Charles Manson
Charles Manson is known as one of the most sinister and evil criminals of all time. He
organized the murders that shocked the world and his name still strikes fear into American
hearts. Mansons childhood, personality, and uncanny ability to control people led to the
creation of a family-like cult and ultimately to the bloody murders of numerous innocent
people. Charles M. Manson was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on November 11, 1934. His
mother, Kathleen Maddox, was a teenage prostitute. Mansons father walked out on the
still pregnant Maddox, never to be seen again. In order to give her bastard son a name,
Ms. Maddox married William Manson. He soon abandoned the both of them. Mansons
mother often neglected Charles after her husband left her. She tried to put him into a
foster home, but the arrangements fell through. As a last resort she sent Charles to school
in Terre Haute, Indiana. Mrs. Manson failed to make the payments for the school and once
again Charles was sent back to his mothers abuse. At only fourteen, Manson left his
mother and rented a room for himself. He supported himself with odd jobs and petty theft.
