Right Under Mom’s Nose - Motherhood Total Fail

When I was a kid, between the ages of 10 and 12, my Mum had a pretty good handle on all my activities. Don’t get me wrong, I could finagle my way into trouble, usually when I was out of sight of my Mum, away from the house and hopefully out of sight of her excellent informant network, though I could also accomplish this in the yard, in essence right under my Mum’s nose. I doubt very much, though, that I and my brothers would have managed to get away with the following right under my Mum’s nose.

When a deputy responded to a call about dog fighting at an Orange County home Wednesday, he found several emaciated, injured dogs, and one dead canine that had been cut open.

A brown puppy — dehydrated and covered in fleas — ran outside the front door. As the deputy stood nearby, one of the suspects grabbed the puppy by its neck and struck it in the head several times with closed fists.

The suspects: 10- and 12-year-old brothers.

The boys, whom the Orlando Sentinel is not identifying because they are minors, were both arrested on charges of cruelty to animals and fighting and baiting animals.

What was the boys’ Mother’s repsonse to this?

The boys’ mother told the deputy they needed to go to jail.

“I’m sick of them two stealing dogs, bikes and having all the neighborhood coming by here looking to us,” according to the report.

Has this woman any understanding of discipline?
