A Palm Bay woman and her boyfriend were arrested Monday for child abuse after the couple went old school to punish their 8-year-old daughter for swearing.

They washed her mouth out with soap.

We don't know about you, but we would petition President Obama and Congress to make it mandatory for every parent to carry a bar of Irish Spring in their back pockets with all the profanity kids use today.

Personally, I do not see the problem with what the parents did.

Apparently Mrs. Parker is a child abuser now.

I imagine the charges will be dropped. Probably an over zealous hospital staff and police officer.

Fine make them eat soap. Ive done it. Of course I never made them keep it for 10 mins. I simply did it so they got the horrid taste in their mouth and we moved on. But these parents did it until their kid was vomitting and apparently scared the mom so bad she took the kid to the hospital.

Apparently, there is a little more to this story than simply reading the article gives.

According to the video in the link, after the girl vomited, the parents made her clean up her own mess, and the mother refused to take her to the hospital. The man (father?) did, but left without getting her treated when staff called police.

I still am not on the this is child abuse bandwagon (because I do not think washing a kids mouth out with soap qualifies in any way), but there may be more than we know in this situation.
