to say first I'm NOT saying she was right, but that is an interesting way to punish a kid without spanking them since THAT'S CHILD ABUSE! adults need to me more creative. Just not HER kind of creative the *****.
So... if the rules of my house were... if you say, betray my trust, you get locked in the cold, pitch black basement for a day with starving rats... would that also count as "My House, My Rules"?Jaranja said:
I must say, I see very... odd, flaws in your logic.
The poll is ridiculous. There should be a "that was wrong, but with therapy I am sure the mother could turn around her abusive behavior" option.Huddo said:
You do know that if this kid gets taken away from his mother and put in a foster home he will get a lot worse than hot sauce and a cold shower, right?
What the mother did was horrible, but having her lose her child is way too harsh.
Please add a poll option closer to the midway of the spectrum.
I think there's a difference between disciplining your child in a reasonable manner for bad behaviour and just using the trouble they have caused as an excuse to abuse them so that you can relieve some of that pent-up stress from work, but I guess I'm just a pinko crying-heart liberal for not deifying all parents and allowing them free reins to treat raise their property children however they like.
If you finished the video, he said that it was her daughter that filmed it.jackpipsam said:
OT: I think that that's pretty bad...I think if they can set her straight though, and keep an eye on her in the future, she should be allowed the keep her adopted child. Maybe she just didn't know how out of hand she was really taking things, second chances, blah blah blah.
Most of it seems to be coming from the older generation who are saying that kids should get the belt again like their daddies did. The ones that had to walk up hill both ways to AND from school.Haakong said:
This threads needs a good front page updating. Child Services visited and they find nothing wrong with. I guess the boy is one of twins, from the way I read the article, and he seems to be the problem child. Supposedly when she puts him in the cold shower, she's at the end of her rope. And she has either six children with this kid, or six children not including him.
She's treating that child like a Drill Sergeant treats a private.
I don't care if that child is a constant misbehaver or had ADD or anything... this is not something a child should ever be subjected to.
This is certainly not the appropriate way to discipline a young child.
OP: Include an "Other Opinion" option in the poll.

How is it wrong that I don't see anything wrong with the situation given the information I was presented. The Child did wrong and the mother applied corporal punishment. While opinions on the value of such punishment vary wildly, it has served as an option since people decided to write things down for posterity. Given I have no evidence that this child has suffered permanent physical harm, I am utterly unwilling to offer condemnation. While some might cite "psychological damage", I would simply point out that such a change is the desired result in any training scenario.Wabblefish said:
The kid lied, and I bet he will think twice the next time he wants to run his mouth. As a parent you cannot be afraid to punish your child, and you should never, ever make a threat if you can't back it up. This woman backed it up.
Man I wish that kid thought like me when I say here face to face with the kid I was like SPIT IT IN HER EYES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO IT. Butt still take the child from her custody thats idiotic. Worst part is she isn't even his mother and the whole time was saying "when you live in my house", almost like a threat that if he dosen't like her boots he'll get sent back to his actual family who ( i can't tell from the video) might be living in poverty,
