Why did Freddy Krueger kill children in the first place when he was alive?

Answer 1

Freddy Krueger was burnt alive by the parents of the children he had murdered. But then the children of Elm Street began seeing him and meeting him in their dreams where he continued to kill them.

He killed them because he is a psychotic maniac.

Answer 2

Freddy kills the children of Elm Street. Freddy was killed by a group of parents after being accused of molesting the children. The legal system failed the families and Freddy was set free so the parents took it upon themselves to exact revenge. They found him in the boiler room and set it on fire with him inside. Now Freddy seeks his own revenge on the children of Elm Street.

Answer 5

He was a pedophile. Pedophile like to abuse children, sexually or with violence. Some people are just born pedophile. Others become pedophiles, because they were abused as children and they in turn abuse children as adult. There is no known cure for being a pedophile. Once a pedophile, always a pedophile according to the best known information.

Please note that Freddy Krueger is NOT a pedophile in any of the original movies. He is only a pedophile in the new remakes that started coming out this year (2010).
