturbing when a child is a murderer. What to do with them? I remember this case well. There have been others in England...young girls that murder, too, and, of course here in the States we have had cases like this. If I had my way, now that he’s an adult, I would put him to death, but, at the very least, he should never be let out of prison.

WHY ISN’T THIS PIECE OF CRAP DEAD!!
Weirdness (( ping )).
People who depend on “the system” for justice are fools.
If the parents in this case want justice, they need to take care of it themselves.
Ah, the internet is such a blast!
And think back to what it was when little Jonny was busted:
