The idea of punishment is not to be nice. The child lied and the mother is correcting the child. In my house the only offence that guarantees a smack is lying. After a few smacks my kids dont lie to me anymore
Hell the kid isnt being sold in to prostitution or stoned. I have children that boys age who eat chilli sauce as a daily occurrence, cos they like it, and believe it or not millions of people only have access to cold showers.
Slight over reaction.
I have seen on this website a Judge mistreat a daughter, the comparison here is not the same.
When I was a kid (and I had non Christian parents) if I done something wrong and told the truth I got beaten. That taught me to lie.
If I didnt do anything wrong and I told the truth, I was suspected of lying and got beaten. I dont mean a cold shower and a chilli shooter, I got beaten.
What a silly over reaction about disciplining a child. I guarantee some atheists and agnostics do far worse to their kids than this woman has done here.
The video is a small glimpse in to this woman's parental role, to judge it on that one action is absurd.
"Dont vote for a mormon, they are freemason occultists goatriders" would be a far better thread title
