Charles Manson was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on November 12, 1934 his real name was no name Maddox. Kathleen Maddox, a 16-year-old prostitute was Charlie’s mother. Kathleen and her brother were sentenced to five years in prison for robbing a West Virginia gas station. Charlie was sent off to live with a religious aunt and her husband, who always made fun of Charlie calling him a "sissy," dressing him in girl's clothing and saying that this would make Charlie a man of . Kathleen got out of Prison in 194 and got her son back, but was not a good mother. Kathleen left Charlie with neighbors saying she would only be gone for an hour then would disappeared for days or weeks, leaving relatives to track Charlie. By 1947

, Kathleen was looking for a foster home for her son, but found none Charlie ended up in the Gibault School for Boys, in Terre Haute, Indiana, but ran away after ten months, going back to his mother. She still didn't want him, and so Charlie started to live on the streets, making a living by steeling. Arrested in Indiana, he escaped from the juvenile hall after one day. When he got caught he was sent to Father Flanagan's Boy's Town, it was four days before he escaped again, getting away in a stolen car to visit relatives in Illinois.

An feeling of panic gripped Los Angels., the horrible crimes showing that no one was safe.
