Sixth-grader admits stabbing ducks with pencil

WICHITA, Kansas (AP) -- A sixth-grader stabbed to death a mother duck and two ducklings that had nested near a school, distressing the other children and alarming officials who said the boy needs mental health treatment.

Students at Wilbur Middle School had named the mother duck Lucy and were monitoring her and her brood, making sure no one disturbed the nest in a grassy creek bed. Their mutilated bodies -- stabbed with a pencil -- were found this week.

An announcement over the public address system led the boy to admit the killings, officials said. They said he had also talked about the act to classmates and didn't understand why it was wrong.
The boy, whose name was not released, was suspended Wednesday. His return to the school will hinge on a hearing.
School officials were responding "the way we do whenever we believe that a child might be a risk to himself or others," said Liz McGinness, who coordinates the district's mental health crisis team.

She said his parents were being told they must seek outside mental health care. "We really don't mince words on this," she said. "We know that animal cruelty is a very serious, significant behavior."

No decision has been made on possible criminal charges. Killing mallard ducks is illegal this time of year, and even in hunting season, the way they were killed would be illegal, officials said.
Mark Rankin, assistant director of law enforcement for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, said the boy may not be charged because of his age. A hunting violation charge could bring an adult up to seven days in jail and a $250 fine, while animal cruelty carries up to a year in jail and $10,000 in fines, he said.

Kris Meckenstock said his seventh-grade son helped monitor the nest and "just can't believe somebody could be so mean."
"By the same token, I think that kid obviously needs help," Meckenstock added. "My thought is, we need to look a little bit further and find out why somebody would have those tendencies."
Wilbur students and staff held a ceremony Thursday "to share their grief for these animals," McGinness said.

Well theres another antisocial kid for you. Does a kid stabbing a duck being a top story in CNN seem kinda odd to you?

stinkyfj60 · 05-04-07, 01:34 PM

And they held a ceremony for the animals?

But yeah, that is fucked up and the kid is definetly a walking time bomb.

beaufort-fj60 · 05-04-07, 01:39 PM

I bet his parents are also a real class act.

Kids who treat animals like this usually end up treating humans in the same manner.

Sick little bastid. . . . the world is full of them.

Antisocial people are really interesting, some people with those kind of tendencies become fighter pilots or crazy risk takers, some become serial killers. It all depends on their environment as children and how they develop as individuals.

That's an interesting viewpoint. I guess some fawked up kids have grown up to be some remarkable people.

I would consider the kid in question's future to be questionable.

Most definitly, hes already gone down the wrong path. The thrill seeking thing comes into play because antisocial people are fearless, and often disregard the consequences of their actions to themselves and others, which is probably a good thing if you make your living jumping off of things or living on the edge of crashing out of control.

Associated Press, Friday, May 4

Sacramento, California

AP-Following up on the news that a sixth grade child was caught stabbing a mother duck and her chicks, a member of a popular 4 wheel drive forum apparently went off the edge. We were able to secure exclusive interviews of friends and acquaintances of the killer.

Comments from the forum members drew wide viewpoints...

"We all thought that we really knew him. He is a respected member of our forum, but we aren't too upset that he went off the deep end. The kid had it coming, the little prick!" White Shark.

"The kid is obviously an oppressed art student who is just speaking out through his actions. Don't ask me how I know these things. My qualifications would prove my statement true, however," Swank60

"Check out the rack on the dead kid's mom! I'd hit that with Junk's junk! Yo." Noah.

"Maybe the child needed counseling as he is obviously part of the Bush conspiracy to undermind K-12 education in our schools", Rugster.

The District Attorney's Office will not be filing charges. After consulting with forum members, and the fact that Mickey Rubicon provided drinks at the forum meeting, it was decided that Doug was acting in self defense. The dead kid's mom will never walk straight again however, and the District Attorney's Office is considering filing charges against Noah....

Sure, like there's anything ELSE to do in Ks.

Jon in NC · 05-04-07, 02:28 PM

Humm.... I read that a sixth grade boy kills some ducks, might not be SO bad. Most boys that age are exploring the boundaries of their individual power over their environment. Testing their own limits as well as the limits of their world. Then I read;

"An announcement over the public address system led the boy to admit the killings, officials said. They said he had also talked about the act to classmates and didn't understand why it was wrong."

Whoa! At this I see where he may be showing the signs of a bigger problem.

Just another little Cho.

Lock the sick brat up and toss the key.

I need that kids phone number. If he can kill mallards with a pencil, I want to take him hunting next season.

Pencil lead fucks up the yummy liver taste of a wild mallard.

agent orange · 05-04-07, 03:28 PM

Yeah, its ok to waste them in midair with a flurry of hot lead, but dont you dare stab them with a pencil. Thats messed up.

Red Herring · 05-04-07, 03:37 PM

Why didn't my froggie golf make CNN way back when? If I had stabbed the buggers to death, would that have been more gruesome than a 4 iron?

I want my 2 minutes of child infamy damn it!

No, I don't want him to kill them with a pencil, he can use a gun. I just think that any kid that can do that with a pencil might be even more lethal with something that has a pattern.
