Publisher Description

James Bulger was just a few weeks shy of his third birthday when, on 12 February 1993, he wandered away from his mum Denise in a shopping mall in Bootle. Grainy images from a security camera showed him trustingly holding the hand of ten-year-old Jon Venables as they walked away. Venables and his friend Robert Thompson murdered James, in a crime that shocked the world.

In this haunting book, James' father Ralph describes how his world fell apart in the days that followed. In his darkest hours he drank to numb the pain, and the stress tore his marriage apart. He tells how he learned to cope with his grief, but the sorrow of James' death has never left him.

I am really sad and feel sorry for everyone who knew James personally. He seems like a very kind person and i hope the killers feel ashamed of themselves thoroughly. This story was worldwide and I give my condolences to James’s family. May you Rest In Peace, James Bulger. 😭
