After tallying the number of times he's been hit, 8-year-old boy kills father.

The Arizona child vowed that if he got 1,000 smacks, he'd shoot his old man..

Kids, that is dedication. He had a long-term goal, and in the end he accomplished it. Nobody's going to **** with this kid at school.

1,000 smacks at 8 :shock:Skylarkell

He must have been one bad kid.

Though it's also possible that he doesn't know how to count. 

arent they gonna charge the kid with anything? its cool that he got back at him, but was that really the right thing to do? :?Xeros606

If only that kid had vowed to cure cancer at 1,000 smacks...MetroidPrimePwn

What message would that send? "Beat the hell out of your kids, it'll make 'em smart."

Or maybe the dad was abusive. :(

hmm can you count to 1000 at 8? O.oEnosh88

Yes, I'm pretty sure I was younger than 8 when I learned to count to 1000. I would count constantly during bus rides to drown out my frustrations.

I don't recall there being any signs of abuse.

The kid never tried to get help.

The kid waited until there was another innocent man in the house, and killed him too.

The kid knew that what he did was wrong enough for him to lie about it.

So as far as I'm concerned, the kid can go to hell.
