It is a case that is unprecedented.

her mother said it was the happiest day in your life when you have been approved to adopt.

Ana Kriégel Parents said she was "just a little girl with so many hopes and dreams" she was practicing, an enthusiastic dancer and singer, for hours in your bedroom, and often posting videos of her dancing on YouTube.

she was in many ways a typical teenage girl who loved to listen to music and her various Social Media accounts.

At 5ft 8in (1. 7m), she was tall and Strong , a good swimmer and gymnast.

But she also had terrible bullying, and specifically on Social Media

What do we know about their killer? Criminal defense lawyer for The Eastern circuit and in Dublin , Irene Sanden, says Ana teenage killer "to give stereotypical red flags".

you said, apart from the obvious horrific details of the case and the case struck a chord with "middle-class Ireland".

"Most People thought that Ana was the daughter of your sister or classmate in the school," she says.

however, many people felt The Boys would feel their sons, brothers, or next-door neighbor, you.

someone had.

"There were two boys from good homes and decent families that do not have the background, no gardaí (Irish police) attention. "

It seemed, they were not so-called "typical" troubled teen," she says.

"One of The Boys had been taken to be The First in custody, to ask in Ireland, for Lego," she adds.

"It will remind you of the fact that you are 13 - you are actually little boys - they are so Young . "

How did the police treat the case? Irish police praised for their approach to The Investigation .

"The Guards you dealt with particularly well," said Ms Sands.

This is it, what are the parameters to operate within which the police in Ireland, if you are with Young offenders.

she says she went "through the observance of the law in terms of how they interact with the offender."

Anna's Parents Geraldine and Patric Kriégel hugged and cried in court when the judgment was delivered ", It is, of course, that in terms of The Evidence gathered - it was Very little as inadmissible," She Said .

"This is The Best piece of evidence in terms of how good a job the gardaí.

"None of it was inadmissible because of any failure of The Guards , including your interviews. "

Have to play Pornography matter? Ms Sands believes one of the most important topics of conversation to come out of the study, was not heard by The Jury .

It was revealed in court that the Boy had researched online for "child porn" and "animal porn" and had thousands of pornographic images on two mobile phones.

The Judge refused the Prosecutor's evidence, he said it was "highly prejudicial".

"All this was inadmissible, The Jury ," said Ms Sands.

"But the accessibility of Pornography for Young People has become a big Problem."

The question was up for discussion in the Dáil (Irish Parliament).

The Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister ), Leo Varadkar , said that the government would monitor a UK plan to have access to Pornography .

stops the under 18-year-old looking at pornographic websites in force, But

Can be guaranteed anonymity? Under Irish law, Young A and B is entitled to anonymity.

The Children 's law forbids the identification of minors accused of or arrested for an offense sentenced, and The Boys ' identities remain protected, even After they are 18.

you will never be named.

Geraldine and Patric Kriégel plant a tree in Anna's memory, But what happens when the law meets modern technology?

pictures and names of The Boys appeared on Social Media .

In July , the Central criminal court ordered Facebook and Twitter to remove all of the photos or any other material that the two Young .

A journalist has been fined € 2,500 (£2,156), After he with the name of one of The Boys during a live radio broadcast and a radio station was fined 10,000 euros (£8,625).

Regardless of court decisions, though, even a name or an image seen or have heard of is the damage?

Anna's Parents described her as a happy child and a "dream come true" Youth justice criminologist Prof Phil Scraton of Queen's University Belfast, says Social Media should not inform any judicial decisions.

"Social Media is here and we have to deal with it, But we should never make decisions to be around him. "

Ms Sands said, while anonymity is an important principle, in practice it is difficult.

"Ireland is a stamp and it is likely your local communities know who they were," she adds.

"were you in school for a minute, then missing for two months," she adds.

says you, while the anonymity of The Act will serve to protect is, in theory, well-thought, there are "practical" need to be taken into account.

" When she says only one detention centre in Ireland, and they have two teenagers, the arrival in it, the reality of the protection of anonymity is difficult and unrealistic," She Said .

when can a child be a criminal? The case raises important questions about the age and responsibility.

In The Republic of Ireland the age of Criminal Responsibility is 12, But with a child from the age of 10 years can be offset with more serious crimes such as murder, manslaughter, rape and serious sexual assault.

In Northern Ireland is 10. with a view to the consideration of it will raise up to 14.

In England and Wales is says 10, and

Prof Scraton, he believes, with such a low age of Criminal Responsibility , we are "in danger, to criminalize children early".

He has done extensive research of the marginalisation and criminalisation of children and Young People .

He worked on the James Bulger case, which is widely considered to be a Turning Point for youth justice in the UK.

Two-year-old-James-was

The European court of Human Rights found his killers, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, tried both out in public in an adult court, not a fair process get.

Ana, murder back memories of this case has brought to life in Irish society.

'time of transition'Prof Scraton says it is a "contradiction at The Heart of this discussion".

contradiction, he believes, is the age at which children can be held to criminal account, compared to the age in which you rights in the company.

It is an age, he believes that both in the UK and Ireland, is too Young .

"Childhood is a time of transition," he says.

"In a number of other areas of our life, we show that the transition depending on their age and the time in which we are generally agreed, is from 15 to 18.

"Then we are agreed, you can do things like Get Married , vote, drive and drink alcohol in public.

"We will make an exception in one case, and this is the age of Criminal Responsibility .

" - In this section, we are going to tell you, you have full capacity, if you are a lot Younger - a ridiculous contradiction. "

What should the boy " sets are over? Prof Scraton says that while The Children are doing, what we would think of "full capacity" this is not an option, he says, mean we should not do it.

"I think it's really important that we do intervene, to intervene, But appropriate," he says.

"this is what happens, for example, in the Scandinavian countries, where work with The Child to ensure that they understand what they have done".

As he worked in Sweden and Norway ", as soon as it was found, they were children, there was a moratorium on reporting," he says.

In Scandinavia, which is the age of Criminal Responsibility is 15.

But The Public mood is out of step with what think researchers like him?

Many people who have called on Social Media , for The Boys , Locked Up For Life .

The two 15-year-olds were in custody since their convictions In July .

§ 96 of The Children Act, that the period of detention should be

you will be forever 14.
