The story about the little boy up here was just sad. You'd think if the county regularly placed foster kids with them, they were a decent couple. They didn't just tape his mouth shut....apparently it was wrapped around his head so it didn't come off. From what I understood, they tied him up but didn't bother to see that his face was obstructed so that he couldn't breathe. Imagine leaving a youngster like that. All night. How cruel can people be. I just think death is way too harsh a punishment for a kid that breaks simple household rules or talks back.
Yeah, TK - soap was always my punishment of choice. Easy to find. Easy to use. Usually didn't leave tell-tale traces.
