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. |
You are assuming the women knew you could adjust the pressure in the first place. It is a pretty reckless thing to do as a parent anyway you look at it. |
Sorry, I don't mean to assume she was right or didn't do anything wrong. I just don't think it's fair to assume the worst. They never show the start of the incident, so we really have no idea if she turned it down or was already in rinse mode. Maybe she is a horrible parent that should be in jail, I just don't see this as conclusive evidence of that.
