It wasn't an accident, Penny. They weren't just 'behaving as boys'.
They stole a child, with the sole intent of killing him. They *were* going to take a child and push him into busy traffic.

They changed their mind.

They stole her little boy, tortured him, then tied him to a railway track, after smashing his head in. His little body was cut in two.

And you expect this mother to forgive? You expect her to say they were 'just being boys'?


EVERY day of her life, Denise has to live with that horrific scenario.
WE can turn off from it. We can come here, go "Oh my GOD!", then switch the screen to something else and redirect our thoughs...

She cannot.

She *never* will.

So if she feels those boys are evil, I can perfectly understand her emotions, because trust me, if some 10 year olds did that to *my* child, I'd feel *exactly* the same way.
