I can imagine 8yrs in prison is a long time for 10yr old boys though and privacy is protected for the good of good people, not them. Do you think the courts want to have to punish good people who act criminally against these terrible people in a 'moral' way? Its better for everyone if we don't have to hear of them or see good people sent to prison because of them.
I'd rather not have young killers like mary bell and thomson and venebles on the streets but to be quite frank I'd rather not have to hear of sexually active ten yr olds on the street either, who although may have had a rubbish upbringing, should still realise that every other ten yr old she would've attended school with wont be having sex with grown men.
10 yr olds are capable of knowing right from wrong no matter what they're upbringing, and she should know perfectly well she shouldn't be having sex with anyone, especially not grown men.
I have sympathy for the girl don't get me wrong but I will not be fooled into believing a ten yr old has no common sense. Mary Bell herself is a clear example that ten yr old girls are very very capable of forming decisions and knowing all too well that they shouldn't be doing it.
