Can't tell if you're serious or not, but......
I'm sure there are plenty reading this that don't care about animals. While I don't agree with you calling your son an "idiot", I see where you're coming from. I'll most likely get like 50 thumbs down for this but I don't care. Make him feel guilty. Never let him live it down. Make sure he knows how stupid it was to feed your beloved dog chocolate. Now if he was younger, like 4, that would be one thing. But I don't know any 10 year old that doesn't have enough common sense not to feed a dog chocolate.

First of all, you're a frikkn idiot. You need to lay off the drugs and alcohol. You don't talk about your child like that! He's only 10! He doesn't know that feeding a dog chocolate will kill him! He saw it as sharing! He thought it was a good thing! It sounds to me that you need to get your priorities straight. It's clear you loved the dog more than you love your son. Your son should come first! You should not punish him. The death of his dog is enough punishment, plus the fact that he feels that it's his fault...plus the fact that his stupid parent is responding this way! You should love on him, tell him it's okay. It was an accident! He didn't kill the dog on purpose! Even if he had killed the dog on purpose, you're still overreacting by calling him a stupid idiot of a son and saying that you believe he is mentally retarded! By the way, I take great offense to someone calling someone who is not mentally retarded, mentally retarded. Not only are you making fun of the child that is not mentally retarded, but you're also making fun of every person in this world that truly is mentally retarded! I also see that as verbal abuse toward your child. Why did you allow your child to have a huge 1/2 pound chocolate bar anyway? I see that as neglect. Chocolate bars are fine, but don't allow him to have anything bigger than regular size. You're not fit to be a parent.

Well, first of all, you sound like you're being pretty careless when you talk about your son. Yeah he made a mistake, a huge one, but that's no reason to call him an idiot. If you think he's mentally retarded take him to a doctor so that they can check him out. If you are just saying that out of frustration, then there is something wrong with you. Kids make a mistakes and mes things up, dealing with it is part of your job as a parent. Stop calling your son names and sit down and talk with him to find out why he did it. If he did it on purpose then you need to ground him for a very long time and get him checked out to see if he has anger issues. If it was an accident, I would talk to him and tell him why what he did was wrong. You can still punish him, just don't be as hard on him as if he did it on purpose. Take the responsibility for teaching him instead of calling him names.

Hey, is he the one born with disabilities or just another unfortunate child you have and were you serious when you asked others to agree that beatings should be allowed as punishment., anyways.......
Personally, I'd look at why he didn't know that feeding the dog chocolate would cause death (he was probably never told). The child is only ten and you are the adult. If you loved your dog you should have made sure that everyone was aware of this. By punishing him is not necessary, it was not his fault. He has already had punishment by knowing that his actions, caused death of a beloved pet .

I would call someone immediately. I'm pretty sure that if he does it again, the police will arrive to find the dead body of a 10 year old boy with a knife through the heart. How about getting him a loving family? I grew up in a family where no one appreciated me. It's not good, trust me. If you don't want a "mentally retarded" son, another family would gladly provide him the life he needs to survive.
oh yeah, the next time you get a dog, don't eat so much chocolate and leave it around, you lard.

He's only 10. He more than likely didn't know the effects of giving dogs chocolate and maybe he was just trying to be nice to the dog. If you loved the dog as much as you say you do, then more than likely, so did your son. Killing his dog is punishment enough. I would think he's grieving just like you are and feels terrible enough that he doesn't need the person who should be comforting him screaming at him and calling him names like stupid idiot. I understand that you're angry but you are both suffering the loss and you should be more caring and explain to him what happened.

ok I'm not sure if I should be laughing at this or not, lol. Is this just some joke or whats the deal? If not then I am truly sorry for your loss. If so then the other people who have answered need to get the stick out of their arses!
Did your son know chocolate would hurt the dog? If not then don't go too tough on him. If so, I'd beat him with a chocolate bar, and hang big pictures of him around town that said "BEWARE DOG KILLER", lol jk.
My 3 yr old knows not to feed chocolate to a dog, so I find it hard to believe that a 10yr old doesn't know the same.
If he really did this and he did it to be mean, you need to think counseling not punishment. He's on his way to Dahmer-ville if he is murdering animals on purpose.

First of all stop insulting your son. Secondly where were you when this happened you could have stopped it. Also he is a child and isn't born knowing this. Where did he get the bar from a 10yr should have that much chocolate. I think you should be punished for being a rude parent and for not watching him leave him alone just tell him nicely what he did what happened and that you are very upset.

you should not punish him did you tell him the dog cannot eat chocolate? If you didnt there is nothing you can do but take it as a loss and deal with it you also need to deal with your parenting issues because it seems like you cared more about the dog than your child so that may be something you need to work on you should really talk to some one about that

How should you punish him?? How should you punish him? no no ...how about how should you be punished verbally abusing you son and sounding like an ignorant parent~
How about someone call CPS and take your child away from you
so you will not have any more "problems" with your child~ then they can place him in a loving caring home and you can mourn over your dog instead~ sounds like a great idea to me how about you?? (seems like a dog is more important to you than your kid anyway). You are a pathetic person and I feel pity for people like you~
