Summary

Little girls are often thought to be quite sweet, but not all children are good. Mary Bell was not yet a teenager when she killed two little boys. This shocking crime shook her English hometown because it just made no sense. How could a little girl so badly harm two little boys? What could drive a ten-year-old child to commit such grueling acts? Most countries donโ€™t have many effective ways to prosecute this kind of behavior in a child, which led to some interesting results here.
