There's a story on the news tonight about a 15 yr. old boy who killed his neighbor's pet dog and mutilated it. He also cut the feet off his mother's kitten. Neighbors said he also enjoyed starting fires. I wouldn't want this kid within 5 miles of our house! This is sicker than sick. What do you think he'll be doing when he's an adult?

Boy Butchers Dog And Kitten
May 29, 2009 - 7:26 PM
John Pless A 15-year-old Soddy Daisy boy is charged with dismembering his neighbor's dog and his mother's kitten. As of late Friday afternoon the boy was at the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center charged with two counts of animal cruelty. After getting a call from the dog's owner we went to the scene across the street from his house on Gann Road. We found pieces of the dog still laying in the boy's mother's yard along with two feet from kitten that was also mutilated. The dog was a black Lab mix named Jack who belonged to Sonya and Dale Huckeba. Mrs. Huckeba said she helped take care of the boy at an early age. I am pleasantly surprised that Newschannel 9 could not find any way to blame an LEO or a LE agency for this crime, so I'll temporarily unban them as a News source. |

He will be a serial killer if he lives long enough.

He will be a serial killer if he lives long enough. No offense but I hate this cliche. Animal abuse has been cited as only one part of a larger equation to predict serial killers (Arson, Frontal lobe injuries, bed wetting, elements of homosexuality, etc.) These might fit certain serial killers, but only the ones the media has focused on, white serial killers. It might have taken 15 years to catch the other serial killer because he didn't fit this preconceived mold. He should be arrested and convicted, but the animal abuse by itself only shows that this is a deeply troubled individual. I would throw out the stupid models and adopt a new one, serial killers are people who are attracted to a certain type of sex, or a certain type of sex partner and have to destroy the evidence (partner) to hide the guilt of engaging in that type of sexual activity. Bed wetting, animal cruelty, etc., really doesn't correlate to sexual behavior as far as I know. |

ok since the thread is already jacked
what does "sexual behavior" have to do with a serial killer?
sounds pretty generalized,... just as the first cliche that you took exception with

"No offense but I hate this cliche."
This is no cliche. If the symptoms "fit certain serial killers" then they fit certain serial killers. You are trying to make more out of the exceptions than is deserved. At least in all the abnormal psychology classes I've had, the actions of this person are pretty heavy indicators of psychopathy.

Almost all serial killings have a sexual component so sexual behavior should be a consideration when discussing a serial killer. There are a fraction of known serial killers who were not sexual serial killers, but the number is very small. |
