Mom made son kill hamster?

[McConnaughay]

WARM SRPINGS, Ga. — Police have arrested a Georgia woman who they say forced her son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer as punishment for earning a bad grade.



Meriwether County sheriff Steve Whitlock told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday night that the 12-year-old boy told his teacher about the killing. The teacher reported it to the Division of Family and Child Services, who contacted police.



The pet's death allegedly took place at the family's Warm Springs home.



Whitlock said 38-year-old Lynn Middlebrooks Geter faces one charge each of animal cruelty, child cruelty and battery.



He said she was arrested last week and remained in the Meriwether County jail Thursday evening. It was not immediately known if she had a lawyer.



Meriwether County is located about 90 minutes southwest of Atlanta.

Maybe, the child should consider himself lucky? Atleast he wasn't grounded for his bad grades like a normal parent would do to him. But in all seriousness aside I am once again blown away by how idiotic and psychotic this world has the ability to be. But sadly, I am not surprised, I have read articles about a lady marrying a rollercoaster, a man injecting the aids virus into his wife hoping she'd have sex with him and so on. What are your thoughts?

Poor hamster. Couldn't care less about the kid.

I appreciate the fact that you said I couldn't care less about the kid most people say I could care less.

But I'd hate to think about what it did to the child but yeah I suppose more hamster

Well that child is probably traumatized for life because of it. Being forced to take a life from someone even a pet is a terrible to thing to do to anyone. That mother should lose all rights to her children and be in prison for a while for it. She's probably messed up in the head and will probably try to plead innocent by reason of insanity in her trial most likely.

I'd rep you but I can't seem to figure out where the button went

So err... +1 imaginative

She's probably messed up in the head and will probably try to plead innocent by reason of insanity in her trial most likely.

i.e. get away with it:glare:

That's horrible!! the poor hamster! The mom deserves to be in jail forever! and the kid should never be in her custody again!

 

[Sam.]

The woman wouldn't hesitate to take the life of a hamster, so she shouldn't be allowed to have children either. I hope the kid goes to a good home, and she ends up behind bars.

I feel sorry for the kid having to kill his beloved pet.

 

[MysticSky]

That's so sad D=



People do seem to be getting stupider and stupider. >.>

I fear for our human race after reading these stories.

I'd rather be grounded than be forced to kill an animal. That's pretty stupid. And sad, too. I feel sorry for the kid.

 

[Odie]

heard about this, that poor kid will suffer emotionally for the rest of his life.





stupid idiotic mother!

It was a joke and I even said later that it was..

Some joke. Not exactly one I find very funny.

Wow. It was a joke and I even got immediately serious after it, I also find it funny that you'd take it seriously to begin with, of course you can't compare the two but that's the point it was my twisted way of emphasizing how horrible these actions were.

 

[Corleone]

That's sick. Hope she has to serve time. Honestly, that could mess that kid up emotionally if he was forced to kill his pet, because that is nothing a child should have to face.



EDIT: A joke? *slaps self face*

 

[MrMetroid]

I don't find it funny one bit

 

[sdrawkcab]

And i thought my mum was crazy...



Thats ridiculous

 

[Kasynlie]

I bet the mother machinated to have the hamster killed for quite a while. Maybe using it to control her son.
