My sweet little angelic looking son was fairly non verbal at 2 or so. He was and still is tiny for his size and he often envokes the big eyed puss-in-boots response from people. He was a favorite in the daycare facility and would get special treatment from the caregivers (more attention, cute little outfits, etc). He was quite the favorite there.
So this lovely little boy looks at his caregiver and with perfect ennunciation calls her an f***ing b****, the whole place was horrified and I immediately got a call. I had to explain to them that yes I cuss at times but those are not the words they would hear around my house. As they investigated, they found that another little boy was freely using those terms and I was off the hook. I was mortified though. Couldn't the kid at least have learned some other nice words to say. At least I knew at that point that he could talk, lol.
I'm going to assume you were jesting, but in the event that you weren't, or that someone thinks it's ok -

That is a list of things that they may contain, not that they do contain. That description appears to be for detergents or cleaners, not hand soaps. Not that you should stick hand soaps in your kids mouth, but this looks like a scare tactic. Many of those smae ingredients are in toothpaste (along with Flouride - a poison). Some soaps have only three or four ingredients. Mostly water and glycerin which are things that we ingest daily. If I get a cut, the first thing I do is wash it out with soap. That is much more direct than sticking it in your mouth. Heck, you can actually eat soap to survive if you are starving.
I was joking, but that sounds pretty safe compared to some of the things our kids have stuck in their mouths over the years. Heck we even allowed them to put coca cola and worse yet Mountain Dew in their mouths. You think soap is bad - look up what is in mountain dew.
Our kids at times have picked up and tasted or eaten:
Soap
Dog poo
Batteries.
Pennies.
Mud
Goose Poo
Rabbit poo
rocks.
crayons.
Paint.
magic marker.
steel wool
a piece of broken glass
flouride treated water.
sticks
A black gooey thing that the found on a trail.
Their toes.
The Dog's tail
My Cockatoo's beak
Vicks Vapor Rub
Snail
Owl Pellet
A rotting apple
ABC Gum
Dead bugs
I am undoubtedly forgetting a dozen more even more awful things. Frankly it woudl not bother me if someone put soap int heir kids mouth as a lesson. Soap contains the same things now as it did when I was a kid and I certainly did my time sitting with a bar of soap in my mouth. As far as I can tell, I am still alive.
BTW. Coke is really good at removing rust from metal and eating through plugged drains, but it might damage the pipes.

Who you praise to all your friends as the smartest most loving caring child, who never gives you a gray hair, nor does something wrong, says at thanksgiving dinner he/she would love it if you passed the ********** mashed potatos. Whatever do you do as a modern 21st century parent?
Tell little Beelzebubbette that she may not have anymore potatoes until she finishes her %^&%*&! green beans.
On a more serious note, dd has abused her privilege of unlimited access to the English language, and has become the first of my kids to experience word restriction. So currently, I'd be most likely to say "Reset. Ask again, nicely."
One day when my daughter was 3, I was running for the phone and stepped on a lego. I generally don't curse and let out 'God d@mn it!'. DD doesn't repeat my phrase and I think I'm in the clear.
Then we're driving with husband & his parents (very Catholic mind you) and husband hits the brakes hard. DD yells out from her carseat 'God d@mn it! Right, mom?' I think the in-laws have been praying for me ever since! lol!
Funny thread. My sons Kindergarten teacher had a really embarassing moment at a school function and I really wish I had it on tape. They were singing the "Name Game" and all was going well until they got to little Tucker...Tucker, Tucker bo bucker banana fana fo fuc....you get the idea. All the parents got a good laugh, the teacher looked mortified and the kids thought it was the greatest thing ever. I still catch my son singing it from time to time.

Liquid hand soap does indeed potentially contain those ingredients. Putting liquid soap in a kids' mouth is a really stupid idea. Who checks the label first?
I got hit by a car once, I'm still alive, does that mean it's not potentially harmful to get hit by a car?

I realize you were joking, so there's no need to post a list of other things you may have ingested and survived the effects of. There's a difference between a kid ingesting stupid stuff of their own accord, and their parent sticking potentially toxic substances into their mouths as some kind of idiotic punishment. If the soaps we used when I was 10 are the same as the liquid soaps today, I'll eat my hat (I don't know if it's toxic or not ).
And you're actually the one that said liquid or bar.
