Recounts the chilling murder of three-year-old James Bulger, who was kidnapped and brutally killed by ten-year-old school truants Bobby Thompson and Jon Venables, in a case that considers why children kill children...

At a shopping mall, Bobby Thompson and Jon Venables, both 10, were seen dragging James Bulger, 3, through the streets, telling passersby that he was their brother. They tortured and killed him, then hung out at a video store in their blood-stained clothes. This book delves into court transcripts and probes the psyche of the two young murderers.  Includes pages of photos.
