Yay for media sensationalism. Ever get sprayed by a car wash hose? It doesn't hurt much more than a super soaker. Also the video details the max pressure. There is a low setting on those things that doesn't even sting. No way to tell what it was set on from the video. The video also doesn't show anything that led up to the spraying. It's no excuse for serious abuse, but if the kid was seriously misbehaving, squirting them on the low pressure(rinse) setting is hardly cruel.

If the pressure was set to high and the kid didn't really do anything, that is pretty bad. We don't have that information though. Of course, it must be all true and the worst case scenario if it's on the news though! Sort of reminds me of that Gummi di Milo Simpsons episode.

It's possible that it was set on the highest pressure(which still isn't much worse than an old fashioned spanking), but I'm not ready to damn someone to hell without knowing the most important facts that were skipped over the report.

A firehose is a totally different beast. You would dent the hell out of a car with a firehose. Car wash hose pressure isn't even close.

 in all my life ive never seen a carwash with selectable pressure
