William George Bonnin was born on January 8th, 1947, in Willimantic Connecticut. His parents are Robert and Alice. He was the middle child of 3 other boys. His father and mother were both alcoholic and abusive. Another source reported his father Gambled in excess, even losing the family home. Another source reported his mother spent her free time playing bingo.Due to their chronic absences in the lives of the children they were left with their grandfather who was a convicted child molester. He also molested and abused his mother, Alice. Neighbors said the Bonnin boys were always hungry, dirty, and ill clothed. The neighbors would feed the Bonin Boys. Young Bonnin’s home was unstable and neglectful. Alice’s father was a predator. He went on to sexually abuse Bonnin and his brothers. Bonnin grew to expect sexual abuse. He knew that would be his life if he were under his grandfather's roof. Sadly, for Bonnin he learned that sexual abuse was a way of gaining power and control over others according to Dr Yardley. A source reported he later fondled a brother and neighborhood boys. When Bonin was 6 years old, he was sent to a catholic run orphanage. The reason Bonin was sent to an orphanage is because his mother Alice claimed this was a measure to protect her son from the sexual abuse her father was inflicting on her boys. Bonin told Vonda Pelto that his parents never visited him. He even thought his parents were dead because he went without seeing any of them during his time at the orphanage. As time passed Bonin was then sent to a youth detention center for reasons unknown. Bonin is age 8 and he goes through the same vicious and repetitive cycle of being sexually assaulted by an older boy. The episode unpacks who were the people who decided to give Bonin up to authority, putting a stop to his reign of terror.
