I wonder how much of that that child is going through might be a genetic issue.....mate with poor genes & then continue in the breeding line....human or animal.

It's obvious that the mother has no self-esteem because she picked a guy who abused her, then she allows her child to walk all over her & abuse everything around him without anything more than grounding.

She's dealing with a dead hamster now.......in this childs later life, it sounds to me like she's going to be dealing with a lot of human lives that will have been taken because she refused to take action at this point in his life.

Sounds to me like she has been abused in her younger life or she wouldn't have such low self-esteem & would not be willing to do nothing to protect herself or take care of her son just for fear he might be taken away.

Got news, a child of 14 months has learned a whole lot from the environment he was around.....they absorbe & understand more than we can even imagine.

My daughter at 10 months was walking......somehow, my keys came up missing.....I am sure she threw them in the trash because I never did find them....so I put a new set of keys together. I came home from school & put my keys down in the front room.....went into the kitchen & heard my keys jangling......I yelled at my daughter to put my keys back in my purse & leave them alone (10 months old). I heard her running down the hall. I thought my purse was in the front room so I went running down the hall after her.....there she was standing at the end of my bed.....putting MY KEYS into MY PURSE that was laying on my bed......that was at 10 months old.....so you can only imagine what that little boy learned by the time he was 14 months.
