You got a D? Go get Harvey and the tool box.
A Georgia woman is in jail after police say she forced her son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer as punishment for bad grades.
The sheriff of rural Meriwether County told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday that the 12-year-old boy told his teacher about the killing. The teacher reported it to the Division of Family and Child Services, who contacted police.
Sheriff Steve Whitlock said 38-year-old Lynn Middlebrooks Geter of Warm Springs faces one charge each of animal cruelty, child cruelty and battery.
I'm disturbed by this. Not because the hamster died, but growing up I always had mice, hamsters, rats and other rodents and it bothered me when they died because of my lack of feeding or watering them. But having to kill one with a hammer that's just wrong.

That's horrible! What ever happened to taking away video games for bad grades. Seriously!
Sometimes you gotta pound those lessons home.
Looks like she got nailed for it though. Har har.
What ever happened to smacking the kid on the keister?
There are so many things wrong with that.
