How Would-Be Dad Jon Venables ‘Horrifies Every Parent In Britain’

by | 28th, October 2010

JON Venables wants to be a dad. Well, so says the Star’s Martin Coutts of one of James Bulger’s killers.

TWISTED Jon Venables has stunned prison officers by telling them: “I’m going to start a family.’”

Coutts says this news is “sickening”. It “will horrify every parent in Britain”.

What, even the ones who shag their children; the ones who have served time for rape and murder; the ones who neglect their children? These parents will all be horrified that a child who killed a child wants a life ahead?

A source said: “He just blurted it out to a prison officer last week.

“They were trying to establish how likely he was to try to harm himself and he used it as a pointer of why he wanted to live.”

Jon Venables sees a future for himself. Time, then, for the Star to call James Bulger’s mother, Denise Fergus, the bereft mother of a murdered child who is presented as some kind of voice of reason. Says she:

“Venables should not be allowed to have children. I would not trust him even with a child of his own…

“He’s not right in the head and I think they should look at having him sectioned in a mental hospital rather than being released. My blood runs cold at the thought of him having a child. If any woman did have a baby by him, I would expect social services to order that he must never be allowed to have unsupervised contact with it, for the child’s own safety and protection.”

Venables will not be free when he is eventually released from his sentence for child porn offences. He will be watched. Any mother of his child will know who he is. He has to tell them.

The final thought the Star leaves you with is this one:

A prison source said: “He may not be planning to take his own life but there are plenty of lags in here willing to do that for him. It’s definitely only a matter of time before somebody gets to him.”

They would murder the father of innocent child, albeit one only conceived in the Star? Call the police…
