Hot sauce mom

[camstory]

Just a couple of points that I don't believe have been mentioned:

The child was adopted from a Russian orphanage.

The mother inflicted this punishment and did so on video in order to get on Dr. Phil's show.

Well, I reckon this serves to add quit a bit of irrelevancy to my earlier post. The facts do however serve to strengthen perhaps my biggest concern with this story. I would argue, that shows like the Dr. phil show, have very little to do with Psychiatry/psychology, and everything to do with what sells/entertains. I personally think it is a shame that Dr. phil is so popular, - just my opinion.

If you are interested in true Psychiatry/psychology you can take a look at this. Which shows, I think, that even when things appear to be black and white, the causes, and underling truths are always filled with more complex shades of gray.

Camstory, if you like Zimbardo and haven't read his book, "The Lucifer Effect," I recommend it. Details the Stanford Prison Experiment, Abu Graib, and other interesting tales of how systems generate evil, rather than one person generating evil systems.

3:30 p.m. UPDATE

Jessica Beagley will serve no jail time and pay no fine for punishing her adopted son with hot sauce and a cold shower, under sentencing delivered today by District Court Judge David Wallace.

Wallace today sentenced Beagley to 180 days in jail with all 180 suspended, and a $2,500 fine with all $2,500 suspended. She must continue to attend counseling sessions with her sons.

The judge described the abuse -- made infamous on the "Dr. Phil" show and subsequent YouTube clips -- as a "premeditated, gratuitous act against a boy that you knew had problems."

The clips were disturbing, Wallace said. The sound of the boy screaming in the shower will stay with those who heard it.

Still, the judge said Beagley was not the worst kind of offender and this is not the worst kind of offense. "Outside of this case, you're a good mom," Wallace said as he handed down the sentence before a small courtroom filled with maybe a dozen onlookers and a row of cameras.

He told the 36-year-old Anchorage mother that he wasn't sending her to jail.

"You're not a danger to the public. I think you committed a one-time act to get (on) a TV show," Wallace said.

Beagley won't go to jail or be fined unless she breaks the conditions of her three-year probation.
Beagley and her husband, an Anchorage police officer, ignored reporters questions as they hurried for a stairwell following the sentencing. I'll post video of Beagley's lawyer discussing the sentence soon.

I still think she deserves jail time.

The fact she would do that to get on a tv show is more disturbing to me than the shit she did on the tape...
