Yes, find a home for that poor dog. Years ago I lived next door to kids who were mean to animals and, as they grew older, I caught them one day with their own dog buried up to it's neck and they were throwing rocks at its' head! When I rescued the dog and called the cops on them, they put our family through 9 years of hell, vandalizing our yard, car, mailbox, whatever. When they start that young, they're going to get worse. I like kids, too, but some people just shouldn't be parents! Grrrrrrrrrrrr is right!
