Unbelievable.

This video just rocks me to the core. Maybe some would question if this is child abuse. Maybe its mild compared to some. But it brought me to tears. Am I wrong to be bothered by this? What would make someone think of this? I can't even stand hot sauce on the tip of my tongue but forcing a child to hold it in their mouth? And stay in a freezing cold shower. You can hear the screams. It seems harsh. This little boy is the 6th child in a family and is adopted from Russia. This little boy seems terrorized by this and that breaks my heart. Am I over reacting to think that this is wrong for any mother to discipline this way? How can this boy trust his mom or feel loved or safe if this is what happens for discipline? I don't know. There is discipline and I'm not sure where the line is but this was done in anger and to me this crosses it. I know I have responded in anger. A time when I flicked River's cheek too hard after he bit my arm. It was a fast and harsh response. I know we make mistakes. I know I will yell and regret my actions But this was deliberate, re-occurring, and premeditated. She keeps the hot sauce in the medicine cabinet. A nice upsetting afternoon video
