Young boys kill kitten; CPS investigates
KTAR ^ | December 5th, 2008 | KTAR

Posted on 12/06/2008 9:05:36 PM PST by HollyButler

Two young boys have admitted to stoning and later killing a kitten in an east Mesa trailer park, and authorities are trying to determine what to do about the suspects.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose Animal Crimes Unit investigated the October incident, said the boys, 6- and 7-years-old, are too young to be charged with animal cruelty. Arizona state law prohibits charging anyone under the age of eight with a crime.

Arpaio said Child Protective Services declined involvement, saying the circumstances of the case were outside the department's criteria.

Nevertheless, CPS reversed course Friday afternoon and said it will look into the matter, saying it discovered a little-used provision in the laws stating that the department can investigate if a child under the age of eight commits a crime.

The investigation began when the sheriff's office received a call Oct. 23 from a neighbor who found the four-month-old kitten hanging by its neck from a tree in a trailer park in the 9000 block of Apache Trail in Mesa.

"I found it in the morning, me and the neighbor," said Anthony Yanez. "He wasn't bloody, he was just, you know, with his eyes shut….and we called the police."

Nope, but I’ve seen a dog take a chomp out of a Re/Max Agent before. She got ill and had to go to the vet.

I thought it was perfectly safe for dogs to eat feces.

YOU said: “cats are worthless anyways!”

So, are you telling us that you see NO PROBLEM with this horrible cruelty by two children against a kitten that is defenseless and did nothing to them?

Here is what they did, is this fine by you? Is THAT what you are telling us? Do your customers know this is how you feel?

“The boys apparently had used a wire from the video game controller they were playing, Grand Theft Auto, to hang the kitten, sheriff’s deputies said. The animal’s head had been injured by blows from a rock. “

Sad that there are such cruel young children. What will they be as they grow up?

Apparently, sociopathic amoral remax agents.

(big grin!!) You’re in great form today! ROTFLMAO!

If dogs can eat faeces safely, but not Re/Max Agents, what does that tell us about Re/Max Agents???

Most animals are smart enough to not eat decaying meat!

Maybe they eat feces to get the taste of the Re/Max agent out of their mouth...

LOL! Seems like some remax agents are indeed toxic — they give a bad name to the other perfectly normal REMax agents.

remaxagnt isn't replying. remax, do these words hurt? Imagine how the kitten felt being hanged with a cord and hit with rocks. Can you empathize the pain of others?

Children 6 and 7 years old should not be playing GTA in my opinion. That was the first red flag and of course, the second, being, killing a small animal. Send the whole bunch back where they belong and let them deal with them. Why is the Sheriff seeking help for them? Send these little Dahmer’s in waiting back to their country of origin.

One glaring question: Where are the parents?!

Why are 6 and 7 year old children left without supervision?

I just read the second half of the article:

“Deputies said that language and cultural differences made it difficult to persuade both boys’ parents of the urgent need for counseling, but ultimately they agreed to perhaps seek counseling for the boys.

“The kind of psychological care these boys need to avoid any further acts of violence against animals or people will be very expensive,” Arpaio said. “Both families are likely to be greatly burdened by the medical help required.”

Further complicating the family situation is the fact that the mother of the 7-year-old is an illegal immigrant, the sheriff said. “

“This level of animal abuse at such a young age could be a predictor of worse violence in the future,” Arpaio said. “Though it is a little unusual for us to get involved in this way, we’re doing whatever we can to find the guidance these two boys need to avoid that.”

> i shot many cats with my bb guns when i was a kid and im not a serial killer

What if some kid decided to shoot Re/Max Agents with his bb-gun: you’d be OK with that I guess?

I expect to buy a house within the next few months. It will not be through a ReMax agent.

Ride the lightning, troll.

I agree. Deport the worthless POS mother, she raised these little hell-spawn. I assume the kids are US citizens since they were probably born here. There is no chance for rehabilitation for them if they are left with the mom. And if she wants to take her little hellions with her back to where ever she came from, good riddance!

While more of a dog person ... that was funny!

Anyone -child or adult- who kills any animal for kicks is SICK in my book!
