Mom Accused Of Forcing Son To Kill Hamster With Hammer Over Grades







A Georgia woman is in jail after police say she forced her son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer as punishment for bad grades.

The sheriff of rural Meriwether County told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday that the 12-year-old boy told his teacher about the killing. The teacher reported it to the Division of Family and Child Services, who contacted police.

Sheriff Steve Whitlock said 38-year-old Lynn Middlebrooks Geter of Warm Springs faces one charge each of animal cruelty, child cruelty and battery.

The sheriff's office said she remained in the Meriwether County jail early Friday. It was not immediately known if she had a lawyer.

Meriwether County is located about 90 minutes southwest of Atlanta.

WTF?
that's all I can say. [Aubrey;Star] [reply]

Sad!! [Cass] [reply]

...Wtf?! I seriously don't understand some people. I honestly can't believe that someone would go to that extent with their child's grades. It's ridiculous. I can't even begin to imagine how killing a hamster with a hammer equates to doing better in school. [Brittney™Star] [reply]


she sounds like a winner... [+Constipated_Bunny+Star] [reply]

Wow. That poor boy. He's probably going to be scarred for life, or need some counseling after that.

What a bitch.

-x-Lisa-x- [♥ Kaidens Mum] [reply]

How cruel. What did the hamster do to deserve that? [~RedFraggle~Star] [reply]

Aww that poor hamster. WTF is wrong with people? Crazies. I don't even want to imagine the horror this poor boy went through to kill his own hamster...my dad used to threaten to set mine free, but he never would. I hope this boy doesn't have too many mental issues from this. [Bring On TomorrowStar] [reply]

people are FUCKED
[lady blackbird.Star] [reply]


The boy told his teacher... gosh, like, did they have any other evidence? I'm just thinking, some naughty boys could make up something like that! Not that he necessarily did - but it would be good to have some more info on this story, such as how the mother reacted to the arrest, etc, and what investigations the police did. This leaves a lot of questions in my mind.

Geez, what a heartless bitch. Someone should smack her in the head a few times with a hammer as punishment. I hate people even think about hurting animals. pathetic! If I had it my way, I would want her in prison for life. [.love.struck.Star] [reply]

Woah. [Acid FairyStar] [reply]

That's totally not cool. Couldn't she have just given the pet away as punishment? What is she teaching her kid by making him kill his pet? [Comment Whore™Star] [reply]

Jesus christ.... whats wrong with people.... [Money TalksStar] [reply]

wow, some people..... [Immortal Shadows] [reply]

Ummm.... wow. I feel bad for the boy. [prettylittlekitty] [reply]

[Lauren.Star] [reply]

that's awful [puffer kitteh] [reply]

well if it's true, then she's a fuckwit. how bout giving the hamster away if his grades are bad? you don't need to kill the poor thing. you especially don't need to make the child kill it. ugh. [& skull.Star] [reply]

omg lets all bash her with a hammer for a stupid idea! [Confused] [reply]

wtf was she thinking? What a moron!! [Love Bipolar IncStar] [reply]

This is awful. That poor boy [Hope Rising Star] [reply]

WTF????? I can understand if the mother didnt want her child to have a hamster but killing it???? that is bizzare, and not only that but the hamster could have been given to another home, but to kill it???? WTF??????? I am glad that the mother is in Jail. However, despite the boy is only 12 yrs old at least he in a way should know right from wrong meaning he should know that one does not kill animals no matter who tells him to do so. [IamMarina] [reply]

Wow...

♥ [Ink Designs] [reply]

if it is true (innocent till proven guilty and all) she has issues...serious issues. however, i choose not to judge till the facts are in. im a parent, i have had a 12 year old. [ningaStar] [reply]

Holy crap.... only in Georgia... [kel-syStar] [reply]

that will teach him nothing except violence is acceptable. actually - inflicting violence on something else is acceptable.
