This is a tragically depressing story , which continues to haunt the families involved .
The father of James Bulger has battled for a long time to change the lifelong anonymity order for one of his sons killers , whilst the mother never supported the legal battle . Speaking last year, she said: "I've always said, I don't want them dead, because I don't want blood on my hands. I don't agree with killing someone.
"All I've ever wanted was justice for James and getting that justice would be them two going from young offenders to a proper prison and spend proper time in there."
You can't blame the father for his stance on this in the slightest , but how brave and level headed is the mother, in the face of having to deal with the ghosts of this atrocity even now .
