Yes I think this was wrong and totally cruel and ignorant of this so called mother.
Hunting and/or shooting rodents in a tree is totally different. This Hampster to many was just a rodent BUT to this kid...it was his pet..from the way I understand it...and for this mother to make him kill it for punishment is fvcked up beyond belief. No I don't see this having anything to do with the kid growing up to be a serial killer at all but it was still a very cruel and stupid thing to do. Take the Hampster away from the kid as a form of punishment...sure...no problem with that but to make him take a hammer and bash it is mental abuse for the kid imho. |

I was amplifying, to make a point. Apparently I failed.

The mom probably read a book that said to take away the thing most valuable to the kid. Maybe she tried taking the hamster and it didn't work and the kid was still being a shithead. So she decided to make him kill it. Then he called social services on his mom. And that's how we found out about the story.

Who says I am cool? I certainly don't... It's just not something that worries me. I got more important things to worry about than a mom that is in trouble for doing something retarded.

That mother is messed up! Yes, it's just a hamster, but it was his pet! She apparently has no parenting skills nor any empathy!

Btw it is illegal to psychologically abuse a child, every bit as much as it's illegal to physically abuse one. And it is everybit as damaging to the child.
