[quote=MSN news] In a case that has drawn international attention, jurors on Wednesday watched video showing an Alaskan mother squirting hot sauce in the mouth of her adopted son.Her attorney said it was punishment for misbehaving at school and lying about it to his mother.
The video was originally aired on a Dr. Phil episode and caused a public uproar in Russia where the boy is from.
The footage, along with audio of the boy screaming as he's forced to stand in a cold shower, was shown as part of Jessica Beagley's trial Wednesday on misdemeanour child abuse charges.
Prosecutors say Beagley went beyond what would be considered reasonable parental discipline. Her lawyer, William Ingaldson, said she resorted to unconventional disciplinary methods because more traditional forms of punishment had not worked with the boy.
Beagley, along with her police officer husband, adopted the boy and his twin brother from a Russian orphanage after their parents abandoned them, Ingaldson said. The boys were taken there after Russian investigators found their family living in a shack, where the boys slept on shelves in an armoire, he said.
The couple "thought this was their chance to make a difference in kids' lives," the lawyer said. The couple also has four biological children.
Anchorage police were notified about the case after "Dr. Phil" viewers saw the footage, which was submitted as a nine-minute video for a November episode titled "Mommy Confessions." "Dr. Phil" is a talk show on self-improvement.
The video, made in October 2010, shows Beagley asking the boy what happens when he lies.
"I get hot sauce," the crying boy replies.
The video shows Beagley putting the hot sauce in the boy's mouth and telling him not to spit it out. When he admits to lying, she allows him to spit out the hot sauce.
She then explains to the child that he is going to get in a cold shower for lying about misbehaviour at school: wriggling in his seat and sword-fighting with pencils.
The video did not show the child in the shower, but the boy's screams can be heard.
"Listen to your teacher," she says. "You are to do what you are told."[/quote]

DEATH PENALTY
Bet that kid wont ever like spicy food.
But he probably wont misbehave again.
At 1:25 I was really hoping he would've spit the hotsauce right in her face.
I saw this and thought "Ive had worse shit than hot sauce" then I saw the shower bit.
What the fuck, how can you treat a child like that?
The reason behind this is bullshit as well, wriggling in his chair and sword fighting with pencils? How do you wriggle in your chair to the point it disrupts learning?
When he first said fighting I thought he ment he had a fight at school, not him just dicking about with pencils. The things kids get in trouble for these days, I remember one kid almost killed me by tightening my tie then pulling it so I couldnt undo it and all he had to do was right 50 lines on why he should touch other peoples things.

There are better ways to deal with it than abusing him
he pulled 3 cards, he deserved that shit
[QUOTE=3com111;31811475]But he probably wont misbehave again.[/QUOTE]
This is abuse, plain and simple.

1 card is hot sauce, 2 cards is no food for three days, 3 cards is tied to the water heater for a month
parent of the year
Oh boo hoo. A cold shower and eating hot sauce?
A much better punishment than getting smacked with a belt or a cane. And that was encouraged in schools for years.

No, I'm dead serious.
I would slap a bitch so hard that her fat cheeks would still be flapping an hour later. What a fucking whore. She shouldn't be allowed in the same zip code as that poor kid.
[QUOTE=3com111;31811475]

Clearly however her methods dont work because hes had it done before otherwise he wouldn't recognise the hot sauce as a punishment when she asks what happens when he gets in trouble.

You're either a crotchety old man, or just a sick person.

I'm actually going to agree with him. Unless the parent was using the hottest of the hot sauces, then I'd definitely rather take cold showers and eat hot sauce as opposed to being beaten. (Not agreeing with the beating during school part, though. That's a bit out of date, I'd think)
And beatings happen so fucking often yet you rarely hear about those, the only reason this is getting coverage is because it's unique.

I would take a dislocated wrist over a broken arm, just because one thing is not as bad as the other, doesn't make it any less bad.
Really? You guys are flipping shit over a woman making a kid eat hot sauce? You must be fucking kidding.
I got that same punishment, except my parents knew I fucking loved hot sauce.
This isn't out of bounds for a parent to do.
These guys probably grew up in a home with time outs.
So anything above that is a major taboo.
Why are people so quick to jump on the abuse card?
My mum used to make me gargle soap if i swore at home, and lo and behold i pretty much never swear at home and if i do i feel really guilty. I wouldn't consider that child abuse because i was not harmed but i was tought a lesson.
eh okay i just watched the shower bit and that seems a bit harsh

Because time-outs and talking to your children is the appropriate way to parent.

What lesson did that teach you? Not to use words for essentially no reason?

Just because it isn't as bad as something worse, doesn't make it good.
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31811928]Because time-outs and talking to your children is the appropriate way to parent.[/QUOTE] Sometimes a little shit will not listen.
So you spank them and ground them. Thats how I grew up, theres a difference between spanking and beating your child.
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31811928]Because time-outs and talking to your children is the appropriate way to parent.[/QUOTE]
Yeah but who gives a shit about both? I used to love getting time-outs and being shouted at because it meant i could just switch off and not listen to a word they were saying. if my mum got the slipper out though thats when i knew that i fucked up

Same. Worked. Learned that those words were bad and not to be used at home. If you tried to teach a kid anything more, it would be too complex and they wouldn't understand. The thing about kids is that they aren't very smart, so they can't comprehend good and bad.
Man, if I got punished with hot sauce today, I'd be like the best punishment ever...
But still this is pretty bad parenting.
Damn I just got to the shower part... Yikes
While I don't agree with what she did, I'll take the opportunity to say this: Dr Phil is a moralizing asshat.
[QUOTE=Hazard Fox;31811867]Really? You guys are flipping shit over a woman making a kid eat hot sauce? You must be fucking kidding.

uh she made him swish hot sauce in his mouth and then take a cold shower
you either can't read or are a terrible person
sure, it's harsh, but this isn't the kind of thing that needs to be taken to court
