Charles Manson As a child he was sent to many reform schools. He has spent the last four decades behind bars. He will never get out prison. He will eventually die in prison. This is the life of Charles Manson. Charles Manson is a sick and cruel criminal. Charles Manson was a troubled youth. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on November 12 ,1934. (Petersen,1) His mother was an unwed 16 year old runaway named Kathleen Maddox.(Petersen,1) Charles did not have much of a home life. His mother and his uncle were both sent to jail for armed robbery when he was only five years old. (Petersen,1) During his childhood Charles got in trouble quite a few times. At the young age of nine he was sent to reform school for stealing. (Peterson,1) When he was twelve years old he was caught again for stealing and was sent to the Gibault School for Boys in Terre Haute, Indiana. (Petersen, 1) After a short time he ran away, but to his surprise was returned to the authorities by his mother. (Petersen, 1) By the age of thirteen he was arrested for burglarizing a grocery store. (Carlson,1) This time he was sent to the Indiana School for boys in Plainfield, Indiana. It was …show more content…
He pretended to be illiterate in order to have others underestimate him. The people that evaluated him while in Washington claimed that he was skilled in the ways of the system. (Petersen, 2) During his time spent locked up he managed to study Scientology, and even took a Dale Carnegie course called “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. It was in these classes that Manson learned to manipulate the naive. (Carlson, 1) This would be a skill that he would rely upon later in life. His life of crime did not appear to stop either. He first entered the adult prison system at age twenty five and was released seven years later in 1967 at age thirty two. By the time he released from prison Manson had spent more than half of his life locked up. (Petersen,
While he was in the gang he dropped out of school. In the gang he got in a lot of trouble. He got arrested for the first time in 1957 after a gang fight. From then on he got arrested a lot in 1958 he was Convicted of burglary and given probation. In 1959 arrested for the first time as an adult for unlawful assembly in a raid at a gambling location.
Charles Albright was born in Amarillo Texas, an orphan, and adopted by Fred and Delle Albright. His mother was a schoolteacher whose influence eventually allowed Albright to skip two grades in school. As a child, Albright purchased his first gun and killed animals with it and practiced taxidermy with his mother. At just thirteen years old he began stealing and was arrested for the first time. He graduated high school at just fifteen years old and enrolled in pre-med training.
...ssed as police officers, cornered and shot seven members of a top rival gang in the back. Such levels of violence were horrific however it appeared that no-one might touch him till 1931, wherever where was finally convicted for tax evasion instead of the four hundred murders he was presumed have committed.
Neglect during his childhood, most certainly affected Charles Manson and contributed to the monster he became. A biography of Charles states that his mother didn’t want anything to do with him so he lived on the streets committing minor crimes (“Charles Manson Biography”). Charles’s mother robbed him of a normal childhood with a loving family. Reports on Manson stated that he was “suffering from a ‘marked degree of rejection, instability, and psychic trauma’” (“Charles Manson Biography”). Charles later married a 17 year old woman who left him for another man due to his return to prison (“Charles Manson Biography”). Once again, Charles was abandoned by someone he loved. After his time in jail, Manson obsessed over cult-quasi-religious groups and he took on the role of a cult leader because he believed the world to be “doomed” (“Charles Manson Biography”). Charles then formed his cult from a group of unstable people. He persuaded his group to believe that he was of a higher power; therefore, they followed him like a god. The biography of Manson states that, “Manson himself took no part in the actual killings, but directed his murderous disciples to the address and instructed them to kill everyone (“Charles Manson Biography”). Charles’s background and past trauma led him to commit horrid acts. Like Charles, John Wayne Gacy also lived with an alcoholic parent. Gacy’...

Dodd was born in Washington State, July 3rd 1981. He had two older brothers and often described his home as loveless. His parents divorced when he was 15 years old (Newton, M n.d.). “Dodd stated his dad criticized a lot of what he did and that he could never live up to his expectations.” (Branch, Bryan, Giovenco, Nichols, Yeatts, n.d.). At 13 it is believed that Dodd began abusing children. He would expose his self from an upstairs window or bike around the neighborhood and expose his self to children. Dodd never claimed to be sexually abused but he wasn’t educated about sex. “Westley’s father, Jim Dodd, told The Oregonian that he acknowledged his son’s sexual deviancy with “father-son chats,” but mostly avoided talking about it, despite Westley’s increasing arrests and warnings. The eldest of three kids, Westley was otherwise well behaved. “He never did drugs, he never drank, he never smoke” said the elder Dodd.” (Scott, S n.d.).
At one point, he wrote a song that would later become stolen from him by Dennis Wilson and famous by the Beach Boys called, “Never Learned Not to Love.” This more likely than not, caused him great pain and incredible rage. He wanted to be famous for his music, and for it to be taken from him could have possibly began his prejudice attitude towards Hollywood and famous celebrities. Prejudice is the preconceived negative judgement of a group and its individual members. His prejudice only grew towards those like Sharon Tate, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and other incredibly famous people of that time. Manson and his family didn’t personally known Tate, but during the sixties she was the pinnacle of success for any young, and beautiful actress. She was also pregnant and married to, another famous celebrity, filmmaker Roman Polanski. I believe because of that, she also became a source of hate for Manson. Charles Manson probably believed that famous people were the cause of his lack of greatness, which ignited such hatred in him. It is very possible that he was an insecure man who felt that he needed constant recognition by many. It could be that he believed he was this higher power and everyone should love and worship him, and when that didn’t happen his immense animosity for those he admired only
After moving from Ashland, Kentucky to Cincinnati, Ohio, the Maddox family lived a better life financially than most during their time period. Manson’s grandfather, Charlie Milles Maddox, worked for a railroad company who paid him a considerable amount of money until his untimely death in October 1931, but after his death, his wife, Nancy Maddox, and his children received a sixty dollar stipend from the railroad company (Guinn 10). Two years after the death of Charlie Maddox, Nancy Maddox was struck with tragedy again when her eldest daughter fell ill and died of pneumonia in 1933 (Guinn 11). Despite of all the losses she was faced with, Nancy heavily believed in God and the
Charles Manson was born on November 12th, 1934 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was the son of sixteen year old Kathleen Maddox, and Colonel Scott who left Kathleen during her pregnancy. (Guinn 39) According to law2.umkc.edu, in November of 1939, Manson’s mother and uncle got sentenced to prison for five years for robbing a gas station. Also in 1947, Manson’s mother tried to send him to a foster home but was not able to due to not having room for Manson. A court then sent Manson to a school for boys in Terre Haute, Indiana. Manson was an unordinary child, he would constantly act out and enjoyed it. He would constantly break out and escape from his training schools and juvenile centers. Law2.umkc.edu states that Charles Manson’s first offense was when he burglarized a grocery store, Manson got caught in his constant acts of crimes and got sent to a juvenile center in Indianapolis. While there Manson escaped with a cell mate and both of them committed two armed robberies. In 1951 Charles Manson escaped with two other men, the three of them eventually got caught driving a stolen car. After this act Manson was sent to Washington D.C’s National Training School for Boys, there he escaped a number of 18 times, after being sent too many different places Charles Manson was finally...

Charles Milles Manson was born on November 12, 1934 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Manson’s mother was a teenage prostitute named Kathleen Maddox and his father was known as ‘Colonel Scott’. Kathleen wanted to give Charles a last name so she immediately married William Manson, who quickly left the picture (Roberts 30). Charles Manson’s mother committed many minor crimes, which left him to live with his religiously crazed aunt and grandmother (Brewer). Once Kathleen was out of jail, she reclaimed her son and moved to Indianapolis. She promised to provide Charlie with the best life possible, but could not keep the promise due to falling back into her old routines of liquor and men. Manson's mother would abuse him and leave him home alone for hours at
