Killer Kids - Michael Newton

Kids who kill. Phenomena manifesting only in these modern times, or just how long has this been going on? Michael Newton, well known for his previous encyclopedic works on criminals, has researched these minor murderers and the results are in this work, Killer Kids.
   Within the pages of this book you will discover that each year up to 1,500 kids below the legal age of 18 commit murders. And the numbers are growing higher each year. Who are these kids and why are they doing this? Find out more from Michael Newton:

   J. Edgar Hoover, long dead director of the FBI, warned us of a new crime wave spawned from a juvenile jungle, an army of teenaged criminals. Not well known for his psychic abilities, perhaps he was more prescient than we knew. Read Killer Kids and perhaps you'll agree.
