Boy fed zoo reptiles to crocodile

SYDNEY, Australia - A 7-year-old boy broke into a popular Outback zoo, fed a string of animals to the resident crocodile and bashed several lizards to death with a rock, the zoo's director said Friday.

The 30-minute rampage, caught on the zoo's security camera, happened early Wednesday after the boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center in central Australia, said zoo director Rex Neindorf.

The child then went on a killing spree, bashing three lizards to death with a rock, including the zoo's beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-foot, 440-pound saltwater crocodile, said Neindorf.

Too bad.. Lil' Jeffery Dahmer didn't slip..

I'm so ROTF at this comment - thanks - and you are so right - too bad he didn't.

I don't get it - 7 is one of the cutest ages kids can be - this kid is a serial killer in the making

Wow, how very sad, and even more so, the fact that we read more and more of these stories every day, as the time goes by people start getting desensitized and wont pay much attention or think is very serious the fact that a 7 YO is killing, today is animals, who knows what or who tomorrow...
Where were does parents? I hope this child gets help..

You are 100% correct, It starts out with the lives of animals and then progresses to other people when they get older. This story sickens me, and i too wish he had slipped

:eek: I am stunned!! You're right ... where were his parents?? They should be prosecuted ... whatever the law will allow and this kid should be put in an institution!! :mad:

:eek: :cry: :(

That boy needs serious help and his parents too:mad: How can you not know where your 7 year old child is?!?!?!:confused:

Reading stuff like this makes me wonder if serial killers are born not created. I can't see any normal person enjoying death ...let alone a child....it's got to be a defect in their brain chemistry.

Makes you wonder if therapy and medication would even work when someone is this mentally defective. Little boys just don't do stuff like this :(

his parents must be so proud.

This was my exact thought! Where are the parents?? since when is a 7y allowed to roam free? i wouldnt even let my 9y go to the bus stop by himself. (not that he lives with me now but that is a WHOLE different rant!)

Funny, we were reviewing Antisocial Personality Disorder, which the media calls people with this psychopaths, in class yesterday. Sadly, it's a PERSONALITY disorder, which means it's in your personality and there's not a whole lot that can be done. Though with a kid this young he'd probably be diagnosed with Conduct Disorder and then eventually APD as he got older.

But it's still terribly sad when you see instances of it in the news!

Edited to add: Since this is probably the beginning of what may be a personality disorder you can't place too much blame on the parents. People with personality disorders are extremely difficult to live with and deal with. While his parents should know where their 7 year old is, he is an exceptional 7 year old....

His actions are those of a future serial killer!
Sorry to say, IMPO he needs to be put away for life.
No therapy in the world will correct the missing part of his brain.
What a very sad story for all those involved.
I have to say I feel so sorry for his parents unless he has been
abused in the past but I have read stories where parents
were loving and normal but produced a child like this.
Very sad. I wonder if he were adopted. I say this because I
had seen a Montel Williams show years ago regarding this very
thing and adopted children. Poor parents could get no help from
the adopting agencies years later and did not know how to deal
with the kids as they grew up. Scary show and so pathetic for
the parents.

agreed!

Oh, by the way, psychopaths that are able to function highly (usually from pretending, that are hold a job and have people convinced that they're normal) are VERY VERY rare. While highly publicized how many cases of Jeffery Dahmbers or Ted Bundys do you hear about in a lifetime?

Good news: There's a lot more people that do horrible things but wouldn't go so far as to kill people then there are people that truly don't care or differentiate from right and wrong and will kill AND even fewer of those that no one notices. Think child sexual predators, how many of them look "normal" versus those that are really creepy and skeezy!

Edited to add: Ted Bundy always comes up in conversations like these around here, kind of interesting in a sad way to know that the person you're talking about did unimaginable things just a little ways away.

that is disturbing. I cant believe that boy was roaming around with the thought of killing the animals. hey if i was 7 and wanted to break in to the zoo i would be petting the animals.. lol

7 years old and has probably been doing things like this for awhile. Sounds like his parents have already lost control of him. He's headed for a life of crime.

That's what I was thinking.:D

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. :confused:

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

:thumbup::thumbup: I agree!

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.

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 agree too:thumbup:

:eek::eek: Whoa, very disturbing!! :eek::eek:
Another reason to just have furbabies instead of skin kids!!:D

ohh myyy....that is creepy. can you say "screw loose?" That kid a seriel killer in the making for sure. :eek:

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!
