"Oh, he probably wasn't really attached to his own pet. Oh well"

HAH. Stupidest argument I've ever heard in my life.
I agree entirely with Omis. It's not just like killing a spider.

The trauma , I think, stems from being forced by your maternal unit to do something completely sick and sociopathic for a relatively minor reason. For some reason I think being in a foster home might be a bit better than having a psychopathic woman as a caretaker, Mother or not.

The kid is going to grow up with that question. "Why would she make me do that? Why did I do that?"

Well either that or he doesn't ask that, and becomes as deranged as his mother obviously is. The foster home is just a little extra baggage.

WTF, man?!

I know! I was like, wait, really? I shudder to think what kinda men they turned out to be, or if they've had children of their own.

The thing about the shotgun to the dog's face tho? uh... HAHAHAHAHA that sucks, man. Christ almighty you all have some vivid *** imaginations. Now thanks to reading that I'm plagued with visions of a shotgun blast to a dog's face at point blank range.

*bangs head into desk*

nope... still seeing it. ><

>.>

at any rate, this kind of "mothering" seems a tad off to say the least. I mean, unless they lived on a dirt farm and she shoveled **** for a living, she could have taken his video games away, or barred him from the tv. something. but forcing your child to kill their pet is definitely a sign of a maladjusted individual, and whether or not she'll be able to return to her duties as a parent will rest heavily on her psychiatric evaluation.

I wonder how she "made" him do it, or if she like, held his hand while his held the hammer, and then whacked it. Plus a 12 yo isn't exactly strong, I bet it took a few whacks.

OH WAIT, this kinda reminds me of the time my grandpa nursed a goose back to health that'd had a broken wing and found its way onto the property. my mom had spent a lot of time w/it, feeding it and caring for it.

Then he had it slaughtered and served it up for dinner, hahaha... she wasn't impressed.

no ok those are nothing alike, but it reminds me of that story.

 

[Masmasher@]

I hope she doesnt get her child back until she goes through a mental institution maybe not get him back at all... after her sentence...
Seriously some of you brush this off but shes ****ed up. That poor kid. life is precious and while its not another human to come on here and devalue that creatures existance is not relevant discussion and it shows how cold hearted some of you are... You wouldnt be happy if you were that hamster. Shes deranged. the fact that she came up with such a diabolic punishment proves shes a *****.

 

[Luigitoilet]

You wouldnt be happy if you were that hamster. .

No ****. We would be dead.

edit: also hamsters don't have feelings anyways.

 

[Red Arremer]

They do have physical feelings. If all animals are capable of having emotions is still unclear, although more intelligent animals (cats, dogs, etc.) are indeed capable of it.

 

[Chris Lionheart]

Wow.... poor hamster... and poor kid. It's things like that that cause people to grow up as serial killers and whatnot.

Shoot your dog. Shoot him in the face with a 12 gauge shot gun. Look at the wounds inflicted in his face. Observe to tiny fragments of skull collateral around him. Think about how you just murdered your best friend.


Are you so stupid as to think that an experience like that will not traumatize a child?

When are you people going to get that I wasn't talking about the trauma to the child? I've said that what, 3 times? The ANIMAL CRUELTY SENTENCE should not factor in the trauma to the child. Then the story is just appealing to the emotions of the judge.

Sure, it might traumatize the child. But the kid's twelve. Twelve=/=six. Most twelve year olds have been exposed to much worse than seeing a dead hamster, even one that belonged to you that you had to kill yourself. Besides, when you were twelve, would you have cared about a hamster? A dog I can understand, but most twelve year olds would much make their parents feed/take care of the hamster then do it themselves. Dogs and hamsters are completely different creatures. Dogs can honestly be someone's friend, don't try to tell me you can do that with a hamster, that just doesn't work. A hamster is an animal you get when you want a pet and your parents won't let you get a dog.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

The hamster is in a better place now, eating their seeds and takin a **** on their floors while their having motocross races all day.

KND reference lol

But seriously it's bad enough if she just killed it herself, but made her son do it?

That's ****ed up!

C'mon you'll have a much harder time living w/o parents than a pet

 

[Charlesz]

Vrael has a point lol.

 

[Mr.Freeman]

There's kind of a difference between shooting your dog and smashing your hamster.

Like Old Yeller, except this was senseless violence, and that was putting him out of his misery.

The ANIMAL CRUELTY SENTENCE should not factor in the trauma to the child.

I agree with this, but not with the rest of your post, so I'll just weigh in on this part. If she were going around randomly killing animals, I would call that animal cruelty. In this case, I think the hamster was an unfortunate bystander because her real intention was to harm her son. So, for this case, I'd say child endangerment/abuse is the primary issue; animal cruelty is secondary. My view has nothing to do with the value of an animal's life or what pets are worth more than others. I don't think it would be fair for either you or I to tell a kid how much his pets are worth (it wouldn't matter if we tried, anyway). I just think that if her son had not had a pet, she would have found another way to abuse him. I also don't think she would have killed any hamsters that were not her son's, so she may not be the type of person that animal abuse laws are meant to target.

Yes, life's hard without a parent. But life's harder living with an abuser. At the very least, this mother probably needs a psych evaluation. A lot of abusers were themselves abused. Which also brings up the question of how this kid is going to treat his own children if he has any in the future. If no one steps in to stop his mother, what are the chances of him repeating her mistakes and perpetuating the cycle?

Arf?

See what you did, Omis?

I definitely agree about how the hamster was just the bystander.

That's true. Either way, it's difficult. His mother screwed him over. Either he doesn't have a mom around, or he lives with an abusive parent. There's no good solution that I can think of right off the bat.

Killing animals when not needed is wrong. This mothers logic, "If you don't do something right then things will die" or "You kill things when you make mistakes".
