Google the name Albert Fish.

I am mad at you for suggesting I look at Albert's history.

Of his time at the orphanage, Fish remarked, "I was there 'til I was nearly nine, and that's where I got started wrong. We were unmercifully whipped. I saw boys doing many things they should not have done."

He said he continued molesting children, mostly boys younger than age six.

Fish tortured, mutilated, and murdered young children with his "implements of Hell": a meat cleaver, a butcher knife, and a small handsaw.

I stopped there.

I'm sorry to have done that. I shared his name because I found his crimes so inconsistent with what I believed about that era that it served as a corrective. Evil has always been with us.

I think our modern bureaucratic society keeps detailed records of crimes which in the past would never have been put to paper out of simple decency.
