I just read this on cnn. It's just horrible. I agree - serial killer in the making.

I agree that this boy has a serious problem. Noah is 5 and he is just so sweet and gentle with animals. Most mornings he sits and watches TV before school with his little hermit crab walking up his arm and Matty and Kalina sitting near him. That's the way a normal child acts. If my child started killing animals I'd RUN to the nearest mental health professional.

I don't wish death on a seven year old child. This is almost unbelievable, but we can see it is the truth. I feel pity for this child, there is something seriously wrong with him. I hope someone gets him help, if he can be helped.

Too bad he didn't make it to the crocodile.

No Kidding! My son will be 7 in January. There is NEVER a time I dont know where he is. I feel so lucky to have such a sweet kid too. He is so gentle with animals. Triss, our yorkie, actually prefers my son even over me and my husband. Its so cute when they lay together on the couch and he rubs her belly and she falls asleep. I completely trust my son with our 4 1/2 lb yorkie.

What the H_LL. That kid has some very.....serious mental issues. It's so sad to say though that at his age, the court system probably won't do a lot to him. Even if they put in to a juvenile detention center for a while, someone like that, I don't think can be rehabilitated.

Rest in Peace, each and every one of you dear animals who that demented boy took your lives away from you.

I have babysat & have been around Some Children with some serious mental disorders & They have Always been able to be Gentle to our pet's.
I really hope the parent's are Really punished & The child is taken away.
Who know's if the parent's helped him get in, Who know's if the child was Raised to kill like this. It's sad... Those poor Animals.

I respectfully disagree. The blame for this incident is squarely on the parents. Personality disorder or not, this is a 7 year old child running loose creating havoc. At this age where he is, what he is doing...anything and everything he does is his parents responsibility. All the more so if he does have a disorder, his parents are surly aware of it and must not allow him out without adequate supervision. He is not just a minor but a small child, his parents are 100% totally responsible for his safety and actions. The fact is, he should have never had the opportunity to do so much harm. What if, heaven forbid, he had a friend with him and he pushed that child in to the croc pen? It's not just what he did, but when he did it, "early Wed morning" and how, as a 7 year old, he was able to get there.

The report does not say if the parents had noticed him missing and were looking for him. Or how far they lived from the zoo. I would like to know that. How is a 7 year old child, "early Wed morning" able to leave home without being missed?

I did hear that because of his age he can not be prosecuted, but that they were going to pursue all legal avenues against the parents. I think that is reasonable and justified. If the parents are not able to protect the child or the public from the child then something needs to be done.

Maybe he does have a mental disorder. Or maybe he has seen his father or someone else mistreat animals. If he is that disturbed his parents should have noticed and got him some help. Either way he should be put in a hospital for treatment. His parents should be prosecuted. But that will not bring those animals back. My children and step daughter have always been good with animals. I do not know what I would do if they killed one. I would probably put them in a mental hospital after I whipped their ass.

This kid is a serial killer in the making!! All serial killers start out torturing animals and then move on to humans!! The kid didn't even blick or show any emotion and he not only fed live animals to a croc but bashed those lizards to death!! TWISTED!! I bet we'll be seeing his name in the news connected the murders in 10 to 15 years!
