Whats the story Andy?

I got this email last week- it explains what happened- PLEASE DON'T READ IT IF YOU'RE EASILY UPSET because it is very disturbing:
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. 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!
Please.... . If you feel as strongly as we do, ( and if you haven't
already signed this petition ) that this is a grave Miscarriage of
justice - Hit the forward button and add your name at the
end, and send it to everyone you can !
If you are the 700th person to sign, please forward this e-mail to:
cust.ser.cs@gtnet.gov.uk and mark it for the attention Lady Justice Butler-Sloss.
Then continue on until it hits 1400, before you email her the list
again. There is power in numbers & these petitions do help. Maybe it'll
prevent another child from a violent death & maybe it'll get greater, more appropriate convictions for these criminals....whatever their age.
Thank you.

Ah yes didn't recognise the story from the picture alone.
A horrible story and one that still cuts to the bone for most people.
I still can't believe they got so lightly.
Thanks Doc.
