Description
The Most Disturbing Cases of Youngest Serial Killers
⚠️ Content warning: this video discusses real crimes committed by children. Nothing is described graphically, but the subject matter is disturbing.
They were children. That's what makes these cases impossible to look away from. A girl who killed before her eleventh birthday. A boy sentenced to hang at fourteen. A teenager who murdered his own grandparents and told police he just wanted to know what it felt like. These are the youngest killers in recorded history — and the childhoods that made them.
None of these children were born as what they became. Every one of them was, at some point, just a kid the world was already failing.
We cover Mary Bell, Jesse Pomeroy, Edmund Kemper, Craig Price, Willie Bosket, Peter Woodcock, and Harvey Robinson.
