“It was horror. We were getting beaten up by a bloody loose-wired toddler while his mother just stood aside and let him do what he was doing.”

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, a three-year old beat the living crap out of a couple of grown women in New Zealand.

“You wouldn’t think a little bastard like that could cause so much horror. I read somewhere that’s how terrorists are bred.”

You know what makes me smile? Imagining what would have happened to that kid if he’d taken a shot at my wife.

The mother begged the women not to call the cops and they reluctantly agreed.

Something else that wouldn’t have gone very far with Jackie. The woman should be made accountable, and therapy for everyone involved in that kid’s life should be mandatory.

On a related note, I’ve been meaning to comment on the recent trial that found a woman guilty of murder for allowing her dog to kill a another woman, but I didn’t have much to say beyond “Good for the courts. Here here. Well done.”

They didn't call the cops?

Then they, too are responsible for what that kid does next... Holy Cow! Don't they see that's what is needed here?

The mother who can't control a three year old kid?
And doesn't so much as try?
What happens when the kid is 10?
Or 13?

I get the distinct feeling we will hear from/about this kid again.

And his defence of "I didn't know any better" may very well be true...

Horror on horror...

Didn't you just love the verdict with the owner of the murdering dogs. I thought the fact that the owners were trying to blame the victim by saying it was her perfume or even steroids was ludicrous.

And this, how can any parent stand by and let their child do this? I would pay to see how it would go if it had happened to Jackie. heh heh

Heh. Jackie. Instant attitude readjustments, all around. Yeah, I'd chip in a bright shiny nickel to see that.
