Sat watching this now.

I do not accept the view that those 2 boys were treated unfairly. They murdered that poor little boy and they knew what they were doing and that it was wrong.

They should be rotting in jail. Aibu to say justice not served??

Morning, everyone.

This is a really tough subject, and we've had quite a lot of reports.

We need to hit the pause button so that we can comb over it all; we're going to temporarily suspend the thread now.

Many thanks to all who got in touch Flowers

Evening everyone,
We have had many, many, many reports about this thread, and we have done our best to keep it open. It now seems to be descending into sniping and personal attacks, however, which limits our options rather.
What we're going to do is let it continue for a bit and if it comes back on track we'll be able to leave it. As ever, we're not hugely comfortable when threads like these wander in the realms of speculation, so if we could ask everyone to bear that in mind as well?

Hi Chaos,
Yes, ta, we did see it and we have made SEVERAL deletions and suspended posting. We have directed the posters over here, in fact, in the hopes that things will calm down.
We do understand why parents in particular wish to discuss this case; it's horrific and upsetting for everyone, but we would very much prefer it if people would stick to the facts of the case and steer clear of lurid speculation as to what form they might prefer the punishment to have taken.
Thanks again to all who are reporting this and the other thread.
