In the isolated town of Stoneville, N.L., population less than 500, residents are starting to wonder what to do about an eight-year-old boy whose behaviour has long concerned them, but has now grown violent.
First, it was a dog bludgeoned to death with a barbecue utensil in June. And now it's a dozen ducks, hens and chicks kept in a backyard as pets, found beaten with gardening tools on Tuesday.
The boy, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has admitted to both attacks, police say, although he is too young to be charged with a criminal offence. It is believed that the boy used gardening tools he found in the shed of Cory Hodder to kill the birds. Some were so badly abused they had to be euthanized.
"I expected something to happen and I expect more," said resident Marlene Gillingham. "I wish there was something that somebody could do. There should be some kind of a home for kids like this. So they could learn, and get this out of their blood. It's just in him."
Ms. Gillingham has two children herself, aged 5 and 7. She said she worries for their safety as they go to school with the boy.

Future serial killer.

Sorry, Lady. Nothing you can do. You’re supposed to understand this little dev..er..”childs” frustration and anger. Maybe his mother punished him for beating up his little sister and traumatized him or something. He will be pampered and coddled by DHS and his parents will be ordered not to punish him. If they do, they will be threatened with arrest.
This lad should have been taking to the wood shed long ago, but nowadays, that is considered more cruel than what he has done. He is now the animal.
Sounds like he is a serial killer now.
The family needs a young priest and an old priest.
One of those times when you WISH you could feel sorry for a kid who is clearly screwed up beyond any accountability for his behavior. Sounds like he has no future except in a prison or a mental hospital. What can you do?
One woman, who is an aunt to both the boy's unmarried parents, who are cousins, said his parents don't get along. "Sometimes I think it's the way they're reared up," she said.
The father will shoot "a bird, a duck, a seagull, anything that moves," Ms. Gillingham said. When interviewed last month after the boy killed Cuddles, a black Pomeranian belonging to Emma and Norman Hodder, the father largely shrugged the incident off: "Yeah, it's not a very good thing for him to do but the dog is dead, you can't bring him back.
Not such a mystery after all.
Yup.

And there’s a question as to why this kid is the way he is?
Obama’s next health care czar.
If the little smack off had killed MY puppy, the jag off’s father would have been next in line.
I'm not saying it would be the nice thing, or even the right thing to do, but it would be the most rational and logical.
As it stands, this damaged boy should probably be institutionalised now and worked on intensively to try and mitigate the evil within him before he is unleashed back into the world...
The way to teach the kid a lesson is to beat his father into a two month hospital stay. Let the kid visit him every day and see what is in store for him.
Clip his jewels off for starters.
If he where racist he would be removed from school immediately.
