SAN ANTONIO -- Disturbing video was aired Tuesday showing a cat being knocked around by someone. All we see of the abuser are his hands. That video has put one area boy's family under investigation. Mickey Gallegos's mother is furious about her child's name being splattered all over Facebook. Some say he is the kid in that video, shown beating the cat. Mickey Gallegos denies that claim. "It looks nothing like me," says Mickey. The teen's mother, Linda Gallegos says, "This has gotten way out of hand. My son's innocent. You're accusing a 13-year-old boy who loves animals. We all love animals. We just want it to stop. Please." Linda Gallegos believes someone hacked into her son's Facebook page and posted the videos. Since then, the Gallegos' home fence has been hit by a car. People have been calling from around the world with threatening messages, and, as a prank, someone even ordered dozens of pizzas to the Gallegos' home, leaving them with the bill.
