I've been in a situation closer to that poor womans then I would ever wish on another living being. Vengence won't make her feel better, it won't help her get over it, it won't make her able to look her son in the eyes (providing the torture done to him hasn't blinded him) again.
Nothing will ever remove the burden that she's now living under. Torturing those boys is infact not going to help her in any way shape or form, all it will do is make society feel like it's doing something.
There's a reason that the majority of legal systems in the world allow punishment to be passed out by an objective person / collection of people.
1) so that the victims don't have to live under the guilt and horror of not only their own suffering but knowing that they caused the death of another human being ( all very well to decide they should die now but they might feel differently in 5 years)
2) Incase a mistake is made. Numerous cases over the years have been appealed or new evidence has come to light which proves that the person in jail was not actually guilty.
I know that people want criminals to pay and I agree with you, they should. I know that the legal systems all over the world have problems. It's alot easier to find the problems in these systems then fix them though.
