I do not approve of these tactics, but they do not look criminal to me. I eat hot sauce and take cold showers. Not a big deal. If the kid had to eat hot sauce as part of a meal, and had to take cold showers because the water heater was broken, then no one would claim child abuse.

i would disagree. no parent i respect would force their child to eat hot sauce or take cold showers.
I did not say that I respected the parent. I do not even respect Dr. Phil!
Her discipline is wrong in every way possible. It is definitely child abuse and she should be punished. I think the children should be taken away from her and she should take parenting classes before they are allowed back into the home.
If an adult eats hot sauce and chooses to take cold showers, then that is their choice. It is not acceptable for a child to be forced to keep hot sauce in his mouth and be forced to take a cold shower as punishment. If she has problems with the child's behavior, then she needs counseling or someone to help with whatever issues they are having. She doesn't punish the child like that. The child is so small and can't even defend himself.
When children are punished like that and grow up in such a terrible household, they will definitely have problems as adults.
