You say things have changed but peoples views and beliefs hasn't .... e.g why is slavery still a bitch then ? ... you look at china and their *chuins* people still are as aggressive back in the day as now and having that idea of no this no that blah blah blah where does it state the childs age? .. he can talk and has a sense of understanding and being able to reply ... he's at least 5 - 7 .... shit happened to when my grandmother and mum was 5-7 ..... not being able to eat for 3 days straight or being locked in a room for doing stupid mistakes etc ..... these things always been occurring for years and years and no matter how unethical and abusive and inhumane YOU think this is it will never stop because the society we live in fucking sucks ........ look at other videos .... (forgot which websites) but there's worse shit happening to children then this and then you would think that this mother is just very strict and disciplinary
Ok cool, our grandparents got tons of thing done to them when they were kids. That does not mean that we have to accept that. We always strive to make the world better. Just cause this stuff happened in the past, or in other parts of the world, does not make it not as cruel as it is. You shouldn't spend time comparing this to what has or is being done to other children in other cultures, you should look at it and be able to use your own judgment/morals to tell that this is abuse, and the mother has gone too far. Stop comparing the past with this. We live in 2010, not freakin 1950.
i understand your point, and to some degree, i agree with it. i agree that there are worst things that are done to children all over the world. i have done research on child labor, child slavery and child prostitution. i fully understand the things that are done to children around the world. here's the thing, you're expanding the scope of this issue to a worldwide level, and comparing disciplinary actions to illegal actions done to kids around the world. the scope i am talking about is the scope of a civilized, educated, developed country, not that of third world developing countries. if this was to happen in a third world country, i would not have posted this video here, because there are much worst things done to kids in third world countries. but in this case, it is not in a third world country. we are referring to the norm and standards of a developed and educated country. to the standards of third world countries, ok, maybe this wont make front page news, but to the standards of developed countries, this is unacceptable. talk all you want about how our grandparents and parents being raised the same way. news flash for you, they were also raised in a country that differs in cultural and social acceptance than developed country. there are more civilized and more effective way of disciplining, and raising a child, WITHOUT risking mental or physical health problems.
^ okay fine i agreee with you there and your right ... but then you have to look at if it is necessary do to these type of disciplinary acts ....... look at it this way your child is being a complete asshole and if your a parent you have two ways to go ....... either being the one who takes in charge and who will be able to teach that child the difference between right or wrong through using acts such as spanking etc .... or your going to be the parent who cant handle it any more and become overly emotional when shit happens ....... then you would also have to look at the future .... if a child is disciplined and that child is punished for it ... will he do it again? .. no because he would understand the consequences ... if the child isn't disciplined can carries on doing shit and he will end up growing up thinking that there is no consequences if your trying to *make the world a better place* as kha kha said ... wouldn't the way forward is to discipline the child so that the child doesn't grow up ... kill people and expect no consequences ... and yes there are other ways to discipline your child without causing physical or mental harm ... but does it work ? ... is it more effective? ..........
^Agreed. It's the parents that don't know how to discipline their children, who resort to corporal punishment. However, in this case, I really think the women just gets off punishing her kid. Especially when the kid is adopted.
It's Dr. Phil's show so things are a bit more dramatic. Personally, I don't believe anything in the short clip. If this was the true, she should be behind bar by now or DSS would have taken the child away. Adopted or not .. it's abuse.
yes, there are much better methods that work, and are more effective, without feeding the child hot sauce. one of many methods are military discipline, through martial arts training (not just any fancy martial arts training, specifically those that uphold notions of discipline, self-control). I took, and taught, taekwondo for a non-profit school, and our goal was to instill a notion of discipline into the students. all the generations of males in my family undertook similar paths, whether military or martial arts, to learn discipline. i'm just saying there is more than one way of instilling discipline without permanent mental or physical repercussions.
The issue of having psychotic mothers isn't new. Joan Crawford, who adopted two children, was lambasted by the daughter in a controversial autobiographical memoir called Mommy Dearest, later made into a very talked about 1981 film (starring Faye Dunaway). Here's a clip: [video=youtube;FkX7-EHrLxE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkX7-EHrLxE"[/video] It basically depicted the late Crawford as out of control, being obsessively punitive for even the most trivial and meaningless of childhood infractions. Watching the OP video, I was instantly reminded of the Crawford story as the mother's behavior fits to a tee. The child (like the children in Crawford's case) was terrorized to the point of submission. While the mother perceived the child as fearing the punishment, what is actually happening is the child has begun to fear the mother. So instead of having an unconditionally loving and nurturing presence always by your side protecting oneself, the child instead, now is chained to a heinous monster that will harm him at every opportunity. The amount of emotional damage that is present here is almost incalculable. IMHO, he will likely grow up to be a mass murderer; his first victim would likely be his mommy dearest.
^ that is true... he will have some serious suppressed feelings that is going to explode but i think that bomb has defused as now his mom is being ridiculed and humiliated by the masses.... mom is on tv, means a lot to a kid.
