Robert Sandifer Biography

Robert Sandifer is one of the most popular and richest Criminal who was born on March 12, 1983 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. A young gang member was killed by Black Disciples, a Chicago gang member.

Both he and Torence grew up in 1980s neighborhoods that were rife with crime and gang violence. Hatch was convicted of murder in his twenties.

Robert Sandifer was born in Chicago, Illinois on March 12, 1983. Sandifer’s mother, Lorina Sandifer, had over 30 arrests while prostituting, many of which were drug-related. Sandifer’s father, Robert Akins, was absent throughout Sandifer’s life due to incarceration for a felony gun charge. Sandifer was physically abused from the time he was an infant. Before he was three years old, Sandifer was already known to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Physical examinations showed that Sandifer was alleged to have had cigarette burns on his arms and neck as well as linear bruising consistent with physical beatings. Lorina initially blamed the abuse on Sandifer’s father, although she later recanted.

Robert “Yummy” Sandifer (March 12, 1983 — September 1, 1994) was an 11-year- old American boy from Chicago, Illinois. Sandifer’s murder by fellow gang members in Chicago garnered national attention because of his age, resulting in his appearance on the cover of TIME magazine in September 1994. Nicknamed Yummy because of his love of cookies, standing 137 cm (4 ft 6 in), Sandifer was a young member of the street gang the Black Disciples (BD). After committing murder, arson and armed robbery, he was murdered by his own fellow gang members who feared he could become an informant, and that he was attracting too much attention towards their activities. Coverage of Sandifer’s death and retrospectives on his short, violent life were widely published in the American media. Sandifer became a symbol of the gang problem in American inner cities, the failure of social safety nets, and the shortcomings of the juvenile justice system.

Lorina Sandifer was his mother and was repeatedly arrested on drug charges. Robert Akins was also incarcerated throughout the entire life of her son. Robert Sandifer was subject to extreme abuse and neglect in his short life.
