A Case of Child Abuse.

Within the past few days, a woman appeared in court for misdemeanor child abuse charges. She is alleged to have put hot sauce in her adopted son's tongue for lying at school. This same child was then forced to take a cold shower as punishment for not obeying the teacher. There was video and audio evidence to collaborate these incidents. This is not in the range of acceptable discipline for a child. These incidents are torturous. Moreover, the woman's husband is a police officer. This child and his twin brother were from Russia and were adopted by the family, making this a potentially delicate situation. What would you want to see as a just outcome?

I hope the mother gets punished. She deserves it. Maybe the jury will decide that the mother needs to have hot sauce poured down her throat and also to take a cold shower. Kids do lie sometimes and yes it is wrong, but the punishment does not fit the crime. According to what I also heard was that she wanted to get on a TV show called Dr. Phil and the show title was bad mothers. I heard that this was recorded and it is a hoax. Even if it is a hoax it is still wrong.

This behaviour is probably what the woman had happen to her when a child. I would hope that the woman was given some appropriate sentencing. The children may have to be taken out of the home and be adopted by someone who will nurture and love these two children. Harsh treatment like this could cause those two boys some psychological harm that could prove horrible for all involved.

Yes I saw this video today I think it was awful the little boy is only 7 for goodness sake! obviously the child needs help but not this sort of treatment? and I wonder if the child was her own flesh and blood would she have done the same?

I pity the abused children!!! That was so awful! Abusers of children I think are ego tripper. I mean, they felt power when hurting children. They are just children, full of dreams and yet they have experienced embarrassment or hurt. I don't understand laws what punishment they will get. I will just pray to God for the abused children to be spared and I will pray for the abusers for enlightenment in their hearts and minds too..

I pity the children. They are so little and so helpless and this is what heir parents do. It so bad. That is even too much a punishment for these little mistakes. I hope the children will be taken away from them and that they will find good parents to nurture them. I just can't believe how cruel some people especially to the little ones. It's terrible. Every child deserves good parents.
