I just saw this on "Parenting"...what do you think? I was disgusted, but it seems that some polled thought it was effective:

Re: OPINION - "Hot Saucing"?!?!? Video Link
I just posted a different link to that to someone on FB for threatening to do that to her child.
It's disgusting. I don't believe in inflicting harm on children to get them to behave.

This woman is on a POWER TRIP and has SERIOUS anger issues. As a result of watching that, so do I. I'd like to pour hot sauce in her EYES and then throw her straight into the icy ocean. How's that for punishment?
My heart's pounding!

Oh, it made me SO angry....
I found it hard to believe that people think it's okay!! I was just curious what you ladies thought or if you knew anyone who actually does this (since there is apparently an actual parenting book that condones this!)..
I havent'/ am not watching that - The story itself was disturbing enough!
Yes, my mom washed my mouth out with soap (as one story commenter discussed) (eta: calmly and without trauma/ drama, it was more annoying than anything) -- but hot sauce??!!! And what was with the cold shower? I gather that the offense was lying, so how was the shower in any way related? Oh, and fwiw - the soap thing was completely ineffective as a future deterrent, for me at least

"All for Love,' a Saviour prayed 'Abba Father have Your way. Though they know not what they do...Let the Cross draw men to You...."
I watched it and it made me cry. I want to stick that bitches head in a bowl of hot sauce and then in a scalding hot shower.
How on earth does that punishment fit the problem??? He got in trouble at school (presumably hours earlier) for fighting and something else that he can't remember and so the answer is hot sauce? That makes NO SENSE! Obviously he's going to lie about getting in trouble you stupid hoe bag because he knows if he tells you the truth instead of working throught the issue you make him eat hot sauce and take a cold shower!!!!
IMO it is awful and abusive parenting.

Children are meant to be disciplined, of course, but they are still children and they still do things wrong. It seems like she thinks her actions will make him perfect, which he will never be. He will never live up to her expectations.
This poor boy, I am so sad for him (and the sister who is filming it!) there are SO MANY better ways to discipline a child and all of them should be done with love. Parents should NEVER discipline in anger. If you aren't in control, you should have your child sit in their room until you are. No matter how long it takes. You should always be in calm control when disciplining.
Cal likes some spice too, but this woman literally poured hot sauce into his mouth and made him hold it in there for several minutes. And who knows what level of spiciness that particular hot sauce was. Makes me cringe to think about.

I think Natalie Merchant says it well:
"I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses, he's your kid, do as you see fit,
but get this through that I don't approve of what you did to you own flesh and blood.
.....
I'm the only witness to your madness offer me some words to balance out what I see and what I hear.
All these cold and rude things that you do I suppose you do because he belongs to you "
Ugh...cruel. And so ridiculous.
Guiding and teaching, encouraging and (re)directing are all parts of discipline IMO.
But my question is WHY did she submit it to Dr. Phil? What was she hoping to gain?!
Will not watch. But based on comments it sounds sadistic, sociopathic and sick. And she can go eff herself. Just because you CAN do something to someone who is not as strong as you and is in reality totally dependent on you doesn't mean you SHOULD. Sick biiitch. Sorry. Child abuse hurts me, and makes me very angry.

My kids love hot spicy food! Infact Preston can handle more things I can.
This woman is INSANE, why would you do that to your child? THat is just wrong!
