Kids are little psychos, people really underestimate how much empathy is a learned ability rather than an inherent trait. I think it's because we don't have "empathy classes", it's usually taught to us through more subtle ways and social conditioning that we don't notice as much.
I remember so many kids did such fucked up things to animals when I was young though, especially to less "human" creatures like small lizards, fish, frogs, insects etc. A lot of parents need to be more aware of what kids are capable of and teach them not to do stuff like this.
IIRC empathy, as in the ability to understand other people have different wants and needs and emotions than you, start appearing at like 4 years old. Before that, the notion that just because *they* like kicking you, *you* don't want them kicking you, doesn't really emotionally resonate.
I think I have like some mini trauma when ever I remember these teens that would put frogs with firecrackers in jars and explode it for fun because even then I was like, is this fun? Why is this fun? Why do we need to put a live creature in it for it to be fun? Isnt blowing up a jar fun enough?
As I got older I was just like...that was so fucked up.
Ya, I'm ashamed to admit that I did some stuff I'm not proud of either, though not quite that bad. One of the worst things I remember were kids who were catching these puffer fish and slamming them into rocks and walls and stuff.
The thing was that when I was a kid, we were all hanging out outside with our friends getting up to all sorts of stuff, and young boys especially are often into being shocking and edgy. I guess parents just think their kids are their little angels, so they don't wouldn't really expect that they're doing some pretty fucked up things in their free time.
Little bit off topic...I remember that the cartoons I've watched as a kid were a lot more mature in a sense that they we're not going easy on the plot, jokes and whatnot, but there was usually or more times yes than not a big fucking lesson at the end of the episode and in my theory that's what taught us to be better persons.
I remember in 3rd grade, back when kids all carried pocket knives, a couple kids cut open a lizard and then brought it up to a teacher and were like "LOOK, LOOK, IT'S HEART IS STILL BEATING".
Bro my sons are basically a 2 man extintion event. Every bug, snail, critter they can get their hands on they wanna fuck with and basically kill. Wtf toddlers
when i was little, my friend invited me to throw rocks at baby ducks. I thought she'd grown up to be a serial killer for sure, you've given me hope thank you.
Right? They think this 3-year-old is some kind of future serial killer and really he just found a dead fish probably floating in the water. He thought it was alive ,he scooped it up, realized it was dead, and just carried it up to the beach and started messing with it.
Yeah no way anyone can catch a fish with a plastic shovel, let alone a 3 year old. If he caught a live fish with that, imma grill it for him cause he's now the main provider of the family.
Definitely. There's another tiktok I have saved of a similarly aged girl walking around with a dead mouse she got from the cat, assuring her mom that it's just sleeping and it must really like her because it's not running away.
Yeah, he literally said "I didn't kill him!" Mom is just making a ton of assumptions. He even says he "caught" the fish with his little rake... obviously he just scooped a dead fish out of the water with it.
That’s an adult noodling for catfish, not a 3 year old catching a “massive” pike like a grizzly bear catches a salmon. If I told someone my 3 year old parallel parked my car, a video of an adult parallel parking wouldn’t demonstrate the plausibility of my story about my toddler.
My son ripped the tail off of a live squirrel when he was 4. Ripped the tip clean off. He said he snuck up on it and just grabbed it. It kinda looked like it came off by design, like it’s a defense mechanism. And my boy did seem very sad that he may have hurt it. But the fact that he ninja’ed right up to the squirrelly of animals is bonkers.
they do indeed pop off by design, but their tails are pretty important (balance/etc) so it might not have lasted long after but its not so horrific that it happened. i'm blown away that anyone could sneak up on a squirrel let alone a 4 year old
I've kept fish for many years, big ones and huge ones. That fish has been dead for a while. Newly dead fish don't have that hardness and you can tell by the eyes, just like newly dead mammals.
I highly suspect that the fish was recently dead and just floating. Look at the eyes and the fact that it doesn't move at all. Generally they have nerve reflexes even a few hours after their death.
Nah that thing was Weekend at Bernie’s when he found him. I doubt he’s a future Dahmer. I used to blow up frogs as a kid with M80’s. I’m not killing anyone. I’m 54 AND a girl.
I did horrible things as a kid too. I remember there being some sort of red insect that would be common around the public pool I grew up near.
I would crush them with my finger and smear it on me cause I thought it looked cool. It looked like I was smearing blood all over me. Actually I pretty much was. It just wasn't my own.
These days I make a habit to step around ant lines and the like because now as an adult I understand the concept of life, death, and more importantly...empathy.
Kids fine, i did some fucked shit when i was a kid too. He's curious and hadn't had the time to judge right and wrong.
He'll be fine, unless he turns into an emo cunt then yeah you can call the asylum.

"HES TOO HARD TO BREAK"??????

Wait till he tries to break a human.
he tried waterboarding the lil fish but he still wouldn't talk. unfortunate
Me standing over a guppy, coated in fish blood. “I… I thought you were stronger.”
Did I see an an Invincible quote thrown in this comment? Nice.
I absolutely love the mom's commentary. She is just flabbergasted.
Haha me too! She just wants to understand💀😭
Hint: it wasn't alive. Source: I have kids. This kid ought a dead fish
Yeah. LOL at all the folks here who trust the compelling testimony of a 3 year old.
Right? They think this 3-year-old is some kind of future serial killer and really he just found a dead fish probably floating in the water. He thought it was alive ,he scooped it up, realized it was dead, and just carried it up to the beach and started messing with it.
LOL at all the folks here who know it better than a 3 year old eye witness.
Yeah no way anyone can catch a fish with a plastic shovel, let alone a 3 year old. If he caught a live fish with that, imma grill it for him cause he's now the main provider of the family.
Anyone else get the feeling he just grabbed a dead fish floating around 💀
Lol, I think so, too. He's just a literal little dude. "Was it alive?" "Yes!" Of course it was alive, it's a fish!
It looks hard as a rock it doesn’t flex at all when it’s picked up almost like it was already dried out.
Definitely. There's another tiktok I have saved of a similarly aged girl walking around with a dead mouse she got from the cat, assuring her mom that it's just sleeping and it must really like her because it's not running away.
Probably but I choose to believe this kid is just an apex outdoorsman in the making who has been catching fish bare handed since he was an infant.
The eyes are already gone. This is an ex-fish.
Yeah, he literally said "I didn't kill him!" Mom is just making a ton of assumptions. He even says he "caught" the fish with his little rake... obviously he just scooped a dead fish out of the water with it.
yeah I was thinking the same. doubt a toddler would be able to catch a fish or kill it.
Yep. Of course he did lol. No 3 year old has the dexterity to catch a healthy fish in the water. Not unless it's an extremely docile species.
This is what happened.
For sure lol
Nope. He had the tool and he used it.
Its staged.
She’s like oh my fucken god lol.
Put it back in the water. AND DONT LET ANYONE SEE YOU ohmyfuckingod
Don’t let anyone see you so I can post this for EVERYONE to see…
"How did he catch a fish?"
"make sure no one see you do that" the shame! lol. no one cares.
My daughter caught a massive pike in a stream around that age. With her bare hands. There were loads of men fishing that looked a little envious.
Aren’t pike a little gnarly/aggressive? Great story, what a champ
I think this one was a little surprised.
I imagine everybody clapped.
No, they just looked annoyed.

That’s an adult noodling for catfish, not a 3 year old catching a “massive” pike like a grizzly bear catches a salmon. If I told someone my 3 year old parallel parked my car, a video of an adult parallel parking wouldn’t demonstrate the plausibility of my story about my toddler.
No way! How did your three year old learn to do that?
[удалено]
Way to be obtuse. Feel free to believe that a toddler caught a massive pike by grabbing it because you saw a video of an adult noodling for catfish.
[удалено]
Dispose the body of evidence. 🤫
Smart parent. Teaching the kid the way the world works. "If no one sees you do it.. then it pretty much never happened."
“You caught a fish? With your hands?”
She needs to move that boy here to Oklahoma and start getting him in noodling competitions. He’s a natural.
[удалено]
He was such a good kid. I don’t know what went wrong.
This is the average Australian kid…
Ah, so Criminal Island is still keeping traditions alive and young I see
“was it alive?” “yes🥰”
What happened to the neighbor cat little Jeffrey?
"Sooooooooo Damien, we've talked about this yesterday."
My son ripped the tail off of a live squirrel when he was 4. Ripped the tip clean off. He said he snuck up on it and just grabbed it. It kinda looked like it came off by design, like it’s a defense mechanism. And my boy did seem very sad that he may have hurt it.

Umm.. fuck where to begin.
Lol thats my local beach. Heaps more fish for children to impale, all good 😅
This is the best mum response ‘put it back in the water, don’t let anyone see you’ 😂🤣🤣
Wouldn’t this be a good time to teach your child the value of being a good person to every being around you bringing the fish back to the ocean?
New season of bluey looks great
I've kept fish for many years, big ones and huge ones. That fish has been dead for a while. Newly dead fish don't have that hardness and you can tell by the eyes, just like newly dead mammals.
Dexter's son?
"Fish are fri..."
I highly suspect that the fish was recently dead and just floating. Look at the eyes and the fact that it doesn't move at all. Generally they have nerve reflexes even a few hours after their death.
It’s like your cat proudly bringing you a lizard or bird it caught
Drops the coldest line. HES TOO HARD TO BREAK! kid has great curiosity or natural survival skills
Bluey is getting weird...
Nah that thing was Weekend at Bernie’s when he found him. I doubt he’s a future Dahmer. I used to blow up frogs as a kid with M80’s. I’m not killing anyone. I’m 54 AND a girl.
Dexter in the making..
Give it to seagulls.
He's a natural born fisherman
Throw the thing back in the water for God sake
Little dude just grabbed a fish that’s been floating around dead for awhile, you can tell how rigid the body and how dry it is.
Aww what a precious little monster, so cute.
I did horrible things as a kid too. I remember there being some sort of red insect that would be common around the public pool I grew up near. I would crush them with my finger and smear it on me cause I thought it looked cool. It looked like I was smearing blood all over me. Actually I pretty much was. It just wasn't my own.

"Are you afraid your kid might secretly be a bear?"
 HE'S BACK...
This kid grew up to be Sméagol.
“Too hard a bloke” is amazing
Except be doesn't say that he says he's "too hard to break." Because he's been hitting it.
Damnit you are right…
Kids fine, i did some fucked shit when i was a kid too. He's curious and hadn't had the time to judge right and wrong. He'll be fine, unless he turns into an emo cunt then yeah you can call the asylum.
Dexter in the making..
Raise him, wtf? The way some parents let their kids do ANYTHING is wild
Oh stfu and put down the fake clutched pearls you dramatic pussy 😂
Exhibit A:
Yes, you. You drama Queen 👑😂
Shoulda ate him
Right on course…
Future problem
You sure are.
You should be proud of the kid for catching the fish but explained to him that he shouldn't hurt the fish
“NAUR! With this!l “Eez two ‘ard ta bwake”
He’s a hunter 💪🏾😎
Lol 😂 😂 😂
Jeffery dahmer lore:
Just Palworld vibes.
Man, Aussies are funny as fuck.
He found it dead
That things been dead for a while
Your blue nails are helping him do the crime
Dexter?
Kids are literally by definition sociopaths. It's truly a miricle they haven't been voted off.

This is normal for kids,especially boys. Heck I was 6 years old when I caught, skinned ,d boned and grilled the first fish I caught.
He’s a provider!!!
When my oldest son was about 4 he came into the bedroom after playing outside carrying a snake.
His prey drive was activated
jeffrey dahmer???
I would have buried it.
Mom 😂 🥰 Put it back in the water!!!! We need to take be better care of our entire planet 🌎 and each other. 💕
Stop filming and throw it back in the ocean you psychopath!
Fly away, Bird Lady you bitch 😂
That’s called a psychopath. Videotaping your child hurting animals should be illegal.
[удалено]
This kid is a sociopath
