What’s with the hot sauce as punishment?

my daughter (now 13) vividly remembers a teacher/worker at her daycare leaving the job and going to buy hot sauce and returning to put it on her thumb and make her put her thumb in her mouth because she was a thumbsucker. She cried and the rest of the class laughed. She didn’t tell me until three years later when she was about seven years old. But it made such an impact on her that she wrote a full page about it in her fifth grade autobiography which was 6 years after the fact. Shortly after she started kindergarten the entire daycare shut down after 28 years and the worker moved to another state or I would’ve pitched a complete fit. But honestly....It still affects her.

Granted different situation entirely just chiming in

Sterilize them.
Then give them the exact same punishment until their knees are permanently destroyed.
Also force some shampoo and soap on them.
I can smell them from Canada.

Maybe just prepping the kid for .....
When investigators noticed a scar on the boy’s check, he allegedly told them Grant made him put a firework in his mouth and light it. He says he was made to hold the bottle rocket in his own mouth until it exploded.

A Naugatuck man accused of child abuse is facing additional charges.

Police said Kevin Grant, 33, of Naugatuck, is facing more charges in a child abuse investigation that started in 2020.

Grant is awaiting trial for a 2020 arrest in the case, according to authorities.

Grant is accused of beating the victims with a bat to the point that the victim could not walk, said police.

He attached thumb tacks to a bat and forced his children to hit each other with it, police said.

Police said one of the children was put in the closet as a punishment. When he had to use the bathroom, he was given a box.

“The juvenile victim was then forced by Kevin to defecate in the box while locked in the closet and was then made to eat his feces out of the box while his siblings were forced to watch,” said Naugatuck police.

Grant is also accused of putting firecrackers in one of the children’s pants and setting it off.

Authorities said the victims in the case range from the ages of 5 to 11 years old.

Police said Grant was taken into custody on August 10.

How did he still have access to these children.

Grant was arrested on a $50,000 bond, police said. So is he going to bond out and continue to abuse these kids WTF.

 

[Mountaineer95]

What are his additional charges? They better include torture. Kneeling on tacks=torture.

Another article said he put a bottle rocket in one of the children's mouth until it exploded.

The link no longer works but I don't doubt this monster would do that.

The mom needs just as long a sentence since she knew and did nothing to protect her children.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

That’s the “sentence” this sadist got?

 

[DamagedGoods]

All of these parents, because apparently there are multitudes of them, should be sent to a deserted island, all together, and left there to fend for themselves with all the other fucking assholes just like them.

We could stream it from drones and call it, "Don't Really Care If You Survivor Island."

 

[Taishobee]

That sure counts as no justice to me!
