Sorry to hear that, kids don't seem to learn any sense now, so many treat pets like toys just cos they're not taught any difference or respect.

When I moved I used to have someone look after my dog (small jack russel), I turned up one day and her son, who was about 6 or 7 had hold of her by the collar and had lifted her off the floor and was spinning her round while the mum was sitting there laughing, I grabbed the dog who was choking and for some reason didn't want to upset the kid by shouting at him so said no you musn't do that and the mum said "oh he's alright, he likes it" while my dog madly caughed her guts up.

The son learnt some new words that day most of them unrepeatable
