“OMG THIS IS CHILD ABUSSSSSE.” Shut up, you pussies. This is discipline. You wonder why things are the way they are right now? Parents are afraid of the consequences of smacking their kids to punish them. Arrested this mom. Unbelievable.
Meet 44 year old Nicole Staples. She was arrested and fired from her job after her other son posted this video of her be*ting her other son with a belt for not cleaning up after himself. She was released from jail Wednesday evening after posting a $7,500 bond.

Hard disagree. She was excessive.
Sick Nicole Staples, a 44-year-old former Mobile teacher was arrested and fired after a disturbing video showed her hitting a child with a belt. The older brother said the incident started because his younger brother had not completed his chores.

This is similar to the razor strap that my mother used to hit us with. We deserved it too.

That's not discipline; it's assault! I grew up in the late 60s and 70s, and CPS would have been called for that. The mother is clearly furious, which is not the headset for disciplinary action. She is taking out her fury and frustration on someone ⅓ her size with no allowable recourse. The child's frightened child recorded this to show what happens at home!

Leslie, if Patrick S. Tomlinson had received this kind of discipline, and I insist it is discipline, he wouldn't be like he is today. Spoiled narcissist.

She hit him over 20 times. Not once or twice, over 20. That's not discipline, that's abuse. It's a woman out of control. It's also a surefire way to never see your children again. Not because the government took them, but because they can't wait to escape the hell they live.

It's a whack on the butt over your jeans with a belt.

Idk man I was that kid and I dont think im better for it. But I dont see measured discipline here. This is just a frantic woman. Im not a parent but I know this wouldnt train my dog I cant imagine the benefit that a child would get from this but im not a parent.

🤔 This is nothing compared to what I got as a kid. And I wasn't allowed to cry.

Yesssss, now she needs to belt the other kid who uploaded the video to the internet too. Neither of those kids will pull that crap again.

That kid is getting cut out of the will. Think you're getting a car when you turn 17? Think again.

I counted i think 23 hits. I know people lose it at times but 23 hits. Then pulled his hair. Thats abuse. I read the older son reported her as she has a history of doing this. I pray thats a lie. If so shes done this for years to them.

That kid looks like he's 26. Hit him again.

Why couldn't she hide in his closet wearing a Henry Kissinger mask and terrorize him in the middle of the night like a normal parent?
Replying to @EthanVanSciver
While that might be excessive for "not cleaning up after himself" - the kid's pants were still on and those were mom spankings. He's fine. The mom might need some better guidance for punishment vs crime, but this isn't abuse, not by a long shot. Shame these children were brainwashed against their mother. Hopefully she beats the charges better than she beat the kids.

If she had stopped after a few smacks I would agree 100% but that looked more like out of control rage because of how long she kept going. I didn't spend the day in her shoes so I don't know for a fact but it did seem to go on a bit

I used to start crying as soon as my mom started walking towards the belt cupboard.

Fr, I got waaay worse whoopings when I was a youngling 🤣
Replying to @EthanVanSciver
My mom spanked me worse than that once when I went out with a friend of mine and didn't tell her where I was going. I was gone all day and never checked in or anything. I didn't get home until well after sunset and she went hogwild on me with a inch wide leather belt. She whipped me across the face, neck, back, arms you name it... She was pissed! I didn't talk to her for about a week after that and still haven't forgotten it. I have no idea what this kid did, but he didn't get it nearly as bad as I did so I'll say he was lucky, I'm also sure he didn't have the monster of a step dad that I had too. I want to say what happened to that mother is overboard, but I know what she did was wrong and she should pay, but then again, that's the same kind of stuff that happend to me and well...

from someone who did cop a belt every now and again . i must say she took it a bit far and looked like she was enjoying it way too much. two hits is enough maybe 3 but she was going ham and looked like she was taking out her own frustration more then anything else.

I know you're "Mr. Conservative" these days, and you feel like you have to adopt ALL of the conservative ideas, but this is a particularly bad one. One needn't look any further than violent crime statistics to see what this kind of "discipline" leads to.

I was with you until she grabbed him by the hair and yanked him off of the couch by the head. There's discipline and then there's THAT...
