8-year-old’s behaviour stuns town
In the isolated town of Stoneville, N.L., population less than 500, residents are starting to wonder what to do about an eight-year-old boy whose behaviour has long concerned them, but has now grown violent.
First, it was a dog bludgeoned to death with a barbecue utensil in June. And now it's a dozen ducks, hens and chicks kept in a backyard as pets, found beaten with gardening tools on Tuesday.
The boy, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has admitted to both attacks, police say, although he is too young to be charged with a criminal offence. It is believed that the boy used gardening tools he found in the shed of Cory Hodder to kill the birds. Some were so badly abused they had to be euthanized.

are there any ADULTS in that town? What are they going to do, wait till he kills somebody? He needs his ass kicked.
Kicking his ass is a good idea. But he could then just hide his sadism and use it when he would not get caught. Maybe someday he will grow into a serial killer or get a job that will allow him to kill – a gunner on a military helicopter perhaps.
Certainly keep him under constant watch.
He may get some help by caring for a hurt or wounded animal. But watch him carefully.
