Who is Charles Manson?

Origin Charles Manson was born in Ohio , the son of an unwed teenage mother, Kathleen Maddox. He was probably the son of an otherwise unidentified Colonel Scott, but was given the surname of his stepfather, William Manson, instead. His mother was probably an alcoholic, and allegedly traded him for a pitcher of beer when he was a baby. At the age of five he was placed in the care of his uncle and aunt while his mother served a sentence in prison. Three years later he was collected by his mother, who raised him in a series of low-rent motel rooms until the age of thirteen, when she attempted to have him placed in foster care. This attempt failed and he was instead placed in the Gibault School for Boys, where he remained for ten months before fleeing the school and returning to his mother, who turned him away. Manson then turned to crime in order to provide for himself, committing a series of burglaries throughout the region before being caught and sent to a juvenile centre, from which he promptly escaped. This freedom was short-lived, and he was sent to Boys Town, from which he also escaped four days later.
