The Family of Charles Manson
Charles Manson was influential by influencing all the followers that he had in the 1900’s to kill for him, other murderer’s, and also the singer Marilyn Manson.
Charles Milles Manson (Charles Milles Maddox) was born November 12, 1934 in a large city called Cincinnati, Ohio. Son of Kathleen Maddox and Walker Scott (his biological father). He took William Manson’s last name (Kathleen’s husband). By the age of 16 Kathleen was an alcoholic and a prostitute. She married William Manson before Charles was born, so he never got to know his biological father. Kathleen and William’s marriage didn’t last long, they soon got a divorce. Charles mother didn’t want anything to do with him, so at the age of 13 he had to learn how to take care of his self living on the streets this resulted in stealing, breaking and entering, and petty theft. In result of being abandoned by his mother, all he knew was crime. Charles lived on his own until he was caught by authorities for trespassing on an abandoned train. He was placed in an all boys home named Father Flanagan's Boys Town. A few days after arriving there he escaped with another boy and committed two armed robberies. Around 1952, Manson was spending time in and out of jail. He was a “Model Prisoner” by the age of 17. This was just the beginning of Manson’s criminal record.
In 1955 Manson married a 17 year old girl named Rosalie Jean Willis, they both agreed to move to California and get married. She later became pregnant, but left Manson shortly after because he continued his life of crime. It was 1956 and Manson was back behind bars for stealing automobiles.

...er criminals who want to be ‘pimps’, other cults, and just murderers in general. Who knows, someone could cosplay what Manson and his followers had done in a few years or so.
I picked Charles Manson to do this project on because it would have been cliche of me to pick someone who has done good in life. I think we should recognize the negative impacts in life as well as the positives. I personally really like shows that involve crime because I always want to know why they do what they do. It just fascinates me that someone can have that much control over someone to make them believe what you believe, no matter how messed up it is. I really liked learning more about Charles Manson and his Family because it’s just the type of thing I’m interested in. It honestly intrigues me how people commit such massive crimes and not have a single guilty bone in their body.

A biography of Charles states that his mother didn’t want anything to do with him so he lived on the streets committing minor crimes (“Charles Manson Biography”). Charles’s mother robbed him of a normal childhood with a loving family. Reports on Manson stated that he was “suffering from a ‘marked degree of rejection, instability, and psychic trauma’” (“Charles Manson Biography”). Charles later married a 17 year old woman who left him for another man due to his return to prison (“Charles Manson Biography”). Once again, Charles was abandoned by someone he loved. After his time in jail, Manson obsessed over cult-quasi-religious groups and he took on the role of a cult leader because he believed the world to be “doomed” (“Charles Manson Biography”). Charles then formed his cult from a group of unstable people. He persuaded his group to believe that he was of a higher power; therefore, they followed him like a god.

    Manson had a rocky childhood and family life. Some experts say that he was a bad seed because of the fact that he did not know his father (Bugliosi 28). Kathleen Maddox was considered by some to be a teenage whore. About his mother, Manson says, "For Mom, life was filled with a never-ending list of denials…In her search for acceptance she may have fallen in love too easily and too often, but a whore at that time? No!…In later years, because of some hard knocks and tough times, she may have sold her body some…" Charlie lived with his mother until the age of 5, when she was arrested for armed robbery (FAQ's 1). She was released from prison in 1942. Manson, after living with various relatives, such as a religious aunt and a sadistic uncle who called him a sissy and made him wear girl's clothes on the first day of school ("Charles"), moved back in with his mother for five more years. At that time, she placed him at the Gibault School for Boys in Indiana. After escaping from the School, he committed several burglaries and was placed into the famous Boys Town in Nebraska (FAQ's 1).
