Charles Manson was born on November 12,1934. to a woman named Kathleen Maddox a 16 year old alcoholic and prostitute. Charles was placed at boy school because his mother didn't want him. When Charles went to look for her she told him she didn't want him around. that is when Charles Manson was living and the streets and got into crime.
Charles Manson was guilty for crimes that he didn't do. But he was found guilty for sending people to kill other for him. For example Gary Hinman is killed by one of the Manson followers which was bobby beausoleil. another example, Manson send a group of his most ardent followers to kill a group of five people near Hollywood. Now Charles Manson is in prison for life. today at the age of 80 he is still in prison at Corcoran State Prison.
The whole reason for this 3 paragraph is that to never follow people. In my opinion I think it depends in the situation. There are many people today that are a great role model for young people today. Some celebrities today are good role models to young girl for example Demi Lovato and Lorde who they tell there fans to be them self and to not follow others. But there is always a negative side sometimes it bad to follow people who do harm to others.
