Bingo. The call you make to CPS is anonymous and they will follow up and report back to you what they found in that instance (10 year old with a chainsaw) only. But they may find other unpleasantries (possible abuse?) in the home and may start legal action. I’m not advocating breaking up the family, but maybe the underlying issues are actually endangering the kid and something like stealing, pelting animals with fruit, and handling a chainsaw are just part of the real issues hiding under the surface. I think you owe it to the kid and make the call. Remember, he’s 10, but the parents who advocate his behavior are the actual culprits.
Um, yeah, I just checked. The boys down at the lab are working in shifts.
“What about the Creedence tapes?”

Won’t someone please think of the children and take pity on these poor little boys? They obviously suffer from Oppositional Defiant Disorder and can’t help what they’re doing. How can we possibly be so hard hearted as to blame these kids for their actions when they are suffering so much already?

Yeah, no shit Zenster. The little maggots need to spend a few months under the guidance of Ma and Pa Toad.
The immediate lessons would be:
- If it ain’t yours, don’t touch it.
- You will never be able to remember your lies, so always tell the truth.
- (From Poppa Toad) "Son, remember that the name you have, I gave you. It’s a great name. Don’t ever drag it in the dirt.
Failure to remember/obey these few rules resulted in a painful experience.
I hope that they aren’t able to get BODY HAIR, off of the inside of a TEN YEAR OLD’s shirt!!!
(just teasing you,it just struck me as kindof funny, in a cute way!!)
