Getting back to the original topic at hand. I've said from the beginning that my dad was a complete hardcase, they believed in me towing the lines and the consequences for breaking that line were very clearly defined and understood. My parents had two forms of punishment. there was the physical (spankings, the belt was rarely used but it was the nuclear weapon) and groundings. There were no mild discussions, it was not a democracy, but at or during the punishment, the reasoning was discussed and understood.

the problem with this womans punishment is its akin to torture, its lingering and painful punishment. Making a kid sit there with hot sauce in his mouth while the mother screams at him is sadistic, and its almost like mom is getting satisfaction out of it. Throwing the kid in a freezing shower and making him scream for minutes on end is torture, and the fact that they were recording it is really f'd up.

This woman is a sadist, nothing more, she seems to love displaying her power over this kid.

At least with my old man, the punishment was over quickly, you understood it, and you didn't have to spend an eternity praying that it was going to end.
