From time to time the unthinkable happens: children
kill. Some decide to murder members of their own family in spite of
their seemingly normal upbringing. Others do so because their upbringing
was far from normal – often including beatings and abuse. Then there
are misguidedchildren who, from the sheer desire to kill,
go on murder sprees ending the lives of purely innocent victims.
Children are supposed to be innocent and pure; without malice, contempt,
sinister anger, or desires to kill, yet every year many commit horrific
crimes. Here are Ten of the Most Evil Children in History, with number One exclusively dedicated to one foul group. The age limit for this list is 17 years.
1. Brian And David Freeman / Nelson Byrdwell
Bryan
Freeman, 17, and David, 16, who had shaved and tattooed their heads as a
symbol of their neo-Nazi beliefs, were immediate suspects when their
parents and younger brother were found bludgeoned to death in their
Salisbury Township, PA, home. The boys had been terrorizing the family
and, as a whole, the town. As the police told it, the triple murder
uncovered in Salisbury Township, Pa., that week was every parent’s
nightmare — the ghastly culmination of a long-running battle of wills
between Brenda and Dennis Freeman and their loutish, hulking sons Bryan,
17, and David, 16.
2. Edmund Kemper
In
1964, when Edmund Kemper was 15, he shot his grandparents, killing them
both. He had been planning his repulsive act for some time and had no
regrets later. The California Youth Authority
detained him in Juvenile Hall so that they could put him through
rigorous series of tests administered by a psychiatrist. Because the
results suggested that he was a paranoid psychotic, he was sent to
Atascadero State Hospital for treatment. There he learned what others
thought about his crime and worked hard to make his doctors believe that
he had recovered. Although he was considered a sociopath,
he worked in the psychology lab to help administer the tests to others.
In the process, he learned a lot about other deviant offenders. Kemper
was released after another five years and remained under the supervision
of the Youth Authority. His doctors recommended that he not be returned
to his mother’s care, but the Youth Authority ignored this. After
Kemper murdered and dismembered eight women over the next five years,
these same doctors affirmed his insanity defense. In fact, even as he
was carrying parts of his victims around, a panel of psychiatrists
judged him to be no threat to society.
3. Joshua Phillips
In
1998, 14-year-old Joshua Phillips bludgeoned his 8-year-old neighbor to
death and hid her body beneath his bed. Seven days later, his mother
noticed something leaking from beneath the bed. Joshua claimed that’s
he’d accidentally hit Maddie in the eye with his baseball bat causing
her to scream. In his panic he dragged her to his home where he hit her
again and then stabbed her eleven times. His story failed to convince a
Florida jury, who convicted him of first-degree murder. His mother is
still appealing his conviction based upon the fact that he was given an
adult penalty for his crime.
4. Willie Bosket
Willie
Bosket, born on December 9, 1962, is a convicted murderer, whose
crimes, committed while he was still a minor, led to a change in New York state law,
so that juveniles as young as thirteen could be tried in adult court
for murder and would face the same penalties. On March 19, 1978, Willie
Bosket, then fifteen years old, shot dead Noel Perez on the New York
subway, during an attempt to steal some money and a watch. Eight days
later, Bosket shot another man, Moises Perez (no relation to his first
victim) in another botched robbery attempt. Bosket was tried and
convicted of the murders in the New York City Family court, where he was
sentenced to five years in prison (the maximum for a minor). The short
length of Bosket’s sentence caused a public outcry, and led the New York
State Legislature to pass the Juvenile Offender Act of 1978. Under this
act,children as young as thirteen years old could be tried in an adult
court for crimes such as murder, and receive the same penalties as
adults. New York was the first state to enact a law of this nature; many
other legislatures have since followed suit. Bosket was eventually
released from prison, but has subsequently been convicted of anumber of
other felonies, for which he has received a number of life sentences. He
is currently in the New York prison system, in solitary confinement.
5. Laurie Tackett
On
the morning of Saturday, January 11, 1992, Indiana resident Donn Foley
and his brother Ralph decided to do some quail hunting in a nearby
Jefferson County forest. Just one mile into their trip, as Donn turned
onto Lemon Road, Ralph spotted a strange object just a few feet from the
road in a barren soybean field. At once it appeared to them that it
might be a body, but the form was so badly burned and scarred that it
looked to them to be a doll. Upon closer investigation, it became
painfully obvious that it was not a doll. Upon investigation, it turned
out to be the body of Shanda Sharer who would later be found the victim
of a jealous lesbian love triangle. Her body, prior to the murder, had
been slashed and stabbed with death eventually resulting from torching.
Laurie Tackett was ultimately implicated along with Toni Lawrence and
Hope Rippey.
Mary Laurine (Laurie) Tackett was born on October 5, 1974 in Madison, Indiana. Her mother was a fundamentalist Pentecostal Christian and her father was a factory worker with two felony convictions and prison stints in the 1960s. Tackett claimed she was molested at least twice as a child, at ages five and twelve.

6. Brenda Anne Spencer
On
Monday, January 29, 1979, 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer used a rifle
to wound eight children and one police officer at Cleveland Elementary
School in San Diego, and to kill Principal Burton Wragg and custodian
Mike Suchar. The school was across the street from her house. She used
the rifle she had recently been given for Christmas by her father. When
the six-hour incident ended and the pretty teenager was asked why she
had committed the crime, she shrugged and replied, “I don’t like
Mondays. This livens up the day.” She also said: “I had no reason for
it, and it was just a lot of fun.” “It was just like shooting ducks in a
pond.” and “[Thechildren ] looked like a herd of cows standing around;
it was really easy pickings.” Her lack of remorse and inability to
provide a serious explanation for her actions when captured inspired the
song “I Don’t Like Mondays” by The Boomtown Rats, written by socialist
musician Bob Geldof. Her quote “I don’t like Mondays” also appears
written on a wall in the movie, The Breakfast Club.
7. Jon Venables and Robert Thompson

Jon Venables and Robert Thompson (both 10 years old) had been stealing things all day at the shopping center — candy, a troll doll,
some batteries, a can of blue paint, and other incidentals. Why did
they decide to steal 2 year-old James Bulger? Was it a plot or a sudden,
overwhelming compulsion? Once they had him, they didn’t know what to do
with him. They could have easily discarded him, leaving him alone on
the sidewalk by a shop where someone would discover the crying baby. But
Jon and Robert, likechildren who would rather destroy their own
possessions than give them to another, murdered the little boy. James’s
parents would never see their baby alive again. The video cameras at the mall caught several images of James Bulger in the hands
of his killers, frozen in time. He was to be taken on a long, aimless
walk, cruelly tortured along the way. James was senselessly beaten to
death by his ten-year-old captors, who callously abandoned him on the
railroad tracks.
8. Jesse Pomeroy
Jesse
Pomeroy was 14 when he was arrested in 1874 for the horrific murder of a
four-year-old boy. He was quickly labeled “The Boston Boy Fiend.” His
horrible trek had begun three years earlier with the sexual torture of
seven other boys. For those crimes, Pomeroy was sentenced to achildren
’s reform school but was released early. Not long after, he mutilated
and killed a 10-year-old girl who came into his mother’s store. A month
later, he kidnapped 4-year-old Horace Mullen, took him to a swamp
outside town and slashed him so savagely with a knife that he nearly
decapitated him. Because of his strange appearance (he had a milky white
eye) and his previous abhorrent behavior, he was under suspicion. When
he was shown the body and asked if he’d done it, he responded with a
nonchalant, “I suppose I did.” Then the girl was found buried in his
mother’s cellar and he confessed to that murder, as well. He was
convicted and sentenced to death. Following a public outcry against
condemningchildren to death, his sentence was commuted to forty years of
solitary confinement.
9. Mary Bell
Mary
Bell was convicted of strangling a young boy, Martin Brown, on May 25,
1968, the day before her 11th birthday. She was, as far as anyone knows,
alone on this occasion. On July 31, 1968, Mary and her friend (Norma
Bell – no relation to Mary) took part in the death, again by
strangulation, of three-year-old Brian Howe. Police reports concluded
that Mary Bell had gone back after killing him to carve an “N” into his
stomach with a razor, this was then changed using the same razor but
with a different hand to an “M”. Mary Bell also used a pair of scissors
to cut off bits of Brian Howe’s hair and part of his genitals. As the
girls were so young and their testimonies contradicted each other, it
has never been entirely clear precisely what happened. Martin Brown’s
death was initially ruled an accident as there was no evidence of foul
play. Eventually, his death was linked with Brian Howe’s killing and in
August, the two girls were charged with two counts of manslaughter. Mary
was released in 1980 with court ordered anonymity. In 2003, the courts
awarded her and her daughter anonymity for life.
