The mother who appeared on Dr. Phil, having sent him a video of how she disciplined her son for lying, is now being charged with abuse. She punished her son for lying by placing hot sauce in his mouth and making him hold it there. She also corrected him by placing him in a freezing cold shower. Is Hot Sauce Mom disciplining her son or torturing him? I guess that will be up to the courts to decide. She claims that she had tried all kinds of discipline but none of them worked. She states that he is suffering from a behavior disorder. If this is true, why isn't she seeking professional help? Some may say that that was what she was doing by contacting the Dr. Phil show, but I think it was more about her notoriety rather than any help she was seeking for her son. Shame on her, and shame on the Dr. Phil show, for being more concerned about ratings then the health and well-being of a young boy.
I guess the verdict is in and she is guilty of misdemeanor child abuse, just a slap on the wrist for torturing your child. Kinda sad to think that we treat parents more fairly then they treat their children.
