"This 7-year-old boy was caught on a surveillance camera, killing and then
feeding Australian zoo animals to a crocodile. Here, he throws a turtle into the croc enclosure."

In an article that I found through AOL.Com, I was intrigued to read it because of it's title, 7-year-old goes on zoo rampage. In this story, a young boy snuck into his local zoo in Australia into the reptile area and started to take many reptiles and feeding them to a 440 pound crocodile named Terry. He also killed other several animals by hitting them with rocks. The boy killed 13 animals worth over $5,000.
Because of his young age, no charges were pressed against the child but the zoo will most likely sue his parents. The owner of the zoo was surprised that the little boy did not get hurt himself. But another concern is the child's mental stability, usually kids who start killing animals at a young age have a disturbing adulthood with possibilities of becoming a killer. This story is alarming for the child, his family, and society. Could he become a problem for society in the future?
