Serial Killer In The Making

[Puckstop31]

You are right on the mark. This is a monster. Unless he gets some serious help it will be too late to save him, at 7 it probably is now. Past the age of 5 if a child does not have a moral compass, compassion for others studies show he/she never will.
Not sure what to do with these kids, except to find a way to protect the public from them.

I pray to God that you never have children. You attitude about them is horrible.

A kid *wanting* to feed a crocodile is one thing, just like wanting to drive a train or be a policeman with a gun but this kid actually went and did it. He broke into the zoo first. Then he killed animals by bashing their heads in. Then he fed some to the alligator. I don't know what makes a serial killer but something is not right with this kid, that's for sure. Either he has no clue that any of these things he did were wrong, or he does know. Both are equally disturbing.

Puckstop, Marigold DOES have children. Her attitude about young budding psychopaths is pretty par for the course with what studies say about young kids abusing animals.

Obviously, she doesn't put her own or many other children in that category. But - she has had to learn about children, and doubtless has access to information that I, not being a parent, would not.

Yikes...

Fair enough. But a 7 year old is beyond saving? PUH-LEASE.

This BB is SO entertaining.

FWIW, everybody has access to all they need to know about raising children. And it is not in ANY of the 87,000+ books about child rearing you can find on Amazon. Ever stop to think about why society is going the way it is? Could it have anything to do with the idea that in the 60's parents started to rebel against the wisdom the Bible teaches us about child rearing?

All those psycobabble books make it so hard, when it is so simple. I am SO grateful to have the Bible as my guide as we raise our daughter and for our future children.

I don't think any child is beyond saving...but if they are psychopathic, well, it's darn near impossible to rewire anyone with that condition.

Have no clue what bible you are reading to raise your child by but I didn't need a bible to tell me when my kids were wrong or did something that should be looked into seriously. This kid has all the earmarks of being another serial killer if not worse. And yes---"where in h*ll were the parents?" My 7 yr olds were never out of my sight except when in school or playing nearby with friends, mostly at our place for some reason. Probably for my cookies that I kept baking.

Regardless of how this child will turn out in the future I believe the parents are the ones to blame for this. 7 frickin' years old!! I mean, I grew up out in the country so I was out playing in the woods, but I always had big brother or sister watching me. I'd like to know how he broke into the zoo. Or even how he had the thought to do it in the first place. Perhaps he has older siblings??

Poor animals, and poor child.

Her findings show that preaddolesent cuelty do animals is not a precurser to becoming a serial killer

Puck,

Ah, but the FBI's findings have proven that it STARTS with little animals. Does Jeffrey Dahlmer ring a bell?? How about BTK and Ted Bundy?? I rest my case.

That's fine.

Does not mean the kid is without hope, like Marigold said. That is my only point here, IIRC. LOL
