Mary Bell - 10 yr. old girl who killed her playmates

Some serial killers are psychotics and you can't blame the parents and the educators. I have pity for parents of a psychotic child.

I guess there must be something wrong with her, I got hooked up on her story but I read this 5 years ago so now I almost forgot the details but never forget what she did. There are still other children who kill if you want to read more of the story on that site. But this girl's story is really different, she is indeed psychotic cause she's serial killer.

Very evil child.

You know, I enjoy watching suspense thriller movies. But when I red this story to the link provided here, my heart melted like butter under the heat of the sun. Never it entered my mind that a 10 year old sweet looking girl could be a cold blooded killer.

Yah, it was so scary! Her family should be blame for what happened to her, she wasn't treated right.

She had paid for what she did, she was raped on her teenage years.

I would like to watch Bad Seed too. This story is like story of Children of the Corn, have you watch that? Wow this children are very much misdirected. I cannot take the movie.

It was more sinister that Children of the Corn that was about children who were pagans and took the pagan religion to the part that most people do not consider, human sacrifice. The Bad Seed is about a perfect looking child who is morally evil and a born psychopath. It extends on the idea that just as the people before the Flood were perfect in body, and yet their minds were evil. It is based on the theory that the more perfect looking, handsome and beautiful a person is, the more they are devoid of goodness. At the end of the story, the mother of the evil girl has another baby and the baby is so perfect and angelic and is still born. The underlying message in it is if that baby had lived, she would have wound up like her sister, evil and devoid of conscience. So in Children of the Corn, they were influenced by a false pagan religion, but in the Bad Seed, the girls were born completely evil. I do not know what is worse, but in the Children of the Corn, the message was that not all religions that worship nature are good. The pagan gods of the past were cruel and they demand much from their worshippers.

Well, maybe she was 'destined' to be born as a killer? Just like hitler is destined to be a dictator? Maybe that was her destiny..

I get confused how this people do gruesome crimes and disturbing acts just like that in that year where media do not show movies of crimes that much and where people are much kind and religious compare now .

Yes, it just so sad that at her young age, she already matured in terms of killings.

I know its very sad just like in the past people wear teached to think of black people as just property and slaves.

Same here, I like watching and reading true crime and bizarre stories and how the crime solved.

I think at the end she got married and have a family, I still did not read her story again. All she needs is a good guidance from adults so she can forgot what she did and move on and be a better person.

Most of the reason why serial killers and notorious murderers kills is the family background. But some are naturally born like that.

Thanks, I got curious in this story. It's an eye opener to all of us this such child as this truly exist.

It's so scary and to think that happens sometime ago, how much more? Children at this time is very aggressive and they think more mature for their age.

I don't know if they release a book about her story and if there is I don't know the title. Have you read her story in the link attached to my discussion? That's where I read about her.

I finally re-read the story after almost 5 years, and it was found out that her mother is a hooker and he step-father is a thief. Her mother didn't want her and never treated her right. Her step-father love her but after he was put to jail, his visit to Mary stop. She was then put into a good care and later got pregnant and became a good mother to her child.

but this happen long time ago when tv's are not that popular. Maybe she has a problem on her mind or brain, it's very unusual.

Nobody will ever imagine a kid can kill a kid like her and in the way how she killed those poor kids, it's like she is just playing. Very horrible, that is why I shared her story to you guys. Take a good care of your children and never trust to someone you don't really know.

Yes, she is psychotic cause she did the killings many times. I will read her story again to refresh my mind.

Did you read the whole story? I read that 5 years ago and I'm getting oblivious this days so I forgot the ending but I think they let her go in the end and she had a normal married life, if I am not mistaken. I will read it again one of this days.
