Editing Ian Brady (section)

==Background==
Brady was born in Glasgow illegitimatly to a single mother. He grew up in an extremely tough slum neighbourhood and showed troubled signs of dysfunctional behaviour early on. He was adopted by another family and raised as one of them, although still remained in contact with his biological mother.

When he started high school, he developed a fascination with [[Nazi Germany]] and became known for perverse and sadistic tendencies, including bullying smaller children and [[Torture|torturing]] animals in a variety of grotesque ways.

By the time he was a teenager, he had repeatedly been brought before the juvenile courts for incidents of burglary and housebreaking, before being ordered to move to Manchester to live with his real mother.

He began working at a chemical firm, where he met Myra Hindley, although it was not for several months did they begin to "date". The relationship between Brady and Hindley developed in concert with Brady's increasingly rabid identification with Nazi-era atrocities and his growing sadomasochistic sexual appetite. Hindley was Brady's eager student. Under his influence, she stopped going to church and started hating children.
