I do hope your little pup is fine after the vet checks him over.
Poor puppy.
I have raised 3 children and at the age of 5 years old a child, under
normal upbringing should be responsible for his/her actions.
Any 5 yrs old that does not know it's bad to throw a living creature
off a deck or even would want to has some sort of problem.
Most children would cry at seeing an animal hurt, at least mine would.
For heavens sake my granddaughter was three when I bought Buddy
and she was with me. She was so gentle to him and touched him
with such love and caring it touched my heart.
It's apparent to me that this child has never been around animals
and has not been taught what is right or wrong.
As far as leaving a 5yrs old out in the yard to play I see nothing wrong
with it. My children played in our yard with a friend while I was keeping
an eye out from the house, of course.
In some families 5yr olds take care of smaller siblings! If your child at the
age of 5 is not responsible enough to know right from wrong you better
get moving and teach him.
Are you saying that a five year old would not know the difference of
slapping or throwing an infant off the bed? To me it's the samething.
This boy is either spoiled rotten or just get's away with anything he
wants due to lack of guidance from his parent's. These kids are the ones
who cause trouble down the road.
I would most diffenately have a talk with his parents.
I would also never allow this child around the puppy until he get's
some dissapline and if the money is needed I would continue
to baby sit him but keep a watchful eye out for anything else he
might do.
I do hope your puppy will not be tramatized by this.
Saying a prayer that he will be alright. |
