Father’s day thoughts

As I am the first to rise everyday in this house there is absolutely zero chance that I will be having breakfast in bed this or any other fathers day, That is however of just about no consequence to me because I am fairly sure that I am doing the right thing by my children and that I am providing them with a foundation of good moral behaviour that will enable them to become valued members of the communality and of Australian society in general.

No matter how much I want to pat myself on the back for my parenting experience I can’t help keep from thinking about   this story of two boys who have been allowed to run riot with an almost complete lack of any parenteral control. Their thuggery was allowed to continue until they badly hurt two younger boys, one so badly that he nearly died. Yet they will receive no significant punishment and will be granted life long anonymity.

Cock of the wall: Despite their tender age, the brothers were feared. They are likely to be free at 18 and given lifelong anonymity

The sadistic young brothers who tortured two boys almost to death will enjoy lifelong anonymity.

The pair are likely to be freed from custody within six years, before they reach the age of 18.

Then, say lawyers, they are likely to be granted the same freedom from identification given to the two boys responsible for the 1993 killing of two-year-old James Bulger.

The brothers, aged ten and 11 at the time of the attack, are housed in separate secure units where every comfort is provided for them – costing taxpayers more than £420,000 a year.

As part of their rehabilitation they are offered a range of activities including dance classes, cooking lessons and computer games.

The mother of one of their victims, from Edlington, near Doncaster, said she was disgusted that her taxes would be used to give ‘these nasty boys the best education’.

The brothers will be sentenced in six weeks for the offences they have admitted – attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, inciting sexual acts, and robbery.

As in the cases of the Bulger killers Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, and of the 1960s child killer Mary Bell, lawyers will ask for a ruling that the names of the brothers should never be made public.

While dewy eyed lefties may get terribly upset about the fate of day old cocks they seem to be just as ridiculous when it comes to the punishment of horrible boys who obviously have no remorse.

Officials had hoped that the brothers’ violent behaviour would improve when they were separated from each other.

But the pair have been instigating fights with other inmates and bullying them, a source told the Mail last night.

Their attacks prompted staff at each centre to remove the boys’ privileges, including the use of a television and computer games, as punishment.

‘They haven’t changed a bit,’ a source told the Mail. ‘They’re not humble or remorseful – they just see this as an opportunity to be bullies all over again, but with the luxury of nice meals and new TVs.’

Although huge amounts of money are poured into their rehabilitation, more than 78 per cent of children released from custody reoffend within 12 months.

Like a lot of young thugs these two seem to have learned that they can get away with just about anything, they obviously know the system and how to work it to their advantage,  but more importantly they know that having no moral compass apart from self gratification works for them and the lily livered lefties have jumped to their defence because they are “children”.

British law allows for “children” to be sentenced to substantial periods of imprisonment when they have committed horrible crimes  but the judiciary seem to be unreasonably squeamish about actually doing so.  Sadly like the father of these boys , those  judges are failing society.

What are the chances that these boys will ever be “re-habilitated” when they have not in fact ever been “habilitated”  in the first place.

I can’t help thinking that these two boys are likely to be life long offenders but it saddens me greatly that they will have to hurt someone else before they will receive the sort of punishment that they so clearly deserve.

Now I just have to go and hug my kids….

Cheers Comrades
