(19,458 posts)A 12 year old that wanted to watch his family pet DIE because he was mad at it, WILL end up killing other things.. and people. that's how they start.
I can guess that the kid has issues BUT I have a huge problem with stupid parents who have extremely violent "entertainment" as well as their own violent personalities, around kids when their brains are supposed to be developing empahthy. There is a point in a child's brain development, I think around 7 or 8, when you NEED to surround them with "empathy building" stories and such. If they're playing violent games, watching violent movies, and being around violent people, they will become angry little psychopaths, like that.
How many teens have we seen lately that have killed neighbor kids because they "wanted to see someone die."
