Although his sentence is only 30 months in detention.... is this life sentence justified in the light of his age? Is he likely to change his behaviour as he matures? The boys that killed Jamie Bulger now have their indentities hidden.... and they were of similar ages....
Just wondering......

Having never read any studies on sex criminals (and yes, I do realise rape has nothing to do with sex), I do believe that at 11 the guy SHOULD know what is right and what is wrong. I personally believe he should be treated the same way as any rapist.
However, I don't believe his ID should have been revealed.
