Poll: Mother punishes adopted child by forcing him to drink hot sauce

If 'torturing' prisoners for information with truth serum, or warping their perception of reality with psychotropic drugs, cosplay and props is evil, then how is punishing a child with a painful chemical any less so?
Some twits may argue that the chemical did no real lasting damage to the child, but just as with chemical interrogation/torture, it is not the physical damage we need to be concerned over, but the mental damage the incident leaves behind, which will never truly heal.

The hell is wrong with that woman? She needs a trip to prison ASAP. There is punishing a child......then there is that. Kids do have rights. I'd take away her daughter, too.LegendaryGamer0 said:
something seems a little off to me too. like a fake dragon created so the townspeople will pay knight to slay it. I suspect Dr Phil is creating business for himself.jackpipsam said:
if its not fake, then I'm between the first and second pole options. The first is too extreme, the second is to mild imo
Yup that is abuse. His little lie is no where justified for such an act. What ever happen to just send him to the corner or minor punishment like that?
Washing a mouth out with soap isn't really painful, it just tastes horrible and there's not much chance of the kid getting hypothermia from tasting soap. Edit: Wait, why did the mother have this filmed? is it because she wants to get attention from it, is it because she gets pleasure out of it and wants a video of it so she can relive it again for some sick pleasure or something else?Chibz said:
No, I'm perfectly calm. I assume he's agreeing but when you've been to the places that I have, the line gets blurry.Wardnath said:He's probably agreeing with you, mate. Calm down.LegendaryGamer0 said:
OT: She is a horrible mother.

How isn't it? It's not painful, it's not really a form of torture. It's a mild inconvenience at best. Two swigs of water, taste is gone. In fact, this is probably SAFER than the "wash mouth out with soap" punishment. For the love of Rah, people, it's just Tobasco sauce!Verlander said:
To summarize almost everyone else in this thread: "How DARE she punish her kid in a mildly physically painful way! People like that need to be rounded up and drowned in ammonia!" Kinda sick.
I guess it makes it worse with the whole evil step mom stereotype. What I don't understand is why did it say "Mormon mom caught abusing child" why would her religious choices matter, unless of course they were some crazy cult which I doubt Mormonism is.NLS said:
I don't understand why she did something so severe over something so small. Sure the kid got in trouble but who hasn't gotten into some form of trouble at school now-a-days. I know a lot of Escapists have said that physical punishment is never the best answer, although I'm not sure, when I got smacked it made me step the hell in line and listen, but this is way too far. Imagine when the kid is like 16 and gets caught speeding a car, what is she going to do, put meat and cheese between his hands and burn them in a waffle iron for 10 minutes?
In conclusion, give the woman psychological help and a temporary suspension of her children for 6 months. Within those months if she has shown she is truly sorry and that she has learned her lesson than give her the children back, if not, than prolong her psychological help until she has been deemed fit to be a parent, of course at this stage she will never get her children back and will be forced to adopt new ones or conjure them up herself.
Hypothermia? Are you crazy? Again, it's just tobasco sauce. If my mom punished ME like that I'd get into trouble more often! Actually, I think this is a horrible & cruel punishment. And we don't lie in this house (With smiles on face)[footnote]One sec, punishing myself. Don't hold up.[/footnote]FeralCentaur said:
By that admission, waterboarding isn't torture. The act is physically, and psychologically intimidating. While it may not be as bad as being whipped, it's still a non constructive form of punishment. I never had any of that, and I'm not running round in a gang, swearing like a sailor or anything. In fact, I don't know any body who did, and you know what? We're all great people.Chibz said:
And tobasco may not be hot for you, but different people have different thresholds, especially young children. Tobasco to this child could be like habanero or worse sauce in your mouth for a few minutes, which is pretty unpleasant for a child. This is physically and psychologically harming, both are. I'm not saying don't punish your kids, I'm saying theres a better, more effective way than physically hurting them.
Well I don't know anyone who said that on here, but I don't think that. It would nullify my ow point. She shouldn't be allowed to foster children though
Uh... hot sauce? Really? This is a bizarre way to punish a child, but is it really that cruel? Having never tasted hot sauces before, since I'm not a fan of spicy food, I still find it hard to believe that they can actually do anything worse than leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth. They are supposed to be edible, and put on food to improve it, right? If she'd made him drink something like liquid soap, then this'd be totally unacceptable, but whats so bad about a condiment? It sounds like something I'd do as a drunken bet more than anything. (drink the sauce, that is, not feed it to a child)

I had worse as a kid with my real folks. At least the kid knew what the Hell he did wrong. She made a point of reminding the child why he was in trouble...which is what is necessary to keep the child from losing faith in his parents. While I don't condone that behavior and I don't think she was in the right to punish him quite SO long and quite SO much...I don't think the child should be removed from the home.
Consistent, clear parenting is more important to children than, say, being carted from country to country. I think moving him BACK to wherever he came from would do far more to upend and disturb his world than him staying with her. And I don't think she'll do it quite like that again. She doesn't seem to feel justified in her actions when confronted with everyone's reactions.
