it was dr. phil.
today on his show there was this "mother" who had 6 children (woah), some of which were adopted is what i gathered, anyways... this little 7 year old boy, kristoff, got in some sort of trouble at school and received "three pages??" at school- which is a bad thing from what i got. so the kid came home with these warnings from teachers about how he behaved badly in school and the "mother" FLIPPED. she screamed in his face telling him he was a bad kid, a liar, ect ect. THEN she sat him on the counter in the bathroom and filled his mouth with HOT SAUCE!!!!!????!!?!?!?!? WHHHHHHAT the F! she continued to yell at him while he had the hot sauce in his mouth.
-i've had hot sauce in my mouth once at courntie braatz's house when i was in 7th grade, we thought it was fun??, and i've never done a "dare" again like that.
okay, so after this hot sauce she continued to put this kid in a cold shower? WTF? this kid cried and cried and said sorry upon sorry and the "mother" just kept yelling at him. PLUS this was all videotaped by her 10 year old daughter? why would you let your daughter see this? how traumatic for her and this poor kristoff. so she sent this video into dr phil and asked him for help.
everyone in the dr phil audience was disgusted by this woman and had numerous things to say. i didn't end up watching the entire episode but from what i saw this "mother" needs some serious help.
so okay, i watched this and sat and held gavin and tight as i could for as long as he would let me hold on to him, and bawled! it was so sad! here this kid got adopted by this "mother" hoping for a better life than what he had in russia and this is how she treats him. urgh! totally made me mad!
i thought a lot about how upset i sometimes get with gavin and how i get frustrated, and i'm sure i'll get even more upset/frustrated as he gets older, but i could NEVER, i repeat, NEVER traumatize/hit/hurt my child the way she has done to hers. when i was little i got a "whoopin" aka a smack on the ass and an occasional mouth full of soap, when i called my mom the "b word", but that was it. and i still don't think i could do that to gavin. gavin is going through this stage where he's biting (only me), hitting (only me and the poor dog) and throwing things (at me)... but it's not even when he's upset, it's just like something he's doing. he gets to sit in the time out chair for 1.5 minutes, if i can keep him in it for that long, but that's it. i've read enough books/magazines, heard enough that if you hit your child they are more likely to grow up with a troubled life and will be more likely to hit/hurt others, and that is not what i want for my son. seeing gav upset by getting his finger caught in a cupboard is hard enough, let alone knowing you caused your own child pain, i don't know how she can look at herself in the mirror.
this also makes me think of this video about this little boy that died from his mother and her boyfriend abusing him. WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO. how disgusting.
honestly my stomach is turning. here God grants you with this amazing gift of a baby, (wither it's yours or not) and these horrible people hurt and kill their children? uuuuuuuuurgh.
i know he's not yours, or 7, but how could you hurt someone like this? every baby/young child is happy like this at some point.
people are digusting
I watched some of that and had to turn it.. only to see on some other channel babies born addicted to drugs because of a mother's use. too sad for words! I wish there was more we could do for those babies!!!
