According to the FBI the most common traits for children that later become serial killers is as follows:Fire starting, cruelty to animals, bed wetting, daydreaming that may turn to violent fantasies, compulsive masterbation and isolation.
Many of these traits are common behaviors of abused children, and it is known that a large percentage of serial killers were abused in one way or another, as children. So it is probably accurate to say that many serial killers display behaviors because they were in fact abused.
Whether they grow into serial murder or not, abused kids often times suffer from bed wetting. It may be a sign of control. Serial murder is, at it's most basic, about power and control. This fits in with bedwetting as a form of control in a child's life. It has also been theorized that a child wets or soils his/her bed as a means to keep an unwanted sexual abuser at bay. Although probably not a concious decision, it would be an effective way to ward off an unwanted predator.
There may be other reasons for the connection of serial killers and childhoold bedwetting which are still an unknown. More study is needed of these very rare type of killers.
