Mum Forces Son to Kill Hamster with Hammer Over Bad Grades

When Lynn Middlebrooks Geter found that her 12-year-old son's report card wasn't to her liking, she didn't offer to help him with homework or ask teachers for extra instruction. No, she decided something more drastic was in order...
The 38-year-old mom from Warm Springs, Georgia decided the best way for her boy to learn was to kill his pet hamster. With a hammer.
The kid, naturally, was quit upset. What would happen with his next report card? Would he have to beat his sister to death to improve his commitment to math? So he told his teacher about it the next day.
The teacher called social workers, who in turn called the Meriwether County sheriff's department. For her visionary parenting strategies, Geter is now in jail for animal cruelty, child cruelty and battery.

We need a rep system, +1 broseph. I do say their reaction was quite over the top.

lol jail.
In the Netherlands getting a jail sentence is actually getting rare. Not a good development, but when I see all these ludicrous jail sentences in America I think I'd like to keep this system.

I dont think killing the hamster is the bad bit.
Its the mum getting her son to kill something as punishment. That is messed up, and ya know could kinda mess the kid up.
Not good parenting.

I don't think the hamster is the problem. I think it's whats going on in this kids 7th grader's head. Killing a pet companion with a hammer is not a very beautiful thing.

You should kill a hamster to show how upset you are.

And thus, a new psychotic lunatic was born. Most serial killers/lunatics/cool guys start off by killing animals. I
love hamsters. Hamtaro

What an appropriate post in a thread about animal cruelty and child abuse.

Even if it had been used, quit is not an error. It doesn't check for these kind of structure errors, just every word individually.

Newer versions of spell check on Word do.
But, you still totally owned him and English even your first language.

You really think jail is too harsh? I'll give you some information. No one cares about the hamster. She was jailed because of the psychological effects this will have on her child. This kind of parenting will lead to only one of two things: a coward or a killer.
