I'm not aware of any other killings by Joe Ball.

Swear up and down that I saw spots and got a bolt of lightheadedness when reading that.

Animal cruelty is one of the most major indicators of the probability human violence.

yet another reason I get steamed when people say "it's just a dog" or another animal. It's almost always where they get their start and it gets easier every time.

Cruelty to animals, bedwetting, and arson are the "trifecta" when it comes to determining a child's likeliness to become a serial killer. Usually a male child, but not always. I freaked (on the inside) when my boys would wet the bed occasionally....put me on guard for the other two factors, which thankfully never materialized.

As for Victoria Dalton, I would not classify her as a serial killer.....just a very troubled young girl who had too much responsibility placed upon her at a very young age. That was a really sad case.

Bedwetting by itself is perfectly normal....it's just when you have a kid that wets the bed up to age 12 or so, combined with cruelty to animals and arson tendencies, the chances are markedly increased that the child will evolve into a serial killer. But no, just having an accident is no cause for alarm.

Let me make perfectly clear before I get blasted, there are other tendencies as well....but the 3 I listed are very commonplace among serial killers. They are not THE ONLY 3. Thanks.

Usually in older children. It is a form of control and manipulation of parents and guardians.
