What'd I do, what's wrong?

6th-grader accused of stabbing ducks to death

WICHITA, Kansas (AP) - A sixth-grade boy has admitted he stabbed to death a mother duck named "Lucy" and her two ducklings that an elementary school had been protecting.

Students at Wilbur Middle School had been monitoring the mother duck and two ducklings, making sure no one disturbed the nest in a grassy creek bed. Their lifeless, mutilated bodies were found this week, stabbed with a pencil.

An announcement over the school's public address system brought the sixth-grade boy's admission that he killed the mother duck, whom students had named Lucy, and the two ducklings. School officials said he had talked about the act to classmates and did not understand why it was wrong.

Could be headed for trouble when older.

Stats are telling us that he got the behavior somewhere close, and that it's likely to develop into abuse of people as he gets older.
