- Should the 12 year old boys who committed murder with a machete should be named?
The two boys killed 19-year-old Shawn Seesahai in a machete attack last November - the court was told Shawn was 'utterly defenceless' and had 'done nothing to offend the two boys'.
The killers haven't been named for legal reasons - children in the court system in England generally cannot be identified if they are under 18.
But there are some cases in which they are.
James Bulger's killers - Jon Venables and Robert Thompson are the most infamous example - they were just 10 when they murdered 2-year-old James.
More recently, Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe - who were both 16 when they murdered Brianna Ghey - were also named for their brutal attack.
So should the same thing happen in this case?

Name them as a deterrant for other vile kids.
Name them and the parents should be held accountable as they are failures
I don't want to live in a society where the sins of the offspring are visited upon their parents, thank you very much.
@davidparry5310 parents are legally responsible for their children and therefore I believe they should carry some responsibility for their child's actions because they fundamentally failed to bring them up correctly
@@ianstanley2607 Except it isn't as simple as that. There's so much more that contributes to the social environment in which a child is raised besides upbringing, to say nothing of the way in which genetics influences how that environment affects the child's development and all the rest of it.
Yes name them ..
I think it would be better to wait and name them when they are 18 because if they get named now they just change their names anyway. The only advantage of revealing the names will be to find out about the circumstances that led up to the crime - what did the social services know about them, what did the school know about them, what did the police know about them, neighbours, community etc. Maybe there has been negligence on the part of all these authorities!
As children we ALL had access to objects capable of harming someone (such as kitchen knives, hammers, axes or a damn bat could do damage) but clearly we didn’t, otherwise incidents like this would happen every day.
The planet isn’t full on 12yr old killers for a reason….
….So can we please stop focusing on HOW this child got a machete and instead focus on WHY they felt comfortable enough to use it on someone.
For some context re access to potentially dangerous objects, I was born in 1988 and I grew up around gamekeepers and farmers.
Hunting rifles and shotguns were common in households near me and often accessible….i just didn’t use them to hurt someone.
This child is clearly not normal.
Yes and there parents who nurtured them to becoming such youth idols and model members of society.
