Bad Bad Children Who Killed (histogore) by TheSourcerer: 7:34am On May 13, 2022
In all of the aspects of the human existence, very little has been as constant and ubiquitous as the tendency to become violent. Whether the dead had elaborate burials or were left out in the sun to rot, murder has been around since as long as there have been humans, and as long as there has been murder, there have been bodies to discover and people to hold accountable for such crimes. But in some seemingly unusual cases, the person discovered to be the evil murderer is a child.The question of why children commit murder leads us down a long, winding path of possible explanations, some of which give credence to the idea that some people are just quite simply born violent. Another line of thinking suggests that children who murder are, more often than not, victims of abuse, neglect, or other chaotic home lives which make for a recipe for disaster.
Children under 12 years old who commit murder are exceedingly rare, but it does happen, and child murderers over the age of 12 are actually quite common and have been throughout the entirety of human history. Here are ten child murderers from the past and their stories.

Nathaniel Abraham


October 29, 1997, Nathaniel Abraham was only 11 years old. He had borrowed a .22-caliber rifle and headed down the street to a hillside near a local convenience store in Pontiac, a suburb located near Detroit, Michigan. It was then that Abraham raised his rifle and shot a teenager, 18-year-old Ronnie Greene, in the head. This seemingly spontaneous act of murder was senseless. Greene was a complete stranger to Abraham—this was a random killing in cold blood. What on Earth could possibly possess an 11-year-old to commit such a heinous crime?Nathaniel was arrested and brought up on charges for homicide and faced life in prison. But the prosecution made the suggestion that the young boy be reassessed at age 19 and again at age 21. He was released from juvenile detention on his 21st birthday.
But it would only be two years before Abraham was in trouble again, this time for selling ecstasy in 2009, violating the conditions of his release. He received a four- to 20-year prison sentence

Cindy Collier and Shirley Wolf



Cindy Collier and Shirley Wolf were an interesting duo of child murderers and were practically straight out of a horror movie. The two girls were only 15 and 14 years old, respectively, on June 14, 1983, when the duo would come together to commit one of the most senseless crimes of all time: the murder of Anna Bracket, an 85-year-old woman.
The girls simply walked right up to the elderly woman’s door, knocked, and explained that they were being followed by strange men. They proceeded to ask this caring woman if they could use her phone to call for help, to which she agreed. That’s when the two seemingly innocent young girls would strike.

Collier was definitely the brains and the evil behind the plot to kill an innocent grandmother, and Wolf probably just went along for the ride. Cindy Collier had a long history of violence and criminal acts, including burglary, theft, possession of drugs, and a foreshadowing charge of assault. Like all too many child murderers, Cindy had been sexually assaulted and raped at a very young age. Wolf came from a background of sexual assault as well. After her father was arrested for molesting the poor young girl, she went in and out of various foster homes.Upon entering the home, the two teenage girls proceeded to stab Anna Bracket a total of 27 times. Later, Shirley Wolf would write in her journal one of the most cryptic messages ever left behind by a killer: “Today, Cindy and I ran away and killed an old lady. It was lots of fun.” Even more terrifying, the girls had only met one another eight hours before they decided to commit the murder. The stars seemingly aligned in just the right way to create a dark disaster. Upon their arrest and during their trial, the girls were notably cold, uncaring, and completely devoid of all emotion. They were the definition of coldhearted, personified evil.

MARY BELL



Like Nathaniel Abraham, Mary Bell committed murder at the age of 11 years old, and like Cindy Collier and Shirley Wolf, her early life was marred by sexual abuse. She was even prostituted by her parents to make ends meet.
Bell was born to an extremely impoverished family in 1957 in Newcastle, England, and would live an extremely troubled life, from abusive and alcoholic parents to being prostituted and raped. Her mother was highly mentally unstable, and young Mary never really had a chance at a normal life. At age 11, Mary Bell would meet another girl, Norma Bell (of no relation), who was 13 years old, and the two would become friends.Then, on May 25, 1968, Mary Bell and Norma bell murdered a four-year-old boy by the name of Martin Brown in an abandoned building, though Mary herself actually killed Martin, while Norma was just present. The police initially wrote the murder off as an accidental death, but upon further investigation, they realized that the boy had been strangled. This is when Mary and Norma broke into an abandoned building and decided to vandalize it. They left a note behind in the building, claiming responsibility for the killing, which the police initially took to be a prank.Then came the next murder, when the two girls killed a three-year-old boy, this time together, named Brian Howe, luring him into the woods to strangle him. The police would then make the connection and take the two girls a bit more seriously, and they would be brought up on charges. The charges against Norma were dropped, but Mary ended up serving 12 years before being released. In a bizarre twist of fate, she would give birth to her first child on May 25, 1984, exactly 16 years to the day after the murder of Martin Brown.

Luke Woodham of Pearl, Mississippi,

He was only 16 years old on October 1, 1997, when his killing rampage began.
He had been a well-behaved boy and student all the way up until that date, when something inside him snapped and took him down a dark road of rage and murder. While Luke didn’t grow up in a particularly violent household, there were definitely some problems at home, and Luke was ostracized at school for his appearance. In 1997, Luke fell in with a sort of pseudo-cult, much like The Vampire Clan, which was headed up by youth killer Rod Ferrell. They were called “The Kroth” and only consisted of three members. Even before that, Luke had been writing some pretty bizarre essays in class. The following assignment, based on a prompt asking the students to describe what they’d do if they spent the day as their teacher, read:If I could spend a day as Mrs. Neal, I would be very, very nice to Luke Woodham and pass him for the year. Then I would knock the crud out of the ‘omniscient dork’ for putting junk on my computer.Then I would go crazy and kill all of the other teachers. Then I would slowly and very painfully torture all of the principals to death.Then I would withdraw all of my money in the bank and give it to Luke Woodham. Then I would get all of the other teachers and principals’ bank account numbers, withdraw all of the money and give it to Luke Woodham.Then I would do acid. Then I would get a gun and blow my brains out all over the dog-gone room and leave my house to Luke Woodham.It seems as if his mind was slowly cracking and going insane. Then October 1 would come, and Luke would murder his mother, Mary Woodham, by bludgeoning and stabbing her. He then took a .30-.30 rifle, drove to school, handed his close friend his notebooks (containing his diary, which would tell us a lot about the young murderer), and shot nine of his classmates, killing two of them. Luke Woodham would be caught, tried, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison. This was a historically notable event, as it was the first of a series of school shootings in the United States in the late 1990s and helped to inspire subsequent ones, most infamously the Columbine massacre.
