<p>Prosecutors told the court they are concerned because the family is referring to the incident as the "cat thing" and are minimizing it. Also See: http://www.pet-abuse.com/cases/13014/OH/US/< /p>

WHEN will we force government to create laws to put these "people" away for the life terms they deserve?????

There is ALREADY enough evidence to prove their lifetime UNRELIABILITY!!!

Something is truly amiss with this family.
How does a kid begin to watch porn,after
killing the 'family' pet?
He got off so light.

This makes me sick and angry. What kind of justice system sees a twisted mind like this one and give community service for three days? I think mandatory mental counseling should have been a must along with no contact with an animal of any kind. It's just a matter of time until he repeats this and goes on to something larger for his kicks.

This is so screwed up that I want to puke! What they did to this poor baby animal is inexcusable and disgusting, and the court should have made examples out of BOTH of them! How is our country ever going to treat animal violence as a serious crime when something this horrific is punished with barely a slap on the wrist?

If this was my kid I would have him committed to a psychiatric unit for an indefinite period immediately after I'd beaten the stuffing out of him. The Judge??? What a spineless weasel!!! The Family??? Needs to do community service and go for re-orientation counselling for 2 years at least.

if that was my kid i would have beaten the living daylights out of him before he went to court and he would be beggin the judge to put him away cause as soon as he got out i would do the same thing all over again. not to mentinn he would no longer step foot in my house again even if he was my own kid I do not and will not tolerate animal abuse of any kind

This kid is a danger to society and should be committed to an institution. I feel he is a danger to everybody especially animals. Are the people in his family brain dead? "The cat thing"? They should have gotten him help when he did that, Oh wait a minute, who is to say the whole family doesn't need help? Talk about dysfunctional!! Sheeeesh!!

That is so terrible, and everyone knows kids who do this kind only get worse without serious help, something more needs to be done!

This is a horrible,inexcusable crime.His family and the authorities should take this much more seriously.He's seriously disturbed and should be in a mental hospital so he does'nt do this to another animal or a persom.

What a psycho. He is a serious threat to society. This teen is way too crazy. He knew what he was doing and enjoyed it. Try him as an adult and punish him severely for what he did. This is why there are vigilantes. Justice is hardly ever served at all. This family should never be allowed to ever own an animal again. I am disgusted with all of them.

Lock him up and trow away the key. Why not do the same to him.

In my opinion he is a time bomb waiting to go off!

If he can so easily do this to a defenceless kitten what can he do to a defenceless child? Has he already done that too? We will never know until a child one day says something.

Those of you who have children, do you really want this (boy isn't the word because he's nearly a man) youth to have the chance to come out of prison or whatever in so many years? I haven't got children of my own but when I marry my fiancee soon I'll have 5 children and 5 grandchildren and I don't like the idea of people like him walking among us.

The world is getting scarier as time goes on. Years ago we knew everyone in our streets and how kind they were if you needed help in an emergency. Today we have to watch out for terrorists, rapists, paedophiles, youngsters with knives and guns and now we have young people torturing animals what's going to be the next thing we have to look out for?

It's obvious that prison is not working. It doesn't even deter people from doing these things. It's time these offenders felt pain. Bring back the whip! And do it so people can see what happens if they go ahead and do exactly the same crime.

OMG! This is very shocking & disturbing, this kid should be locked up! put in a psychiatric unit, for what he did to that poor kitten, god rests its soul.
Giving him community service, what a disgrace! he knew what he was doing, he even bragged about it. They should make his community service, a one where he has to feed tigers! you never know he may slip & end up as the tigers dinner.
Noted, thank you.

pretty apalling! this kind of behavior leads to Jeffrey Damars of the world. Counseling is a start... and agressively I might say.

Disgusting, this kid needs to be locked in solitary confinement for the rest of his life! Or maybe someone should stomp and beat him, gouge his eyes out, cut his brain out, shove a stake through it, and dismember him like he did to the poor little kitten. People like this aren't human beings, they're the scum of the Earth. People that commit crimes like this need to be punished by either life in prison in solitary confinement, or put to death by lethal injection. They do not ever deserve to see the light of day outside of a jail cell. Counseling probably isn't nearly enough for this little psychopath. Next it'll be more animals, then people, and it will never stop. Another Charles Manson or Jeffrey Dahmer in the making. Sick, disgusting, poor excuse for a human being, I hope he rots in the very bowels of you-know-where, alongside the other psychopaths and murderers. I swear, if I ever saw or knew a person who did this to an animal, I don't think they would want to be anywhere near me because I would not hold back.

Noted,something else should have been done to this kid.The next thing he will do is proably kill a child.They could have put a stop to it,but did not.I think our justice system needs help!

Jean, you are so right! They do need to be exterminated, people like this do not deserve to live after what they have done to an innocent little being. I am a cat lover, and reading about this made me want to grab a Louisville Slugger and beat the everloving snot out of them.

What the hell!!!!!???? that ***** should have at least gotten jail time!!! If the crime in and of itself wasnt sick enough then shouldnt it have been considered that serial killers start out by torturing and killing animals???!!! this is so effing wrong!!

So, the idiot judicial system is going to minimize this?? This is just the beginning of digusting behavior from these 2; if it were my kid, I'd ask the judge to throw the book at them. Parents who overlook everything their child does wrong DO NOT do them a favor! It's a cop out to try to be a friend. Thanks, Dave.
