6 weeks ago in the tiny seaside community of Stoneville NL an 8 year old boy got into the garden of a neighbour-who had gone to a Dr. appointment-and tortured and killed his little dog with a barbeque fork. The police were helpless to do anything as he was under 12.It seems that Mommy and Daddy didn't think it was really serious and neglected to get dear Jr. any help or treatment.On Wednesday past this little demon went into the garden of another neighbour and tortured and killed over a dozen pet ducks and chickens with impliments ranging from a large wooden mallet,a pitchfork and broken beer bottles.I shudder to think what this little devil's spawn would do if the oppurtunity arose where a baby was left unattended for just moments anywhere he was around.I imagine that province wide outrage and horror will prompt this little monster's parents to get him professionally assessed and treated before this violence escalates toward humans.We know all too well how Jeffery Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy got started on the path of psychopathy-killing and torturing animals.

Sick stuff. Not much else that can be said about it. I don't think a mind like this can be "rehabilitated". This kid should never be allowed to live in the general population for the rest of his life. Obviously too young for the death penalty, which i do support, but there is a lethal injection with his name on it in the near future.

GUILD GUITARS: MADE TO BE PLAYED!

Yes, there is obviously some problems here, and that kind of behaviour at that age realy has to be down to the parents. However, on saying that he is still only eight. This is not so far outwith the "sensitive period" of a childs mental development. Research has shown that if he gets good help, he may recover and function "normally"

We don't know about the childs background here. Why has he acted like this? Has he himself been abused, and is merely acting in the only way he has seen those close to him act? Or mabye he haas been deprived of suitable emotional care, and this is simply a way of getting the attention of those who should be caring for him. There are many reasons aa child may act like this, and despite the examples I have given, it is not neccesarrily the parents fault. Then theres the argument of the medical model. There may be a physical defect in the child (hormone inbalances, damaged brain cells etc)

This is disturbing, but what I find more disturbing than the childs actions are that the parents are doing nothing. I hope that since this has come to light social services will get involved and ensure that this child recieves the help he deserves, and needs

I have been very interested in abnormal psychology for years and have read extensively about the subject,what is most disturbing is his total lack of empathy and remorse and apparently he doesn't feel that he should be punished or done anything wrong,these are absolute signs of psychopathy and sociopathy.

as bad as the parents may be, they might not have anything to do with it... the fact that he experimented with different forms of torture and killing says, at least in my opinion, that he finds it fun and amusing. if this is the case, then he may have some sort of brain damage from birth... no amount of bad parenting will make killing things in the most gruesome way he can think of fun.

That makes me want to throw up.
If his parents let him roam around free and unsupervised then his indoor time is most likely unsupervised as well. That means he probably has access to anything he wants to see on the TV/computer/video games. He's probably absorbing all sorts of things unfiltered by his parents. If my child were caught torturing and brutally killing any living thing, particularly a dog, I would be extremely concerned and I'd do everything in my power to make sure it never happened again. Obviously his parents don't give a crap about it.

This young fella didn't have a chance from day one,he's a product of in-breeding-his parents are cousins(which is a recipe for genetic problems such as mental and physical anomalies)his father/cousin shoots anything that has a heartbeat-whether illegal or not and his total lack of supervision and guidance.I have been a member/supporter of The Canadian Wildlife Federation and CPAWS(Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society) for years and have instilled in my daughters Mahatma Ghandi's"Reverence for Life" ,even bugs and spiders are gently picked up and deposited outside. They were always bringing home stray and injured animals and to this day have a great love and respect for wildlife so much so that the eldest is a Wildlife Conservation Officer.Too bad this youngster didn't have this kind of guidance, it would be in his best interest to permanently remove him from this poisoness environment and place him somewhere where he can get the help and nurturing that has been absent from his life up to now. My only worry is that behaviour has become too firmly imprinted in him to eradicate it from him.

From what I've heard of his father-he does-he has an unhealthy obsession with guns and hunting to the extreme.

I don't have a problem with guns or hunting (if it's legal), but some people take it way too far. Personally I enjoy shooting non-living targets with my pellet gun (it's a lot of fun), but to be around any kind of gun you need to have a profound sense of respect for the gun and for life. If you teach a little kid that killing is fun then it's going to cause serious problems down the road.

Parents are responsible for their Children's behavior, if you jail those parents they will learn to take responsibilty for their lack of good parenting and if other "bad" parents hear the news of jail time for the parents instead of the kids that may change some of this irresponsible behavior by "bad" parents.

well, first i want to say that i don't condone anything this little punk has done. he's tortured and killed some animals. should he be put in an institution or prison for the rest of his life? i say NO. as a young boy my friends and me did some cruel things that i am ashamed of. we killed birds, rabbits, you name it. we were just plain mean kids who knew how not to get caught. until........ one day. i shot one of my uncles marlins with a pellet gun and he found the bird. he whipped my $@! with a belt and told me exactly why he was doing it. that put a stop to that. however, neither me or my buddys ever went on a serial killing spree.
the kid needs supervision. just look around these days at humans who actually kill other humans and get a walk from our "justice" system. if you got money, you can buy your way out. to me, that is far worse than an unsupervised CHILD torturing the neighbors animals.
i can PROMISE ya'll this. if this kid did anything to my animals, i'd whip his $@! and his daddys $@!. after that i'd call the police myself and take my punishment. but, they'd stay the hell off my property.
this whole story is sad. someone is probably writing a book about it as we speak.

I have read about this.

I think this kid is a ticking timebomb. he doesn't stand much of a chance.

Like has been said, he is a product of inbreeding, and the standard of parenting is terrible as well, but really how good of a parent do you think someone who sleeps with their cousin is going to be. You also have to wonder how big a step it can be from parental incest to child abuse incest, and whether that may be involved.

His experiments with torture and killing are progressing, and there have already been several missed opportunities for intervention. there doesn't seem to be a lot of hope for any change in the near future.

This is a kid who desperately needs help. he is suffering from either(most likely both,) severe emotional damage, and/or some kind of physical or neurological ailment. These kinds of issues only multiply if left untreated and unchecked.

Not only is this kid already living a tragedy, he appears to be well along the path of learning how to spread his misery. Seems a potent mix of bad brain chemistry meeting with bad ideas.

Sadly I don't see any kind of happy ending for this child.

im totally against animal cruelty, and as twelvebar said his parents are inbreed, and that means that he had a very strong chance of being born disabled, and if he thinks its cool to kill or torture animals then he must have a severe problem

i'm thinking the kid just needs a better game console. maybe PS-3 or something in 3-D. you know like the rich kids. you can kill and kill with other folks all around the world and compete at killing. maybe get him an animal killing game. or better yet, get him an i-phone with an animal killing app. or does he already have this stuff? i don't know.
folks, there are criminals walking the streets as we speak with DWI's, rape convictions, child molesters and so on..... not to mention actual muderers. we're talking about a CHILD.
on second thought, just kill him. but do it in public.
