Well,, being 13 yrs old,, I think with all of our comments and outrage have most likely freaked the kid out.... I cant truly imagine that this child doesnt feel love for the dog,,, just might feel helpless with the kind of parents thye are stuck with... obviously,, the family isnt deserving of a pet of any kind with the attitude they appear to have.

I just hope that CatBoy finds the courage and guts it will take to make a stand and get out there and try to do the right thing by this poor dog!!
