22 Shocking True Crime Cases of Kids Who Kill, including;John Christian: They were a class of exceptionally bright kids, led by the coolest teacher in school. Everyone loved Mr. Grayson. Well, perhaps not everyone.
Sarah White: There are two sides to the story. One paints Sarah White as a victim of abuse. The other paints her as a mass murderer. Both are true.
Colt Lundy & Paul Gingerich: Colt had taken one too many beatings at the hands of his stepfather. He was done with getting mad. Now he was getting even.
David Black: The boy liked carrying bullets in his pockets. He said he had a gun at home and knew how to use it. No one believed him. They should have.
Steven Miles: He was the odd kid in school, the weirdo, the outsider. Elizabeth was willing to give him a chance. Compassion will cost her everything.
Maxwell Morton: He claimed that it was an accident, that the gun went off in his hand. Why then did he pose for selfies with his victim instead of calling for help?
Miguel Cano: Michael liked to boast to friends that he was a serial killer who’d already claimed several victims. That was a lie. The victim count stood at one.
Dylan Schumaker: Two toddlers left in the unreliable care of a malevolent teen. One of them won’t make it through the night.

This is another engaging book by Robert Keller. The stories are told with enough information for the reader to understand the sentences the perpetrators were given. This book however, unlike previous books in the series, was a bit sloppy. At one point we are told that a woman is seventeen months pregnant. At another we learn that a murder in 1994, with the killer arrested the same day, was not adjudicated until 2019, then was eligible for parole in the same year. A third story doesn’t give any date whatsoever as to when it occurred. Perhaps the most unusual story in the book is the case of Retta McCabe dating from the 1890s. This little girl, a baby really, perhaps five years old, was a monster out of parental nightmares. An original “bad seed”. A ghastly tale.
Mr. Keller has a number of series that he’s writing, and this one about children is particularly devastating. Most of these stories are about a family member but there are also strangers as victims. What is really telling is that almost none of these kids have any empathy. It’s pretty clear that most of these kids have mental health problems and/or are sociopaths. I just can’t fathom that committing a murder is a viable solution to what these kids think are problems. Because they aren’t problems. They are bumps in the road of life but they aren’t life threatening. I’ll never understand…
KU read, well written as usual. Recommended for true crime lovers.
As always, I enjoy the true crime cases Mr. Keller puts together. I like that there were cases I’ve never heard of and that some were fairly recent. Typos aside, the book and each story felt rushed and abruptly ended. All books in the Killer Kids series have very short stories. However, prior books seem to have a lot more detail and information which made them more satisfying.
I enjoy the anthology like feel of these books. Being able to get the nuts and bolts of each person as well as their crimes in sort of a bunch of short summaries. It really makes them easy to read, so now I'm on to Killer Kids Volume 15 and expect it will read as well as the past volumes I have read.
It is so hard to imagine how children are capable of such monstrous deeds, but the cases within these pages will definitely prove that they are just as capable as any adult. Definitely a must read.
