As a criminal psychologist, I can tell you that while upbringing can influence the development of a serial killer, it is never the sole cause. Many individuals endure far more traumatic childhoods than Ted Bundy’s and still become productive members of society without ever engaging in criminal behavior. The primary driver in most cases is sexual deviance, which can stem from various factors. In my experience, many offenders began using pornography at a young age, which desensitized them to normal sexual stimuli and led them to seek more extreme forms of pornography to achieve the same level of excitement. Similar to how a drug addict escalates to more potent substances, these individuals often develop dark fantasies that eventually manifest in real-world actions, seeking out the most morally reprehensible outlets for their urges-murder and desecration of bodies. Lust murderers (serial killers like Bundy, Dahmer, and Gacy) is one of the most significant categories of killers. With the increasing accessibility of pornography, I fear that the number of serial killers will rise in the coming years. Social media may exacerbate this trend, potentially giving rise to even more dangerous individuals. I hope I'm wrong, but the signs are troubling.
Oh yes it could be. Its called maternal rejection and is behind most serial killer's traumas. I have borderline with psychopathic traits directly because my mother chose johns over her kids. When rage begins at 2 it has a LONG time to grow and fester. Society was simply saved because i had a brother, close in age, to share the trauma...ie someone i could count on, did not hate. When you hate your parents you have a hard time loving others but a really easy time hating others.
@@stoneneils That is you. I haven't read any research suggestion this is a reason for psychopathy. In fact many children doesn't simply hate their parents even if they feel neglected/rejected. More so that thet would wish to be loved and have this very complicate feeling spectrum where they both love and feel anger and hate against their parents. And Ted Bundy didn't lack maternity figure, from what I know he was really close to his grandmother, whom he thought was his mother.
Eric Clapton learned that his sister, 15 years older than him, was really his mother when he was 11. He turned all of that angst into becoming one of the most well-known guitar players in history. He made a lot of really bad decisions but ultimately he chose life over death without ever meeting his father.
He’s the most overrated guitar player of all time…not saying I wish he’d turned out like Bundy instead, I’m just saying I wouldn’t really refer to his “playing” as much of an accomplishment.
@@BMF-k1hlol he still accomplished more than most and under the circumstances. He as well as Keanu reeves are those that aren’t classed as being the best if good at all but they still have a lot of “f my trauma” I’m going to make a success and still be a good person as well as a renowned artist or actor.
@@simoneelizabeth8595It’s not an accomplishment if it’s undeserving. He was in the right place at the right time and fed off of people’s sheep like nature to mould this false image of himself as being this “great guitar player”. I’d rather be unrecognised and brilliant than recognised and terrible.
My parent steve would force me to look into his black eyes while he was shouting at me😒 I could feel him looking through me.. and there is truly nothing there in the eyes..
@@VioletJoyhe/she is not saying that at all! Read a comment from a psychologist! She touches on that besides upbringing there are a bunch of other factors that makes up an evil individual!
He had a more stable life than many who do not become serial killers. I've known orphan siblings, growing up in the harsh abandonment of an orphanage, who become medical doctors with fruitful lives.
I believe some ppl are born "bad". Or have genetical problems from birth which have the potential for severe mental and behavioral problems later on. When these ppl experience some forms of abuse or traumatic events in childhood, this can trigger the already present nefarious genes. Not every child who is abused or experiences severe trauma at an early age turns out to be a sociopath, a psychopath, or serial killer....But ALMOST ALL serial killers etc. is abused or traumatized as a child.
There are studies showing children with loving parents trying to kill their parents. Plus so many adolescents killed loving parents. Don't know about serial killers past, but some psycopaths don't need abuse to kill. Also ted bundy as far as i know had loving women around him. He was loved and a loved child loves back. Given the prejudices those days, an adolescent could have easely accepted he was 'tricked' bc that secret had to be kept away from public. He was not abused by women. I know men with loving mothers and abusive fathers who in turn become abusive to their nice caring wifes. It's fathers fault, a little boy will internalize his male adult caretaker.
You very well may have hit the nail right on the head! What you theorized makes such perfect sense. Well said and in my opinion very likely exactly what it was/is. You have Spidey senses 😉😁 Pretty smart, ya are.
True. For me? Not all of my relatives were trash. They reached out to me to help me learn what was never going to be taught to me by my mother. I also had some great teachers, friends, who all embraced me growing up. Showing me that what was taught did not have to be my reality. Ted was shy internally. He was a good actor though. So he could play a person very unlike who he was. He was a chameleon. Never showing his true inner self. People do this professionally. Ted did it for survival and to continue life as a criminal.
Others smoked and they never got lung cancer, doesn't mean you won't or other's don't. Nobody else had Ted's life and if they did they'd be a serial killer too.
I've seen the good inside people come up for air and then get drown3d out again. I think people's anger blinds them so they want to believe he is lying. He probably wasn't. There's no motive as he wasn't getting out and he had no remorse. Anger can be just as blinding as being a psychopath. Just in case anyone had a pedestal they wanted to stand on.
Waaayyyy too much sob story bullsh*t! Millions upon millions of people grow up in horendous family situations and CHOOSE not to be hateful serial killers.
Yes, but it has been proven that psychopaths have a part of the brain that doesn’t function correctly, so that combined with child abuse, the fact that he could be a product of inc*st, plus all the abandonment issues created a very resentful vindictive person. Many people have that part of the brain that doesn’t fire, but they’ve also had a good stable family environment. Unfortunately, all his experiences just created the “perfect storm” for a horrible unrepentant monster.
so is this going to be an excuse for serial killers? my father brothers abused me 6 to 16 i thought it was normal so they abandoned me and I wouldn't not trust men ever again I didn't get into drugs .no killing spree
@@da---536excuse? No. Explanation? Yes. You take credit for sth what was not your choice - your biological and chemical makeup. Thank your chance or god, whatever. You were lucky. And what you show is just pathetic self centered narrow mindedness.
@@da---536I'm sorry you went through this, but every human beeing on earth is different. There are so many parts to build one single person. It's not an excuse, it's an explenation because there is a pattern for these people and many people aren't born this way. They are build this way.
I personally know three other families that had similar situations. It's a stretch to think that this led Ted Bundy to become a serial killer. He was a very sick man.
He had a predisposition for personality disorder that was triggered by trauma. It's not nature vs nurture - it's nature and nurture combined that makes us who we are. People with a psychopathic brain who grow up in healthy homes become CEOs and surgeons.
@@anonymoose116 ASPD, anti social personality disorder - aka Psychopathy is an inborn issue. The debate was settled in the late 90’s, as that is when brain scan could show the necessary detail to researchers to prove the fundamental differences between a neurotypical and neurodivergent brains. Psychopaths have an underdeveloped pre frontal cortex, which is where many of emotion and feeling centers of the brain are. They also universally present with underdeveloped amygdala’s, which is related to low emotion, low impulse control, but it is even more importantly it is where the fight or flight response develops. People born with ASPD across the board have little to no feeling and poor impulse control. They are much less fearful than their neurotypical counterparts. However they are logical and calculating. A good environment may very slightly impact the development of a psychopath, but there are thousands of cases where parents that were perfectly good to their children ended up with absolute monsters and there is nothing they could’ve done to change it.
I see it clearly, how this could affect a child negatively and lead to great disappointment and anger, PLUS, how he was bullied in school and let down by his first love. If you don't, it's a sign your psychological skills are still developping.
Psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made. Sometimes a psychopath gets subjected to the circumstances that create a sociopath then you've got a while new level of crazy.
How he was raised didn’t make him a killer. He had that inside him when he was born. Lots of children have worse childhoods and don’t grow up to be serial rapists and killers.
Pfff people try to find excuses to monsters and try to understand why they did the evil deeds they've done , we à have been abused and grew up in very hard environments but we didn't turn into psycho murderers or cowards l'île serial killers
Absolutely 💯 I know some kids didn't turn out too well even with great parents but you have a better chance of having a good children with good parents!
Just as important to pay attention in case you have child with serious personality disorders. Though no hope for Bundy. He studied Psyche but maybe back then it never went deep enough to explain his madness. To abused children. I found it bothersome to fit into the troubled spot. We have no choice in how we were raised or who raised us. If we are motivated? We will try to learn the important behaviors that were never taught at home. Back then too. Men spoke very poorly about females. We were nags, a burden, hags, only good for one thing. Even our being mothers was a problem to many. This kind of talk also feeds more resentment toward our gender.
Not really -- if your child is born a Psychopath, there's basically nothing you can do to stop the condition from forming -- it's essentially a kind of brain damage. Psychopathy is far more influenced by genetics than environment.
The things that people did back then, so people would not find out that a child was born out of wedlock. Years ago I met a girl who found herself in that position, whenever people visited her family home her parents would tell her to hide under the house. People were so concerned of the neighbours finding out.
He actually wanted to stop k!ll!ng. He said it to his wife. But he just couldnt. He probably had mental problems and he also said that he had that urge that he wanted to shut down but he just couldnt. Maybe if he had a normal childhood he wouldnt start k!ll!ng
@@hazgoldberg i am not. Im just trying to explain that not all people who do bad things are bad people. Plus if you looked him up youd see that he had a bad childhood and most of the serial oofers have bad childhood. and what does that tell us? Those people are not born evil and they have smth in their brain messed up. im not justifiying im just show you his point of view. And yall forget that they are people too and they also have their side of the story. Most of the time people dont talk about that part which is bad bc if people knew that childhood trauma can make someone do this then i think that parents would try to be more responsible.
He was abusive in his relationships by being unable to be faithful to anyone and humiliated them by flirting and giving his phone out right in front of his present girlfriend (By Angelica Houston)
Jack Nicholson was loved though and he was surrendered by woman all his life with nice woman so he become cheeky as a result of that so it wasn’t bad for him.
Eleanor Louise Cowell was born on September 22, 1924, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She had a difficult childhood, with an abusive father Samuel Cowell and a depressed mother Eleanor Cowell. The family also had a concerning psychiatric history.
He wasn’t abandoned, he was raised within his own nuclear family. How is that abandonment? Sure it’s a lie. He wasn’t left outside in a cardboard box at the local bodega for someone to fine and notify the police.
He said he had a really normal childhood. Like Jeffrey Dahmer had good parents especially his dad I've never seen or heard anything from his mom but his dad seems like a good man, I actually feel sorry for him because he really tried to find out what his son's malfunction was. That sick 💩 was bent from birth I really believe that.
@@Boo-dawg.in Jeffrey’s case he watched his dad dissect dead animals and grew curious of that so he would pick up dead animals to feel their insides than the trauma from when his mom left with his brother and left him there to survive made him feel alone and worthless. He already had sexual fantasies of control from 14 he said so he connected all those things together … and he grew up with violent porn and alcohol a lot so that deff didn’t help.
My husband's aunt was actually his cousin. Same scenario as what was described here. Nobody in that family ever killed anyone. That was more common than people realized back in the day for unwed teenage mothers
Evil isn't real. It is a concept. A person are shaped by there upbringing. It's downright insulting to call a psycopath evil just for some psycopath's being killers
@@gordianknot6867they deserve to be separate from us, if he did what he did to YOUR sister/daughter you would want his head on a stick, he’s a foul soul, he was smart and manipulative, so he obviously knew right from wrong and CHOSE to be a vile human being to young girls he encountered
Evil is a broad word that is not based in science and can mean something different to everyone. I understand why his actions cause emotionally charged comments. But some people want to actually understand his behaviour from a social science perspective, which is much more interesting in my opinion.
I'm not defending bundy by any means, he's a monster, but I truly believe his "grandfather" was the antidote, or justification, for his horrible crimes. But like a true pschoiopath, ted never admitted his true feelings. If he did, it was Only for his well-being. A true pschoiopath.
Because pretty much every criminal out there has a traumatic backstory that played a big part in making them killers. Nobody is born a villain. Ted Bundy may have had certain genetic wiring that made him more susceptible to narcissistic and psychopathic acts, but they just needed nurturing. Everyone is a human being, including criminals like Ted Bundy, and they deserve to be understood and you should always try to help them get better. Now, before you jump to conclusions, that doesn’t mean criminals like him shouldn’t face justice for their crimes, but you can still help them rehabilitate. Jeffrey Dahmer became a Christian and was still going to face life in prison before his early death.
It was the whole family Dynamics. His mother pretending to be his sister, his grandfather violent and abusive, his grandmother was abused by his grandfather and she was in and out of Mental Hospitals. And that's what we just know, can you imagine what we don't know? That's where he learned lying and deceiving. And experienced physical violence. Then his mother moves with him and marries and has three other children. When his mother was on the witness stand in court, she seems very odd to me. None of this is any excuse at all!! Then you throw in the unknown father, possibly his grandfather? Much much more went on in this family then he said or the mother said! Pornography was just an excuse, he wanted to con that minister.
Rough childhoods happen all the time though. My best friends dad left their family of four boys to marry a woman with four kids and then came back later. My friend drove him around to his medical appointments as he was dying and then he left everything to his step kids. He didn't go nuts and start chopping people up. Bundy would put makeup and lipstick on severed heads. That depravity isn't taught. That's being born evil
Well.. I think a more proper way to say that is that she was made to pretend like she was his sister. How horrible would that be? You're with your child but you have to act like your parents are your child's parents too and you're just his sister. I would imagine one would have ro lie to themselves so much until they accept and believe it. This family dynamic was really messed up.
Ted Bundy said that his exposure to porn as a young boy would be in the neighbors trash he told Dr. James Dobson in his last interview, hours before his execution that porn had played a big role in his life and he was wanting to help Dr Dobson on his mission to have stricter laws about the distribution of pornographic material. He said it's evil and leads to nothing good if the right person with the wrong intentions gets access to it. He already had issues with women because of his mother and porn just makes women look like the trash he thought they were. He said if he hadn't found those magazines things may have went completely different in his life. Who knows? But that's what he said. And I agree, porn is disgusting and something is wrong with people that have to watch other people have sex. It's belittling towards women and they are usually in magazines and on film to support a drug habit and just survive. No one in their right mind says I want to have sex with hundreds of men for a career and be treated like trash and abused by the creeps in these movies. You have to act and allow men to treat you like garbage because even they don't have any respect and I guess there's no point when a woman has no self-respect and no porn star has self-respect I don't care what they say. That's almost funny if it weren't so tragic. Those women were someone's child at one time. But someone took hold of their life and ruined it.
Its full of women that love to host thousands of men genitals and that love to have countless orgasms and being payed and famous for it. Women are no angels, they are way more materialistic than men generally, and have less dignity. Open any social and you will see how women are obsessed with sex and body exposure since a very early age. They exploit men on onlyfans etc. by being total thots without shame. Many are also masochists, and love the DARK TRIAD: narcissism-machiavellianism-psychopathy. The philosopher Weininger made interesting observations about women. Just the truth.
U are right about women who are subjected to this kind of horrendeous abuse. Also, i don't think a sane man can enjoy watching other people being intimate, let alone anjoy a man using a woman for his pleasure. Even if most of them enjoy porn or pay women for pleasure, that doesn't make them whole decent kind humans. Who would want that to their mothers and daughters? All of us women are God's creatures. As for ted bundy, his mother LOVED him. Ted knew women would have been harshly judged for having a child out of wedlock. An adolescent would have understood and accepted that. As for porn, many children like it, my scool mates started watching at 11 or 12 years old. If porn would turn boys into serial killers, then the raping and killing of women would become legal, simply because most men would do it. Does it make sense? As for the final interview, ted was looking for a naive person to save him from death penalty. That man who came and emphatized with ted, really believed ted, that porn was to blame. He was very very naive. One short look caught on camera shows ted's eyes were mischevious. During the interview he had a repenting face, but never straightforward said he was to blame - repenting people openly admit it. He kept saying he was not looking for excuses, all the while acting the opposite way by blaming it all on porn. Towards the end of the interview, that man pitied him but never said he would ask for the death penalty to be removed. For a second time, for less than a second ted looked at that man with pure hatred, disgust and RAGE that even though he wasted so much time explaining, the old fool never thought of helping him. That man was only happy his theory that porn was dangerous was acknowleged, he pitied bundy but believed his death was necessary to pay for his sins. Oh, that look on budy's face! his face twisted from evil, he had just an evil dark look! I will always remember it, i have never seen a face distorted and darkened by evil to that extent! That face!
I thought that was the caused but Ig it should've been because of his mother it does make sense. Don't know why he didn't say this happen instead of the porn magazine
@@JOHNRipper-hh4sm his mother loved him. But he might have been dissapointed bc his mother had him with a man she didn't marry. Yet we are privileged to live in a world where ppl don't start murdering other ppl for their traumas. There are plenty of ppl who went through horrific childhoods struggling witb depression that are behaved. If our traumas led to murder that would be practically all that everyone did, with a few exceptions.
This has been the case with a number of famous people. Jack nicholson thought his sister was his mother for well into adulthood. There were others who i can't remember.
@@MindbodyMedic yes its a well known fact. Google it. I already left this response but youtube has a bug up their ass and deleted it for reasons known only to them.
The part that they always skip or don't give enough consideration to is the fact that his mother left him alone for 6 months in the home for unwed mothers. 3 months is a long fucking time to be left alone as an infant. It had to have affected him deeply. And who knows what happened during those 6 months.
Having thought your mother was your sister, hardly the most traumatic of childhoods. Many thousands had grown up the same. They did not kidnap and kill.
he chose to be who he was. troubles in life come to us all. some of the ppl who have had it the worst are the finest ppl-very often the poorest are the most generous. and wealth is seldom about money. a jerk has made choices too
I'll never understand the women...what makes them feel attracted to him? I mean, see those mugshots ? To me it's unsettling frightening to look into his eyes as he creeps me out. Even despite me knowing that his body's now cooked through well above medium rare
Lots of people come from these situations but don’t become killers, I’ve heard it’s a cocktail of different aspects coming together that’s why even if your a psychopath it doesn’t mean your a killer, there are so many different types some apparently do society good, head of business’s, doctors, surgeons, clergy, show business, etc are all professions that have a high ratio of psychopaths, any positions of power or jobs at the top or indeed surgeons especially bone, heart and brain surgeons, have to make split second decisions and be ruthless enough to carry them out.
A turbulent childhood may trigger certain behaviours, depending on the brain physiology, how the brain is affected by the trauma it experiences. That's why not everyone with a turbulent childhood becomes a serial killer. On any case, science is discovering that people are ultimately automatons; not responsible for their criminal actions.
There were members of my family that grew up in this manner... It seems a usual thing back in those days for children of unwed mother's to be raised by the grandparents and made to believe their mother is their sister... My family members didn't come out killers... There's much more to his psychosexual disorder than just this that everyone gets hung up on... And it has more to do with the types of pornographic books and material he was consuming as well as his animal cruelty and the continual amplification of these deviations
I read his story and a friend in the neighborhood mocked him and told him he was a bastard, born out of wedlock. But his mother and grandparents, telling him all his childhood that his mother was his sister, to him was deceptive, and traumatic.. In a sense, which is true, he was lied to. He felt betrayed. He didn't know who his real dad was. His mom was a teenager mother., and to cover up the family scandal, the grandparents adopted him. Was that enough to kill all those young women? No.. but in his mind, the rage, and betrayal was so overwhelming mentally. He acted out as an adult by deceiving the young women, and killing them. A false sense of power or control, something he never had as a child. He really wanted to killl his mom for denying and lying to him. But who kills their mom. Right? Instead he kills young women who resembled his Mom. He just went crazy. and went on a killing spree until he got caught. So sad
No. So evil. Many, many children have traumatic childhoods & become responsible adults. Bundy demonstrated evil traits in early childhood when he knew nothing about his parents. You need to read a bit more about him & stop rationalising a rapist, murderer & necrophiliac. What's sad is the up to 100 young women (one only 12yrs old) whose lives were ended by this savage monster - and their grieving families!
My grandparents adopted my cousin, which is my aunts child. She was raised by my grandparents as their child so she thought for her whole childhood that her mother was her sister and I thought my cousin was my aunt yeah! None of us are serial killers! Can’t say, I can make the connection with it! Yes, it’s weird. Yes it’s wrong. Yes it’s confusing . No it does not make you a killer in my opinion.
I don't think it's weird but courageous and brave when a blood relative stands up to adopt and raise the child amongst family so that at least the child has some semblance of family roots. The knowledge of being told you're adopted is or can be difficult whether by family or strangers.
Exactly! It is usually having people who abused or neglect a child and/or even just watching an abuser abuse your own mom or grandma or family member, and no one helping stop the abuse, by restoring the family together again! Police and courts make things worse! A real bible believing Church should be helping reunite and hold families accountable to follow Christ! It could even be a Church or “friends” or other family or police or others who divide the family by enabling abuse and neglect of children like Bundy! Usually it is that a child or young adult or even an adults is being treated like an idol (no Christlike accountability) and therefore they become spoiled and feel entitled, and this leads people to become abusive!
My grandma's nephew was brought up as her brother as his mother died when he was 16 months old.. so he thought his grandma and grandad were his parents. Surprisingly he didn't kill anyone
I was adopted by my grandparents, my mother was my sister. My grandparents adopted my mother also. My father was a nasty bastard and my mother/ grandmother ditched me at 10 on anyone who would take me. My brotherinlaw sexually molested me at 8. IM NOT A FUCKING SERIAL KILLER.
I'll never understand the women...what makes them feel attracted to him? I mean, watch the video again. See those mugshots or ID photos? This guy creeps me out, even despite me knowing that his body's now cooked through well above medium rare
I don't believe that bundy thinks he is being funny, that is the face of evil,betrayal. Its an evil smirk . Seen it before, unfortunately had a boyfriend with that exact smirk and he had twisted, sexual fantasies loved porn and did disgusting sexual acts with many, tried to get me into it. No! I got far away from him. He would smirk like that when we argued about his disgusting sexual perversions. He would and still does, have sex with numerous people, married or not, couples, ect. It's disgusting, makes me sick to my stomach even typing this.

Rubbish , there have been many children that have led really hard childhoods and never turned out to psychopaths. One choses to be evil, one is not born evil !
@@donsarderidiculous..of course his childhood impacted his mind and emotions..this video is not saying what he did was right, only to have a perspective and understanding of a psychotic person..you are dealing only with your emotions, not with an analygous analytical thought process...
Oh BS...some people are just pure evil. Evil exists everywhere. People have endured worse situations and became responsible, hard-working people. Seek Christ, he saves!!
I agree with this statement, yes Ted Bundy couldn’t trust any women because of his own mother who lied to him for several years . But I think that this is not an excuse for what he did to all those poor young women he met years later as an adult . Perhaps he needed therapy but I guess nobody was interested in him . I think loneliness was a big part of his life and personality , he shrank into depression and he never got out of it not really . As a kid any human being needs a role model to grow up and become an adult but in his case … who was the role model ? Nobody . So how could he have learned to trust anybody …
I feel the same way about men. Had a narcissistic male friend who wanted to date me. Now days I find it better to just get rid of the opposite gender. Yet, without me even trying sometimes men still bring their shit in my lane. I don't flirt, date, or approach the opposite gender and due to my aspergers I am generally happier without romantic relationships.
Just like back then, the same as now, women still cant be trusted, almost cant blame him for how he turned out, the evil in him started with his own mum
‘Almost in a bit of a survival mode?” Vague and minimizing description of what for a child under 3-4 years would be brain altering for certain….which is weird an “Expert” would give such a description.
There is an amazing survivor of childhood abuse and trauma, his name is David Pelzer. Hes not a serial killer. Its BS that Bundys childhood has anything to do with him being an awful human being.
I read all 3 of Dave Pelzer's books and I wish I had never read them because of the horrendous abuse by his own mother. She tortured him and taught his siblings to ignore the abuse. His dad was a Fireman who ignored his own son's abuse. 😢

I know a girl who got pregnant young, had the baby, and her parents raised the boy as her brother, never telling him the truth… which he inevitably will learn. I’ve always thought that was a very bad idea.
Thank you for that in depth information. I remember Bundy talking about his porn addiction to Dr. James Dobson. I thought he was just making an excuse, but I now see there was more to it. What you said about easy access and social media is truly frightening.
My husband found out that his brother was only his half brother and that his dad whom he called his dad all his life ,well until he learned he wasn’t. I believe he was around 25 years old when he found out, it hurt him deeply, but he didn’t go killing people, and he did not have the desire to kill people. He was angry and he felt deceived, but that’s about it.
I think its just being said he developed a resentment towards women. Perhaps a seed was planted that was nurtured by escalating deviant behavior. It may not be one sole thing but the sum of many.
I read his birth father was actually his maternal grandfather. His mother was an unwed mother so because of the times she was sent away. Supposedly, after his delivery she wanted to put him up for adoption but her dad wouldn’t allow it
There are none righteous no not one. ALL have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. For God so❤Loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever shall believe on Him Shall have eternal life.
Every person, regrdless of a natural temperament is born with a tendency to do good and bad things in life. His upbringing was clearly very bad and twisted, what baffled psychiatrist at the time of his evaluations was his surface sanity. However it is appearent that internally he was extremelly disconnected with a normal social life. His tough temperament didn't help at all, he didn't even question his motives. It is quite possible that he never really formed his personality and in that regard he was autistic. All that points in a direction of an extreme mental ilness, but a tricky one. He didn't succeed in changing himself, it was easier to him to just go with his twisted ego and to bring enormous destruction in society. Even if he realized the degree of his foul deeds, his brain was simply set for malignancy, in other words he failed to discover the normal rhytm of a social life, he didn't feel it. Now these things can similarly manifest to many people, but his circumstances were simply set for all that to happen. He was ubnormally socially insane person, with a deep rooted rage towards society.
As a criminal psychologist, I can tell you that while upbringing can influence the development of a serial killer, it is never the sole cause. Many individuals endure far more traumatic childhoods than Ted Bundy’s and still become productive members of society without ever engaging in criminal behavior. The primary driver in most cases is sexual deviance, which can stem from various factors.
In my experience, many offenders began using pornography at a young age, which desensitized them to normal sexual stimuli and led them to seek more extreme forms of pornography to achieve the same level of excitement. Similar to how a drug addict escalates to more potent substances, these individuals often develop dark fantasies that eventually manifest in real-world actions, seeking out the most morally reprehensible outlets for their urges-murder and desecration of bodies.
Lust murderers (serial killers like Bundy, Dahmer, and Gacy) is one of the most significant categories of killers. With the increasing accessibility of pornography, I fear that the number of serial killers will rise in the coming years. Social media may exacerbate this trend, potentially giving rise to even more dangerous individuals. I hope I'm wrong, but the signs are troubling.
Thanks for your thorough reply.
You are so right
I agree 💯
I absolutely agree!
Yes, and the cause for atrocities against children. Pure evil.
That might have been hard for him, but not the reason why he was a psychopathic killer.
It was common enough in that time to hide illegitimacy
This programme always went into the murderers childhood as well as saying it was probably a combination of nature and nurture.
Oh yes it could be. Its called maternal rejection and is behind most serial killer's traumas. I have borderline with psychopathic traits directly because my mother chose johns over her kids. When rage begins at 2 it has a LONG time to grow and fester. Society was simply saved because i had a brother, close in age, to share the trauma...ie someone i could count on, did not hate. When you hate your parents you have a hard time loving others but a really easy time hating others.
@@stoneneils Jack Nicholson and Eric Clapton both have the same upbringing. So no.
@@stoneneils That is you. I haven't read any research suggestion this is a reason for psychopathy. In fact many children doesn't simply hate their parents even if they feel neglected/rejected. More so that thet would wish to be loved and have this very complicate feeling spectrum where they both love and feel anger and hate against their parents. And Ted Bundy didn't lack maternity figure, from what I know he was really close to his grandmother, whom he thought was his mother.
Eric Clapton learned that his sister, 15 years older than him, was really his mother when he was 11. He turned all of that angst into becoming one of the most well-known guitar players in history. He made a lot of really bad decisions but ultimately he chose life over death without ever meeting his father.
🤔 i didn't know that
He’s the most overrated guitar player of all time…not saying I wish he’d turned out like Bundy instead, I’m just saying I wouldn’t really refer to his “playing” as much of an accomplishment.
@@BMF-k1hlol he still accomplished more than most and under the circumstances. He as well as Keanu reeves are those that aren’t classed as being the best if good at all but they still have a lot of “f my trauma” I’m going to make a success and still be a good person as well as a renowned artist or actor.
Same thing happened to Merle Oberon more or less
@@simoneelizabeth8595It’s not an accomplishment if it’s undeserving. He was in the right place at the right time and fed off of people’s sheep like nature to mould this false image of himself as being this “great guitar player”. I’d rather be unrecognised and brilliant than recognised and terrible.
Sometimes he looks possessed with those evil grins he has and his eyes change.
I think he is.
Seem like a nice guy to me.
My parent steve would force me to look into his black eyes while he was shouting at me😒 I could feel him looking through me.. and there is truly nothing there in the eyes..
His step daughter said when he got naked one time while playing hide n seek. His eyes changed and she was scared of him.
This man was just simply EVIL. Some people are & there’s just no saving them, unfortunately.
Are you suggesting that upbringing has no effect on a child's life??
no, but I suggest you read the comment directly below by @revolt-theory. It’s very well written.

@@VioletJoyhe/she is not saying that at all! Read a comment from a psychologist! She touches on that besides upbringing there are a bunch of other factors that makes up an evil individual!
@@lilalecompte788 Without trauma in childhood, it is EXTREMELY rare for an individual to turn out "evil"
He was diagnosed as a psychopath
Yes but these factors play a factor in why he chose to kill, he did not choose to not care, that was indeed his psychopathy
@@_andre007Or do things like these aid in developing aspd?
@@_andre00790p😊
He was diagnosed with anti social personality disorder
@@OFF-NIKEyes at least sociopathic aspd .
Psychopathic aspd I'd considered a severe form of it
He had a more stable life than many who do not become serial killers. I've known orphan siblings, growing up in the harsh abandonment of an orphanage, who become medical doctors with fruitful lives.
I believe some ppl are born "bad". Or have genetical problems from birth which have the potential for severe mental and behavioral problems later on. When these ppl experience some forms of abuse or traumatic events in childhood, this can trigger the already present nefarious genes. Not every child who is abused or experiences severe trauma at an early age turns out to be a sociopath, a psychopath, or serial killer....But ALMOST ALL serial killers etc. is abused or traumatized as a child.
“genetical” 😂
Yea, but doesn't mean we keep abusing people till someone chips off and gets cuckoo...
There are studies showing children with loving parents trying to kill their parents. Plus so many adolescents killed loving parents. Don't know about serial killers past, but some psycopaths don't need abuse to kill. Also ted bundy as far as i know had loving women around him. He was loved and a loved child loves back. Given the prejudices those days, an adolescent could have easely accepted he was 'tricked' bc that secret had to be kept away from public. He was not abused by women. I know men with loving mothers and abusive fathers who in turn become abusive to their nice caring wifes. It's fathers fault, a little boy will internalize his male adult caretaker.
You very well may have hit the nail right on the head! What you theorized makes such perfect sense.
Well said and in my opinion very likely exactly what it was/is.
You have Spidey senses 😉😁
Pretty smart, ya are.
@@christinap-c It works and can be used properly
Jack Nicholsons sister turrned out to be his mom too. He didnt turn into a killer.
Not that we know of...
That's not how it works mate.....
Oh
Happens to a lot people.
But he sure knows how to play one.
This happened to others and they didn’t kill. If you’re born with psychopathy trauma can trigger a response.
Yup. My neighbour was raised by his grandmother and his mother lived with them as his sister. It happened a lot back in the 50s/60s.
True. For me? Not all of my relatives were trash. They reached out to me to help me learn what was never going to be taught to me by my mother. I also had some great teachers, friends, who all embraced me growing up. Showing me that what was taught did not have to be my reality. Ted was shy internally. He was a good actor though. So he could play a person very unlike who he was. He was a chameleon. Never showing his true inner self. People do this professionally. Ted did it for survival and to continue life as a criminal.
Others smoked and they never got lung cancer, doesn't mean you won't or other's don't. Nobody else had Ted's life and if they did they'd be a serial killer too.
Bundy was once found by an interviewer to be crying in his cell. Bundy said: "I want to be a good person, I'm just not."
Manipulation
Tears always for himself!
BS
I've seen the good inside people come up for air and then get drown3d out again. I think people's anger blinds them so they want to believe he is lying. He probably wasn't. There's no motive as he wasn't getting out and he had no remorse. Anger can be just as blinding as being a psychopath. Just in case anyone had a pedestal they wanted to stand on.
How sad ❤️
Waaayyyy too much sob story bullsh*t!
Millions upon millions of people grow up in horendous family situations and CHOOSE not to be hateful serial killers.
Yes, but it has been proven that psychopaths have a part of the brain that doesn’t function correctly, so that combined with child abuse, the fact that he could be a product of inc*st, plus all the abandonment issues created a very resentful vindictive person. Many people have that part of the brain that doesn’t fire, but they’ve also had a good stable family environment. Unfortunately, all his experiences just created the “perfect storm” for a horrible unrepentant monster.
so is this going to be an excuse for serial killers? my father brothers abused me 6 to 16 i thought it was normal so they abandoned me and I wouldn't not trust men ever again I didn't get into drugs .no killing spree

I personally know three other families that had similar situations.
It's a stretch to think that this led Ted Bundy to become a serial killer. He was a very sick man.
How does any of this create a murderer?
Isn’t it strange how we humans try to rationalize evil
Some people just can’t accept that some people are born without conscience. It’s always has to be someone elses fault somehow.
He had a predisposition for personality disorder that was triggered by trauma.

People with a psychopathic brain who grow up in healthy homes become CEOs and surgeons.
@@anonymoose116 ASPD, anti social personality disorder - aka Psychopathy is an inborn issue. The debate was settled in the late 90’s, as that is when brain scan could show the necessary detail to researchers to prove the fundamental differences between a neurotypical and neurodivergent brains. Psychopaths have an underdeveloped pre frontal cortex, which is where many of emotion and feeling centers of the brain are. They also universally present with underdeveloped amygdala’s, which is related to low emotion, low impulse control, but it is even more importantly it is where the fight or flight response develops. People born with ASPD across the board have little to no feeling and poor impulse control. They are much less fearful than their neurotypical counterparts. However they are logical and calculating. A good environment may very slightly impact the development of a psychopath, but there are thousands of cases where parents that were perfectly good to their children ended up with absolute monsters and there is nothing they could’ve done to change it.
I see it clearly, how this could affect a child negatively and lead to great disappointment and anger, PLUS, how he was bullied in school and let down by his first love. If you don't, it's a sign your psychological skills are still developping.
That’s no excuse for how he turned out. He was just evil plain and simple.
His grandfather contributed to his evil no one is born choosing to be good or bad.
Nobody said it was an excuse.
Psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made. Sometimes a psychopath gets subjected to the circumstances that create a sociopath then you've got a while new level of crazy.
Except it's anything but plain and simple
@@Ed-tq6hb It’s just a phrase I use
How he was raised didn’t make him a killer. He had that inside him when he was born. Lots of children have worse childhoods and don’t grow up to be serial rapists and killers.
Oh shut up.
Everybody’s mind works differently
No its all depends on genes and childhood xps.
Nature and nurture. For Bundy, it was a combination of genes and socialization. It's not always cut and dry as you suggest.
Typical female who can't see reality, everything is the fault of a women.
Pfff people try to find excuses to monsters and try to understand why they did the evil deeds they've done , we à have been abused and grew up in very hard environments but we didn't turn into psycho murderers or cowards l'île serial killers

@@jacksonmansfield6826 And why would you try?

Probably there is more to the story not told.
That's why it's important how you raise your children.
Absolutely 💯 I know some kids didn't turn out too well even with great parents but you have a better chance of having a good children with good parents!
Agreed. 100 percent
Just as important to pay attention in case you have child with serious personality disorders. Though no hope for Bundy. He studied Psyche but maybe back then it never went deep enough to explain his madness. To abused children. I found it bothersome to fit into the troubled spot.
We have no choice in how we were raised or who raised us. If we are motivated? We will try to learn the important behaviors that were never taught at home.
Back then too. Men spoke very poorly about females. We were nags, a burden, hags, only good for one thing. Even our being mothers was a problem to many. This kind of talk also feeds more resentment toward our gender.
Not really -- if your child is born a Psychopath, there's basically nothing you can do to stop the condition from forming -- it's essentially a kind of brain damage. Psychopathy is far more influenced by genetics than environment.
That's a cop out . He wasn't abandoned by the women and GIRLS aren't "women" , yet .
The things that people did back then, so people would not find out that a child was born out of wedlock.
Years ago I met a girl who found herself in that position, whenever people visited her family home her parents would tell her to hide under the house. People were so concerned of the neighbours finding out.
The dude was a very evil person
He actually wanted to stop k!ll!ng. He said it to his wife. But he just couldnt. He probably had mental problems and he also said that he had that urge that he wanted to shut down but he just couldnt. Maybe if he had a normal childhood he wouldnt start k!ll!ng

@@hazgoldberg i am not. Im just trying to explain that not all people who do bad things are bad people.

The 3 things that will increase Psychopathic traits
1. Environment
2. Exposure
3. Abuse
And plenty of people overcome all those things and don't become sexual predators.

Normally Ppl don’t become serial killers from rough childhood, only psychopaths do..💀☠️
Just watched an interview with his first cousin who lived next to him. Nothing about most of this.
She also was seduced by the family narrative. It is a trance and CANNOT be questioned w out Dire consequences...
Eleanor Louise Cowell was born on September 22, 1924, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She had a difficult childhood, with an abusive father Samuel Cowell and a depressed mother Eleanor Cowell. The family also had a concerning psychiatric history.
He wasn’t abandoned, he was raised within his own nuclear family. How is that abandonment? Sure it’s a lie. He wasn’t left outside in a cardboard box at the local bodega for someone to fine and notify the police.
He said he had a really normal childhood. Like Jeffrey Dahmer had good parents especially his dad I've never seen or heard anything from his mom but his dad seems like a good man, I actually feel sorry for him because he really tried to find out what his son's malfunction was. That sick 💩 was bent from birth I really believe that.
@@Boo-dawg.There is a reason why some animals eat their young...
@@Boo-dawg.in Jeffrey’s case he watched his dad dissect dead animals and grew curious of that so he would pick up dead animals to feel their insides than the trauma from when his mom left with his brother and left him there to survive made him feel alone and worthless. He already had sexual fantasies of control from 14 he said so he connected all those things together … and he grew up with violent porn and alcohol a lot so that deff didn’t help.
My husband's aunt was actually his cousin. Same scenario as what was described here. Nobody in that family ever killed anyone. That was more common than people realized back in the day for unwed teenage mothers
It was indeed common, with probably none of them becoming sexual serial killers. ie Not a reason!
uhh....that's a NO for me. He had something else going on, like pure evil.
Stop overlooking these things it might not be the cause but its the little things like this that cause a spark in his mind that changes him
Evil isn't real. It is a concept. A person are shaped by there upbringing. It's downright insulting to call a psycopath evil just for some psycopath's being killers
Short cut to thinking, so that people like yourself can separate them from us.
@@gordianknot6867they deserve to be separate from us, if he did what he did to YOUR sister/daughter you would want his head on a stick, he’s a foul soul, he was smart and manipulative, so he obviously knew right from wrong and CHOSE to be a vile human being to young girls he encountered
Evil is a broad word that is not based in science and can mean something different to everyone. I understand why his actions cause emotionally charged comments. But some people want to actually understand his behaviour from a social science perspective, which is much more interesting in my opinion.
I'm not defending bundy by any means, he's a monster, but I truly believe his "grandfather" was the antidote, or justification, for his horrible crimes. But like a true pschoiopath, ted never admitted his true feelings. If he did, it was Only for his well-being. A true pschoiopath.
Bundy literally said and belief his childhood was completely normal with no violence or drug why are they trying to make his childhood sad
Because they want to protect pornography! 🤢
Torturing animals in childhood is not normal (I hope!) He admitted to that horrendous activity as well as being a peeping Tom …
How many times do I have to hear the traumatic childhood crap for every bloody criminals? How bad was Brian Khoeberger's childhood?
That's a shit argument
Everybody is different
kohlberger is innocent 👿
Hang on to that judgement, he hasn’t been found guilty yet
Because pretty much every criminal out there has a traumatic backstory that played a big part in making them killers. Nobody is born a villain. Ted Bundy may have had certain genetic wiring that made him more susceptible to narcissistic and psychopathic acts, but they just needed nurturing. Everyone is a human being, including criminals like Ted Bundy, and they deserve to be understood and you should always try to help them get better. Now, before you jump to conclusions, that doesn’t mean criminals like him shouldn’t face justice for their crimes, but you can still help them rehabilitate. Jeffrey Dahmer became a Christian and was still going to face life in prison before his early death.
@@Nameless-pt6ojI don't see why we need to give sympathy to killers. Their victims certainly didn't get any
It was the whole family Dynamics. His mother pretending to be his sister, his grandfather violent and abusive, his grandmother was abused by his grandfather and she was in and out of Mental Hospitals. And that's what we just know, can you imagine what we don't know? That's where he learned lying and deceiving. And experienced physical violence. Then his mother moves with him and marries and has three other children. When his mother was on the witness stand in court, she seems very odd to me. None of this is any excuse at all!! Then you throw in the unknown father, possibly his grandfather? Much much more went on in this family then he said or the mother said! Pornography was just an excuse, he wanted to con that minister.
Rough childhoods happen all the time though. My best friends dad left their family of four boys to marry a woman with four kids and then
came back later. My friend drove him around to his medical appointments as he was dying and then he left everything to his step kids.
He didn't go nuts and start chopping people up. Bundy would put makeup and lipstick on severed heads. That depravity isn't taught. That's being born evil
I agree 100%
She had 4 other children... Sounds like her "hands were full" and Ted was largely left to himself...
Well.. I think a more proper way to say that is that she was made to pretend like she was his sister. How horrible would that be? You're with your child but you have to act like your parents are your child's parents too and you're just his sister. I would imagine one would have ro lie to themselves so much until they accept and believe it. This family dynamic was really messed up.
This is lame. Lots of people are raised worse and they don't kill or hurt others.
Ted Bundy said that his exposure to porn as a young boy would be in the neighbors trash he told Dr. James Dobson in his last interview, hours before his execution that porn had played a big role in his life and he was wanting to help Dr Dobson on his mission to have stricter laws about the distribution of pornographic material. He said it's evil and leads to nothing good if the right person with the wrong intentions gets access to it. He already had issues with women because of his mother and porn just makes women look like the trash he thought they were. He said if he hadn't found those magazines things may have went completely different in his life. Who knows? But that's what he said. And I agree, porn is disgusting and something is wrong with people that have to watch other people have sex. It's belittling towards women and they are usually in magazines and on film to support a drug habit and just survive. No one in their right mind says I want to have sex with hundreds of men for a career and be treated like trash and abused by the creeps in these movies. You have to act and allow men to treat you like garbage because even they don't have any respect and I guess there's no point when a woman has no self-respect and no porn star has self-respect I don't care what they say. That's almost funny if it weren't so tragic. Those women were someone's child at one time. But someone took hold of their life and ruined it.
Its full of women that love to host thousands of men genitals and that love to have countless orgasms and being payed and famous for it. Women are no angels, they are way more materialistic than men generally, and have less dignity.
Open any social and you will see how women are obsessed with sex and body exposure since a very early age.
They exploit men on onlyfans etc. by being total thots without shame. Many are also masochists, and love the DARK TRIAD: narcissism-machiavellianism-psychopathy.
The philosopher Weininger made interesting observations about women.
Just the truth.
U are right about women who are subjected to this kind of horrendeous abuse. Also, i don't think a sane man can enjoy watching other people being intimate, let alone anjoy a man using a woman for his pleasure. Even if most of them enjoy porn or pay women for pleasure, that doesn't make them whole decent kind humans. Who would want that to their mothers and daughters? All of us women are God's creatures. As for ted bundy, his mother LOVED him. Ted knew women would have been harshly judged for having a child out of wedlock. An adolescent would have understood and accepted that. As for porn, many children like it, my scool mates started watching at 11 or 12 years old. If porn would turn boys into serial killers, then the raping and killing of women would become legal, simply because most men would do it. Does it make sense? As for the final interview, ted was looking for a naive person to save him from death penalty. That man who came and emphatized with ted, really believed ted, that porn was to blame. He was very very naive. One short look caught on camera shows ted's eyes were mischevious. During the interview he had a repenting face, but never straightforward said he was to blame - repenting people openly admit it. He kept saying he was not looking for excuses, all the while acting the opposite way by blaming it all on porn. Towards the end of the interview, that man pitied him but never said he would ask for the death penalty to be removed. For a second time, for less than a second ted looked at that man with pure hatred, disgust and RAGE that even though he wasted so much time explaining, the old fool never thought of helping him. That man was only happy his theory that porn was dangerous was acknowleged, he pitied bundy but believed his death was necessary to pay for his sins. Oh, that look on budy's face! his face twisted from evil, he had just an evil dark look! I will always remember it, i have never seen a face distorted and darkened by evil to that extent! That face!
I thought that was the caused but Ig it should've been because of his mother it does make sense. Don't know why he didn't say this happen instead of the porn magazine
@@JOHNRipper-hh4sm his mother loved him. But he might have been dissapointed bc his mother had him with a man she didn't marry.

The part that they always skip or don't give enough consideration to is the fact that his mother left him alone for 6 months in the home for unwed mothers.
3 months is a long fucking time to be left alone as an infant. It had to have affected him deeply. And who knows what happened during those 6 months.
I heard it was just 2 - 3 months, guess at 1st she wanted to put him up for adoption, then they changed their minds. Poor baby, yes that was very bad.
@@slowroastedmarshmallow9226
You're correct, it was 3 months. Either way that's a long time for an infant to be without its mother.
You can’t justify a bad upbringing to being a killer. I know plenty of people who went through way worse and are fine and normal today
Having thought your mother was your sister, hardly the most traumatic of childhoods. Many thousands had grown up the same. They did not kidnap and kill.
he chose to be who he was. troubles in life come to us all. some of the ppl who have had it the worst are the finest ppl-very often the poorest are the most generous. and wealth is seldom about money. a jerk has made choices too

I agree.! His eyes…
Well, that and his genetic predispositions for narcissism and psychopathy.
Lots of people come from these situations but don’t become killers, I’ve heard it’s a cocktail of different aspects coming together that’s why even if your a psychopath it doesn’t mean your a killer, there are so many different types some apparently do society good, head of business’s, doctors, surgeons, clergy, show business, etc are all professions that have a high ratio of psychopaths, any positions of power or jobs at the top or indeed surgeons especially bone, heart and brain surgeons, have to make split second decisions and be ruthless enough to carry them out.
A turbulent childhood may trigger certain behaviours, depending on the brain physiology, how the brain is affected by the trauma it experiences. That's why not everyone with a turbulent childhood becomes a serial killer. On any case, science is discovering that people are ultimately automatons; not responsible for their criminal actions.
??????? Please explain
There were members of my family that grew up in this manner... It seems a usual thing back in those days for children of unwed mother's to be raised by the grandparents and made to believe their mother is their sister... My family members didn't come out killers... There's much more to his psychosexual disorder than just this that everyone gets hung up on... And it has more to do with the types of pornographic books and material he was consuming as well as his animal cruelty and the continual amplification of these deviations
I read his story and a friend in the neighborhood mocked him and told him he was a bastard, born out of wedlock. But his mother and grandparents, telling him all his childhood that his mother was his sister, to him was deceptive, and traumatic.. In a sense, which is true, he was lied to. He felt betrayed. He didn't know who his real dad was. His mom was a teenager mother., and to cover up the family scandal, the grandparents adopted him. Was that enough to kill all those young women? No.. but in his mind, the rage, and betrayal was so overwhelming mentally. He acted out as an adult by deceiving the young women, and killing them. A false sense of power or control, something he never had as a child. He really wanted to killl his mom for denying and lying to him. But who kills their mom. Right? Instead he kills young women who resembled his Mom. He just went crazy. and went on a killing spree until he got caught. So sad
Perfeita análises 👏👏👏👏
Killing young women who resembled his mom? Sounds like Edmund Kemper.
No. So evil. Many, many children have traumatic childhoods & become responsible adults. Bundy demonstrated evil traits in early childhood when he knew nothing about his parents. You need to read a bit more about him & stop rationalising a rapist, murderer & necrophiliac. What's sad is the up to 100 young women (one only 12yrs old) whose lives were ended by this savage monster - and their grieving families!
TB is a fictional character and is, in fact, actor Brian Cranston 🤔
My grandparents adopted my cousin, which is my aunts child. She was raised by my grandparents as their child so she thought for her whole childhood that her mother was her sister and I thought my cousin was my aunt yeah! None of us are serial killers! Can’t say, I can make the connection with it! Yes, it’s weird. Yes it’s wrong. Yes it’s confusing . No it does not make you a killer in my opinion.
I don't think it's weird but courageous and brave when a blood relative stands up to adopt and raise the child amongst family so that at least the child has some semblance of family roots.
The knowledge of being told you're adopted is or can be difficult whether by family or strangers.
But his grandfather was brutal and abusive.
Exactly! It is usually having people who abused or neglect a child and/or even just watching an abuser abuse your own mom or grandma or family member, and no one helping stop the abuse, by restoring the family together again! Police and courts make things worse! A real bible believing Church should be helping reunite and hold families accountable to follow Christ! It could even be a Church or “friends” or other family or police or others who divide the family by enabling abuse and neglect of children like Bundy! Usually it is that a child or young adult or even an adults is being treated like an idol (no Christlike accountability) and therefore they become spoiled and feel entitled, and this leads people to become abusive!
What a disgusting dirty aunt. De generate women are behind many serial killers.
@@yolandar.1104 completely agree
My grandma's nephew was brought up as her brother as his mother died when he was 16 months old.. so he thought his grandma and grandad were his parents. Surprisingly he didn't kill anyone
I was adopted by my grandparents, my mother was my sister.
My grandparents adopted my mother also.
My father was a nasty bastard and my mother/ grandmother ditched me at 10 on anyone who would take me.
My brotherinlaw sexually molested me at 8.
IM NOT A FUCKING SERIAL KILLER.
You are a fucking I dont know what to compare you with
Stay strong soldier ur a literal BEAST AND THE TRUE BADASS!!
You are right there mate. Good on you !
You can see that his eyes change: from normal to that “beady” scary look. It shows more when he is smiling which makes it even more creepy.
he was just an evil person no excuse
Lie
@@The-Allfather-Odinkeep fanboying 💀
@alexshawman just because I have an IQ over 10 doesn't mean I'm Fanboying bro.
That sheds a lot more light on his outlook😢 not off to a great start one would say 🕊️🙏🫂
Ted was misunderstood.
no people have worse childhoods and turn out normal
I'll never understand the women...what makes them feel attracted to him? I mean, watch the video again. See those mugshots or ID photos? This guy creeps me out, even despite me knowing that his body's now cooked through well above medium rare
Look, Ted's smirking on the stand and thinks it's funny. I mean in court on trial for his life and he doesn't even care. Truly twisted individual.
I don't believe that bundy thinks he is being funny, that is the face of evil,betrayal. Its an evil smirk . Seen it before, unfortunately had a boyfriend with that exact smirk and he had twisted, sexual fantasies loved porn and did disgusting sexual acts with many, tried to get me into it. No! I got far away from him. He would smirk like that when we argued about his disgusting sexual perversions. He would and still does, have sex with numerous people, married or not, couples, ect. It's disgusting, makes me sick to my stomach even typing this.
~Alot Of Serial Killers..Like Ted Bundy..Have Very High IQ's..And Are Extremely Intelligent..To The Point Where They Believe Whole-Heartedly That They Are Smarter Than Literally Everyone Else..Including The Lawyers..Judges And The Jury...So In Their Twisted Minds..Why Should They Worry..? In Their Minds..Their Stories Couldn't POSSIBLY End With Them In Prison Or The Electric Chair/Lethal Injection...Ted Bundy Used Confidence And Charisma As A Tool To Put His Victims At Ease..To Manipulate Them To Get Them Into The Position He Wanted Them In...The Courtroom Was Just Another Theater Performance For Him..To Use Those Same Tools..✨️💝✨️
Wow , deep & spiritual stories
He should be thankful.
Why
@@The-Allfather-Odin he had people who cared
The wife of one of my great uncles was also raised believing that her mother was her sister. It happened more than people think.
In my opinion if he had a better childhood than maybe he wouldn't have been a bad person what you see as a child impacts your life when you grow up
Rubbish , there have been many children that have led really hard childhoods and never turned out to psychopaths. One choses to be evil, one is not born evil !
@@donsarderidiculous..of course his childhood impacted his mind and emotions..this video is not saying what he did was right, only to have a perspective and understanding of a psychotic person..you are dealing only with your emotions, not with an analygous analytical thought process...
@@donsarde yea i agree with you now, it's no excuse for what he did
His grandfather tortured animals in front of him for the first 5 years of his life. Torture and hatred of his mother x
How do You know that?
Oh BS...some people are just pure evil. Evil exists everywhere. People have endured worse situations and became responsible, hard-working people. Seek Christ, he saves!!
Amen
He was born with no empathy!
Still does NOT make someone a MURDERER!!!
It can
@@The-Allfather-Odinno it can’t
Woah. Calm down. I don't think this is meant to be an excuse, it's meant to be a part of an explanation as to how a human being can turn this evil.
I agree with this statement, yes Ted Bundy couldn’t trust any women because of his own mother who lied to him for several years . But I think that this is not an excuse for what he did to all those poor young women he met years later as an adult . Perhaps he needed therapy but I guess nobody was interested in him . I think loneliness was a big part of his life and personality , he shrank into depression and he never got out of it not really . As a kid any human being needs a role model to grow up and become an adult but in his case … who was the role model ? Nobody . So how could he have learned to trust anybody …
He's right with woman can't be trusted generally speaking,he's correct 😂.
How abt the ladies who trusted him when they wanted to help..
It ain't about women ..no one can be trusted periodt.
I feel the same way about men. Had a narcissistic male friend who wanted to date me. Now days I find it better to just get rid of the opposite gender. Yet, without me even trying sometimes men still bring their shit in my lane. I don't flirt, date, or approach the opposite gender and due to my aspergers I am generally happier without romantic relationships.
@@bach9474 it ain't his mother's fault she got sexual abuse by her dad
more specifically there was a resemblance in his sister with long brown hair and white which I’m pretty sure why he chose that type
Why he would hate His sister?
No excuse! That dude did stuff to women that nobody even knows about because it’s practically unexplainable.
How is it unexplainable? Its pretty obvious how he killed most of those women.
NOPE.
Exact sane thing happened to Jack Nicolson (the famous actor)
NOT a serial killer!
It was a female that made him psycho, juat wait ubtil the children today grow up. Serial killers have increased hugely since the feminist movement.
I've seen this in several families and never understood the secrecy or anger and lies when it unravels. 😢
Just like back then, the same as now, women still cant be trusted, almost cant blame him for how he turned out, the evil in him started with his own mum
Elliot, is that you?
Woah, calm down Incel Man.
Might have to call the FBI lmao
Who hurt you little man?
You're not lying women can't be trusted. Though he chose to take out his problems that way on his own.
@@jonathandoe2316 can't trust you men either. All boils down to the individual. Stop playing sexist
So very sad! Truth is vital to a child regardless of how painful it is to you!
‘Almost in a bit of a survival mode?” Vague and minimizing description of what for a child under 3-4 years would be brain altering for certain….which is weird an “Expert” would give such a description.
My half sister was also raised by her grandparents, thinking her mother was her sister. And she became no serial killer🤷♂️
There is an amazing survivor of childhood abuse and trauma, his name is David Pelzer. Hes not a serial killer. Its BS that Bundys childhood has anything to do with him being an awful human being.
I read all 3 of Dave Pelzer's books and I wish I had never read them because of the horrendous abuse by his own mother. She tortured him and taught his siblings to ignore the abuse. His dad was a Fireman who ignored his own son's abuse. 😢
who ignored Dave's abuse.
Dave's- father ignored his wife's horrific abuse! 😢
~Every Person Is Unique..Not Just On The Surface..but Also On The Inside..You Literally NEVER Know How Something Will Affect Someone..'Cause What One Person Is Able To Shrug Off And Move On..Another Person Will Have A Different Tolerance Level..Which Explains How You Can Have 2 Kids In Nearly Identical Upbringings Of Abuse/Trauma etc..And Have One Grow Up Hurt..but "Normal"...yet The Other Grows Up To Be A Serial Killer..We Need To Start Taking Kindness More Seriously..Seems Like Everyone Wants To Prove How Bad Or Tough They Are Or Can Be..Wouldn't It Be A Better Life If Everyone Wanted To Prove How Good And Kind And Loving They Are Or Can Be..?
✨️💝✨️
I know a girl who got pregnant young, had the baby, and her parents raised the boy as her brother, never telling him the truth… which he inevitably will learn. I’ve always thought that was a very bad idea.
Thank you for that in depth information. I remember Bundy talking about his porn addiction to Dr. James Dobson. I thought he was just making an excuse, but I now see there was more to it.
What you said about easy access and social media is truly frightening.
My husband found out that his brother was only his half brother and that his dad whom he called his dad all his life ,well until he learned he wasn’t. I believe he was around 25 years old when he found out, it hurt him deeply, but he didn’t go killing people, and he did not have the desire to kill people. He was angry and he felt deceived, but that’s about it.
Psychopaths are made, not born.
well, genetics are politically incorrect.
no, sociopaths can be made but psychopaths are born to it
Trauma is one of the choices you get to take with you. You pick it up, you let it down
There must be some characteristics in him genetically that a serial killer has...like very less amount if regret + their environment and childhood
There is a guy a guy called Denis from down under that was
In the same situation,
He was a 80’s criminal
These a documentary about him
I love the last part of this video , so true!!!
I think its just being said he developed a resentment towards women. Perhaps a seed was planted that was nurtured by escalating deviant behavior. It may not be one sole thing but the sum of many.
Why did he trust his girlfriend. He never physically hurt her or her daughter. All those years together and he never abused her.
Manipulating and using them as a cover shield.
He did.
I read his birth father was actually his maternal grandfather. His mother was an unwed mother so because of the times she was sent away. Supposedly, after his delivery she wanted to put him up for adoption but her dad wouldn’t allow it
He had an urge. There were no influences to redirect him. An alienated man who trusted no one. He decided not to care what anyone thought of him.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Ted buddy, you chose the wrong path!
The same thing happened to Bobby Darin and he wasn't a serial killer!
Thus dark haired parted in the middle!! Set the rage. Imo
Wow Mr Bundy and myself came to the same conclusion. I really don't want to unpack that.
There are none righteous no not one. ALL have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.
For God so❤Loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever shall believe on Him Shall have eternal life.
Every person, regrdless of a natural temperament is born with a tendency to do good and bad things in life. His upbringing was clearly very bad and twisted, what baffled psychiatrist at the time of his evaluations was his surface sanity. However it is appearent that internally he was extremelly disconnected with a normal social life. His tough temperament didn't help at all, he didn't even question his motives. It is quite possible that he never really formed his personality and in that regard he was autistic. All that points in a direction of an extreme mental ilness, but a tricky one. He didn't succeed in changing himself, it was easier to him to just go with his twisted ego and to bring enormous destruction in society. Even if he realized the degree of his foul deeds, his brain was simply set for malignancy, in other words he failed to discover the normal rhytm of a social life, he didn't feel it. Now these things can similarly manifest to many people, but his circumstances were simply set for all that to happen. He was ubnormally socially insane person, with a deep rooted rage towards society.
