Would YOU Lock This Kid In A Dog Crate?

Tweet

This morning I read this story about this ten-year-old kid whose grandmother went to jail for locking him in a dog crate for an hour and a half. But the story gets much worse than that! Several months ago, this ten-year-old boy had wanted to go on a school trip, and wasn't permitted to go. Then, for the past several months, all of his family members started getting flu-like symptoms that refused to go away. The grandmother and an aunt had it the worst, and the aunt even lost her job because she had to miss so much work due to being violently ill. So one morning the little boy admits to his family that, for the past two months, he's been poisoning their drinking water. I guess they used the kind of water you buy from the store in jugs, and whenever the boy got a chance, he was squirting lamp oil or household cleansing fluid into the water. He was doing this over a period of two months or more because he was upset about not being allowed to go on the school trip. When the boy told his family this, his 24-year-old brother punched him in the face, and then his grandmother locked him in a dog crate. The grandmother then called child protective services and told them that if they didn't come pick up the little boy, she was going to kill him. CPS and the cops showed up and found the kid in the dog crate with his face all bruised up. So they arrested the grandmother and the older brother, and took the kid into foster care. The little boy went to say goodbye to his grandmother before he was taken away, and the grandmother told him, "Don't ever come back here again!" This story is sick and sad on SO many levels! How do you think this happened? What would you do if you found out your child had been trying to poison you for months?
