He formed a group called the "Coming of Roses", who stole items from warehouses and wealthy individuals. After the incident, he was reported saying "I will never allow anybody to fucking abuse me ever again." He made sure to remove evidence of Charley's identity, including cutting off his fingertip and pulling teeth. Wanting revenge, Richard sought the leader of the group, Charley Lane, and eventually beat him with a wooden dowl and dumped his body off a bridge in South Jersey. They insulted and beat him severely, then left. Richard was 13 years old when a group of boys, called "The Project Boys", ganged up on him. Later on, his family moved into a new neighborhood, where he would commit his first murder. Such acts included beating and burning cats and setting dogs on fire. He released his anger out on stray animals by maiming and killing them. This lead to him hating religion and his mother. Richard grew to hate his time in Catholic school, where he was often beaten by the nuns and priests for misbehaving. Being a very religious woman, Anna would often pray and seek refuge at her church, and later forced Richard to become an altar boy there.

This combination of isolation and abuse would mold him into the adult he became. Other kids would insult his appearance and call him names. A policeman with the name of Pat Kane investigated him with the help of one of Kuklinski’s long time friends.
