The incident that inspired the media to link Childs Play 3 to the Jamie Bulger case was the judge of the case saying "Whilst there has been no actual evidence of this, I suspect that exposure to violent movies had something to do with your actions". It was said that Jon Venables father had rented the film, but the police confirmed that this film had never been rented by either family, and that it was unlikely either child had even seen it.
