Terrifying if true case out of Liverpool:
The Bulger case haunted me as it did many in the UK. I'll never forget that grainy video of little James being led away. Guardian link follows:

Two boys aged 11 and 12 have been arrested in connection with the attempted abduction of a young girl from a Liverpool supermarket as police appealed on Wednesday for the child's mother to contact them.
The girl, thought to be between three and five, was shopping with her mother at the large Asda in Smithdown Road, south of the city centre when the boys allegedly tried to snatch her.
The mother reported the attempted kidnap, which happened on 6 November, to an in-store security guard – but he failed to log it with store managers until he came back on shift the following day.
It was reported to police on 9 November and the boys were arrested on Friday. They have since been released on police bail. Merseyside police are trying to trace the woman, who they say did not leave details with the supermarket.
