As punishment for bad grades, a Georgia mother forced her 12-year-old son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer, police said.

Meriwether County Sheriff's Offi Lynn Geter, 38, is accused of forcing her 12-year-old son to kill his pet hamster for earning a bad grade, according to Steve Whitlock, Meriwether County sheriff.


The day after he was forced to kill his pet, the child told his teacher, Meriwether County Sheriff Steve Whitlock told the AJC Thursday evening.

The teacher reported the incident to DFCS authorities, who contacted police, Whitlock said. The pet's death allegedly took place at the family's Warm Springs home.
On Friday, 38-year-old Lynn Middlebrooks Geter was arrested, Whitlock said. Geter faces one charge each of animal cruelty, child cruelty and battery.
Geter remained in the Meriwether County jail Thursday evening, Whitlock said. Meriwether County is located about 90 minutes southwest of Atlanta.
Geter's husband, Brad Geter, decline to comment on the incident when reached by phone Friday evening.

Well, thats just a nasty thing to do to a kid.

Lemmiwinks, you must find your way out of this place, or you will surely die. This way has been closed off by the great sphinctor.
To escape, you must journey up to the dark reaches of the intestine and pass the stomach!
Who am I?
Just a friend.
Heed my words, Lemmiwinks.
Your time is running out.
Make for the large intestine.
Start straight ahead.

Animal cruelty may not be something you give a **** about but forcing a child to murder an animal is pretty much ****ed up whatever way you slice it.

Doing something ****ed up doesn't get you the death penalty.

You can put hamsters in your shoes then go for a bounce on a trampoline - no death penalty.

Love the way you assume I don't give a crap about animal cruelty or that I think it isn't messed up just because I didn't grab a pitchfork and jump on the "Burn the bitch" bandwagon

And people wonder why Americans are so ****ed up.

In some circles, that's be called 'Responsible Christian parenting'

"Oh and Dartz goes for the Double Hitter! Americans and Christians! This is totally unexpected Larry"

"Unexpected indeed Bob, this is a surprising move for Dartz especially given the fact that he knows Absolutely Nothing about the spritual affiliations of the mother or the child involved."

"A Gutsy move. Especially with the French Surname of Geter."

Honestly should I pluck a disturbing Irish article and use it as an excuse to make racist proclamations against the Irish? "Irish Priest rapes little boy. The Pats must all be rapists, not right in the head that lot." Are We Done here? Done? Done.

For all you know the family could be French Atheists residing in Georgia. I suggest you keep your facts straight and stow your discriminatory remarks.

By all rights the US is less Christian/more religiously diverse than Ireland is.

Now: Won't someone please think of the Hamsters?

That happens a lot around here. You're either a card-carrying screaming Repulican (in the Texas sense) or they call you a bleeding heart pinko liberal.

I don't know why I found this post so funny. Maybe it was the wording or how surreal it is.

But he didn't slice it. He hammered it.

If she had have then made him cook and eat it, is it still cruelty? Or just fresh hamster stew!

And the Hamsters will be all snuggly-wuggly in your shoes because people don't wear shoes on a trampoline.

I'm not saying it's ok, I'm just saying that you shouldn't get the death penalty for it.
As a hobby it's a waste of good shoes.

Silly uncultured Americans, the Hamster was tenderised not battered. :rolleyes:

It's one thing to put a hamster in your shoes, I don't think his mother would fit though.

This is the type of **** that happens folks when you let the kids out of the wardrobe.
