What the hell?? Lock the nutter of a mother up and throw away the key, Doc Phil must run an insane asylum show to want this crap on TV. He should be locked up as well for encouraging this stupidity.
There is something wrong with America. This is not about disciplining her child, its just all about her.
She is USING her child as a STAGE PROP in a play where she is the movie star
Its blatant child abuse, I got it wrong with my first reply.edit on 8-2-2012 by borntowatch because: (no reason given)
As far as this being "child abuse," I call nonsense. The kid was in no way permanetly harmed

You obviously have a thing against religious people
The fact this woman is lds is beside the point, as is you placing "primary president" in your title

Whoa, the evil woman was convicted for child abuse !!
Permanent harm ??
So it's ok to physically or mentally harm little people but not permanent ?
Let me get this straight when a person is small, lacking the mental maturity and wherewithal of a bigger person maturity, it is quite ok to use violence or threats of violence in order to make the smaller person comply with the wishes of the bigger person ?
Obviously we should apply the same reasoning to the child's mother should we not ?
When dad comes home he discovers that his dinner is not on the table and the child is screaming blue murder and not tucked up in bed.
Mum is obviously less mature of mind than dad as he is the head of the household, so quite rightly dad gives mum a good slap around the face for non compliance .
The little boy grows up and gets his own wife in and he has learned over the years that in order to make another person comply with his wishes he only has to reason that the other person is in some way inferior to him.
Needless to say that when his wife fails to comply with rules it is quite acceptable for him to fill her mouth with something that will burn her then give her a cold shower.

The fact that the woman is a so called "latter day saint" is very much the point, on one hand her bible tells her that it is outrageous to hurt kids yet on the other, naughty boys should be put to death.

The facts of the case are that she was trying to get on the Dr. Phil show. Her first attempt, when she just yelled at the kid, failed, so the show suggested she should up the ante. So she had her daughter film the second attempt to get on the show, which you see here. Dr. Phil's producers asked for the film to see if she could "make the cut."
She was convicted of mis-demeanor child abuse BECAUSE SHE FILMED IT. In other words, this wasn't about discipline; it was about publicity. And as far as that goes, the Dr. Phil show used questionable methods and I would fault the show more than the Mom in this case.
As far as this being "child abuse," I call nonsense. The kid was in no way permanetly harmed. He was inconvenienced for a few minutes. Dry him off and he will be fine, but I bet he thinks twice before lying again. If more parents practiced sterner disciplne, maybe we wouldn't have the crop of entitlement kids we do today who freak out every time someone looks cross-eyed at them and want everything just because they do. I personally wouldn't use the hot sauce trick, but a cold shower like that seems just fine to me. The western world has become wussified to the point of being ridiculous.edit on 2/8/2012 by schuyler because: (no reason given)
