The Outcome of social reaction on the deviants further action
Social
Services were concerned, their behaviour was noticed at school, the mother did not do anything – due to her mental trauma from domestic abuse.
Mr
Justice Keith called their
behaviour
"appalling and terrible" and said their detention must last a minimum of five years.
"The fact is, this was prolonged, sadistic violence for no reason other than that you got a real kick out of hurting and humiliating them," said the judge. "The bottom line for the two of you is that I'm sure you both pose a very high risk of serious harm to others."
The boys have been kept in prison
indefinitely, as a result of their
behaviour
and have now been labelled as dangerous to society. Which may have worsened their
behaviour
