Cruel and Unusual Punishment: Child Skips Homework, Mother Turns His Dog Over to Kill Shelter
Posted by 
21 commentsThere is no point in even trying to understand the depravity behind a woman’s decision to punish her son by putting his pet’s life at risk: those of us who love dogs can’t even begin to relate to such thinking.
*Update: Jewel is safe. The Lexus Project stepped in yesterday and took possession of Jewel. This picture from Facebook says it all.
Jewel is currently on the urgent list at the Brooklyn AC&C. Her listing explains that she is at risk of being put down, and that she was surrendered by a woman who wanted her son to pay more attention to his homework. From her listing:
My name is JEWEL. My Animal ID # is A0919786.
I am a female tan and white pit bull mix. The shelter thinks I am about 1 year 7 months old.
I came in the shelter as a OWNER SUR on 12/17/2011 from NY 11237, owner surrender reason stated was PERS PROB.
EUTH MEMO
No Euth Memo
MOST RECENT MEDICAL RATING, BEHAVIOR RATING & WEIGHT

Jay’s owners surrendered Jewel because their child would not do his homework 
12/28/2011 PET PROFILE MEMO
1: – Why are you surrendering this dog?The owner stated that the animal was for her son whom is not in compliance and not focused on school work.
For obvious reasons, we would love to see this innocent dog find a home before it is too late.
She thinks she has problems now with him not doing homework, just wait he will resent her and she’s going to have more problems with him now then just homework ….. What kind of person takes their sons dog to a kill shelter just because his home work didn’t get done … WOW lady I hope you pay for this stupid mistake you did for the rest of your life and I hope Jewel haunts you in your sleep…. It’s not just your son you hurt, you hurt Jewel too by taking her best friend away from her …..Animals have feelings too they feel pain just like any living thing!!!!!! Dogs are so much smarter then people like you, they love unconditionally and they don’t hurt you untill someone hurts them …… I hope Jewel finds a new boy or girl to call her own its just a shame she lost her boy over homework , she would have been right by his side for years to come not FREAKIN HOMEWORK!!
Does anyone have any updates on this dog???? The owner surrender date is Dec 17th! I am worried that it might be too late!
The Lexus Project has stepped up and rescued Jewel. I think they are looking for a forever home still.
I am completely horrified!!!!
What kind of woman would do this? What kind of mother would do this to their own son? Does she really think that this is even going to be an effective tool for forcing her son to comply? What is wrong with her? What kind of future member of society is she trying to raise? Oh, I know, one like her who has no shred of humanity.
This is a clear example of those people in society that see animals as a possession whose only purpose is for human exploitation.
I feel so sad for this little boy to have a POS for a mother!
PLEASE, PLEASE someone in New York save this little girl. I am too far away and don’t know anyone on that side of the country or I would go pick her up today!
As sad as this is, on so many levels, thank you for sharing it and maybe giving this dog, who’s eyes are full of love and trust, a chance at the home it deserves…
What a horrible woman!! I really hope this dog ended up in a nice new home with caring people to share her life with. I’m sorry for the kid but with a Mom like that, Jewel would never be safe. I think the Mom would use any excuse at anytime to get rid of the Dog.
Karma will get her!!
i hope this lady burns for what she did. that poor animal and that poor poor boy
I think CPS should be doing welfare checks and remove the child from his Mother before she decides to do away with the child!! It is very noticeable that she is not sitting at home helping this child with his HOMEWORK!!! I vote we put the Mother down and save the dog!!!
Here, here! Right back attcha!
About an hour ago a post was made on http://urgentdeathrowdogs.org that said The Lexus Project is going to save Jewel today. There should be an update later today so we can all know when she is safe.
Jewel is safe. She was rescued a short while ago and is now on her way to her foster family’s home. If you want to see pictures of “Ms. Thang” as she happily greets her new friends for saving her, you can go to The Lexus Project facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Lexus-Project/134397299923522
This woman is an idiot. You don’t take a pet to a kill shelter just because your kid is not doing what he/she is suppose to do. IF anything you find a home where the dog will be loved and cared for. Someone ought to put her behind bars with a death sentence hanging over her head!!
Stupid , stupid bit** !! I only hopes as she gets older & is on the hands of that son one day – that he only repays her with the same respect of life that she did his dog . To be that cruel and to have kids is a shame – may The Higher Above remember her on judgement day — he wanted us to live. & respect his children & animals – they are defenseless !!! Unfortunately , as we age , we too become dependent on our love ones & I hope Karma bites that bitch like the fog should of !!!!!!!
Anyone have any info on the mother ? I’m offering $50 no questions asked for a first and last name.
Remember… she may be a mother – BUT EVEN COCKROACHES REPRODUCE. I hope the bitch is reading these comments. I am with Anonymous – get me an address – we can sort her out and console the little boy
Sorry but this woman needs to be euthanized. I am so glad I don’t know her personally I would be in jail right now. She is a fricking LOSER and has no right to even have custody of her son.
Why do stupid people breed? Take that however you like.
Do I point out the obvious? Nevermind what the kid is or isn’t learning in his school work, what is he learning at home? He’s learning the typical american throw-away culture. He’s learning that living beings are completely disposable. Shame.
I’m thinking the woman is showing her son it’s ok to surrender his mom to a facility when old age comes.
That female (not mother) has the brains of a fence post. In twenty or thirty years (maybe sooner) her kid is going to put her in the cheapest home he can find and sell everything she has that he can get his hands on.
Or maybe he’ll cut out the middle man and turn into a serial killer.
I feel for that poor boy, she is showing signs of very disturbing behaviour… I am so happy this little dog got away from such a family, who knows what she could have been capable of. I will pray you little cutie that you find a forever loving home. Shame on her….
I can’t believe we have such stupid heartless people in this world. WTF. may she rot in he’ll for this!!!!!!
