Child Ruler
A child ruler is someone holding an office of sovereign and temporal authority who has not yet reached the age of majority in their culture. Before modern times this generally seems to have been around age 15 or 16.

History of Jean-Claude Duvalier
Jean-Claude was one of the first child rulers for Haiti. He became a child ruler at the age of 19 after his father Francois Duvalier passed away. Jean-Claude went by the nickname of baby doc and even though he was known as a child ruler he was exiled from Haiti to France. Jean-Claude had a lot of money but his wife took half in his divorce where as though it crippled him with money. He also argues that the exile ruins his life. He returns to Haiti from his exile where he died on October 4, 2014, in Port-au-Prince. That's just some of the history from Jean-Claude. Jean-Claude wasn't really considered a child when he became a child ruler. There were some rulers who actually came into power at the age of eight. At that age Jean-Claude had no ideas what a child ruler was, He was not trained to be a child ruler either. His father, Francois Duvalier nominated him without knowing the consequences. Jean-Claude was content to let him forceful led by power, money, and women he had. He was considered in history one of the worst child rulers ever to existence. He actually was put on the top ten worst child ruler list in the history of child rulers. Jean-Claude lived a crazy lifestyle once he became ruler. He spent most of his earning going out in fancy cars while Haiti suffered living in nothing but misery. www.oddee.com/item_99033.aspx https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/05/world/americas/jean-claude-duvalier-haitis-baby-doc-dies-at-63.html?_r=0
