Child forced to eat soap, couple arrested - Page 2

My mom stuck a bar of soap in my mouth one time for saying "shit" I think I was like 8 or 9. It was disgusting. Good thing she doesn't give a shit anymore since I'm an adult or I'd be eating soap on a daily basis!

Good god, over half the parents of people I grew up with should be arrested then, with as many people as I know who've had their mouths washed out with soap for cussing as kids.

Kids today=weak asses. A little bit of soap in the gullet freaking puts them in a hospital.

And you can sign me up as one of the parents who have washed a child's mouth out with soap. We call it a "scrubbing" - it involved dish washing liquid and a toothbrush. I didn't make him swallow that shit but he also never said a cuss word again. He's certainly never said "fuck". That's the queen mother of them all, I don't know what I'd do if my kid said "fuck"....

Poor Ralphie. He couldn't catch a break.

When my Monte was a year, he ate almost a whole bar of lever 2000...he used his paw to knock it off the tub..

My mum washed my mouth out with soap once. I was horrified... I always thought it was just an idle threat.

That said, she didn't make me chew on a bar of soap for ten minutes until I vomited. That sounds sadistic to me. Being a coward and leaving the hospital before the kid's received treatment - because he found out the authorities were called - doesn't win them any sympathy points either.

Jeebus, that's a bit rough. I mean, washing the kids mouth with soap is hardly a unique punishment, but surely you'd stop before hospitalisation was required?!

I don't think I ever got the soap treatment, but I was too scared to swear in front of my parents until my teens. After that though, it was c-bombs at the dinner table.
My little brother used to swear like a wharfie since he was a toddler though. He never got punished, but my mother always ensured he used the correct grammar -

(toddler brother in a nappy running up the street) "You Fuck Bastards!"
(my mother, chasing after him) "No! It's You Fuck-ING Bastards! Fuck-ING!!"

Yes, bystanders were suitably shocked. But to this day he is very well-spoken.

You went from no cursing to using C U Next Tuesday at the DINNER TABLE???

^^^I come from a very open minded family, especially my mother, in case that wasn't apparent. LOL
I was the uptight one until then - for some weird reason I thought I'd get in trouble - and I guess I had to make up for lost time.
Also my friends and I were on a mission to completely strip the word of all it's taboo and shock value by using it as often as possible. I dunno ... we were a bit strange - in case THAT wasn't obvious!
It may have started out as a pseudo-feminist-taking-offence-to-female-genitalia-being-offensive kind of crap...if you'll excuse the expression, I think it was all a load of wank, really.

First thing I thought of...it ...was ...the ...soap

That mother is cruel, making the girl clean up her vomit before she could wash her mouth out, now that's a loving mother...sheesh!

I remember using the f word when I was very young. I had no idea what it meant or that it was a taboo word. My mother explained it wasn't a word to use and that was the end of it and I didn't use it again...until I was 17 and had a friend that used it constantly, but then not in front of Mom. How old was this girl again? The mom is a fucking cunt!

Police said the little girl was foaming at the mouth and wasn't allowed to wash the soap out until she cleaned up her own vomit.

Come on, you took that seriously?

Or course I agree the dumb bitch mom is probably a nutcase that took it too far and shouldn't have let her swallow/swallow enough to put her in the hospital. Sheesh, already...

But I don't think washing a kid's mouth out with soap under ordinary circumstances is "bad parenting"

I guess 50%+ of everyone I know (the ones who weren't mollycoddled) grew up with shitty parenting then. Funny, they turned out just fine.

Never got the soap treatment from the folks. I came home one day from fourth grade asking one of them what "fuck" meant. The kid next to me, Danny Taylor, had said it about 20 times during our math test and I'd never heard it used at home. My ma casually explained it to me and said don't use it until you're older because it's not a nice word. I grew up around swearing - and when I was younger, I SWORE (heh) that I'd never drink, smoke or swear when I got older.

Well, I don't smoke.

I know, right? When my parents caught me swearing - I had to read the entire bible... I was 8, do you how fucking long that took?!?

DitaPage* · October 15th, 2009, 09:52 PM

They are sick fucks. Laughing while your daughter is obviously having a horrible reaction to your sadistic punishment. Nice. Yes, a bit of soap is hardly a death sentence, but this story is horrendous (cleaning up her own vomit?) - unfit parents for sure. Anyone I know who has had the soap didn't vomit from it. This is extreme. Makes you wonder what else went on in that house.

I mis-read the title as "Child forced to eat soup, couple arrested"
