Maybe if you taught your kid right from wrong and didn't sit on your computer all day you wouldn't have this problem.

Personally, I find eight (8) years old disturbingly old for this behavior, disturbing as the act is in itself. In your place, my concern would reach far and wide beyond posting to FML about this hamster-killing son of yours. On a more serious note, good luck; you might be in for drama.

What a horrible way to die.... Poor little guy

How many hamsters does it take to paint a fence? Depends on how hard you throw them.

What a disgusting and horrible mode of death. Reminds me of poor Tiger Lily the kitten who had the same fate. I agree with the ones who say he will grow up to be a psychopath. Get him to a psychiatrist immediately!

Insert hamster aaaaannnd, NEW MICROWAVE OVEN! Taa daaa!

First off kids do some stupid things. They don't understand what the outcome will be, and every single person has done something so dumb wether they remember it or not. Definitely an opportunity to teach. And as awful a death as this was at least it didn't live days or weeks with out water and food which sadly happens all the time. No the kid isn't going to likely grow up to be a serial killer those type spend most of their childhood repeatedly torturing and killing animals. And they learn to hide their activities. It is more probable the boy is quite upset about the result of his actions and you all who are so quick to judge this parent likely have nvr had a child in your care full time for long periods. We parents are ppl we get busy and tired and how do you prepare and prevent this type of situation. You are in the pet store saying " you have to take of this critter, which means cleaning its cage weekly and feeding and watering EVERY DAY. Oh and do not put it In the microwave" sheesh ppl get real be honest and not sooo mean.

Poor hamster

I said 'meet me in Amsterdam.' Not 'make me some Hamsterjam!'

Lack of parental supervision for your mini serial killer in the making??
