I saw the raw video on some website the other day, and looked to see if they had found the person who did this. she turned herself in after the video was shown on TV. I have found a lot of people talking about this in blogs and they seem divided on this lady as to if she is a child abuser or just a tough parenting. now my thought is that this was abuse, even if she "checked" the pressure before turning it on the little girl. What about yourselves?
Abuse or just tough parenting?

That little turd probably deserved it.... Or maybe that's why I don't have kids. 
I'm sure the child needed some typ of disapline but was that the right choice? probably not and thats what the Mom was thinking about in jail!
