WARM SPRINGS, Ga.—A Georgia woman is in jail after police say she forced her son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer as punishment for bad grades.
The sheriff of rural Meriwether County told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday that the 12-year-old boy told his teacher about the killing. The teacher reported it to the Division of Family and Child Services, who contacted police.
Sheriff Steve Whitlock said 38-year-old Lynn Middlebrooks Geter of Warm Springs faces one charge each of animal cruelty, child cruelty and battery.
The sheriff's office said she remained in the Meriwether County jail early Friday. It was not immediately known if she had a lawyer.
Meriwether County is located about 90 minutes southwest of Atlanta.

That woman should be banned from owning pets or having child for the rest of her life. There is something very definitely wrong with that woman.
omg, what a horrible, horrible person. she is a sick, twisted individual and I hope she gets some treatment for that insane behavior before she is allowed to rejoin the world.
i agree she should be banned from owning any pets at all and she's obviously not fit to raise a child.
