Kid Pours Water Over Woman’s Cat So She Teaches Him A Lesson By Pouring A Basin Of Water On Him
Twitter is up in arms over the situation that developed between user Shannoncooperox and her neighbors. Shannon said that she threw a basin of water over her neighbor’s “10-year-old” kid because he threw a cup of water over her cat. His dad then got incredibly mad about what happened.
The post started a heated debate on the social media platform: some Twitter users believe that Shannon was wrong to do this, others thought that the kid deserved what he got and blamed his dad for not teaching him proper manners. Meanwhile, a third group of people believes that both sides were to blame and that there are no winners in this story.
The situation got even weirder when Shannon clarified that her neighbor’s kid is actually 13 and just “looks 10.” She also said that the kid and his dad were laughing about what happened later on and hinted that all of them are actually friends. Let us know what you think about this incident in the comment section below, dear Pandas! We’d love to hear your take on things.

Shannon’s post got a lot of attention online. More than 578k people liked her thread, another 70.2k retweeted it, and these numbers keep going up and up.
The Twitter user wrote that ever since her post about her cat and how she poured water over her neighbor’s kid, she’s been flooded with direct messages and some guys are even sending her inappropriate pictures of themselves.
Whatever opinion you might have about what Shannon did, what some people are doing is just not right. Or, as she put it herself, “Wtf is wrong with people I don’t wanna see that [crap].”
This story highlighted a lot of polarizing topics, like good parenting, how to be a good neighbor, whether or not revenge is the way to go, the wrong way to treat animals, and others. It’s an ethical minefield, so let’s keep the discussion civil, Pandas!

A 10 years old kid knows perfectly what he is doing. In fact, 10/11 years is some kind of intelligence peak every kid reaches before the dumb age of puberty. The kid deserved it. Play with matches, get a burn!
The kid's 13 it says later on. Though the dumb ages of puberty shouldn't be an excuse. May even make the whole thing worse.
Shelp, I could show you people in their forty you won’t be so sure they know what they do.
.....and they probably can thank their parents for that obtuseness.

If it was my kid, he would have come late to the ice bucket challenge. That said. Sharon is an asshole*. Retaliation is not ok and shows this loser of a kid that acting on an impulse is normal. My forced ice bucket challenge would be after an elaborate talk about this construct. I'm an asshole too and you will understand why if you're my kid ;) I believe knowledge is gained by theory and experience. *And rightfully so. No child got hurt only it's growing ego.
There's nothing 'asshole' about retaliation. Our entire human nature of justice is based on the idea that negative action has consequences. And Sharon's response was hardly impulsive. It was calculated to be appropriate; kid got back exactly what he gave out.
@Peter Bear. There's a difference between justice and one person retaliating. And the biggest difference is it's not up to one person to be judge, jury and executioner to give the defendant a chance to shed some light on their case. Sharon's action was very much impulsive and only based on her judgment. She probably did not consult anyone else in the process. If anything an eye for an eye leaves little room for learning. That being said, I was joking, obviously no one dies from a nice splash of water ;)
Two wrongs don't make a Right
Little psycho needs to learn there are consequences
That's far too harsh. It's water. No one was hurt. Not the cat, not the kid. The kid's a kid, and kids do thoughtless and dumb stuff. That doesn't make him a psycho by any conceivable stretch. The dad, on the other hand...
But kids should still have consequences for their actions, especially if their actions were just plain mean.
Harsh would be heating the water first. HARSH would be let the cat handle the situation and claw the little turd. Now THAT would be something to talk about.
Okay, the kid’s not a psycho. He’s mean. He’s mean because he knows that cats hate water and then he poured water on a cat. That wasn’t thoughtless. That was mean and intentional. Kids, on the other hand, do not have a general aversion to being wet. They swim and throw water balloons at each other. So the cat’s owner dumping a basin of water on him in response as a consequence was not cruel. The kid simply got a small taste of what he did to the cat. If it was my kid I’d tell him that he deserved it and explain why. He’d be upset, but I’d stick to my guns. The world has too many parents who excuse their child’s bad—yes,bad—behavior.
The cat may not have been hurt, but it was attacked. Teenagers who are cruel to animals need to get professional help or they're likely to get worse.
@Peter Bear, of course this was a direct consequence of his behavior. Not every consequence hurts physically. Just like the kitty got a big surprise, so did the pre teen. There is probably a tiny bit chipped of his ego by this action of Sharon. But I believe they both lived and are fine... So,
Harsh? It was water on the cat and water on the kid. Could have been the pan the water was in as well. That would have been harsh.
Bottom line a kid got water thrown on him it won't hurt him 10 year olds willingly throw water balloons at each other for god sakes the only way it will be a big deal is if the dad insists it's a big deal and puts the idea in his head that he has been hurt I actually think there is a valuable lesson here that most kids aren't taught anymore about treating others the way you want to be treated
