Report: Woman Punishes 12-Year-Old for Bad Grade by Making Him Kill His Pet Hamster With a Hammer
Georgia: 38-year-old Lynn Middlebrooks Geter has been arrested and charged with battery, child cruelty and animal cruelty after she allegedly made her 12-year-old son use a hammer to kill his hamster for getting a bad grade at school.
Police were alerted after the child told a teacher what had transpired. Geter remains in police custody and her husband Brad is refusing to comment on the case.

Parked Car Ticketed for Speeding
England: 55-year-old Jeff Buck received two tickets for speeding when a speed camera near his home photographed his car while it was parked in front of his house. Both tickets were successfully challenged and police apologised.
The 55-year-old has no driveway or garage, so he has to park his vehicle on the street. Police say the camera was probably triggered by passing cars, but Buck wants a system put in place to prevent future fines for his parked car.
"I am amused by it, but also angry that I have to go to the trouble of contacting the police. It´s amazing that whatever system is in place cannot tell the difference between a car that is motionless and one traveling at 37 mph," said Buck.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dumb and Dumber Go to Best Buy
ETwo not-so-bright burglars have been apprehended at a Best Buy store in Chattanooga, TN, after they took three laptops to the Geek Squad to have their passwords changed. The employee recognized the username of ´Normal Park´ on the laptop right away.
His sister just happens to teach at Normal Park elementary school, where the laptop was stolen. Justin Hill, 26, and Ivan Hill, 19, (unrelated) both face charges in the theft. Normal Park Museum Magnet´s principal, Jill Levine, was grateful.
"Sometimes everyday people become heroes, and this Geek Squad guy had the courage to keep (the two suspects at Best Buy) and call the police," she said. "Not everyone does that," said Levine.
