How Far is Too Far???



Describe your reaction to this video. Do you think this mom should seek other disciplinary actions for her children? Should Child Protective Services be contacted? Why or why not? Should the mother suffer any repercussions for her actions? If so, what? Have you ever had your mouth washed out with soap?

I think that the mom was way too strict. She shouldn't discipline her children like that. I think Protected Services should definitely be contacted because this woman pretty much abuses her child. I think Child Services should just keep an eye on her, and if she continues to do the same thing they should take the kid away. I've had my mouth washed out with soap only a few times for cussing when I was a little kid.

This video brings back my old childhood memories. I don’t think this is that bad of a punishment for a child; I have had a lot worse as a child. When my brothers and I said something that we shouldn’t have said as a kid we would have to drink a bottle of hot sauce. Being the youngest of three boys I cannot think of a time I have really had a good hot shower. All my showers as a child were cold showers, being forced to have the last. However, after all my punishments as a child, I know that the rod should never be spared. The use of the rod and not spoiling the child made me who I am today

I was whipped for doing anything my grandfather disagreed with, so this isn't that shocking to me. As a matter of fact my grandfather once beat me for falling into a heater and burning myself. What this mother did is nothing to me. Regardless of my past I still don't think that social services should be called. The child may seem innocent, but that's only in front of the camera. The only way you have any right to judge this mother's parenting skills is if you care for the child for a few months. I think people are overly sensitive in America. If you don't punish kids that purposely disobey then they are going to continue doing it. And yes I have had my mouth washed with soap, but that was heaven compared to everything else.

I was very shocked at this video.I would never to that to my child. I think this mother should try something else because that is horrible. Child Protective Service should be called because a child shouldn't have to go through that or be treated that way. I think that the mother should talk to the son or something.I think that the mother should suffer for what she did. They could do the same to her what she did to her son or something. I have never had my mouth washed out with soap or anyhting else.

My action toward the video is a disgrace. I say that because no matter how much trouble a child get in, your parent or guardian should never harm you like that. I definitely think she should have seeked other disciplinary actions towards the child. Should Child Protective services be contacted, I would strongly have to agree. I don’t think she should be punished, but she seriously needs someone to talk to her about her actions. I never washed my mouth out with soap, and don’t plan on it.

My reaction to the video is that the mother is very stupid. Yes, i think the mother should seek other disciplinary actions for her children. I also think that Child Protected Service should be contacted. I say that because if her nerves get really plucked she could do something a little worse. Yes, She sould suffer repercussions for her action. I think that she should get her kids takin for a while, have counciling, and lose adaption rights. No I have not had my mouth washed out with soap.

This video we watched was cruel and harsh. Parent’s need to understand that children will be children, they are learning right from wrong. If the mother feels like she can’t do anything to help discipline her son then she needs to seek help because they she’s doing it she can hurt her son emotionally, mentally and physically and that could affect him as he gets older. I’ve had my mouth washed out with soap twice because I said bad words and my mom was trying to help me quit sucking my thumb. It didn’t work like she thought so they tried hot sauce and I liked it so that never helped either. Although soap and sauce are common ways of fixing a problem, there should be a limit to where it’s just messed up
