life of a small innocent boy or girl seems unfathomable because it’s often in human nature to want to protect and care for children, not harm them.

moments alive were tortuous ones. Serial killers who focus their horri c crimes on children are often considered among the highest level of evil.
Many of these serial killers of children include torture, mutilation, and sexual assault among their crimes against children.

young victims. A few of the vicious killers on this list were also mothers who took the lives of their own children due to mental illness. Many serial
killers of children work as nurses and other career paths where access to children is all too easy.
This list of some of the worst child killers is recorded history features serial murders from all over the world. Who are the most famous serial killers
