Hot Sauce in a child's mouth as discipline?

In our school the parent can request the administration "spank" they are not allowed to do it otherwise.

I agree with you, Im not a spanker either, but a TAP on the bum, i would not consider child abuse.

hmmm...this seems like an interesting discussion. I haven't seen this clip, so I don't really feel that I can speak educatedly about weither or not this particular mother was abusive. I do have to say that I also beleive that parents from different states/areas of the county parent differently. I was born and raised in Louisiana (gasp) but now live in California. I was raised to be a much more respectful child than my son, at 29 years old I still say "yes m'am" to my mother, I'm lucky if I can get yes instead of yay from my son, and I was absolutely horrified to learn that he has tried to call his teacher by her first name.
