People like you calling and treating the kid like a potential psychopath are more likely to result in him being that way than what made him stick the cat in the microwave.

This is the problem with todays society, a kid does something stupid and instead of being corrected and allowed to learn they are labelled as sick or evil, treated as if there is something wrong with him and then they will grow up thinking and believing that there is something seriously wrong with them.

Its an 8 year old ffs. I nearly burned down the house when I was 8 by lighting a fire for the heck of it. I was told it was stupid and dangerous, I seen how dangerous it was and I learned not to be doing things like that. Guess what ?? I'm not an arsonist.

Okay and what does it say that the parent ran down when it heard the noise of the microwave?

Either bad parenting or else a very, very fúcking stupid child that should not be left alone (at best) or more than likely someone to watch.

Animal abuse is a common thing amongst psychopaths at young ages.

It knew how to operate it, it would clearly have heard the very uncomfortable noises of the cat and it didn't say the kid panicked, nope. It said the parent had to sort out the problem.

By age 8 I knew very well what a microwave is for and what happens to things in it. Hell, by age six I probably knew it.

So he did it for fun and enjoyed it ? Have you access to info the rest of us havent ? You claim he knew what he was doing, you claim he did it for kicks.

If this hasnt been stated somewhere I'd be very disturbed as to why a grown woman would infer these things on a child of 8 to make a point in defence of a cat.

It's not about the defense of a cat.

I didnt have a microwave when I was 8 so I cant comment on what I knew about it. But at 8 I knew fcuk all about anything. I knew fire was dangerous but lit one anyway to see what would happen. Learned my lesson there. I knew slingshots were dangerous and I liked birds but I hit one anyway. Didnt enjoy how I felt about it so didnt do it again. Wasnt a psycho didnt turn out to be a psycho I was just a kid learning about life.

To class an 8 year old kid a psycho or evil over one stupid incident is going a bit over board. Seems this happens more in outrage to what happened to the cat than from any concern for the boy. Thats the disturbing part of this whole discussion.

Medusa22 · 16-08-2012 01:17PM

This is a very disturbing story. At 8 years old you know what a microwave is used for, the child knew exactly what he was doing and I don't want to hear excuses. People who are cruel to animals are very likely to go on to inflict pain on humans too, a lot of people don't take it seriously.

Why should I be concerned about a boy who thought it was acceptable to microwave a cat? He isn't going to be punished for it.

Would you have thrown a cat onto a fire? Or into scalding water?
Maybe you would have. Would you have locked in a burning room with no escape? Or forced it into the scalding water without any means of escape?
That's essentially what the boy did. Hurt it without any means of escape at all.

It's about concern for the future and potential of the boy.

So poor old cat lets be concerned for it and lets all jump to the conclusion an 8 year old is evil and disturbed based on assuming he knew exactly what he was doing and did it for fun.

Yeah that makes sense.

Yes, let us feel that way about an 8 year old that locked a cat in a container and tried to burn it.

I think we might be on the same page. Pity Bluewolf isnt though as she has stated its about concern for the cat and not the boy. Who she has stated knew what he was doing and inferred he did it for kicks.

Teyla Emmagan · 16-08-2012 01:27PM

That young man should be brought straight for an evaluation.

Nope, she said she'd be worried about 8 year old putting a cat, cockroach or worm into a microwave for kicks.

So its not about concern for the child then ? You cant be concerned about his future if your assuming his motives and ascribing a label of evil. Thats not looking at it with the childs interests in mind its looking for a way to criminalise him.

Oh, I never said he was evil. I said let us feel that way. I think he's disturbed. I dunno about evil. Others more than likely think that way.

One question: what if it was a baby he put inside? Would you feel that's different?

The cat is alive and well, some damage to the tail, though.

Full article was quote but incase you missed it:

"An eight-year-old boy from Kent put his neighbour's cat in a microwave and turned the appliance on, the RSPCA said.
The cat was found in the microwave in Rochester on Saturday after its owner heard it being turned on.
The animal survived but may have suffered internal damage.
The RSPCA said the youth offending team at Medway Police Station and social services had been contacted but the boy was too young to face criminal charges.
RSPCA inspector Ray Bailey said: "This was an absolutely horrendous incident and all the more shocking because of the alleged involvement of such a young child."

I bet the cat isn't that well. Never mind the damage to his tail, I'd be more worried about the internal damage from having his organs cooked. He's unlikely to last too long if that's the case. Poor fella

Well it was taken to the RSPCA so I'd wager it's still there and being taken care of.

No one here knows the reason the child did it. Children do stupid things without really thinking. Everyone does stupid things without really thinking. It could very well be that the child thought they were heating the cat up because it was cold or something. Sure you can get microwavable slippers and everything, they just heat up, the child could have been thinking of something like that. I don't think children of 8 consider that putting something in to cook actually changes it's chemical composition, they probably mostly see it more that it makes things warm.

It is possible that the child knew what they were doing & intended to harm the cat, but I think it's more likely that they didn't really understand that it would harm the cat.

Orim · 16-08-2012 01:36PM

I have to agree with Scioch, to a degree (:P).

We don't have enough information to make a judgement on this. We don't know of any past incidents to infer that the child has any issues with empathy or similar. We don't know why the child was putting the cat in the microwave, I have heard of both children and adults puttings wet animals into ovens and microwaves thinking that a low temp setting would be fine for drying them off.

The story states that the mother intervened at the sound of the microwave starting so it's completly wrong to state that the child was standing there watching it.

To say that a child of 8 would have no idea what he was doing in this situation is complete BS though. He would have had some idea of what he was doing but without more info you can't really say more.

I'm talking about how easily people have decided he is evil and disturbed without know why he did it, what he felt when he did. Its easy for people to say he knew what he was doing. He's 8 ffs, how much can he know about the consequences of his actions. How much empathy can he have for another creature ? He's a child still learning.

One question: what if it was a baby he put inside? Would you feel that's different?

A child isnt a cat. That would be a much more serious incident.

Let me ask you something. Why is what he did different than me killing the bird with the slingshot ? I knowingly harmed an animal without knowing how such an action would impact on me and thats how I learned. Was I a disturbed child ? Id every kid who steps on an ant a disturbed child ?

RoyalMarine · 16-08-2012 01:38PM

My son is 8 and he has common sense not to do anything like that.

Any kid that would is clearly just evil or severely lacking in mental development.

And why is that?
What makes a living creature, like a cat, that can let creatures know it's hurt or in pain different to a baby that can do the same?

Neither can talk but I sure as Hell know that when either of them is crying, something is wrong.

Medusa22 · 16-08-2012 01:40PM

I think it is wrong and worrying to assume that an 8 year old has no concept of empathy, a child of that age is aware that it is inflicting pain.

I'm not saying he had no idea I'm just saying is disturbing how people can so easily view an 8 year old motives in line with an adults. An 8 year doesnt do that to watch the cat die and take pleasure from it. They do it to see what happens. Yes it was stupid and I'd imagine the kid has gotten one hell of a life lesson from this but to label him evil or a psycho is bang out of order. And seems to me to be a reaction to the injury sustained by the cat than any real reasoned thought of the actions of the child.

Mr Benevolent · 16-08-2012 01:44PM

Am I the only one who can't understand how an eight year old could get a cat into a microwave in the first place? The cat would be scratching and struggling like mad and even then it probably wouldn't fit into a standard microwave. The whole thing smells like troll shit to me.

Because a human is of more worth to humans than a cat.

The trauma they would suffer might not be too different but how its viewed certainly is. Why is it ok to eat cows not babies ? Because cows are not human offspring.
