| Egads! Sounds like my crazy 7 yr old son.. he's done some pretty insane things in the last two months. I think boys are wired differently.. they get an idea in their head.. and they just do it without thinking about the consequences.... believe me... oY! |

| I just hope this isn't the beginning of a violent adult life because more often than not children capable of doing something like this will end up very disturbed adults.... |

Doesn't Steve Irwin's daughter have a show about wild animals now? I am wondering if the little boy was somehow influenced by something he saw on tv, but was too young to really comprehend what he was watching.
Sort of like my nephew when he was young. He watched a lot of ninja type cartoons and then proceeded to give his classmate a groin kick during a dispute over a toy.  |

"The boy was unknown at the center and had "clammed up" when questioned by police on what sparked the rampage, he said.
Neindorf said he was now looking at suing the parents of the pint-sized terror, who could easily have been taken by Terry himself as he fed the croc from a small landing at his enclosure."We'll be looking at suing the parents, who were supposedly in control of him at the time," he said."
So what exactly were the boy's parents doing at the time they never noticed he was not with them..?.I wonder what they would have done if the Croc had eaten the boy.I think that boy got away lucky, in more ways than one. |

| You know, when I was 7 and when my brothers were 7 we never would've thought about doing something like that because our parents had the good sense to spank us. Kid probably doesn't get proper disapline at home and the parents should be investigated by Austraila's equivilent of CSS. |

I would wager to guess that if the boy had been injured in any way shape of form, we would be reading that the parents were looking to sue the zoo.
The thing that I do not understand is this. How did the boy get a hold on all of those critters that he fed to the croc? Were the zoo keepers not watching either?
Most places I have gone to like that have alarms that will sound out if someone gets too close to the cage. Plus, I would think that lizards would be housed in an indoor place and put into large terrainiums with glass fronts.
I just don't get it.  |

What I want to know is how a 7 year old goes missing for the amount of time it must of taken for him to do this? Where the hell were the parents?
And right, if the crock had gotten the kid, the parents would of been sueing the zoo. What the hell is wrong with some parents these days? |

I don't know what idiot said this, but I remember back as a library page many were the times kids were throwing the books on the floor and in general misbehaving. When the librarians would ask the parents to ask their kids to behave themselves, the parents would say "Oh no! According to (whomever the idiot is) telling a child no and disaplining them keeps them from becoming an emotionally stable adult!" Basically, they read in some "child care" book that you should NEVER correct your child's wrong behavior.
I would like to find that person, and beat them within an inch of their life. Then make him or her clean up the primary room after a bunch of the kids raised under this moronic philosophy wreck it. |

"Spare the rod, spoil the child".
I've never physically abused my kids, but they know when I start counting, if I get to three, I'm not sparing the rod. And I've never been embarrassed by my children in public.
They're good kids, and they know my limits, as well as their own.
So I'm right there with ya. |

If the whole theory is correct about spanking your kids will turn them violent, etc., then I must be the exception to the rule....
I was spanked quite a bit, and I didn't turn out to be an axe murderer or serial killer!!!
What a bunch o' crap that is!!! If you don't discipline your child early, they'll terrorize YOU later. I hear it all the time at work. People complaining their kids are out running the streets even after being told they couldn't go out. If you'd have put the fear of God in them when they were 2, you wouldn't have the problems at 15!!! One swift swat on the bottom to get their attention is all it takes!!! Then stick them in a small chair in the corner. One minute for each year they are (2yo, 2 mins). It works for my sister, and she's got 2 rotten ones!!!  They're wonderful little boys, but man can they get into trouble!!!  |
