Evil Child
October 19, 2009
Does an evil child exist? Children can be naughty, mischievous, a little disobedient or sometimes violent. But seriously, can they really be termed as anomaly of the dark forces?
Many popular movies have chosen children as evil characters like the Prodigal son, Omen (The movie series depicts the life of the devil’s child who grows into adulthood spreading evil. It’s in five parts).
Exorcist also shows a young girl being possessed with evil forces. In the movie The Ring, the tragedy strikes a young girl and she comes back for revenge.
An evil mother goes door to door delivering her children in happy families. She leaves her newborn in a large family and disappears. The adorable baby is forced to be looked after by the concerned family that is already is filled with kids. This child is actually evil who slowly kills all the other children to become the only child of the family. This may sound silly but the movie – God’s Gift did have a lot of fan following in the early eighties.
Children are truly made to look ghastly in most Japanese movies with ash complexion and jet black contact lens. They hide in crevices, lofts and wardrobes creating a sinister backdrop to the movie like in Grudge I and Grudge II.
The latest movie to add to this list of evil children is Orphan. As the name suggests a child is adopted to a loving home of two children. This child then starts showing her true colors of controlling the lives of the inhabitants of the household. But this movie did turn on the tables in the end when it turned out that she wasn’t really a child but pretending to be one.
Personally, I can never believe that there can be evil boy or an evil girl. A child can never be evil unless he is trained to be one since his early age. His environment could be a negative, surrounding him with violence but he certainly cannot be born with such traits.
But the brutal truth is that many filmmakers use children as evil characters. Are they deriving their themes from real life situations? If so, where do evil children come from? Your insights and views will be valuable.

Got something to say?
I believe some children are evil. They are human beings and that is the natural state of all human beings. Some people (children included) are more evil than others. The thought of a child as all sweet and innocent is a big misconception. I think some mean and conniving children are the products of their environment. They only know what they see, hear and experience. And some children grow up in an unhealthy environment. Sometimes the abnormal and dysfunctional is the norm for them because that is the only thing they have ever known. Also, I think that some behaviors are hereditary. Children are no different than an adult. They will lie, scheme and plot to get what they want or to hurt and get revenge on someone who has made them angry. I have seen this a lot and it is sad that some young people are this vicious. Whether you like it or not, there are evil children in this world and it is sad that people have to be exposed to human beings like this.
Hello Margaret,
Thank you for sharing your insight. I really appreciate your contribution to this topic as most people are still blinded by a child’s innocence.
I do believe in the concept of evil children but from a paranormal basis. Your work and findings on paranormal activities is very broad and informative. Well coming to the point I do not know what is your stand in the creation of man but according to the Holy Bible, it is said that man was created by God but there is a small cache to the statement bcoz in Hebrew and Jewish transcripts of the Holy Bible it does mention of another woman that is being created before the so called first woman on Earth, Eve who is named as Lilith. It is said that Lilith did not want to be submissive to Adam, the first man on Earth and she had revolted to leave the garden of Eden where they were placed by God and went to the seas in the northern part of Eden which was the seas and there she mates with one of the fallen angel, Samael. When the angels of God Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof, came to take her back to the garden of Eden, she refused and in turn God said that He would kill all the children Lilith would conceive and in rebellion against God, Lilith said that in order to make herself known in the mortal world she would procreate demonic offspring endlessly and spread chaos at every turn. Thus it is said that every child which is true in every word is an offspring of Lilith and in real life they turn out to be mass murderers, rapists or some person committing dreadful felony.
I believe in evil children, anyone who can see ghosts will tell you including me. Those who have the ability to see them will tell you that there are many demon children who often try to take you with them and get revenge on others by using you.
Yes, there evil children. Just look at westboro vulture church. Even the youngest kids in that church are pure evil.
