Just another stupid woman with kids. The whole thing was idiotic, but it doesn’t warrant 5 minutes on national TV.
No injuries. The kid’s fine. It was unwise of the mom to do this in a public place. Now she’s got to deal with the state and prove she’s a good mom. A little cold water never hurt anyone, and besides, the proprietor said it was on low pressure.
California state regislature should pass a law that allows parents to discipline their kids including physical means, as long as kids are not seriously hurt.
This is only reasonable. How else parents discipline their kids? Send them to psychatrists?
I received physical beating and threats of it in school and at home. It helped me to be a fine human being.
Parents should have a say in how they raise their own kids. For those who are a third party, they should be allowed to say “NOB”.
That wasn’t California, dude. That was Florida.
Florida? I thought people were more backward there. I thought only Californians meddle with these nonsense social issues. Like saving the humpback whale.
My bad.
Mom’s pregnant. Why do these people breed?
Sesame: the kid’s fine? It’s not about lasting physical injury. You can beat the soles of someone’s feet and not leave injuries.
The brains of two year olds lack the portion for controlling emotion, and hosing them down won’t help their brains grow any faster. The woman on the other hand, maybe she needs to be hosed, or forced to attend parenting classes, at least.
Oh, come on — nothing wrong with taking a high-pressure hose to a toddler. Builds character.
regislature?!
You should beat kids with high pressure water hoses not hose them down.
Maybe the kid had scabies.
In the video the high pressure hose was shooting out of the nozzle in a very wide angle. I know with those things you can barely hold the trigger down and the water comes out at much less pressure, and at a wide angle. Its probably still painful for a 2 year old’s skin, but at least it wasn’t at full power.
“A little cold water never hurt anyone,”
Sure. Besides this, there’s drownings in shallow water, water torture, hydroplaning, etc. Water, when in the hands of the wrong people, is one of the most deadly substances on earth.
“and besides, the proprietor said it was on low pressure.”
The mother didn’t say it was on low pressure, just that it wasn’t on full pressure.
Who needs high pressure water jets. Just scream at the kids constantly at the top of your lungs for hours on end. Doesn’t leave a single mark and should be just as effective at proving you are incapable of parenting. People should have to raise a well adjusted dog before they are allowed to breed.
She’s a good mom. It takes a little tough love at times. At the end, she wraps her daughter in a towel.
#6, I’m sure if you were a screwup and had your soles beaten, you wouldn’t make that same mistake. Let’s keep it in perspective.
1) Low pressure (not full), cold water.
2) Bad child.
3) Mother doing mother’s business.
4) Unwise to do this in public.
#11 You’re right about water. Let’s ban it. Let’s stop swimming, showering, and cooking. Does the mother fall into this category of “wrong people?” It’s not Guantanamo, it’s a quick wash of a child.
I’d like to see anyone here tell a Southern mom, not to hit their child with a hickory switch or a Northern dad theirs with a belt. Just watching some of these shows like, Montel, Dr. Phil (idiot), Daddy’s Little Girl, or any number and you can see what happens when parents keep their children on the right path.
