The good old days...my mom and THE BELT. No such thing as 'time out' when I was a kid.

My mom's wooden spoon did it for me.
Spare the rod, spoil the child.

My friend's mom made him drink tabasco sauce.

yeah, but tabasco sauce tastes GOOD, and it's meant to be ingested.

Soap, on the other hand, is not meant to be ingested and may contain substances that are potentially toxic if consumed.

Half a bottle does not taste good. I see your point with the toxins though. Still, come on. I may be mistaken, but didn't they do that to Ralphie in "A Christmas Story"?

Big difference: "A Christmas Story" is a movie.

I dunno, half a bottle of tabasco tastes pretty good to me. With tacos, maybe....

The fact that the parents took the kid to the hospital after she threw up makes me think they were feeling pretty guilty about putting soap in her mouth - if they were feeling guilty, then they KNEW it was something they shouldn't have done.

Anyway, parents do worse shit than this to kids all the time. I saw a man in the grocery store one punch his kid (who was probably 4 or 5) right in the head, call the kid a "stupid retard", and then told the kid to "stop whining" when he started crying.

It took everything in my power not to go grab that little boy and take him out of the store with me.

You should see how some of the southern black women treat their kids in the grocery store. (Is it the same everywhere else?)

Slapping, yelling, you name it. They act like they are at home. If they do that in public I feel sorry for what those children must endure at home.

And vomiting? What type of toxic soap do these people keep in their homes? I've known plenty of people who had to stand with soap in their mouths for up to 5-10 minutes. FYI to all you future parents, only use organic soap, probably tastes nastier anyway.

why do we put our kids in these shells. no more keeping score at games don't want any losers. don't whip your kids it will screw them up for life. i remember pain being a very good teacher. if something hurt ethier i didn't do it again or i became real good at it. if i lost a football game or something it made me try harder so i could win the next one. we are the reason our kids are so wussified.

We can just let the Gubbermint take care of it all, the children belong to them anyway.

Man, that is one pathetic police force if they actually had the time to persue a kids mouth washed out with soap complaint. LOL Total waste of tax payer money and they should never have persued it beyond the initial check of the childrens safety.
