How Did Wuornos Become A Traumatic Childhood?

Do you ever wonder why someone turned out the way they are? Like Charles Manson, what exactly does it take to create a cult leader that kills innocent people? Charles Manson is currently 82 and serving a life sentence at Corcoran State Prison. He is facing charges of first degree murder of nine people and conspiracy. He was originally sentenced to death, but in 2012, California abolished the death penalty, so it was changed to life without parole. Since then Manson has been denied parole 12 times, the last time being in 2012. Manson’s mother and the childhood she gave him is identified as a main cause of his merciless behavior and life. He also is seen to have the mental illness of schizophrenia, and found himself in music, which inspired his crimes later in life.

Wuornos firmly believed that she had killed all of these men, especially Richard Mallory, out of self-defense. There was clearly a rage in her toward men, which could have something to do with her father being absent all of her life, her grandfather being an abusive alcoholic, and her getting raped and impregnated at the age of fourteen. “’There could well be a violent man in her past with whom she had such an experience, (and) under certain conditions years later she found a way to respond. In a way, Mallory had been the conduit for her rage,’ says psychologist Phyllis Chesler” (Bankston, 1996). She learned at a young age that she could earn money for having sex with men. Since she was kicked out of her house at only fifteen, she had to turn to hitchhiking and prostitution for survival. Already at this point in her life she had a very low IQ and undoubtedly had been very psychologically damaged due to her

At the time of the murders, Lizzie was not convicted of the murders. Recent discoveries have shown much evidence that Lizzie should have been convicted.

Andrea Yates case is known as one of the horrifying murderer events that had happened in Texas. Also she is the most hated woman in the United States because of her cruel crime, of murdering her five children one by one in the bathtub just because she thinks that they were doomed to hell because their parents sins.

Trauma will affect children’s development because it does give an impact to their emotion that relate to their behaviour. Traumatise children likely will develop fear and tend to be too sensitive into something that may remind them of the trauma and possibility being aggressive in such a way thinking they need to protect themselves.

Although she did have depression she received help from medical doctors and was prescribed drugs to help her with that. However, Andrea made efforts to not take the drugs even so far as going by faking it to others that she did take the drug when she really didn’t.

Which also shows that she had a mentality to help and do something

Psychosocial theories "work from the viewpoint that deviant sexual behavior is a response to external factors and that there is an interconnection between psychological and sociological variables that influence sexual behavior. Sexual behavior is a learned response to particular conditions, and deviant sexual behavior is the outcome of inappropriate socialization.

During her adult life, she would turn to prostitution as a means of survival. Aileen pattern when conducting a murder involved attracting her victims by offering sex in exchange for money.

Lizzie Borden was the axe murderer no doubt about it because all the signs pointed to no other than Lizzie herself.

Lizzie is a true mastermind to have gotten away with murder because there is no other explanation to Lizzie's parents brutal death.
