Punishing your children......

Watch this:


I am interested to hear people's views on this video and issue, some people may have strong feelings against this (it's expected), but regardless it is important to hear both sides of this topic

Do you think disciplining your child is the right thing to do? Or do you think this is too excessive?

I find it interesting how one person's idea of disciplining your child can be completely opposite to some one else's.

Personally, I find this hard to watch, I believe in punishing my children...but not like this, I would probably give them the odd smack once or twice...but this women takes it to a whole new level.

Furthermore, the women seems to have adopted this child...which makes this much more worse...

That poor, poor child. She is a complete bitch, I cannot understand how she was allowed to adopt him in the first place. She is manipulative and cruel, the poor child is obviously petrified.

That poor boy will grow to hate her, she's creating so many problems in the long term too. If that was a child in my care, I have to say that I would have to do something about it, I couldnt just sit by and let her do that to him.

This is absolute BS I'm sorry. Everyone saying that this is torture..curel..etc. This is punishment it wouldn't be punishment if it was nice would it. I've had far worse punishments than this and if you'd seen a video of it you'd probably cry. Do I hate the people/parents that did that to me? NO. Because what I did was wrong and consequentially I did do it again.

You must also understand this probably doesn't happen everytime, maybe once a few months depending on how bad the kid is. Does any really think punishing a child by sending him to his room is actually going to teach him that their are severe consequences for things such as lying.

Every parent has their own form of punishment some (like this) are probably very effective some (like sending your child to the room) probably arn't. I'd imagine some even more hippie parents crying if you even shouted to a child.

I've always been a firm believer that if you have to resort to physical violence to discipline your child, then you've already failed as a parent. I was never hit as a child and I turned out fine (ask my parole officer).

I didnt even mention sending him to his room, so I dont know why you are quoting me as saying that. I do agree with disciplining a child, but this is too extreme. Pouring hot sauce into a child's mouth? Cold shower?! Thats nothing but cruelty!! Do you really think a young child lying deserves this punishment? Sorry but if you think they deserve that level of punishment, you are seriously deluded!!

Also how do we know this doesnt happen all the time?? From the video, it seems to be a regular occurence!!

Yes, children need to learn right and wrong, but there are better ways of going about it.

I haven't watched it, but judging by the comments, I disagree with this type of punishment!
