It's a terrible thing to have done to anyone let alone little children.
I saw a television prog a number of years ago now just after the time Myra Hindley passed away (2002) and they interviewed two sets of parents of children that the moors murderers had killed.
One family had come to terms with the death of their child and had in their hearts decided to forgive the killers and try to move on, they had other children and had a happy family life together, but they said that they will always miss their child that was taken from them but they did not want that loss to dominate the whole of their lives and the lives of their other children.
The other family/couple had divorced but came back together for the TV programme but they were filled with hate (Understandable in many ways) they despised each other and apportioned blame on one and other, saying things like you should have kept more of a check on him and if you had this would never have happened. Their lives had been dominated with the thoughts of revenge and hatred towards the Moors Killers, in fact they were consumed with hate.
I honestly believe those parents were more prisoners that the Moors Killers.
The parents who had forgiven and tried to let go and move on were a happy family with a sad history they had to try to come to terms with, as much as you ever could. They were free unlike the other couple.
I know it's OK and easy for me to write this from a distance, but just look at the two end products, what do you think is the best.
