Why would anyone give a child, hot sauce? What if they can not tolerate it? As with soap? What if there little bodies can not digest the stuff? Then what? <br />I have heard many a parent say to a child if u say that bad word again I will wash your mouth out with soap! And where do you think that child learned that "bad word"? In the home, most likely from the one of the parents themselves.

I've been a follower of your group of Facebook for some time now and this is the first time I felt you were going overboard. I myself experienced child abuse and am a firm believer that though discipline is needed, there are lines/boundaries that one can cross. There's a difference in being a firm parent and losing your temper with a child. I've never seen any parent hit or spank a child without losing their temper for example. But hot sauce? This along with soap seems a perfectly fine method of discipline, if needed. Since when does having a child eat hot sauce cross the lines into abuse? This is ridiculous. I feel like it's posts like these that help shape parent's views that any discipline is venturing into abuse. And it's this attitude that has so drastically affected our society as those children grow into adults that do not know how to take responsibility for their actions. Hot sauce inflicts as much physical harm and tears as a time out does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
