Denise Fergus, the mother of murdered toddler James Bulger, is calling for a change in the law after it emerged that one of her son's killer is to get a new false identity.
Jon Venables, 27, is starting a two-year jail term after he admitted downloading and distribution of vile child pornography images on the internet.
But a judge ruled that the identity under which "Venables" committed his latest crimes cannot be published.
The only new details he allowed out was that before his arrest Venables has been living in a town in Cheshire.
And it has emerged that the Home Office is planning to give him a second false identity ready for him to be paroled after serving his new sentence.
Angry at the protection for her son's killer Denise Fergus, 41, is calling on Justice Secretary Ken Clarke to bring forward changes in the law to prevent judges from shielding criminals from the consequences of their crimes.
Denise Fergus is demanding a meeting with Mr Clarke following the announcement that ex-Home Office private secretary, Sir David Omand, will carry out an inquiry into the supervision of Venables by probation, police and other agencies since his release on parole in 2001.
She also wants the terms of the Ormand Inquiry to be extended to include an investigation of the handling of Robert Thompson's parole. Thompson was the second of the two 10-year-olds who abducted and murdered two-year-old James Bulger in 1993.
Denise Fergus said: "In March I had a private meeting with the then Justice Secretary Jack Straw. He promised me that Venables would be treated before the law in the same way as any other criminal, but that has not happened.
"He appeared in court as 'Venables' but that is not the name under which he committed the disgusting crimes for which he has been jailed. We don't even know under what name he will serve his sentence.
"For murdering my precious son he spent seven years in a cushy children's home. Now he is in jail, but for all we know he does not even go by the name under which he committed the crime.
"He is again being protected by a new false identity while he is in jail. That is not justice or punishment.
"It means that, yet again, he is not being made to face-up to the consequences of his actions.
"He is laughing at justice because he has got away with murder and now the most vile child sex abuse. Whatever he does they will change his name. It's outrageous.
"This judge, Mr Bean, decided that the name he has gone by since 2001 could not be published. That to is an insult to his victims and makes no sense. It's a travesty of justice.
"But the fact is that it will spread around the country like wildfire, by word of mouth, until everyone knows it. Again it brings the law into disrepute and that should not happen.
"In court I was put through the mental torture of hearing Venables' voice yet not seeing him. But I am not even sure whether he could see me. I don't know if the screen he could see showed the whole court. It's sickening and makes me very angry that the criminal gets the best treatment.
"We heard his lawyer trot-out a string of pathetic excuses claiming he sank into abuse of drink and drugs because of the stress of living a lie.
"Now it seems more money is going to be spent on giving him a third identity. What does he have to do in order to be treated as a criminal? His is untouchable and that is a dangerous message that the courts and the Probation Service are sending to him.
"They are telling him that, no matter what he does, they will conspire with him to make sure that he never has to face retribution. That is completely wrong.
"I want to meet Ken Clarke to convince him that the government needs to take action to change the law so that this does not keep happening.
"The law should be changed to prevent judges and the Probation Service conspiring with criminals against victims and against the public in general.
"No-one is safe while killers and paedophile like Venables can be rewarded with new identities.
"Venables said he could not live a lie. He should not be allowed to live a lie and they should not make that same mistake again."
Denise said there was no evidence that Venables would not be safe if he was forced to live under his original identity.
"Changing his name has failed so they should scrap that idea. There are no lynch mobs going around stringing-up other vile criminals when they come out of jail.
"Venables is notorious but he should be made to live with it. He should go back to living with his original name, in a different part of the country. That is the only right and safe way forward."
Denise added that she also wants the inquiry into the handling of Venables parole to be extended to that of Robert Thompson.
She said: "I have heard that Thompson had a couple of 'wobbles' during his time on parole, but they were 'contained'. I do not know any details, but it could be something just like Venables - fighting, drinking and abusing hard drugs.
"The Probation Service bent over backwards to cover-up for Venables and they could be doing the same for Thompson. I want the inquiry to look into both cases. I won't be satisfied unless it does.
"I want to meet Sir David Ormand before he starts his investigation. It must not be a whitewash. It should have teeth and he should have the power to make recommendations.
"All the probation officers who conspired to cover-up for Venables should be sacked. I feel I have a right to tell Sir David Ormand what his report should cover."
At the Old Bailey on Friday, Mr Justice Bean also banned Venables from using a computer, unless it has strict software restrictions preventing him accessing porn of chat rooms, for five years. He will be placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years upon any eventual release.
The indecent images were found on Venables' computer after he alerted his probation officer when he feared his new identity was in danger of being revealed.
The judge said it would be "wrong" for his sentence to be increased because of his previous crime. But he said Venables would not be automatically freed after serving half of his jail term like any other prisoner and it would be for the Parole Board to determine when or if he would be released.
Venables pleaded guilty to three offences under the 1978 Protection of Children Act. The first involved downloading 57 indecent pictures of children between February 2009 and February 2010.
The second involved distributing three indecent photographs of children in February 2010, while a third involved distributing 42 images in February 2008.
In a statement read to the court, Venables said he was "genuinely ashamed" of the offences.
Venables was arrested for affray in September 2008 but the charge was dropped. He claimed he had acted in self-defence, but was given a formal warning that his actions had breached the terms of his release.
His counsel Mr Ed Fitzgerald, QC, said in mitigation that Venables had also become
addicted to drugs, including cocaine, and was cautioned for possession in December 2008.
In a statement made to police in March, Venables said he considered it "breaking the last taboo", but insisted he had "no intention" of having sex with a young girl.
But the court also heard that in online communications Venables claimed to be a 35-year-old married woman named Dawn Smith who abused her eight-year-old daughter, and offered to sell access to the child.
Aged 10, Venables and Thompson abducted two-year-old James while he was shopping with his mother at the New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle on 12th February 1993.
In June 2001, when they had both turned 18, then Lord Chief Justice Lord Woolf reduced their sentence to 7 years 8 months - the time they had spent in custody - and they were freed on parole, despite huge public outcry.
