It would only be for a day or two.  After all, wasn't he safer in the children's ward than anywhere else. 

How could they know that Liam would never leave hospital alive.  Three more children would die too.  Nine more would be lucky to escape with their lives. 

It sounded horrifying, impossible.  But could there be a serial killer stalking the children's ward.  Was there an angel of death in Nurse's uniform, poisoning or suffocating helpless infants, bringing evil to what should have been a place of healing. 

Edward Paisnel, the son of wealthy Jersey landowners was a Jekyll and Hyde figure who terrorised the island for eleven years and in 1971 he was convicted of thirteen sex offences against young children. Paisnel was obsessed with the powers of evil. In his Hyde moments he wore a hideous rubber mask and nail-studded bracelets. And at home he had a secret room filled with the ritual tools of black magic. From his second wife, Joan, we learn of the Jekyll side of his character. To her he was a kind generous man who loved small children. Yet for his offences against children he was sentenced to thirty years.

Bloody Benders, The

 Kate Bender had just about every young man in the kansas territory fascinated. She was that kind of woman, lovely sensuous and willing to bed with them, when she wanted a favour.
