Subject: An interesting interview about Jon Venables being returned to prison & the problem of "Pure Evil" that exists or doesn't exist.
"Jon Venables return to prison is a setback for the cause of prison reform and rehabilitation"
"James Bulger's mother says killer 'where he belongs' "
I believe that your interviewee gave some excellent and well considered answers about this problem by referring to abuse and its consequences in children and adults including on the international stage.
The system has failed to deal with these extreme crimes in such a manner that they can be prevented. [Jon Venables and Robert Thompson when aged 10 killed James Bulger one month short of 3-years-old in 1993. Both were released from prison in 2001. Jon Venables has been returned to prison for an undisclosed reason.]
We can go back to the Mary Flora Bell case where she killed two younger children when she was only 11-years-old in 1968 to see the continuing failures to deal properly with children in this society since this extreme tragedy was repeated in 1993 by Venables and Thompson.
It was not until Gita Sereny's book "Cries Unheard" came out in 1998 that the public got a glimpse of the horror to which Mary Flora Bell had been subjected as a child by her prostitute mother.
The other child with her was provided psychiatric help up to and during the trial and has dropped out of everyone's consciousness but not so for Mary Flora Bell who received no help and a conviction at the hands of the justice system.
The UK just has not done anything for children and has failed to recognise that, as Gita Sereny states, children are innocent and created as monsters by their experiences.
The whole problem of child protection and the treatment of children by the courts is horrendous when it comes to these extreme crimes that one can only assume the courts and government are failing over and over all along.
Mary Flora Bell was saved by one person in the youth offender's institution where she served some of her prison time. Apparently, this has failed Jon Venables.
All I have to do is reflect upon my 11.5 years of surveillance technology abuse 24/7/365 by those whom I reported for child abuse to realise what these people do to children creating violent children and adults by their abuse.
They are making every effort to be as provocative as possible against me to create violent reactions. When that does not occur, the make it up. They want to pick fights and attack to destroy. In this case they have been using surveillance technology against me for this purpose now 11.5 years 24/7/365 being allowed to do so by this government as it continues unabated at this writing.
This is why I see this pilot project for releasing information about child abusers to parents as a source of information as something that will be abused. Child abusers themselves with whom I've had direct experience are trying to hide their abuse and will make up whatever they want including getting information from the police against someone like me who reports these problems.
They seek to get rid of anyone who reports child abuse and any other antisocial behaviour so that they are free to carry on with violent abuse, criminal and antisocial behaviour.
So much work as been done in this area by the likes of Erich Fromm and Alice Miller with specific regard to Hitler and the horrendous problems which occurred in Germany leading to WWII, but this has been studiously ignored in the UK.
This is the key problem in the UK today as it has been for decades. The BBC could do a significant job of addressing this problem but has failed to do so. When are you going to start?
