The security camera captured the moment the child invaded the place
A 9 year old boy was responsible for the death of 23 animals last Sunday (13th), after raiding a small farm belonging to a veterinary hospital in Nova Fátima, in the north of Paraná. THE Civil Police informed the Metrópoles portal that there will be no criminal implications for the child due to his age.
The images from the site’s security cameras recorded the moment in which the boy invaded the site, threw, dismembered and mutilated the animals.
Around 15 rabbits were found dead, while other animals were left free.
What can legally happen to the boy?
After the fallout from the case, many people on the Internet were outraged and called for the boy to be hospitalized. However, minors under 18 are considered non-indictable, meaning they cannot be criminally convicted of crimes.
From the age of 12, according to the Statute of Childhood and Adolescence (ECA), the adolescent can undergo socio-educational measures if he commits an infraction, which is not defined as a crime, but a similar action. At 9 years old this isn’t even possible.
According to criminal lawyer Oberdan Costa, in an interview with Metrópoles, “the rule applicable to a 9-year-old child who commits acts considered criminal for adults is different from the rule that a teenager will receive.”

Instead of applying traditional sanctions, the ECA establishes a series of measures aimed at resocialising the minor, appropriate to his age group and the seriousness of the infringement. “They consist of referral to parents or guardians, through a mandate of responsibility, in compulsory enrollment and attendance at an official primary education institution, in the request for medical, psychological or psychiatric care, in hospital or outpatient treatment and similar,” explains Costa .
Whoever has responsibility for the minor can be held responsible for repairing the damage caused by the minor, “even if he is not directly at fault”.
Or chance
A 9-year-old boy broke into a small farm inside a veterinary hospital and killed 23 animals. He had participated in the inauguration of the place, the day before the crime, on the occasion of Children’s Day (12). According to the Military Police, veterinarian Lúcio Barreto, owner of the hospital, called the team after finding more than 15 dead rabbits and other loose animals.
Checking the images from the security cameras, the owners were surprised to see that a child, accompanied by a dog, had entered the place and massacred the animals, in an action that lasted 40 minutes.
Some animals were thrown against the wall, had their legs torn off and were dismembered.
Veterinarian Brenda Rocha Almeida Cianciosa, one of the owners of the farm, appeared on social media together with the space’s partner, veterinarian Lúcio Barreto, to thank the community for its support in the case. According to them, citizens helped identify the boy.
