No one said he needed to go to jail. Does he need to be arrested? ABSOLUTELY. Jail? No. But this should be on his record FOREVER, in my opinion, and he should be under the care of professionals 3 days ago.
With that aside, I never abused any kind of animal or insect, bug, what have you when I was young, in fact, never in my life have I ever abused anything (save chocolate milk ).
I never poured salt on snails, never pulled bugs legs off, never smooshed a bug. The one exception now is spiders, I have an extreme irrational fear of spiders and while I don't wish for them to die, I simply can not contain myself long enough to help them get out of my way. I grew up on a farm. We had chickens and barn cats, never hurt them. My brother and I would catch lizards so we could look at them and then let them run free. One time, I grabbed one and it's tail come off. I was horrified. I think I may have been in kindergarten. I was so upset, in fact, that I made my parents sit with me to have a memorial service for a lizards tail. Silly? Yes, but that shows how it's not normal for a kid to hurt innocent creatures. So no, I don't think its normal to hurt, maim or otherwise injure ANY kind of creature. Who are we, as humans, to do such a horrifying thing?
And, I agree with Sweet.. a child with that kind of rage... capable of those actions.. at SEVEN... words can not express how saddened and horrified I am.
