Alaska Hot Sauce Mom Convicted of Child Abuse

Hot sauce is not something a mother should use to make a child behave. By pouring hot sauce into your child's mouth you are not acting like a responsible parent. It is child abuse. In the case of Alaska mom, Jessica Beagley, she has been convicted of misdemeanor child abuse, and well she should be.

Beagley has twin boys who she adopted from Russia. One boy has no behavioral problems; the other has many behavioral problems. When supposedly 'all else failed' this mother shot hot sauce directly into the boy's mouth as punishment. She also made him take ice cold showers because he lied to her. If you know your mom was going to cause physical harm to you wouldn't you lie to her too in order to avoid her punishment?

Beagley wanted to be on "Doctor Phil" so she sent in a video tape of how she has to deal with the boy. The show aired last October and instantly viewers notified Anchorage police. I saw that show, and it was horrible to watch what she did to him. The worst part is she thought it was ok. Most of the people who watched the show were in shock.

Well, Hot Sauce mom has been convicted and next Monday she will learn what her punishment will be. Many people would love to see her get a gallon or two of hot cause poured into her mouth. The law wouldn't look very kindly on that punishment I don't think!

She could, however, spend one year in jail. Along with that pay a $10,000 fine and 10 years of probation. Because she was convicted of a misdemeanor she is out on bail.

If you think her actions are bad, her husband is an Anchorage police officer. How in the world did he let that treatment go on? Shouldn't he have known better? What responsibility should he take in all of this?

Supposedly the boy is now in treatment, and I would bet they aren't throwing him in a cold shower as punishment. Perhaps the mom needs some therapy also, some did I say, a lot would be more like it.
