Re: This is discusting. Some poeple should not have kids..
oh my god...that kid deserves to have his head smashed in.
Re: This is discusting. Some poeple should not have kids..
This is a sad and heart breaking story, and end to a beautiful creature. From the fathers response it sounds like this isn't the first distructive episode out of his child. Maybe not all with animals, but all ending with kill or destroying sometime. That kid is a growing time bomb, and a meneace, and his Dad is supporting it. To have just ran off like that. Not force the boy to face what he did, to a living creature. As Popcorns owner I would have been hard put to not grab the brat and rattle his world regardless of the outcome on me. I am so sorry for the victims, Popcorn and owner. :(
Re: This is discusting. Some poeple should not have kids..
I think it is sad that there is no punishment for the kid or parent. If the snake had bitten the kid the whole world would have heard about it ans I am sure the owner would get into some kind of trouble. Sad double standards.

Punishment should fit the crime.

Re: This is discusting. Some poeple should not have kids..
Folks, responses that make you sound worse and more violent than the child in this story are childish and inappropriate so let's settle down okay.
It was a horrible, senseless act by an unsupervised child that obviously has problems as most children will not naturally set out to kill or severely injure an animal (which by this story this particular child made more than one attempt to do). This child's parent should be held financially accountable for the loss of the snake as well as morally accountable for why their child is acting so inappropriately.

i think the child should have definatly been punished, prehaps forced to clean cages and the parent to pay a fine.
how ever i dont feel the snake should have been left out to lay in the grass where that could happen.
the fact the child attacked the snake even after being warned and regardless was determined to kill the snake leads me to wonder what else he has killed. or if he wets the bed or if he plays with fire.
kids that kill animals when the CLEARLY know it is wrong always send red flags in my mind.

As they should in any parent or responsible adult, Ansli. It's a red flag that the parent in this case should be addressing and the first step towards that goal should have been staying there and making that child face the consequences of his cruelty. No good lesson is ever learned by allowing your child to avoid appropriate consequence.

which is true. i know my parents would have embarrassed the fire out of me right then and there. it just breaks my heart this kid is going to grow up with that kind of temperament one day. a disregard for living things or other people.
