well i think we all know that the justice system is pants. the government needs to stop worrying about over crowed prison systems, and show more effort in preventing these crimes happening.
as said, 5years is dispicable. that poor boy didnt have a chance in life. and they will be out in like 3yrs, its stomach churning.
what did the soldiers fight for? for Rape, for abuse, for gbh, for murder.
they will be rolling in there graves if they see what the country is now turning into.
there are so many kids in care in the uk, and why do people adopt from abroad? because it is too hard for people to adopt here. which in the one case, i can see that this is the case to protect children. but it seems less people are adopting in this country now (there was mention about this in the paper recently.)
if the prisons are over crowded: build some more. not rocket science, give harsher sentances, which may prevent people from commiting crimes, and they wouldnt have the problem.
Grrrr rant over
