  Speaker 1: We got a question from American mamas, de your mama,
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: did you hear what a mom did to her son
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: after he slammed the family cat to the ground.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's mama mama.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: And joining us now our American mamas turned Outville and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Burlason. I almost don't want to continue with this
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: discussion because, I mean, you got somebody one harming a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: cat that way. Animal cruelty is off. I've had way
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: too many cats in my life to think that that's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: okay in any way, shape or form. So I'm assuming
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: this is an online viral story that I've missed somehow.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the mom actually filmed herself talking to her kids.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: So she has a son. He looks like he's probably
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: like nine ten years old. M he slammed the family
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: cat on the floor. I don't say that then you
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: don't see it. You just see her the punishment. But
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: he slammed the family cat on the floor, I guess
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: several times. So this mother made him take his PS
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: five and slam it on the ground, and then she
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: made him pick it up, slam it again, over and
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: over it till it was completely destroyed, and he's in tears,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: he's crying, and I'm of course just like, oh my gosh.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Go to the comments to see what people are saying,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: and people were very much rallying behind the mother, like
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: you know, this is great, this is but I feel
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: like they should take a little step further and he
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: needs to do some volunteering at a animal shelter or something,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: because when you are harming an animal like that, this
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: is a disturbing thing.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a precursor to serial killers. Yes, Like I mean,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you get a lot of these fairy town You look
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: at the history of mass murders and stuff like that,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of times there is animal abuse before they
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: get to human abuse. And so I'm just wondering if I'm, hey, great,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: let's do the punishment, but I also wonder how much
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: counseling do we eat.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: That's what I mean. There needs to be some more
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: steps just besides destroying a game. There needs to be
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: more that takes place, because this is beyond disturbing.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was actually my thought about it was,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: this child needs some sort of help because harming animals
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: is a precursor to something really really bad. We've all
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: seen those shows, We've all heard the stories. So if
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you have a child who's harming the family pet, yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: take away ruin, his toy, his favorite toy, his favorite
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: gaming system, bring him to tears. But there has to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: be some sort of reason why he felt inclined to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: harm an animal or what's next, a human being, right,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: little brother or little sister.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: So it was disturbing to even imagine because you don't
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: see it, thank god, but it was very disturbing to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: imagine it. And the way she was doing it. She's
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: very harsh, you know, she was like, do it again,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: pick it up. You know you're gonna throw our cat
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: on the ground. You're gonna do that? You know, I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: don't know what the family home life is. I don't
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: know you know what's going on there.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's obviously a story that you don't know just from.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: But this is not a kid that I would want
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: any of my children hanging out with if they were
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that age nine or ten. And I get wind of it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Let's say that this kid is my son's best friend,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and I get wind of this, I see a video
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, he continually just crashed his family cat
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: in the ground. You're not going over there. I don't
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: want you around this kid, you know it just the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: ramifications of something like that. I don't know what's happened
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: since because his face is out there, the story is
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: out there. I don't know what the school's going to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: do about this.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Well, and that is another thing this day and age
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: with social media. I mean, before, you know, if a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: family has a situation going on like this, the family
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: can take care of it. But now with the mom
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: posting this video media.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah he's going to be the cat.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah he's the cat PS five kid.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Well, actually, I was encouraged by her response to it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: It was encouraging because I feel like right now we're
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: in a day of age where so many kids there
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: are no consequence of his parents are bailing them out,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: make excuses for them, and I feel like a lot
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: of time parents need to see how other parents parents
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: to teach them what to do in the same kind
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: of situation. So her response was encouraging, even though it
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: was hard, even though there's like so many more.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And also the whole gaming thing, it's desensitizing these kids
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that they're they're shooting people on these games and the
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: blood's fine, and they crash, and they're in their own world,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and so they don't understand that there's real harm in
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: real life situations. They are so numb to actual consequences
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to things like that because they're in this gaming world
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: talking to real people, heads on their headset that I'm like,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you know what if this gaming system kind of contributed
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to this boy feeling like he could do that, even
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: if at nine years olds he didn't realize it would
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: really hurt the cat. Get that game away, don't let
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: them watch it. Go outside, touch grass, go explore, pick
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: up pine cones. I mean, I don't know what the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: AI answer is, but I do in a way, I
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: feel badly that this little boy is forever out there.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: No matter how old he gets. Let's say he becomes
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: a preacher and he's he's removed from all of this,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: He's still going to be remembered by a lot of
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: friends in his community as the one that harmed the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: cat in that way. So I love the way that
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: she handled it. I just don't know how I feel
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: about it being out chair for all of us to
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you know, digest and.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: To follow him forever because people, I mean, the wayback
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Machine goes.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Pretty far back.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well yeah, that's that's a difficult story all
• 5:37
