'''Robert Thompson''' and '''Jon Venables''' (both born in August, 1982, but Jon was born on the 13th, and Robert was born ten days later) are two felons, known in British history as the youngest convicted criminals at the age of 10. They were responsible not only for truanting from school (in the process), but mainly, for [[kidnapping]], [[torture|torturing]], and brutally [[murder]]ing a 2-year old boy named James Bulger. Afterwards, they left his body on the train tracks, where it was run over by a train. | '''Robert Thompson''' and '''Jon Venables''' (both born in August, 1982, but Jon was born on the 13th, and Robert was born ten days later) are two felons, known in British history as the youngest convicted criminals at the age of 10.
