James Bulger – A Mother’s Story: Real Crime
James Bulger was two years old when he was abducted from a Liverpool shopping centre and murdered in February 1993. This year James should have been celebrating his 18th birthday with his family but instead their final image of him is as a toddler, captured on CCTV, holding the hand of his killer.
Featuring brand new interviews with James’ mother Denise and the policemen who conducted interviews with the killers; the film looks back at a crime that shocked the nation, thrust a young mother into the spotlight and led to the unprecedented trial of two 10 year old boys.
Denise speaks of the impact of the murder on both James’ family and the wider community and how she has fought the justice system since her son was taken.
In this poignant birthday year, Denise reveals she is ready to work towards something positive in James’ memory and explains why she has now decided to create a lasting memorial to him, which will help other children.
James Bulger – A Mother’s Story: REAL CRIME explores the legacy of James’ murder and how it has affected the people directly involved. New and exclusive to ITV1, on Thursday 27th Nov at 10.40pm

How very devastated Denise & other family members must still feel, losing a child in any circumstances is a definate no/no but knowing the scum who did that to little Jamie are still breathing in Gods air must be the final insult to The Bulgers !
I had my own little girl just a bit older than jamie and i think because of this i found the abduction and how the little boy died unbearable and it left me feeling very emotional.
I travelled up to liverpool to pay my respects on the day of his funeral.
I travelled up to liverpool the day before the funeral with my young daughter the weather was bitter cold on the day.
I stayed at the adelphi hotel.
my heart goes out to the family its very upseting im really upset the story is horrible i cried my eyes out,i have a child and i couldnt cope if anything bad happend to her.i think its nice that mrs bulger is celebrating jame|s life and that she is helping other children.im only 18 but my mum told me about this story when i was about 8 years old when i ran off .people still to this day remember and i dont think will for get,they shouldnt have been let out they should of got life and now they are out with new names and they may have kids of there own it makes me sick i thinks it is dissusting!!
After watching the programme last night i felt the same shock as when i was 12 years old. I lined the streets of Liverpool that day with my family to say good bye to a boy had never met.I lived not far from the scene and still in Liverpool now i will never forget that day as log as a live and don’t think any one will in Liverpool.I hope Denise and her family have great sucess with the red ballon organisation and would love to help in any way possiable it will be a sad day he should of turned 18 i will never understand and NEVER forgive R.I.P James xx
