Any truth in this?
 
Hi, I've just been sent this in an email and wondering what yous think, any truth in it or is it just one of those chain mails. Must admit when we were over on holiday we did hear this but dismissed it as a load of crap.

Subject: : Jamie Bulger

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!

It's your usual round-robin email ... has surfaced on these forums a few times over the years. Read the whole story here.

1) They stopped sending convicts over to Oz in 1860.
2) Do you really think that the Australian authorities would willingly supply visas to a pair of child murderers?

It's just your usual viral email - mostly a load of bollocks.

Thanks for that Hutch,

I feel a bit daft now for believing it a wee bit :o Common sense told me it was crap but I just had to check.

It's a spam email with no factual basis and has been quoted on this forum on numerous occasions,
