Having your mouth filled with hot sauce & not being allowed to spit it out or swallow is a whole different ballgame than the nail-biting sauce! If you haven't seen the footage, please make sure you do. I was nearly in tears; my husband & I were both appalled at the adoptive mother's behaviour. I've worn many a butt beating as a child, & earned every one of them, but this was absolutely ridiculous treatment towards a child. No one's suing anyone, she's been convicted of child abuse. In my opinion, rightfully so, & video evidence to boot.

I didn't know there was a video, I'll have to check that out. Just hearing that she videotaped the event creeps me out a little. I'll reserve judgement here...

It was another child in the home that videotaped it I think.
