Damn Charles Manson’s momma didn’t even wanna name him? That’s a new level of contempt for a kid wtf.
Geron Fletcher do some real research into Manson and you’ll find his mother’s neglect was the least worst terrible thing that happened to him.
Geron Fletcher I know bro that's more fucked when my own mother told me I was not her son
That's beyond fucked up
Read about how his mom sold him a few times. That’s the most fucked up part.
sometimes a nurse will type No Name if a child is going to be put up for adoption. Or they put male or female
before the last name.
I wonder if these people would have turned out differently if they had been loved instead of abused.
Of course they would, unless they were born with mental issues. Usually the nurture provided throughout early life is key to human development. If the nurture isn't there, neither is the sympathy. I'd be more scared of a serial killer who actually had a great life but became a murderer instead then anyone of these killers mentioned.
@Mitchell Rovit BTK never suffered in childhood, and is probably the worst in matter of sadism.
@@ghostface7591 the only bad upbringing BTK had was being dropped on the head as kid and being humiliated by his teacher
Aileen Wournos's case is so tragic. She was literally kicked out at 14 and had to live in the woods behind her grandparent's house among all the rest of things said in this video. I feel a lot of sympathy for her.
It doesn't change the fact she killed people or make it okay but no one deserves to be abused.
I am not sorry I DO COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND AND THINK MURDERING HER DID ANYTHING TO HELP ANYONE. SHE WAS PURELY Simply abused to a point of killing her from inside out. So many murderers are sitting for life for unbelievable acts that DESERVE DEATH ARE ALIVE AND WELL. MUCH love to You. Your Russian friends.
She did not deserve death. Absolutely Not.
It could go the other way, maybe go to Yale instead.
Sometimes it's parents that are the ones that created the monster's in our world
🙄
Quentin Murdoch agreed
But people don't seem to understand that.
Fact
Reina hosein well it doeant change what they did
I think it’s scarier when they had good childhoods.
Connor White yeah
Jeffery Dahmer had a normal happy childhood.
@@Noname-zx4xj no he didin't watch one of his documentaries.
@@sisigs4820 his might not have any friends and he was neglectet quite often by his parents but thats no reason to do what he did he even knew waht he did was evil and still went through with it. We have to accept that some people are born like that
@@georgeguja6390 no ones born evil, and im srry are u some expert on psychology?
When your Mother is 32 and your Father is 75! 😨
My sister married a 60yr. old man when she was 18. They had two children. Everyone was happy until he passed away.
She remarried another older gentleman.
My cousins mother told me to marry an older guy but I don't belive in it
@@jwhippet8313 lol thats fooking gross she was getting that 60 year old pipe at 18 🍆🤣😂
J Whippet isn’t that pedophila
@@masteryeet3600 not if they're 18, then they're at a legal age
These people were without a doubt fucked up, but I can't help but find them fascinating by a psychological point of view
ginger psycho I know aren’t serial killers so nice
Shoota gang in the Building They're not nice. Obviously you were being sarcastic.
Lexyvil the higher population the less food and more pollution they’re just doing an exercise in population control
Totally agree
ginger psycho same
Psychologically speaking, yeah, these people fascinate me.
Kalligraphii I thought it was just me.🤔
Its hard to say but i feel pitty by these Stories
Deku Kalligraphii might I suggest Jesus. hahaha
Nice profile pic!!! DEKU!!!
Same
Aileen is one serial killer i actually feel sympathy for
Same. I only learned of her story. I havent even watched the movie yet.
@@DibIrken you should
They should show her story to high schools and middle schools and use it as a PSA for underage premarital sex. "See kids? This is what happens when you think you're old enough to make adult decisions and think Parenthood is easy. You're going to ruin an innocent child's life!"
You have to put in mind that we know the story from her perspective.
We don't actually know what happened. There were no witnesses at her crime scenes, so we don't know if she was telling the truth or not. For all we know she could've posed as a hooker, lured herself into men's cars, murdered them and took their money.
i feel bad for all of them. it sucks that they suffered so much and they didn’t get to choose another path.
Some people never stood a chance in life
And the nominees for most depressing Watchmojo top 10 of 2018...
daniel mcdermott There's too many you can't count. They have uploaded 5 videos just today.
Horrible upbringings are usually where monsters start.
Mike Morris plenty have good childhoods and choose to be monsters anyway.
Makica 1981 if genes were a factor, profiling and eugenics (if not by execution, then by sterilization) would be justified, and that's not a world we want to live in. You are more likely to be addicted and things like that because of heredity, but no matter your childhood or genes, you always have a choice.
Jacob Staten 9
I think they should have been licences for having children some people never supposed to have kids
@@ilynpayne7491 Some people should never have kids, no excuses for abusive parents none! Some women should be tranquilized if they are terrible abusive and mentally unable to care of the child. But some father are just derived monsters. I’m a female and I Want to have children.
Talk about depressing.
This is as depressing as it gets.
i didnt believe i could get pitty on these People
If their parents weren't morons, they could've enjoyed better life.
I am a cousin of Pee Wee Gaskins, and I want to say thank you for the way you described him. I'm quite aware of the crimes Pee Wee committed, and I noticed that you didn't mention the worst ones. I appreciate your discretion. Love this channel btw. It was my first CZcams subscription. Thanks guys.
Do u hate ur cousin?
I always felt bad for Aileen, seriously the only serial killer I'd ever had sympathy for. The world failed her, being molested and physical/mental abused does so much shit to a person. I'm not condoning her actions, under any circumstances, but I don't think the punishment she got was right.
Elaini Young I understand where your coming from, and I can relate with her in some ways, she did kill 6 (not including the rapist) innocent men who will never be able to walk the earth ever again so why should she?
Will Mitchell because she needed actual intensive mental help, not just prison.
and she was a master manipulator and how to play the victim.
Felt bad for Carl Panzram as well
Does not work for me. I went through just as much if not more than she did and I have hlnever killed anyone.
I can't help but feel sympathy for these people.
Hailey Colby Just because you are hurt doesn't mean you can hurt others...
@@BlanchestarlightUwUBut those people were subjected to physical, psychological, and sexual violence, and they were subjected to many traumas in their childhood, or strong blows to the head, which made them mentally ill.
@@BlanchestarlightUwU actualy you can if you are pushed far enough
I do feel for these killers. If they hadn't had their abusive, neglectful and awful childhoods, would they have turned out the way they did? Who knows. :(
Studies have shown that most serial killers have three things in common; some form of abuse in childhood, brain damage and mental health issues. This is not to say that anyone with this three things will become serial killers, but it's a common denominator for those who do.
While this is very sad, just because you are hurting does not give you the right to hurt other innocent people who had nothing to do with causing you pain.
Actually I am an adult woman who lived through a very abusive childhood so I know exactly what I'm talking about.
Mandy Anderson not everyone who grows up like that knows better its "normal" for some people
I'm not talking about people who don't know any better. I'm talking about people who deliberately hurt others, know that it's wrong, but do it anyway.
There are plenty of these assholes that had good childhoods and still did this. It's called being a psychopath with no sympathy, which pops up in all walks of life regardless of upbringing.
No one said being hurt gives you the right to hurt anyone else....
Let's be honest, serial killers always have fucked up childhoods, that's why you gotta feel sorry for them in some ways. Not saying you should feel sorry for them, but you gotta think. Would they have done what they done, had they been brought up differently.
Nethan Lock surely I would be mentally broken
Free hugs
I feel very sorry of course for all their victims, however also for them. If they had the love they needed as children, maybe such tragedies wouldn't have happened.
Monsters aren't born, they are made.
My environment is full of evil since childhood until now :)
@@notfound-pr6uq Well i don't think that u live a childhood like them
Boy, that escalated quickly...
I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Are... Are there Serial Killers with GOOD upbringings?
Dicky Collins i believe so. Plus most serial killers use a bad upbringing as an excuse to justify their actions. Rather then say i raped and killed that little girl cause i wanted too. We only have their account to go on plus it looks good in court for a softer sentence.
nadine87k fair enough.
Ted Bundy
David gore and Jeffrey dahmer
Dicky Collins there are serial killers with good childhoods. It's called being a sociopath.
i went through a time in my life when i wanted to murder my classmates for torturing me, but that went away. i think i just became to exhausted to stand up for myself, and i saw their lives becoming super terrible. idk what happened but im glad i didnt do anything terrible. thank god i had an okay home life. i dont know what id do if i was abused at school and by a step parent, and my mom hated me too.
God bless you! You have a good heart for being able to see where evil comes from . It lurks in the dark and hides in the shadows , it pray is light , the people who stand out.
They try to turn us evil.
Eagerly awaiting "top ten perfectly average people who had pleasant enough upbringings"
4th and Adams #1 MichaelBlane Walker.
4th and Adams top ten serial killers with perfect childhoods, then top 10 people who had shitty childhoods but ended up being awesome adults.
One of my parents had a violent upbringing like these and it just makes me think sometimes about how one of my parents could’ve potentially been a serial killer
Next, do Top 10 Serial Killers with Incredible Upbringings, then expand the whole list into a series of Top 10 Serial Killers with Incredible Unbringings in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, etc, then do the same for female-only serial killers and upload it to MsMojo even though murder is murder, then re-upload each into your Best of WatchMojo series, then talk about it in Mojo Talks.
Am I the only one who likes the narrator's voice
No i like it too
That's why I started watching this channel
Yes the only one....
Yes
No
This how killers are born.
Grey World there are plenty of these people who had decent childhoods and there are plenty of people who had bad childhoods but didn't turn into assholes.
Jacob Staten true
I wanna know why some end up like this while others had fucked up childhoods too but don't do this stuff.
na g I guess it has to do with different circumstances.
Different circumstances, and different brains.
Some times parents are responsible for making such type of criminals..
this is wonderful
Nature vs. Nurture .... most of the Serial killers are made..
Now just imagine if all of these killers were nurtured right by their parents or caregivers,....what do you think the results for them would have been? I'm guessing quite the opposite.
Not all who are abused turn into serial killers, most just lose the will to live.
Their past don't make up for what they've done.
But may explain things though! 🙄
M .W. K people are different yo, just bcuz thats what u think dosent mean their past couldnt have fucked up their minds so much that it would of caused all of this to happen, but i agree that these actions shouldnt have caused them to murder others, these people just have flaws
That's not the case for everyone, we're all different, but people like you would never understand.
It most certainly doesn’t, you’re right. However it does give an insight to how they became who they did. You know?
Very American biased. In the UK we have our own nut case killers. Fred and Rosemary West come to mind.
If you're talking about their own childhood, yes Rose having a horrible childhood is true. (But I still don't feel sorry for her.) but Fred having a so called "awful childhood" is undoubtedly false.
Fred and Rosemary are mentioned on another watch mojo list of top 10 evil couples, I think.
i would added Andrej Chikatilo
They were fucking Insane!!!!!!
ian brady and myra hindley is an example of that
I definitely plan on having kids when I am older and I would never even think to treat them like this
*GREAT CONTENT*
Great video
As if the thumbnail wasn't so terrifying enough.
I used to hate these monsters but after watching this i felt pity for these people
AYYY!! Thank you for putting my favorite serial killer to learn about! (It’s Albert fish btw.)
In my school, they don’t enforce things like ‘serial killers must not be learned about in history class!! D:
That thumbnail is everything lol
No, the parents are the monsters
Aileen Wuornos doesn't deserve to have that picture of her in the thumbnail. She had a hell of a life and was manipulated. She had to do some awful things just to take care of her siblings after being kicked out at such a young age. That was pretty sh!tty of yall. Just like your video of "Ugly Ducking" celebrities - I'd love to see what the people who come up with the ideas really look like.
This shows not everyone should be a parent
Stil,till this very date nobody exactly knows Who the hell is Zodiac Killer???
Shubham Goel nope. I would say he got away Scott free but, who knows. He could have been killed by some other random person or died of cancer or anything. We will never know
It’s Ted Cruz!!!
Phoenix Rose why did I know someone was going to said his name
Henry Lee Lucas shouldn't be on this list. There is significant evidence showing that he was coerced into a long confession and it's entirely possible that he is not guilty at all! And Aileen Wournos had a tragic and really sad childhood and should absolutely be on this list!
In Brazil, all these killers would stay in jail in 10 years or less.
maybe some in the uk as well?
@Kaden Overstreet Yes. I’m being serious.
Brazilian laws are soft for criminals.
A notorious drug dealer was released from the jail last week and he escaped to Colombia.
Every child deserves good parents. But not every human in this world deserves to have children!
WatchMojo doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of these serial killers childhoods..
These are some of the best videos
Albert Fish. Imagine when you walk into his house and thinking to yourself. Hmn Something smell Fishy here.
Lol I don't know why I find that hilarious 😂😂😂
3:08 I laughed a little too hard at the bad pun ''Fish was O-FISH-IALLY linked to 3 murders...'' why am I like this lmao.
If anyone doesn’t know Albert Fish and one of his kidnappings and cannibalism crimes done to a little girl was what inspired the Vocaloid song “Secrets of Wysteria”. If you play the song backwards you can hear a creepy message sent to the girl’s parents about how he dealt with her
Great 👍 vid keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍
Sammie Stanley fascinating list watchmojo thanx for posting!
Some of them I never heard of and the horrible things and killed so many! YIKES
Is it justified to kill a abusive parent or will just be seen as murder 🤔🤔?
Micheal Mateja technically it will be seen just as murder, no matter how your motive is justifiable. The Self Defense Motive is a controversial stuff
Yes
If you beat a dog, you force it to bite.. They hardly stood a chance :/
Their upbringings still don't excuse their crimes. These kind of people make me sick

I also had an awful childhood
I'm glad you got your happiness after you got of Honji Academy
the soundtrack is so eerie, goes well with the topic of the video
It's not the serial killers with awful upbringings you should worry about...it's the ones who had perfectly normal ones.
mam oh man i met aileen wuornos a few years ago when i was taking a vocational rehab,we learned to make things and do a test to see what kind of job we were going to be able to handle i met her and way back then i did not know she was that mean she was nice and we worked on projects together at vocational rehab together
Fun fact: Gaskin was actually Charles Greens friend (AGP)
RIP AGP
Despite these tragic stories, serial killers absolutely fascinate me. I cannot say why, but they just do...
A great documentary that goes deep into this kind of thing is Zeitgeist: Moving Forward
I felt bad for Richard Ramirez because of what his cousin did that made him turn out to be like he was
The teachers and chikd services must remove children from these situations it proves severe abuse leads to more abuse. As a society we have to look out for kids that arnt ours. All baby's are born innocent. Early interventions could save lives.
this awesome so interesting
"They mess you up your Mom and Dad they may not mean to but they do. They fill you up with the faults they had and add a little extra just for you"
How does this Channel manage to produce over 5 video a day for years and not run out of ideas? Granted the ideas are ass. But still

THE DERP kNiGHT So they dont actually know a lot about these topics. They just read it off script?
RéMèTriX The GOD Tier Demon they have a couple people research the topics and then they make a script and read that
The Angry Grandpa knew Donald Gaskins he talks about him in a few videos.
Mmmm, who knew. That's very interesting to hear about.

And that they are in Gods hands the horrible things these woman endured is so sad
As humans, we're constantly looking for a reason for people's actions. You'll get tidbits here and there and develop your theories but you're never gonna really know why they chose one decision over the other. Why their mind went down that path, when others with the same childhood, did not. If their upbringing was better, would they have turned out the same or a monster of a different kind? The 'Nature vs Nuture' is really cool to contemplate.
Where's Ted Bundy or Jerry Brados?
NickyVendetta Bundy said in an interview that he had a good childhood. That makes him a Born Psychopath. All these killers were turned into monsters, Bundy was always one.
He also found out that his sister had been his biological mother this whole time.
Ted bundy had a normal childhood
@@13jonash You forgot that his grandfather beat him and may or may not have raped his mother.
@@sisigs4820 How would your mom being your sister and lied to about it be a normal childhood?
Literally thousand of persons had suffered same upbringings and don't become a psychopath...
Sociopath*
It’s every parent responsibility to raise kids well nd if they still turn out to be this it’s their own karma but still raise kids well love them nd treat them good..
When I was a child, we were all terrified of Charles Manson. The book and movie came out and we would always worry he would get out of prison. He was like the boogie man of the 70s
Dam life's hard
7:08 "you're a wizard harry"
Dilon Marniv Miguel Valencia lol
I kinda feel bad for these people, yeah they did heinous things and they're monsters, but damn.
I thought my upbringing and parents sucked, but I guess wasn't so bad.
No talk of Andrei Chikatilo? Raised in WWII Russia in famine and occasional cannibalism. Watched his mom get raped by Nazi's. His mom abused him and was constantly ridiculed.
yeah i was just gonna say his brother was eating by cannibals, and was rejected from his dream job and thought it was because of the shame and disgrace caused by his father
BY NO MEANS DOES THIS GIVE THEM AN EXCUSE but its really sad to go through this :( your family is supposed to love, take care of you and protect you not toss you out like that :(
awkward when you relate to these people regarding their "childhood" except I chose a different path.
I wonder if these people lacked the mental capacity to not act on their abuse. So many people were abused as children but don't become serial killers but others do, why.
It's always a terrible childhood that burns the world. Sure, it's more convincing for why person X does action Y but if you're me and you've seen and heard the worst, you get tired of hearing complaints. Not that these stories aren't worth taking a look at, but still... Next!
David Taylor There are limits to the human psyche. The limits vary from person to person and developmental phase to developmental phase. While there are certainly ways one can combat such a decline, it is usually by first recognizing the danger and taking precautions. For one reason or another, people miss these steps. Yes, they are responsible for their actions because it was their act, but people trully are more than just a will in a body. As much as we want to deny that and say we can choose our destiny, there are factors we cannot choose as well. Some of these factors have such a profound effect upon certain personalities and states of mind that the universe favors their demise over thier healing. Finally, I generally agree that people find excuses more often than not. As a teacher at heart, I hold on to that belief that any student could learn anything if they really wanted. The reality is, however, that for some students, such a feat would require so much internal focus and will, they would essentially have to become an ascetic, change their identity, diet, lifestyle, priorities, etc. It then becomes clear that it makes little sense for these students to fully learn. My job as a teacher at heart is not to judge but always provide an opportunity. To that end, we must not write these depolarables off so easily as victims of their own lack of will. We have a responsibility - or we should, rather - to heal the broken bits of our society to make these happenings become less likely to ever happen again. (We must also simultaneously fight against our own tendency to make excuses, despite any unfortunate circumstances we have experienced. If we are able to see our own faults, if we have the power to choose and examine, WE have no excuses. In essence, we only know for certain that our own selves have no excuse - we know the wrong. Furthermore, it is our responsibility as those who can see to help those who are clearly blind, as much as it is possible. But, I stress that we can never know what possible effect we can have on another. We can only strive to be a positive influence. The greater our light, the lesser the darkness. This is the takeaway.)
In a lot of cases I agree with you, but Aileen's childhood was so messed up. Her grandfather literally made her watch as he drowned her pets in front of her, and made her eat out of the trash. She had to sleep in abandoned cars in the forest and was continually sexually, physically, and psychologically abused throughout her life. Sometimes people just become so far gone and then snap.
David Taylor that’s very true. Hell, most born psychopaths never even commit a crime. They hurt people but they don’t commit a crime.
Just putting it out there, not all abused people become killers and psychopaths. I didn't. Yes, what these people went through is horrific to say the least, but the mere fact that they copied the nightmares they suffered takes all sympathy I have for them, and renders it obsolete.
At 11 years old, my step-mum poured freshly boiled water down my back as punishment for breaking a plate. I would never do that to anyone, even if they deserved it or worse. You think a burn from a spilt drink is bad, think again. Hot water is one of the worst pains any person, let alone a child could ever feel. It starts off deceptively cold, but a second later, there is nothing but gutwrenching pain, and trying to cool it down only makes the pain worse.
In case there are a few messed up comments to follow this, I'd like to add that I'm not writing this for sympathy, I don't want or need it. I'm merely making a point. These people suffered, yes, but they chose to become what they fear the most. They chose to become that hate and anger. They chose...to kill. I took my hate, anger, pain and fear, and I used it as a "What-not-to-do for dummies".
Fun fact Donald "pee-wee" Gaskins was acquainted with Angry Grandpa
I agree with you on these serial killers. However, the abuse which Ailean Wornose suffered during her childhood was far worse than what you described. AiIean was not only selling herself for drugs but for food and alcohol. She was very close to her brother, and she was since early childhood was sexually active with him. When she was 16, she fell pregnant. The father of the child was suspected to be her grandfather. As soon as he found out that she was pregnant he threw her onto the streets. She lived in the woods and eating at friends houses during this time, and when she had the baby, she gave it up for adoption. She then hitchhiked her way to Florida. Well you know the rest of her tragic story.
These people all turned into terrible people because of their childhood and Charlie’s Manson I’ve heard about
roman torchwick they were assholes because that's who they are plenty of people go through that kind of thing and don't take it out on other people. Meanwhile other sociopaths have good childhoods and still do this. The childhood has nothing to do with it.
Jacob Staten true it’s also their emotional state of mind but that’s a part of it you have to admit
roman torchwick maybe for some, but the fact that they try to conceal or get away with their crimes means that they know they are doing some wrong. There are also diagnosed sociopaths who behave.
Jacob Staten true but sometimes a person can take so much before they snap and take their anger out on people by doing these types of acts
They forgot to mention that Manson's mother once sold him for a pitcher of beer. What a classy mom...
