Have to give the mother (from that movie) kudos for putting the soap in her mouth to taste it tho
Blaaaa, yuck. Still, undecided that I would prefer a spanking either.
Been victim of both, esp spankings. Sometimes parents don't realize when to stop.

"Behave! Or else I'll make you feel pain!"

Lazy and ignorant parenting at work.

Adults work in the same ways...commit a crime and you will feel pain - mental anguish, restricted movement, confinement, crappy food, loss of contact with loved ones, etc.

Has anyone heard kids' filthy mouths today?? Our society's filthy mouths?? Thank you liberal loons for that...

By the way, children may as well get used to some discomfort in life. There will be LOTS of it for them when they get older...
I hope you don't have kids, God help them.

I've never heard of anything so ridiculous. This is the first I've heard of this practice.

How are any of those, when used within reason, abusive?
