Family dog mauls girl
NT News ^ | Sept 11, 2010 | Annie Sanson

Posted on 09/10/2010 12:01:58 PM PDT by LongElegantLegs

A TERRITORY girl is lucky to be alive after she was mauled by a savage dog.

Seven-year-old Meg Croton and her brother Connor, 9, had been feeding their family's dog - an eight-year-old mastiff cross - in their Humpty Doo back yard when the girl was attacked by the vicious hound.

"I tripped on a rock and fell, and I think I kicked his leg," Meg recalled the attack. "And then it hurt very badly and he was on top of me and ripped on my head. "But my brother saved my life."

Not having seen this ridiculous post before I posted the one above it makes it all the more poignant.

Note, you are also a proponent of killing adult dogs.

Kiss my ass PETA boy!

I could still run it on XP but Vista choked on it and even running it in the “older software” mode didn’t work.

*I heard one idiot woman talk to her dog after it growled at child as in "Did that nasty little boy frighten my precious wecious darling warling puppie wuppikins." You can't make this stuff up.

Maybe the nasty little child should have been taught how to deal with dogs.

Poor little kid!!! He didn’t have a chance with that dog.

The news report refers to the dog as “timid”. I prefer the more descriptive term “Fear Biter”. Herding dogs are prone to hyper-fearfulness and such dogs bite before thinking. Their “fight or flight” instinct makes them very dangerous if they are cornered.

So many people, when choosing a pup from a litter, will gravitate to the one cringing in the corner. That pup, nine times out of ten will grow up to be a fearful adult and will be far more likely to hurt someone than would its more outgoing littermates within its lifetime.

More than 200 women in the United States kill their children every year according to aaanet.org

New stories about parents who kill their children continue to mesmerize, shock and terrify the community each time they are reported. Although filicide (child murder) is uncommon, it’s a leading cause of child death in developed countries. Compared to other developed nations, the United States has the highest rate of child homicide. When a child is murdered, the perpetrators are most likely one of the child’s parents. In fact, children under the age of 5 in the United States are more likely to be killed by their parents than anyone else, according to FBI crime statistics: 57%. Family friends/acquaintances accounted for 30% and other family members for 8%. Stranger homicides account for the other 5%The children who are at the greatest risk are younger than 6 months old.

There have been many studies on maternal filicide, but few for paternal killers. However, there are striking differences on the motives and methods of killing between the genders. In the United States, women commit two crimes as frequently as men. The first is shoplifting. The second is the murder of their children. Women, who commit 13% of all violent crimes, kill their children at the same rate as men. Annually, more than 200 women will take the life of their child or children.

Child Molester Statistics

“The serial killer has the same personality characteristics as the sex offender against children”
-Dr. Mace Knapp, Nevada State Prison Psychologist.

• “There are 400,000 registered sex offenders in the United States, and an estimated 80 to 100,000 of them are missing. They’re supposed to be registered, but we don’t know where they are and we don’t know where they’re living.
- Ernie Allen, President of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Childrento co-anchor Hannah Storm on The Early Show

• The most serious and chronic offenders often show signs of antisocial behavior as early as the preschool years.
- (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) (was in Juvenile Justice Bulletin: Nov 1998 OJJDP: U.S. Department of Justice)

• Dr. Gene Abel estimates that between 1% and 5% of our population molest children
-CNN Specials Transcript #454-Thieves of Childhood.

• Nearly all the offenders in sexual assaults reported to law enforcement were male (96%).
- Sexual Assault of Young Children as Reported to Law Enforcement, 7/00, NCJ 182990, U.S. Department of Justice

• Overall, 23% of sexual assault offenders were under the 18 and 77% were adults - Sexual Assault of Young Children as Reported to Law Enforcement,
7/00, NCJ 182990, U.S. Department of Justice

• 40% of the offenders of victims under age 6 were themselves juveniles. A similar proportion (39%) of offenders of victims ages 6 through 11 were also juveniles. For older juvenile victims, the proportion of juvenile offenders dropped to 27%.
- Sexual Assault of Young Children as Reported to Law Enforcement,
7/00, NCJ 182990, U.S. Department of Justice

•Adults were the offender in 60% of the sexual assaults of youth under age 12. Rarely were the offenders of young victims strangers. Strangers were the offender in just 3% of sexual assaults against victims under age 6 and 5% of the sexual assault of victimizations of youth ages 6 through 11.
-Sexual Assault of Young Children as Reported to Law Enforcement,
7/00, NCJ 182990, U.S. Department of Justice

• 1 in 5 violent offenders serving time in a state prison reported having victimized a child.
-BJS Survey of State Prison Inmates, 1991.

• 2/3 of all prisoners convicted of rape or sexual assault had committed their crime against a child.
-BJS Survey of State Prison Inmates, 1991.

• Acquaintance perpetrators are the most common abusers, constituting approximately 70-90% of all reported perpetrators.
-Finkelhor, D. 1994.

• 89% of child sexual assault cases involve persons known to the child, such as a caretaker or family acquaintance.
-Diana Russell Survey, 1978

• 29% of child sexual abuse offenders are relatives, 60% are acquaintances, and only 11% are strangers.
-Diana Russell, The Secret Trauma, NY:Basic Books, 1986.

• For the vast majority of child victimizers in State prison, the victim was someone they knew before the crime. 1/3 had committed their crime against their own child, about 1/2 had a relationship with the victim as a friend, acquaintance, or relative other than offspring, about 1 in 7 reported the victim to have been a stranger to them.
-BJS Survey of State Prison Inmates, 1991.

• 3/4 of the violent victimizations of children took place in either the victim’s home or the offenders home.
-BJS Survey of State Prison Inmates, 1991.

• Males are reported to be the abusers in 80-95% of cases
-Thoringer, D., et al., 1988.

• About 60% of the male survivors sampled report at least one of their perpetrators to be female.
-Mendel, 1993.

• All but 3% of offenders who committed violent crimes against children were male.
-BJS S


Frankly, had ~I~ been given the choice, I’d have picked physical disfigurement to the psychological scars of sexual abuse.

But, nobody gave me any options.

The world is in a fallen state.
It will not be “right” again until Jesus returns to rule it.

Sadly, for the sins of mankind, animals too were accursed and perverted from their intended purpose.

All the arguing in the world will not change any of that.

Only Christ will.

Until then, we live on a “such brutal planet...such a living hell”.

/Alice Cooper lyrics

If you want one action that increases the likelihood a dog will bite someone, a child in particular, you put that dog on a chain. This dog was NOT a housedog. It was chained, junkyard style, in the back of this family's yard. That makes a huge difference in the entire episode. People who chain dogs need to realize the danger in which they put themselves, not to mention the danger in which they put their children.

Boring!!

LOL

Are you purposefully looking for that 90% stuff now? HAHAHAHAHA

j/k

Yeah, I totally agree. Chains Exacerbate, not necessarily cause dysfunction.

But here we come back to full circle. WHY did these people GET an adult dog when they HAD very young children. I mean besides the obvious that they are STUPID.

piece of mind

BEST Iron Maiden album.

No. Disagree.

Caught Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son are the TWO best. I couldn't suffer much of the stuff after Adrian Smith left either. Glad he is back now.

So understand
Don't waste your time
Always searching for those wasted years
Face up...make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years

Is it just me... or does it really seem WAY off the sanity meeter, to have someone on an animal thread, defending animal attacks, call you, defending God’s children... PETA boy.

That would be like some fags calling ME a Homo...

It isn’t even pot meet kettle.... it’s like Pot calling the... “snow” black.

I don’t know if I should just LAUGH at it absurdity... or be very fearful of a mind which could think in such a non linear fashion.

How about some pics of kids that drown in the family’s pool?

I am sure a gruesome Peta dude like you has plenty of them too.

Not all dogs bite or even close, but all pools are a source of drowning so where is your outrage? Do those people need a pool?

Oh, I see. You must not want cute dog pics posted. Why not? Are dogs liberal? Is the dog in the photoshop a muzzie terrorist? Maybe all dogs are evil?

I know what dog bite injuries look like from personal experience having been injured three separate times myself. Despite my experience with dogs, gosh darn it, I still like them (except the yappie kind like pit yorkies).

Here's a cute puppy for your enjoyment:

So from wishing to kill dogs you dislike to killing people you dislike how far of a stretch is it?

Infinite.

It is a stretch beyond the bounds of the garment we call the heavens.

It is an immeasurable gulf.

The great divide.

A child is the image of God. An animal is an animal and there is no comparison whatsoever. None.

God himself became a MAN. A Child. He did not become a dog or a cow or a rat.

I called him PETA boy.

You weak sister are too much of a coward to ping me when talking about me. Bad form but expected from a chicken $hit like you.

You have really shone on this thread little girl. This thread has defined you as a know nothing who posts her feelings like they are facts and cannot back up a single thing.

You are proof that even a retard like Obama can pass law school.

If you pass.
