Note: I originally wrote this in June 2004. The Washington Post reports on a practice known as "hot saucing", where a bit of hot sauce is applied to a child's tongue as a disciplinary measure. (Credit for the link goes to this blog.) I do not have a problem with corporal punishment. I support a parent's right to apply discipline to their child as they see fit, within reasonable limits. However, I think this is over the line.
