Charles Carl Roberts IV Said He Molested in the Past and Dreamed of it Again
The killings perpetrated by Charles Carl Roberts IV in Nickle Mines, PA was a tragic as it was senseless. To date five innocent, little school girls have died for what can only be described as the actions of a deranged lunatic. Charles Carl Roberts, the man that every one thought was a mild mannered and kind dad, turns out to be a man haunted by his past actions and his mind.
NICKEL MINES, Pa. – A man who laid siege to a one-room Amish schoolhouse told his wife he had molested young children decades ago and left a note saying he had “dreams of molesting again,” state police Commissioner Jeffrey B. Miller said Tuesday.
Police said they could not confirm the claim by Charles Carl Roberts IV and that family members knew nothing of the alleged molestation.
The shootings were senseless as even the reasons provided in notes by Charles Carl Roberts make no sense. Why would he take human life by being burdened by a 20 year old issue where he claims to have molested prior? In essence he turned his dreams into reality; however, instead of molesting the school girls, he attempted to kill them all instead?
Roberts wrote his wife and children suicide notes, took three guns and ammunition and went to the West Nickel Mines Amish School ready for an extended siege. He also had sex lubricant with him, but there was no evidence that any of the Amish children had been sexually assaulted, Miller said. (MSNBC)

Why can’t these guys tell someone when they start going into the zone where they can’t think of anything else but murdering someone?
The problem that I have with it is that this guy had the voices speaking to him and he knew what they were telling him was wrong. Instead of telling someone, maybe his very closest friend, and asking for help; he chooses to keep it quiet as if its unspeakable. It’s so bad that you can’t even talk about it and yet it’s not so bad that you can’t do it. What’s up with that?
And then they always take people with them. Now that’s the really sick part. They know that they are going to die, because they have already laid out their plan, but do they have to do that last deed against the innocent? against the unsuspecting? against those that have absolutely no control over whatever it is that is making them so mad? That’s the part that really bothers me.
All those sicko’s out there, if you want to die, then die; but for God’s sake, stop taking our children with you. Could it be any clearer than that?
This guy was truly delusional but that is no excuse. He had a whole family that he could have talked to that would have loved him through his problems. He had the whole Amish community right there if he wanted to find God and then he asks a child (You HEAR me????? A child) to pray for him before he kills her.
Burn the School, Burn all the Schools if we can’t send our children there anymore without having sicko’s like these.
Our children don’t need to be learning THAT kind of lesson.
Until you SPEAK OUT, you can’t change anything and the voices are going to win…. the Devil is playing games with you and we (the real people) are the only ones that can save you.
So if there are anymore people out there that can’t get the thought of hurting someone or school killings or a movie or a song out of their mind, please, please talk to your families…. they can help you and they will always love you no matter what, remember??????
