World’s Youngest Serial Killer - 8 Year Old Amarjeet Sada

[@euneiros]

The fact that Amarjeet is now free, in his early 20s, changed his name and no one knows who he is and what he did, potentially has started a family and had babies of his own is just insane to me. Rest in peace to the victims who didnt have the opportunity to celebrate even their first birthday :((

A note about his extra- smiling- it's called 'Dupers delight'. When someone knows they've done something but smile at the thought of successfully decieving you or messing with you. Like him smiling after she asked where the baby was- he was dupers delight smiling because HE knew the baby was dead, but she didn't. They get a thrill mentally from it.

The creepiest example of it I've seen was on a child murderer who unwittingly was interviewed by a TV team as a neighbor while the child's killer (or body at that point, can't quite remember) still was unknown. He was so inappropriately delighted right on camera while supposedly being a worried family father in the neighborhood. He broke character more than once bc he just couldn't contain his joy feeling he was getting away with the murder. Absolutely chilling.

FACTS

[@ayushpandey6851]

I got caught in my teen years for bringing alcohol in the school as I was curious and wanted to try it with my friends. I was in 9th grade I believe. I was suspended from school for 2 weeks. My parents punished and beat me up a lot (it's quite normal here and I don't think it was a bad thing to do, I kind of deserved it) but they did try their best that my future won't be ruined. They begged the principal and the teachers to not any big actions against me. Now I know it's definitely not the same thing and I don't want to imagine myself in Amar's situation but I feel like many parents, at least here, would do what his parents did. This is all so disturbing.

[@SjofnBM1989]

Even if it was just to get him help. Like get him into a program that helps whatever mental shit was going on with him. Pretending it didn't happen wasn't helping Amar either it just taught him he could get away with it.

[@yup_im_tiff]

@@ayushpandey6851 i’m from Louisiana. My kid gets whoopings my 12 y/o not my 4 y/o. If my son bought alcohol to school he would also get a whooping belt to the butt and punished for a month and I would ask the school to not expel him. But we’re talking about murder that’s completely different. I wouldn’t give my child the opportunity to harm my other child that’s my point I’m not saying through your kids tothe wolves because we are our children’s only advocates. I’m not going to protect my child who murdered my niece. I look at my nieces and nephews as my kids, even if their parents get on my nerves. Those are still my nieces and nephews and I love them like my own. So I couldn’t see myself hiding that my son did that to my niece. I would automatically think would he do this to my baby if I had a baby. I can’t speak from a male perspective because I’m not a dad but as a mom that would scare me, I wouldn’t trust him in the house with me because children like that end up, murdering their parents. Also, I would feel that way because it didn’t seem accidental. He tried to bury the child if he did it and it was an accident and he came to me crying hysterically that might also have a different outcome. I don’t know if I would turn my back on my kid if it was an accident. I may honestly have did what this Mom did if I really thought it was an accident but he tried to bury the child. That’s the scary part.

[@dirtydoflamingo_]

It grosses me out how much the parents downplayed the death of their niece, from their reaction, to how they explained it. I get as a parent you always give your children the benefit of the doubt. But what's your son's life getting ruined in comparison to the life of a baby that has barely begun yet.

[@Canyouseemeanna]

In small villages in India, most children roam around freely, infact most houses keep their doors wide open during the day and close only during the night. You can enter any house whenever you want and all this is possible because of trust. Trust is a huge thing in villages of India therefore if any member of your family is found commiting any sort of crime even having an affair your entire family including extended family becomes a criminal family and will be boycotted by the people. Its not just the kid, the entire family can say goodbye to their social life and no one will hire anyone from their family, no one will marry anyone from their family its basically a social suicide. The only option is to move to the city which is a huge thing for such a poor family to do. I don't think they downplayed the child's death rather they hid it because of fear and I think this theory is most plausible because even if the parents and sister downplayed the baby's death but how can the rest of the family members not realise that one of their children is missing especially the father and even if they lied to the rest of the family wouldn't they still want to see the body of the baby for funeral. So only thing that makes sense is all of them hid it because of fear of social boycott and that was why one of the Sada's relative knew the truth and told it to the mother of the other baby and earlier even the neighbours kept quiet on Sada's request because they knew that the entire Sada family has to pay a huge price.

So when they ask directly he owns up to it immediately in the same way you'd own up to stealing the cookie. He wanted to do it, so he did, but was hoping he could get away with it. He acts wierd because he literally has no empathy. He is taught right and wrong but he won't FEEL badly for doing something wrong. That is part of what makes severe untreated psycopaths so dangerous.

It all depends on the age, and if the sons suffered abuse at the hands of someone else. If they were abused, and it was normalized to them, and they're still young?

I believe this whole situation is mostly the parents' responsibility: the kid evidently had brain problems, no natural empathy, but the parents' blind all-forgiving love spoiled him to the core, he wasn't taught empathy and taking other people into account, I'm sure because of their love they refused their own necessities to provide him with everything, he took this sacrifices for granted, he's the most important in life, and they ignored all his cruel tendencies for years. Like, his mother didn't believe he could be the bully? It's the parents job to teach empathy and how to live in society to the best advantage. They failed because of the blind love, not because of cruelty and abuse. That happens to those who already are psychopathic and are not socially trained and adapted (many psychopaths live a normal life and never committed crimes because their environment did a good job)

[@picklesascha2010]

I'm Indian and I remember hearing about the case 6 to 7 years ago. I was shocked to find that they let him out and let him change his name. I'm not surprised that his family covered it up, I think some of it was due to the shame and humiliation that they would face if it came to light but also in India, girls are not valued nearly as much as boys. Boys are constantly doted on and protected, even when they do awful things. The female infanticide rate is high there, and the disrespect which women go through is baffling, which is ironic seeing as some of the most respected religious figures are indeed female, such as Kali Maa, Mother Saraswati, and Mother Lakshmi. Of course, not everyone is like this, but it's clear the killer's family has no respect for any of the victims. They lied to save face and protect their only son's reputation, which is awful, seeing as two of their own family members died.

I honestly believe the parents should’ve gone to jail as well. They knew what kind of child they had and allowed him to get away with what he did twice, and tried to a third time.

I'm from India, in my experience families thinking that their son's crimes are just a "one-time thing" and that their sons are owed forgiveness isn't just tied to young boys. They act the same as their fully-grown sons. It's unfortunately become a cultural thing at this point and here we see another horrible effect of that thinking. His parents were enablers and if not young, as a grown-up. he probably would've committed even more heinous crimes. I wish the aunt would've reported him to the police the first time instead of thinking for a family who believed an apology could replace the justice that her kid would've got. It would've saved a life.

Which means I'm going to have to be brutally honest about my past, his grandparents pasts, even his late fathers past; possibly tainting the image he may have one day but it's better than concealing the truth and not informing him of the risks he faces if he ever experiments with illicit substances. Buy not all addicts are manipulative liars looking for their next fix. They aren't all selfish inconsiderate monsters, though some may devolve into that. I was an iv drug user for 7 years, and I never stole, lied, cheated, prostituted, deceived, nor did I bum for my fix. Addiction has many facets and many faces. It's not always the zombified sore ridden skeleton holding up a sign. It's the outgoing people pleaser, the hometown prom queen, the valedictorian, etc. Some are just able to hide it better, lucky enough to never have compromised their morals, or able to find the willpower to resist degeneracy.

Fast-forward to the 2020s even in 2015 or earlier my aunt got brain damage from medical malpractice. She was compensated but also there was zero places left that could handle that level of care. She spent the last twenty or so years of her life in the same facility for the criminally Insane. Routinely my mother had to go to the hospital because she was beaten so bad by staff members. There was one or 2 that protected her but they couldn't stay working there forever . I felt that it was so sad that we had to slowly watch her die, our corrupt state never taking responsibility and a long w that taking ever penny of her money , the money she couldn't spend her self but put in her will for her youngest niece ( me) and my cousin . And that money went straight back into the system that failed her. This world is Straight evil corrupt n disgusting

I took a sociology class and while talking about criminals my professor brought up how children eating lead paint leads to mental illnesses that can cause criminal behavior. After looking it up, I found that India has been having issues with lead paint. So, I wonder if when Amarjeet was a toddler he would eat the paint off the walls and that caused him to be this way.

[@cloudsondrugs105]

yeah that could be cus India has lead pollution in water and since Amarjeet was from a poorer area he most likely didnt have access to safe drinking water leading him to consume lead (in theory)

Lead poisoning crossed my mind too, but for a different reason. The black makeup they used could be tainted, or the tool they use to apply it.

[@pythagorasaurusrex9853]

Good point! Indeed lead poisining is one of the leading causes of death in modern human times but covered up as other death causes. But there are so many cases that can be traced down to lead. In western countries lead exposure is knowadays reduced to nearly zero as leaded gas is banned since the 80ies. But in some countries where environmental standards are still low like in some parts of India, lead poisoning can be a reason for Amar's behaviour. I wonder if police has ever put a look at this. You remember the time from 60ies to 80ies where so many serial killers walked around in the US but also other countries? Many blamed this circumstance to kids being born from parent where a lot of them suffered from PTSD after WW2 and other changes in society after WW2. Good reason, but still, did anyone ever made a research of connections between "odd" crimes and environmental pollution, especially lead when leaded gas was at its peak?

[@amiiredhead2676]

Interesting point. I suspected for Amarjeet to have serious developmental issues. Pollution of any kind is a big influence on the development of a child. Now there are more robust and more sensitive children in different ways. Maybe Amarjeet is sensitive to environmental pollution?

Nobody thought anything of it til he murdered his father. He went to jail for some time but the mother begged them to let him put being that she was alone and needed to be taken care of....the son did end up killing his mother.

48:50 I am an Indian and I will be brutally honest with what I say............. The caste system in India right now, kind of exists and does not exist at the same time. In cities the caste system is not a thing anymore but in extremely rural areas it still does exist (I said extremely rural areas), while in other villages it does not exist, even if it does it isn't as rigid as it was back in b/w 2000 and 2010. the elderly people of India still believe in this thing but rarely follow it. The category of untouchables almost does not exist (India is huge and I cannot visit every place here and confirm this but with full confidence I will say that 95% of India has grown from this thing) and things are way better than they were back then. Also, you might find one in a million people who still fight over this thing and ofc legal actions are taken against them. Another thing is that I don't think Amarjeet was at the age to see discrimination as he was isolated at a very young age and also, he was living in a village where only the scheduled castes lived also seeing the condition his family was in, I don't think he ever explored the cities to face the caste discrimination. So, discrimination was not the cause of his killings for sure. In the end I really appreciate the fact that you talked about this case and loads of love from India

anger issues are more of a sociopathic thing. At least as the terms are used in psychology (as opposed to how people use them in general conversation). Psychopathy is more so characterised by a lack of emotion. This includes happiness. Psychopaths don't feel joy at harming others. Sociopaths and neurotypical people may feel joy in that. So of course the danger is that they also feel no empathy, the act according to quite cold logic. This can easily lead to ruthless actions, but generally our society rewards kindness and respect, so it mostly depends on their surroundings and treatment. If you want to hear a bit about Psychopathy in a light hearted format, i recommend the video "Ogata, the Perfect Psychopath" by Living Deadman. It's a manga character breakdown, so no real events and it's easily digestible but good information :)

Well because the difference between an 8 year old and an 18 year old or even a 26 year old (post brain developing) is massive. Doing bad things as a child doesn't guarantee you would do them as an adult. And in fact, intervention during childhood can make the difference of a life time for young offenders. That being said obviously murder, is not the typical offense young people commit. And that's probably part of the issue with this case. Given there aren't many cases to compare to this to, it's going to be hard to make a decision on how his life should go. We obviously don't know anything about his time locked away or in prison, but he potentially could have been reformed or developed positively. It seems unlikely given the circumstances, but again I think there is actually logic to not locking up an 8 year old for his entire life. Because it's such an unusual case and because he's so young it's not an unrealistic conclusion for someone to come to.

Well, the psychological experts said he has no moral compass of his own. He instead follows what he is taught. He is taught not to lie, but when he gets into fights he gets (rewarded with) amulets of the gods. Hmmmmm, however could that influence his behaviour... There is hope in this view though, because he did get punished, put in jail and probably learned more about what is allowed and what isn't through growing up in general. So if he just integrates rules into his worldview, he might've actually learned something and be a better person nowadays. I think giving him a chance after he grew up is fine, so long as his development has been observed (and supported). Just, you know, definitely keep him on the radar of police forces and such and never let him adopt or babysit.

The parents are just as responsible after the first time. They knew he couldn't be trusted.

[@Naviluscious]

It's not always the absence of love or loved ones. Sometime over- pampering contributes greatly in creating serial killers. Remember the case of Gianni Versace, he was killed by a serial killer, who was overly pampered since childhood. Many parents today do not realise that not hitting a kid doesn't mean becoming a slave to their kids. They don't know how or where to draw the line.

[@JuMiKu]

While I agree that kids need boundaries, rules and so on, I'm not even convinced that Amar was as pampered, as everyone claims. Think about it: The dad's first reaction always appears to be a beating. Isn't that sort of weird if you aren't somewhat inclined? But more importantly, think about how often this eight-year-old was left to his own devices and even left in charge of the house! Yes, child-minding appears to be seen quite relaxed there, but leaving a baby with an eight-year-old? And come on! He supposedly strangled, carried, mangled and buried that baby in less than thirty minutes. Are we supposed to believe mom's story on this? It's ridiculous! I had to bury several pets about the size of a babe and I wasn't done that quick!

[@alkahinat4558]

Absolutely. Neglect or coddling can create narcissistic tendencies and they are at opposite ends of the spectrum, same results though.

My friend has a 6 year old daughter who never gets any discipline and is always treated like a little princess and she's an absolute psycho. Always breaking other kids' toys, hurting them, ruining their food etc and laughing about it. She's been kicked out of TWO schools, but my friend is convinced her daughter is a little angel. I'm scared to watch her grow up

[@JustAndreaEdna]

I knew my nephew was a killer from the time he was a toddler last Nov. age 13, he killed a family friend's child. My husband and I were trying to talk to his parents into getting him helped for years. But they swore up and down he is a good boy and everyone else is the problem. He ran in the house right after the murder screaming about where he had placed the injury. Something that wouldn't be released from the coroner's office for days. He also admitted to the murder at the time of his arrest. Since being in prison has changed the story and is now saying he will not admit to something he didn't do and has found god. We knew for years that he bounced from school to school, into watching sadistic things on the dark web, and had been seen around the neighborhood abusing animals. As he got older, he started a midnight fight club. He then escalated to stealing vehicles and doing drugs such as meth, mushrooms, and his own prescription of adderall which he was given to take as he wanted. How many deaths can be prevented if people are not blinded by love and pride in their name. And all the while claiming to be Christian and saying Amen all over social media.

[@nicolecampbell208]

I had custody of a friend's child (she had cancer, father was just useless) from age 6-14. I'd known the boy since age 1... my daughter, my dogs, and I survived his attempts to kill us. Everything from starting fires in the house to poisoning my coffee creamer. My esophagus is still healing from all that but at least we still have our lives.

[@alienangel777]

Regarding the question about the nature/nurture debate: I asked my therapist once what makes the difference between extremely abused children who grow up to be good people and want to help others and those who become violent offenders/serial killers. She said research shows that the only objective thing in common among abuse survivors that lead positive lives is that they had ONE person in their lives that they could lean on and could support them, whether it be a sibling (even if they are both being abused), a teacher, family friend or relative (sans the head injury factor). That always stuck with me.

[@happilyevernever4289]

Yeah u can see the parents did everything wrong. They didn't get the help he needed. They went straight to beating him up rather than trying to understand him and teach him why the things he did was wrong. Also they enabled him which made him think he can go around and murder people. The family needs to get jail time as well.

I mean I never actually I had someone to lean on. I will say though I had hobbies and maladaptive day dreaming. So I escaped internally 🤔. Then again probably because of that I’m not interested in helping others . I just want to mind my own business

[@LoveYourself-my9nz]

Not really! It might be true for extreme cases but mostly it's about teaching children about taking responsibility for their actions and consequences. Like even how bad your experience has if you do wrong to others then what's the difference between you and the abuser who abused you! There are some things which can be justified( like trust issues, anger or emotional breakdown, harsh talking style) but some can't( bullying others, being physically violent toward innocent people and killing someone). Teaching children that never do something to others which you never want to be done to yourself actually really affects them. I live in a place where beating children is so normal and most of the children get beaten up by their parents. But you know what I have seen children who are really kind and innocent who come from a family where their parents beat them for every sh*t. You know what I noticed that even if children go through abuse never justify their wrong actions only then they become better people.

[@LoveYourself-my9nz]

Extreme cases are little different because it doesn't happen to most people. So the therapist advice is for extreme cases but lots of people go through abuse in their household and this advice doesn't really work for them.

[@sjay7209]

Ahhh yes the son syndrome or the little emperor syndrome as we call it in Taiwanese culture. My ex husband was the first born son and he was spoiled rotten and became very narcissistic and extremely controlling. We have one son who is also first born child and first born grandchild in the family and is still the only boy so that side of the family was doing the same type of thing to my son and I put a stop to it. My son was raised by me alone and I made him work and take accountability and be responsible for everything he did. He was provided for well but not spoiled by any means. He is an adult now and attends university and works 7 days a week straight with no breaks. He is kind and respectful, he will help anyone who needs it and give them whatever he has. He is nothing like his father and I am happy about that. It’s a real problem when boys are made to be more important and ruined by spoiling while girls are not important at all. I don’t accept that and I won’t allow my son to view girls that way either period

[@pixie12]

As a woman who was raised by the same type of spoiled narcissistic man as your ex is just as bad. Especially when it’s a Mormon family, so it’s the typical “women should be seen and not heard.” I have spent my entire life battling my inner demons resulting from this kind of environment and it’s absolutely horrendous. While I appreciate that I’ve been spoiled financially, I’m also aware that it’s been a detriment to my development into adulthood. Correcting my lack of work ethic and negative personality traits is a job in itself.

When it comes to child development, it's been said that the most crucial milestones in a kid's life occur by the age of 7. In fact, the great Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, “Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man.” I don’t hold out much hope for this serial killer in that case.

[@SweetforS]

@@inkompetenzkompensationsko4188it’s also said in Christian philosophy and in philosophy and psychology in general. Child’s consciousness (basic) is mostly formed by around the age of 7 or 8 maybe 9 at the latest. Some earlier, some later. Now that’s not the brain but it is what tells you the idea of right versus wrong. So a7 year old can recieve worse punishment than a 3-5 year old would. It’s why holy communion is typically after 2nd grade, whej a kid is 7-8 and can now decide for themselves that they think yes this is right and I want it for myself.

"I actually didn't feel that much excitement when I tried strangling her because she *wasn't fighting back"* I know our world is fucked up but that blew me away. how in the devil's name would he know that people usually "fight back"?? it wasn't until adulthood that I learned the truth about strangulation; how slow and ugly of a death it really is. I used to think once someone presses their hands around a neck... its over. very quickly. I used to think there isn't any fighting or moving around once someone is actively being strangled. only in early 20s I learned through shows and docos how messy it is, how hard to take the life of a human that way. but how the hell does an 8 year old know that?? how does he even think of that, and why does he desire that? how does he know to have that desire in mind, to want a squirming, fighting victim? this is like straight out of hell. actually nightmarish. I can't imagine the fear of anyone who came in contact with him. its like metting the devil's son

That was a hard time for so many people. I was 4 when it happened, and live 3 hours away from the location.

My own son just turned 13 and I could never imagine him doing anything even remotely like Thompson and Venables done. Absolutely disgusting and the fact that Thompson has been free since 2001 with a new identity, and Venables has been released multiple times is just wrong on so many levels.

[@kachionyeka6198]

Honestly think he deserves life in prison. If this crime stopped at the murder of his cousin I can understand him being given a chance. He's 8, possibly could've have made a mistake & didn't know any better. But he's done this crime more than once, also hiding/sneaking to do the crime when it was committed. No longer an accident at this point. Just sad his aunt & family didn't press charges against him, he deserved life. As always thanks for covering eye opening cases Stephanie.
