It used to be common for single parents to take their children to the orphanage if they couldn’t make ends meet. When the parents’ situation improved, they retrieved their kids. In the absence of any other social net, it was the best they could do. Some orphanages kept the children in-house or sent them to real foster homes, but it was too common for children to be used as servants. The past was the worst. For everybody.

@@laa4438 During the time I'm talking about, a shameful number of orphans in the UK were shipped to Australia as "immigrants." (Not sold.) In the US that didn't happen. Kids from big Eastern cities were sent to the Midwest on orphan trains (not sold), but kids from smaller communities stayed put. My grandmother and her siblings were some of those kids. They were in and out of an orphanage in their rural area a few times after their mother's death, depending on whether their father could support them, and they all ended up there permanently after he died. They had foster homes for part of the time. Orphan trains weren't an option--which was good, because they had roots in the area and could keep in touch with each other.

Not impossible. Neither is it an impossibility, that someone at the asylum _were_ poisoning her. The scope of suffering she imposed was pretty wide, as was the victims. There might have been a relative or aqaintance of one of the victims she ultimately was _not_ convicted of, working there at the asylum. Or some other less-than-ethical vigilantism. General patients were all too often targets of some rather awful, unsanctioned "treatments" and experimentation, and outright abuse, at many asylums back in the day. Having a patient with a track record like that, I can only imagine a doctor or nurse in such an establishment, harboring such thoughts and ideas, might feel rather liberated of any moral guilt of abusing such a patient.

This woman was probably the inspiration for 'I Love the Dead' by Alice Cooper. 'I love the dead before they're cold. Their gloaming flesh for me to hold...' She fits the deranged necrophile portrayed in the song perfectly!

There was a place in Waltham, Ma - Metropolitan State Hospital. I worked there as a a nursing assistant. I heard there that a patient, named Peter, there had sewn his eyes closed. was Peter our mysterious eye man???.

You should make a Casual Criminalist video about Big Lurch! It has it all: rap, PCP, murder, cannibalism, & possibly a conspiratorial cover-up!!

I absolutely love all of your channels! You and your team(s) do a fantastic job! Keep up the amazing work!❤

I think it’s interesting that she fully admits and understands that she was a legitimate sociopath and also was able to emanate a seemingly kind and caring personality. most sociopaths are good at mimicking human emotion, but from these stories it seems more like she had a compassionate side but then she kind of just flipped a switch and suddenly enjoyed killing people… but it doesn’t feel like she has dissociative identity disorder either so I’d be interested to hear what psychologist today would actually diagnose her with.

As a nurse i am just…. really glad I don’t work in psychology because trying to wrap my head around her thoughts is just sick.

Dr. Linda Hazard is another interesting story about a murderer under guise as a medical professional. Ask A Mortician has a great video on it. The Doctor the Mortician and the Murderer.

This sounded so familiar. Bailey Sarian did a video on this in December. If you did a casual criminalist on this though I wouldn’t mind watching it again. This was pretty thorough for a short video though.

The nickname brings me memories of learning about an asylum doctor literally named Dr. Fear. Not a nickname. A lot of you probably know what I'm talking about and where I heard it from. The doc really enjoyed giving the maybe insane, maybe ADHD-ridden (might have confused that with OCD) people with one of the most painful, I think poisons, in existence. But "Dr. Fear" though. That's an insane (puns) coincidence.

Nope, never heard this one before. And I have a subscription to highlight hits. I wonder if Simon took that page down.

Nice setup brother 💪

A person who was abandoned as a child, put into an orphanage where she was likely physically and sexually abused, and forced into indentured survived (slavery) where she could have been further abused. It's no wander she became a murderer. If they had put her in a place with caring people who would have given her love, food, shelter, and an education while asking nothing in return, basically treated her like a child that needed to be cared for and educated instead of a servant, a commodity, to be used, she might have grown up to be a decent human being. The government, culture, and people in the past where really terrible.

I was starved and abused horrifically for 16 years until I went into foster care. During my childhood, I experienced things daily that are banned by the Geneva convention. My dad got nearly 40 years in prison for child abuse. I’ve never killed anyone. Abuse can cause serious permanent damage to one’s mental health but to end up a serial killer, I think one has to have some serious pre-existing conditions. I don’t think nurture alone can create someone like this. If abuse alone could create a killer, myself or one of my eleven siblings would surely have killed someone by now.

There's no evidence of abuse and indentured servitude was often a form of internship rather than slavery back then. They were free to come and go and were given skills and opportunities they wouldn't have otherwise had access to. Two of my great grandparents were indentured servants to repay their debt from the voyage here and to start new lives in America. They went on to be a doctor and preacher/post master. That's not the trajectory of slavery
