I am so glad you were able to rescue Charlie.
Regarding animal cruelty, it happens an awful lot more often than I would expect in a civilized world. Empathy for other living creatures is something that most children should have, but many don't. Yes serial killers start out that way, but so do some plain ordinary folks. The literature says it is done by those who feel inferior and use torture as a way to feel powerful.
It still tears me up that stuff like that happens. No matter how much I read, I don't understand how some people can be so cruel. There's got to be more to it than a lousy childhood, because plenty of people with lousy childhoods turn out to be kind gentle adults.
That 12 year old needs help now. I don't understand the part about no witnesses. Did he scare the other kids into not talking?
