On this week we had the guest teacher Tim Gully with the topic “Angels and demons” (young criminals). Before this class we had to read one article about a crime did by two ten year old boys in England “James Bulger murder and his killers Thompson and Venables”.
This article made me think a lot about how two young boys can kill another child; why they made it, only because they watched a film?, what was wrong to get to do such a thing? What about the family of the killed child and how was the situation after this crime with the other children?, what about the influence of the newspapers, TV news? etc.
And the question is: how to work with them in a good way? I think that punish them is not the solution, it’s only remove them away from the society but the problem is still there event that we are not seeing it. I know other cases but this was so surprising to me because of the age of the boys and also that they didn’t had to treat them as adults.
We talked about the situation of the young criminals and we could know the situation in other countries and to different opinions from the people. Really it was so interesting but it was difficult also to understand all.
