True Crime: True Crime Stories, Hollywood Deaths and Bullycide Box Set
Your True Crime Stories, Hollywood Deaths and Bullycide Box Set True Crime Box Set Vol. 1-4 Discover some of the most shocking crimes committed by the very people the victims loved and trusted. Moms Who Kill Mothers are supposed to be protective and shield their children from danger and destruction. Every child expects their mom to be there for them and instinctively trusts them. They would never expect their own mother of being able to commit such crimes, but they do. Dads Who Kill What would drive a father to murder his own children? The idea of anyone killing a child, especially a parent, is incomprehensible. Still, it happens and when it does the country goes into shock. Parents Who Kill It’s unimaginable to think a parent, someone who is by nature supposed to protect their children, making the choice to kill them. Unfortunately, filicide (the deliberate act of killing your own child) is not as uncommon as many may think. There are many reasons why a parent might kill their own child, from mental illness to revenge. Kids Who Kill Is childhood really innocent anymore? It feels like every time we turn on the news these days we’re hearing a new story about a child being murdered, not by a scary stranger, but by another child. From school shootings to abductions and family killings, kids killing kids is a very real phenomenon. Celebrity Deaths Of Tinseltown Vol. 1-3 The Complete Box Set When we get to see inside the lives of celebrities as we do, it is hard not to become attached to not only the characters they play but also who they are as human beings. It is also easy to sit in our homes and judge them and wonder how things can be so bad when they have all that money and fame. The reality is they experience the same anxiety, depression and hardships many of us face when it comes to being the emotional people we are. There is a price to pay for fame and fortune and unfortunately many celebrities pay it with their life. With the death of celebrities like Robin Williams, it opens the world’s eyes to the force that depression is. Bullycide Vol. 1-2 Box Set Have you or someone you know been a victim of bullying? Childhood bullying is on the rise, according to some studies, but can it actually cause death? A Yale University study found that those who are being bullied are estimated to be between 2-9 times more likely to contemplate suicide than those who aren’t being bullied. ABC News reported that every day 160,000 kids stay home from school due to fear of bullying. The New Age Of Bullying Social networking sites and texting have been blamed for the recent rise in bullying, especially since these add a level of anonymity not felt or seen in the past. Pictures, messages, and posts can spread like wildfire and what goes on online can infiltrate the classroom and the “real world.” In the following book, we’ll go over some of the most recent child suicide cases instigated by bullying. While most cases are those who were teenagers at the time of their deaths, some have been as young as 11- and 12-years-old. By learning what to look for in a victim and gaining awareness of early warning signs, it might be possible to prevent the tragedy before it happens. And with more awareness and education on the parts of teachers, parents, and other adults involved in the child’s life, bullying could even be curtailed in the future.

This a 9 book set of varying crimes and deaths. Obviously, not every single one goes into heaps of detail but enough to hold one's interest. I had read 4 of the volumes reaching 35% when I gave in as they're all full of mistakes. Just horrible presentation, or lack thereof.
I'm keeping them on my device in the hope they'll someday get an update pushed through. I downloaded these in November 2017 but this particular collection is already no longer on Amazon's site so that could be why.......too many complaints, perhaps.
Punctuation is a massive issue, rendering some passages totally meaningless. Way too much sloppiness as well. Like using the name Philipp on one page and then Phillip the next and again writing Kenzie then Kenize. The word held instead of led, a lot of words missing from sentences, I Googled Pixie Stix to learn it's Pixy Stix. Here and there whole paragraphs were repeated. Just a bloody mess altogether.
What was absolutely staggering in the cases of parents killing kids was that clearly most of them were properly mental, on drugs or just retarded and yet just carried on having kids over and over, despite social services being involved in many of the investigations !! Many killers were parents from very religious families as were the kids who killed in that particular volume. If ever there were laws needed to call for potential parents to be assessed whether fit for purpose, they feature in these books !! Most of them should've been sterilised. It makes for some pretty depressing reading.
Shockingly, and this could only be in America.....it's mentioned one kid aged 11 had "a 20-gauge youth model shotgun" !! You couldn't make it up !! Sadly, he murdered 2 with this toy he'd clearly not bought for himself.
I reached Vol I of the Tinseltown Tragedies, happened across yet more errors and I gave up. A shame as I'd liked to have carried on but it was becoming too painful to wade through the abysmal lack of care taken in presentation.

Lots of intriguing information in these nine books
You're getting nine books in one volume here, and all of it is interesting. You get moms, dads, parents and kids who kill. You get three books about Tinseltown Tragedies, and you know you'll find some interesting stuff there. Then you get two books about cyberbulllying, bullying and suicide. This topic is perhaps the most cruel of all.
The author has pulled a lot of information together here, and not in a sensationalistic way. We're talking about death, and it is treated with compassion and empathy.
If I had proofread this book, I would have corrected 92 errors in addition to many punctuation errors, including major misuse of the semicolon.

Not for me
Written too much like a kids school report. Doesn't go into any details. Everything can be found on Wikipedia! Don't bother buying the set. If you want to know more on any of the killers etc Google it. You will probably get more information am more concise information!!
