RememberOsaka Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 :doh: http://www6.comcast.net/news/articles/national/2008/03/14/Comcast.dad.kill.cat/ Dad Accused of Forcing Girl to Kill Pet Cat Muncie, Indiana (AP) Fri Mar 14, 9:35 AM EDT A man was jailed Thursday on charges that he forced his 7-year-old daughter to kill the family cat by holding a knife in her hand and making her stab the pet. Danield J. Collins, 39, told his children during a visit to his home Sunday that he wanted them to "learn how to kill" and gave his 11-year-old son a knife to do it, according to an affidavit filed in the case. The boy tried to save the cat by hiding it under a sofa bed and putting ketchup on a knife when Collins went to the bathroom. But when the father realized that the cat was not dead, he forced his daughter to hold the knife and then held her hand tightly as he drove the knife into the animal, Muncie police Detective Jami Brown said. Police said Collins stabbed and strangled the cat himself, and told his son to throw the dead pet in the trash. Officers retrieved the carcass to be used as evidence. The children told family members about the incident Monday, the day after the alleged killing, according to the affidavit. The children told police that their father was drunk when they arrived at his home and that he's a different person when he's sober, it said. The siblings live with their grandparents. Collins was being held in the Delaware County Jail in lieu of $40,000 bail. He's charged with one count each of animal cruelty and battery and two counts of neglect of a dependent. The battery charge alleges that the girl was injured because Collins held her hand so hard that it ached. The jail had no record of an attorney representing Collins, and there were no published phone listings for him in Muncie. Brown said the case was particularly troubling because Collins involved his children in killing the animal, an 8-month-old tuxedo-type cat named Boots. "I've been doing investigations for 10 years, and this is really bothering me," the detective said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMetal Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 It truly scares me that my girls could have the children of nuts like this in her class. Who knows what kind of dangerous lunacy she could be exposed to? Just the thought of it sickens me...that would be unbelievably damaging to the psyche of a young boy or girl.
