Discipline or child abuse?
So, your toddler is being bad out in public and you've had it up to here. . . what do you do?
Well, according to this mom, you spray the child with cold water.
In this MSN story, a mother disciplined her young child by spraying the kid with cold water.
People who watched her do it were mortified.
These folks have obviously never had a toddler.
Currently, the police are considering whether or not to file charges against her.
Though I commend her for originality, she may want to use a different tactic with her toddler.
She doesn't want the child to be scared of water, does she?
What do you guys think of this method of. . . ah. . . discipline?

ANYTHING that keeps an unruly rugrat in check and quiet is a good thing in my book. I get sick of onlookers thinking it's cute when some brat is screaming and ruining others' atmosphere anyplace, ESPECIALLY in restaurants. I say shut 'em up and keep them under control!

Poor mommie. She comes up with a way to get her point to her child non-violently and everyone gets all crazy. Parents hands are tied as it is, lighten up people. It's not like there are time-out stalls any where in the mall and if the same people had seen her swat her kid's fanny, she still would have been in trouble.

That is pretty funny! Isn't that how you discipline a pet. Well whatever,nowadays you can't do anything to these kids w/out someone discipling you. I am really sick of people all up in other people's business and not offering any suggestions or alternatives.
If she has found an effective way to keep this kid undercontrol w/ out having to use her hands then I say go on!!
