Dad accused of forcing girl to kill pet cat

If corporal punishment cures alcoholism, I am sure that suggestion is very helpful. It quite clearly states the man was drunk and becomes a different person when drunk. That's an alcoholic.

That's not an excuse for his appalling behaviour, but it is a clue to how to help prevent the guy from doing anything like this again - or indeed something much worse.

Just out of interest, who do you suggest should be enlisted to adminster corporal punishment Boo-Yah? I mean, it's not something that someone who wants to do it should be allowed to do. You don't see job applications for executioners for similar reasons.

Ugh. Some things you just don't want to know. I'm trying to get work done but I'm so distracted by how horrible this must have been. Those kids are going to be effed up forever now. Poor boy tried to hide the cat. I keep crying.

An vice versa. We have heard the rhetoric against corporal punishment for years now. How many cases like this exist in countries where corporal punishment is administered as punishment. Humans successfully used corporal punishment for thousands of years prior to the status quo of 'it's societies fault' and the best form of punishment is to sit down and discuss what they are angry at. It is the status quo which allows every kid caught committing crimes seen on TV to have the 'what what', I am a bad #### attitude. Just look at the clowns caught who murdered the UNC student.

"MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) -- A man was jailed Thursday on charges that he forced his 7-year-old daughter to kill the family cat by holding a knife in her hand and making her stab the pet.

Danield J. Collins, 39, told his children during a visit to his home Sunday that he wanted them to "learn how to kill" and gave his 11-year-old son a knife to do it, according to an affidavit filed in the case.

The boy tried to save the cat by hiding it under a sofa bed and putting ketchup on a knife when Collins went to the bathroom. But when the father realized that the cat was not dead, he forced his daughter to hold the knife and then held her hand tightly as he drove the knife into the animal, Muncie police Detective Jami Brown said.

Police said Collins stabbed and strangled the cat himself, and told his son to throw the dead pet in the trash. Officers retrieved the carcass to be used as evidence.

The children told family members about the incident Monday, the day after the alleged killing, according to the affidavit. The children told police that their father was drunk when they arrived at his home and that he's a different person when he's sober, it said."

What a sick #######.
