First off sorry to hear about your loss!!! Second off lets lay off him a bit here. We all know what happen could of been avoided, but this is how kids learn from mistakes. I am pretty sure all of us as kids all wanted to have a pet when we were young, and guess what we probally didn't feed him all the time, didn't clean up his crap and made mistakes, this happens. I am sure he has learned a valuable lesson from this and it won't happen again, but I'm sure it isn't helping everyone feeling "high and mighty" and piling on this kid. I'm sure now you guys aregoing to come back with some nice comebacks to this and thats fine, lets just lay off a little!!!
PS- People only learn from the mistakes they make!!!!!!
