Should there be mandatory counseling for a kid who kills and mutilates animals?
At the apartments where my daughter lives, her kids caught 3 or 4 toads. She made them keep them in a shoebox outside until they let them go.
Another kid in the complex took the toads and cut their heads off, and left the bodies on the playground equipment.
The kids buried the toads, and the creeper dug them back up and did something else with them. I forget what.
We all know that many serial killers also killed and mutilated animals when they were kids. Shouldn’t the SRS or someone get involved when a child does this?
