NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Five Nashville boys, accused of setting a dog on fire, appeared in court Thursday.

On Tuesday, four of the boys were booked into the juvenile detention center. The youngest boy was sent home, but all appeared in court Thursday.

A juvenile court judge Thursday placed three of the boys under house arrest; one boy was kept in detention and the fifth boy was sent to the custody of the Tennessee Department of Children's Services.

The incident happened Sunday near an abandoned house. The boys are ages 9-14.

Metro Animal Control Officer Lina Hernandez said a witness reported seeing the animal "engulfed in flames."

"I heard a dog screaming," said Arthur Greer. "It sounded like someone beating a dog." Greer was in his backyard when he saw what looked like a ball of fire coming down the street.

"He had flames from head to toe and he was running so fast he was burning," Greer said. "He tried to lick himself when he was burning and his face caught on fire."

Someone lit a dog on fire and five boys were accused of doing it.

"They used gasoline from a neighbor's lawn mower or something and poured it on him," said Billy Biggs, Metro Animal Control field operations Officer Billy Biggs. "They were holding him by the collar and somebody struck the lighter."

Biggs is investigating the case.

"We charged all of them with aggravated animal cruelty, which is, in the state of Tennessee, a felony," Biggs said.

Witnesses said when they saw the dog, they went after it, trying to help it, but they never found it.

"It broke my heart and scared me to death see something like that," Greer said. Greer said he went after the boys and turned them in.

"I said, %u2018Did you set the dog on fire?' and they said, %u2018no,'" Greer said. "So, I took them to the other kid's house and we got all the children from there."

One of the boys' mothers said that her son admitted to the crime.

"My son had the gas," she said. "He said he poured the gas on side of the dog and the other boy lit the match." She said the boys are very sorry.

"They are kids that normally don't set anything or anybody on fire," she said.

Lesson would have been learned quick //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Little A-holes, if my boys ever did that I would push for them to be charged as well, glad they are not that stupid and cruel so i do not have to worry about it.

I saw that on the news.

When I was that age, I was too busy spitting on cars going under the overpass.

But thats pretty serious. I do hope they get a decent punishment for it.

that is ****in gross. 9-14 year olds have the common knowledge that fire is bad, and you dont set people or things with a heartbeat on fire. the excuse of not knowing or being kids that normally dont set things on fire does not work. ****in little pieces of shit. hope they all die. yes ive done bad in my day, but not like that.

We used to drop watermelons and pumpkins on cars going under the overpass. I really regret those things and am very glad I never hit anyone or killed anyone. I don't know why people around here do those things.

That is why I can't be like "those kids should be beat to death" because I was doing similar things (I never caught an animal on fire, but I did agitate dogs on chains). Not all these kids grow up to be bad people. Some do, but not all. It took a long time but I grew up.

Hopefully, these kids will get that opportunity as well.

Lots of interesting studies on youths that torture animals. Doesn't matter how these guys are tried, the mental damage is done, they won't do well in society....and the rest of their lives will ****.

What did they do? I am sure they didn't tell their kids to go out and set fire to an animal. I am sure they thought they were out playing or something.

Should the parents face penalities, yes, but only because they are legally responsible. However, it is silly to think a parent is inherently omnipotent.
