You could just tell them you have just killed a future Hitler.

^^yeah. Waiting for him to become a criminal wouldn't work because then he's already too powerful and there's also the problem of different timelines. CC did adress that (badly but still). We don't know what the present wuld look like if there never had been a first wizard war. That's a pretty big difference we're tackling here, more than just attending more classes to study more

@Ian Guy and how would society (especially Muggle society, since it's about him being a child) react to that? Do you really believe they won't just assume you're a crazy, heartless monster with delusions?

Okay, are you just not going Voldemort early on because of some moral epiphany?

Who cares if he's a baby or not?

When I want to save my life, I'm not condemming myself to a life in a mental hospital. Especially considering the time he was born and the way mentally ill people were treated back then

You know the only way to do this is to have a Time Turner on you right? Just go back to where you came from in time.

That’s not how time turners work

^exactly. CC is canon proof. If you drastically change the past and then return to the future the entire future is changed (now if we are to follow that logically that would either mean that there is now no reason to go back in time, thus you never got back in time, thus this new time doesn't exist and the timetravel has cancelled itself out, OR you're not actually travelling back in time but rather travel to a whole other timeline)

Yes I know that.
