The Lindbergh KidnappingCrimes happen all the time. But when it happens to young children who have no way to defend themselves and haven't lived their lives to the fullest, it becomes a whole other thing. Children are innocent and no one ever wants to see them hurt. That's why it was such a shock, when the crime of the century was the kidnapping and murder of a child. Lindbergh's kidnapping shocked Americans everywhere, and made them realize the possible dangers of celebrities having famous children, even before them. they are born because of their parents. It has influenced the way parents choose to raise their children, especially famous ones. That's what happened to the famous aviator and his wife's 20-month-old baby. Charles Lindbergh was the first person to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone, so everyone loved him. When he and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh brought their firstborn together, everyone loved him even before he was born. Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. was born on June 22, 1930. From the beginning the media wanted the scoop on everything with him; they called him "The Eaglet". He got that name because the media had already given Mr. Lindbergh the nickname "The Lonely Eagle," since he was the first to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean. Two months before the actual kidnapping Charles Lindbergh, Charles Jr.' His father actually played a prank on the family by pretending that the child had been kidnapped. Since he was everyone's treasure, the press was around for the whole family to get the new photos. That's why the already famous husband and wife took their now famous son and moved to another house. They were trying to escape the limelight by building a 20-room house in an exclusive location... middle of paper... and if the killer was a German, they wanted to see him dead. All the time came to create a horrible mix, everyone was scared and very excited. This also made everyone realize the danger of leaving children unsupervised at all times, especially when you consider that they put the Lindbergh child on a pedestal, and he still got kidnapped and killed. They couldn't help but be terrified of what might happen to their children who were nowhere near as lucky as Charles Jr.Works quoted: ("The Stolen Eagle") http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders /famous/lindbergh/index_1.html (“PBS”) http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/lindbergh/sfeature/crime.html Works Cited: (“The Stolen Eagle”) http: // www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/famous/lindbergh/index_1.html (“PBS”)http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/lindbergh/sfeature/crime.html
