These kids are horrible...what could you have done?  email this discussion to a friend?

Last night as I was giving myself a pedicure, I heard laughing and screaming noises outside our house. Intrigued, I decided to go and see what the fuss is all about. To my horror and dismay I saw six kids age ranging from 5-7 years old, surrounding a little kitten screaming and shouting and poking it. One of the boys held the kitten and asked his playmate to put the kitten under a car's tire so that they would see how the kitten would react if its foot got run over. Another one suggested to kill it by dumping it in the sewer, while the other one threatened to put it inside their dog's cage. The little girl was screaming "the kitten might be lost and is looking for its mother"...but the boys did not heed that...they instead laughed out loud (horrible laugh) and continued to imitate the kitten's meow horribly while laughing. The last straw was when one of the boys picked the kitten and tried to suffocate it by placing a plastic on its head. I screamed to stop and run to them to grab the kitten. I shouted at them telling them that what they are doing is wrong and that if it is done to them how would they feel? I swear I could have spoken to their parents but apparently these kids are from a different neighborhood.
If you were there what could you have done?

How horrible! I don't know what is wrong with kids like that. I don't know what to do except what you did. Like you said, if you could have spoken to the parents I would have done that. I don't know what else you could have done.

Yeah it is horrible. Most expecially when you hear the little kitten meowing for its life. Thanks for the post.

I would have done the exact same thing - how awful!!! I cant belive these children as young as they were would want to do harm to anything! What is this world coming to.

I would have mentioned that the police could have been involved and that it was a crime what they were doing and scared them ~~ I would have gotten their names and pretended to call the police and then see their reaction - I bet they wouldnt do it again.

I am just glad that you were there to stop them - Lord only know's what else could have happened.

That is horrible...What the He** is wrong with kids these days. Altho I was never a big cat lover till recently, I have grown to love them since I have had 2 of my own for the past 2 yrs. No question I would have screamed and yelled at them, and I definitely would have given he** to their parents...It is my firm belief that children learn from their parents.

Cute avatar you have there. Yes that is the same thing I was wondering about...what is wrong with them. I wonder what their parents teach them.

That is horrible that kids would do that to a poor defenceless kitten. You did the right thing hun, and as the kids were from a different neighbourhood you did all you could. I can not believe how kids are so different now a days as opposed to when I was a kid. I love animals and I could never imagine someone trying to kill it or joke about such. That is so disturbing.


myLot reputation of 95/100. earth2jacq (921)   ranked 1,377 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

Yes I was pondering what could have made them cruel. This is a sad sad event.

That is horrible. I would have been very disgusted in those boys hearing that story. I would have done the same thing as you. I can't believe that they were talking about doing something like that. I always use the example to my daughter also if she would like something like that done to her. Hopefully it got them thinking. I hope that they don't really do anything to any animals and are all talk. But good for you for stepping in and saving the kitten.

I felt like I was hearing little demons speaking. Little kids saying horrible ways to die is disturbing.

Our World sure is getting crazier by the minute. To think that kids that young could have that much hate in them to physically harm an innocent kitten boggles the mind. In my opinion, you did the right thing by saving the kitten.
What pity you didn't have a camera or camera cell phone, to have taken their pictures and send copies to their parents, the police and school.
There has to be something wrong in our society, when the seemingly innocent among us could be that cruel.


myLot reputation of 95/100. earth2jacq (921)   ranked 1,377 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

My thought as well. This world is getting crazy. And I do wonder where all that hate came from.

I would have done the same thing and threatened them with calling the cops if I ever see them doing anything like this again. I would have gotten them really scared. Kids that age remember things like that.


myLot reputation of 95/100. earth2jacq (921)   ranked 1,377 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

I wish I could have thought of that sooner. Thank you for the post.

that's really annoying... i would have done the same thing like you do if i saw similar incident happening in front of my eyes... that little kitten is innocent and doesn't disturb the boys... why would they want to harm or kill it??? they are so cruel and they are still so young... what would happen if they grow older??? i would definitely take down their names and report it to their parents or school... no wonder this world is becoming crazier and crazier by each moment because children from such a young age already learn to do such a horrid thing... i am wondering where are their parents??? i'm glad you are there to save the kitten... otherwise, it might have died in their hands while it actually has the right to live...


myLot reputation of 95/100. earth2jacq (921)   ranked 1,377 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

Why would they harm it or kill it that I don't know. Studies have shown that one of the traits Exhibit by serial killers is that they have killed an animal when they are young. Well i think we have 6 prospective, killers here.

I would have done what you did and did in a similar situation(it was kids picking on another kid). You should keep an eye out for them, an alert someone if they come back. Alert their parents the proper authority in your area, whomever but someone needs to know about these kids.


myLot reputation of 95/100. earth2jacq (921)   ranked 1,377 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

Thank you. The next time I see them around again I will do something. I will notify our roving guard in our area.

That was a horrible thing to have seen and heard. I think I would have called the police and told them and given them a description of the boys since you don't think they belong to your neighborhood. Those boys definitely need to be taught a lesson. If they would do that to a kitten there is no telling what other horrible things they might get in to.


myLot reputation of 95/100. earth2jacq (921)   ranked 1,377 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

Yes it was such a horrible thing to witness and here. It seems like I was watching little demons. I can't believe that kids as young as them could have been so cruel.
