As I've stated before, I'm sorry if this has already been asked...but does this mean that Henry has been incarcerated since he was a kid because he confessed to the murders of all those children that IT killed? And if so, why did he do this? I understand that people wouldn't possibly believe a killer clown murdered all those kids, but I don't understand why Henry would have confessed to it.
shareHe is in the mental home because he took the wrap for the murders as a kid. Henry was so messed up mentally after the encounter with It in the sewer he might have thought he really did the killings for awhile. Plus they found some evidence he was guilty in the book like the underpants of a young girl, allegedly planted by IT or IT using some power to do that. So that tied him to the incident if he confessed or not.
sharePlus in the book Henry kills his father, prompting the police to search his house and finding property of some of the murdered kids. Derry police started bullying a confession out of him, and Henry didn't mind confessing after the horrors in the sewers.
