Rumours have it they are coming to Australia... as a parent I wonder why they have anonymity ? Why would our government allow these two men into this country when it turns away innocent families looking for a safe haven?
They should be exposed and the public made aware of who and where they are.....who should we petition for this to occur?
anyone else concerned about this please speak out!

I don't know about the Australia thing. I hadn't heard that, although, as Eden says, it makes no sense that they would both be going there. I also thought they weren't allowed to leave the country as a condition of their release.
The exposure thing - well, there are plenty of people out there who would love to find them, and do pretty unspeakable things to them, and understandably so. What they did to that toddler was despicable, regardless of their ages at the time. However, there is a strict media blackout on giving information on either of them, even if the media were to find out somehow. Rumours about their new identities have been rife ever since they were released. Some poor guy had to fight to clear his name when someone decided he was one of them.
I also heard that Denise, James' mother, had a tip off from someone about where one of them was, and she actually went to find him. She said that she actually saw him, and was so paralyzed by hatred and shock that she couldn't say anything or confront him. I don't know if this is true. I remember reading about it a while back.
These men will always be looking over their shoulders everywhere they go. I just worry about innocent people being wrongly identified and targeted. There is no way their faces or identities could be made public, however much the public would like to know. It would be essentially condoning vigilante justice, which the government and media could not be seen to do.
One day, I should imagine they will be found, and then perhaps they will get what has been coming to them for a long time.
To the person who hadn't heard of them - look up James Bulger, and you'll have a pretty upsetting read.

Venables And Thompson Now

These days, Thompson is a free man, living under an assumed identity in north England. He’s also something else: a dad. Reports have leaked out that Thompson has a child with his ex-girlfriend, and that he sees his offspring on a regular basis. That’s more than Denise Bulger, James’ mother, will ever get to do again.
I don't think there's much chance both of these men would go to the same country. A condition of their early release was that they were not to remain in contact with one another. Not much help to you I agree, but I assume they are both so well protected by the law that they could live anywhere and we would never know.
I wouldn't like my daughter to become involved with either one of them and not have the right to know something of their past

I don't know about if they are being allowed to go to Australia but if so its a disgrace.
I have a friend whose parents divorced when he was 11 and his Dad married an Australian woman and moved over there and he said in England with his Mum, his Mum died of cancer when he was about 18 and he had no other family so applied to move to Australia to be with his Dad, he's 27 and still cant get in and he's got no criminal record or anything bad so if those 2 have got in its a disgrace.
With regards to where they are now, a few years ago I knew a girl who had 1 of them near live near her in Surrey, but once everyone realised who he was he was moved somewhere else in the country,so I've no idea now.
This story is quite near to me and took me years to get over because I was with a guy whose birthday it was that day and he had reletavives we were visting near where it happened, according to the timing and our calculations we think it is most likely we were on the train that went over Jamie Bulger so it messed with my head for years,
I never thought the 2 boys should have ever been released myself.

They should not be allowed to go there. What a farce, if you do a crime you are treated like royalty. I do not know what this society has come to.
