my older sister remembers this case, it was truly creepy, she was truly creepy.
the reason for her anonymity is not to protect her, but to protect her daughter, I think i read the other day that mary bell is now a grandmother.
One thing i will say in her 'defence' is that her mother was a prostitute and used Mary as a sex toy with her clients, S and M and that kind of stuff.
I don't think the child had any normal kind of feelings. but from what i've read she is completely rehabiliated.
I'm a Londoner and I completely luv the Geordie accent.
