A Florida couple is behind bars for some old school discipline

A Palm Bay woman and her boyfriend were arrested Monday for child abuse after the couple went old school to punish their 8-year-old daughter for swearing.
They washed her mouth out with soap.
We don't know about you, but we would petition President Obama and Congress to make it mandatory for every parent to carry a bar of Irish Spring in their back pockets with all the profanity kids use today.
Police claim Adriyanna Herdener and Wilfredo Rivera went too far by placing a bar of soap in the girl's mouth and letting it stay for 10 minutes. Herdener did not intervene in the discipline.
The girl eventually vomited and Rivera took her to the local hospital, where hospital staff called police.
No one wants a child to be hurt or inhumanely punished, but parents' discipline choices in this country have come down to calling Dr. Phil or hiding the joysticks to the Wii.
Next time your kid has a potty mouth, just give them some gum.

it was tabasco for me... I was 6-7. my mother placed it on the back of my toung, to this day I think I have only sworn in front of her one or 2 times since then.

I grew to love the taste of soap as a child................... just kidding. ;)
What the heck is wrong here?
Going to jail for washing a child's mouth out with soap.........the 'ten-minute' part might have been overboard, but still,...... jail?
Glad there weren't all these goody-two-shoes crusaders around when I was a kid.....I'd have starved to death because my folks would have stayed in jail.........not that I was a bad kid....it just took me till I was about 7 to smarten up.

They tried the Tabasco thing on me.
I had never had it before.
"Can I have some more of that f-cking stuff" was not the answer my parents were looking for ;D

7 in dog years, maybe ;)
The whole problem these days is that cause has been disconnected from effect.
I remember my kindergarten teacher would use soap if you had a dirty mouth. That was public school, not THAT long ago.
