Back then, I'm sure they didn't realize that it could poison their children but it was enough of a deterrent that the kid stopped whatever bad behavior had been going on.

I personally wouldn't use a jalapeno on my own child but if this is the *only* way the mother can get her to settle down and behave, who are we to judge?
I totally agree. When I was younger I was spanked for misbehaving and it really upset me when people referred to getting spanked as "abuse." They are two completely different things.

As for the peppers... I dont think its going to harm the children.... but I must admit its a little strange. But if its the only thing that works.. then I guess its ok. I Hardly think this is abuse... Thats just my two cents...
