 The Observer | Focus | The Mary Bell affair: after the mob
In the hunting of Mary Bell, everyone has used everyone else and blamed everyone else - except for one mute and powerless individual, Mary Bell's teenage daughter, who until the early hours of Wednesday morning knew nothing of her mother's past and now must be in fear of her own future.
Mary Bell, on the other hand, stood terribly alone during the trial: tearless, defiant, bandying words with the prosecution, apparently untouched by remorse, certainly not touched by those around her, never hugged and held.
In her first book about Mary Bell, published in 1972 and revised in 1994 on the heels of the Bulger case, she writes that children who kill are produced by unhappiness, and that unhappiness is not innate but created by adults.

The child killer Mary Bell and her daughter won a high court injunction yesterday guaranteeing them lifelong anonymity, in only the second case in which the courts have granted such a ban.

Dame Elizabeth said it was highly relevant that Bell was so young at the time of the killings and that she had suffered in her own childhood to an extent that the jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility.

 'Cries Unheard: Why Children Kill: The Story Of Mary Bell' by Gitta Sereny
Front-page stories in British tabloids denounced 40-year-old Mary Bell, calling her a “child killer” and “evil monster” who was paid for her collaboration with Gitta Sereny.
It had been almost 30 years since Bell, at age 11, was convicted of strangling two boys, ages 2 and 3, but her name was still well-known in Britain.
Mary didn’t, not until Betty died in 1994, and Sereny convinced her to tell her story, including her five years in a reform school, where she was the only girl, and almost seven traumatic years in a prison of mostly convicts.

 Gitta Sereny's Cries Unheard Christopher Caldwell
In 1968, at age 11, Bell (as you know but perhaps readers do not), killed two little boys, nine weeks apart, the first by herself, the second with some degree of cooperation from her 13-year-old neighbor and friend Norma Bell, who was no relation.
Basically, she got better care than some abused children do at the hands of the social service system that failed Mary Bell by not removing her from the home of a sadistic mother who tried to kill her four times before she was 11.
Admitting that Mary sometimes went incommunicado for weeks at a time at the height of this project, Sereny pretty much shrugs and says, "Hell, who doesn't?" Mary's love for her daughter is gushed over as if she's the only one who's ever felt such feelings.
