He is nearly 7, so he is definitely old enough to understand it's wrong to hurt animals.
I don't live nearby, so I don't see b6 very often. Other family members have made comments about being worried about him with animals, but I thought they were probably being overly dramatic. Things tend to get broken when he is around. And I know family members get frustrated.
There was another incident that same day, but I didn't witness it, so I am not really sure what happened. B6 was alone with his cousin (also 6) upstairs, and then B6 came down the stairs, and the cousin's dad saw him and thought he looked suspicious and asked what he was doing. B6 said he wasn't doing anything, but then the dad heard his son crying upstairs. The cousin was very shaken up and said B6 had tackled him and was blocking him from leaving the room. At the time I thought it was just boys being boys, but the cat incident makes me wonder.
