Hot Sauce: Abuse Or Discipline? {VIDEO}

Oh, this is brutal... I don't have children of my own, but I can't imagine that I would ever do this. I know some parents reach the end of their rope but DANG! They showed this video on Dr. Phil. Be careful, it's pretty brutal. The mother gave her 7 year old son hot sauce that he had to hold in his mouth as punishment as well as a cold shower for lying and getting in trouble at school. According to Today, the mom is facing child abuse charges. What do you think?
