I am in no way excusing the dreadful actions of these individuals, but they themselves have grown up within the lowest levels of society, and it could be argued are the consequences (I daren't use the word 'victims') of the hugely unequal society that exists today. They probably have never been properly taught the difference between right or wrong, or good or evil, their minds were probably addled with drink or drugs, and the social expectations within this underclass (with which few of us have any real knowledge, familiarity or understanding) are entirely different to the rest of us.
I am not in favour of capital punishment. In our western societies we have the money and knowledge to improve opportunities and education, and improve the standard of living for the underclasses - we just choose not to do this, and use our prosperity in different ways (military spending, shoring up our financial insitutions, etc). They should serve their jail terms - I'm sure it will not be a pleasant experience for them. I don't believe they will be given new identities in another country. I hope efforts are made to educate and rehabilitate them, and make them aware of the evil nature of their actions, although I fear our prison service in the UK doesn't place this as a high priority.
Oh
please! Don't give me the old 'don't know the difference between right and wrong' argument!
Hang them.
I'm guessing you're a Daily Mail reader.
I'd imagine you have no idea of social underclass, drug-fuelled societies, common practice of child abuse. To deny it exists is irresponsible in my view, perpetuates the problem, and therefore contributes to the next Baby P-like death. Will a few hangings cure societies ills, of which this one tragic death is but a single symptom? I think not.
This poor baby died as the result of prolonged abuse. Which was worse, the first time the baby was slammed against the wall, or kicked or whatever, or the one that finally killed? It has been acknowledged the social services system was at fault, the signs of abuse were there and the baby should have been taken into care. They were allowed to behave in this barbaric manner too long, hence the death. They progressed from being abusers to murderers. This could, and should, have been prevented.
