What ever happened to the children of Charles Manson?

Answer 1

After the arrest of Manson, Krenwinkle, Atkins, Van Houten and Watson the entire 'family' residence was raided. The children were taken into protective custody. Some were returned to their rightful parents. Others were put up for adoption.

Linda Kasabian had to leave her small daughter at the ranch with the family just to escape. Later she was reunited with her child and later gave birth to a son she named Angel. After the ordeal of the murders and the trial in which she had a starring role, Linda disappeared for many years. Just recently she has come out to talk about what happened in 1969. She has had a good life, she is now a grandmother but she never forgets that Sharon Tate would be a grandmother also had she been allowed to live.

Answer 2

After the arrest of Manson and the 5 other family members involved in the Tate-LaBianca homicides, the entire ranch was raided and the minor children were taken into custody. Some were returned to their biological mothers. The rest were declared wards of the court and put into foster homes until it could be decided what was best for them.

Linda Kasabian had to leave her young daughter with the 'family' in able to escape. She later won back custody. She was truly a good mother. Kasabian returned to her mother's home and gave birth to a second child, a boy, she named Angel. Soon after the birth of her son, Kasabian testified against Manson, Van Houten, Krenwinkle, Atkins, and later Watson at his separate trial. Thanks to her these people were convicted and taken out of society.

Answer 3

I'm assuming that you mean his followers not his biological family. With Manson's conviction for multiple murders his 'family' slowly began to fall apart. In his absence Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme became the surrogate leader and she did try to keep it together, but without Manson's brainwashing the cohesion was gone. Linda Kasabian, star witness for the prosecution, returned to her hometown in the midwest. She now lives in the pacific northwest under a new name. Most of them now are parents and grandparents and few like to talk about the time they spent with Charles Manson. Manson himself is now quite elderly, and has been denied parole every time a hearing for it has come up. He remains unrepentant.

Answer 4

The children of Manson's defunk 'family' are spread far and wide. After Manson's arrest in late 1969 the family had lost it's driving force and the cohesion of Manson's personality, which consisted of brainwashing techniques, fear and drugs. In the publicity blitz that followed the arrest and trial of the killers, many of the children living in the desert as the youngest family members were removed from their parents (mostly the young women that were not arrested) and relocated to foster care or biological family of the cult members. I suspect most have not been told of their earliest days in Manson's den of iniquity. If they have they have kept it to themselves. With the exception of the son of Mary Brunner and Mason, little is known about their lives after Manson.

Answer 5

It is a violation of WikiAnswers Privacy Policy to post names of non-celebrities. The family members of convicted persons are not celebrities by no more virtue than their relation to someone who has benn convicted, so you will not find more than a basic explanation here.

It is very hard to locate Manson's children due to the fact that having such a notorious parent makes them shy away from publicity. Much as they perhaps should as demonstrated by this attempt to invade their privacy.

What can be said is that Manson's first son is deceased, a suicide.

Answer 6

He committed suicide in 1993. Since there is almost no information available it would be a guesstimate at best as to his frame of mind and why he ended his own life.

Answer 7

Most are near or over the age of 60. Nearing retirement age. Some are still in prison.
