Mum forces children to eat spicy sauce as form of punishment

Sydney, March 26 (ANI): A mother has been ordered by a court to undergo psychological treatment after she forced her children to eat Tabasco sauce as a form of punishment and brainwashed them not to call her former husband “Dad”.

After the woman’s five-year-old son, known as “M”, was removed from her care last December, she submitted an application to the Family Court requesting for son be returned to her.

The woman, known as Ms Israel, and the child’s father, known as Mr Hilder, had parted ways in 2006 when both shared custody of him.

Judge Graham Bell said it was ‘clear’ that the mother had given the hot sauce to punish her children and that “M” had been subjected to it from the age of three.

He found her actions had been ‘entirely inappropriate,’ reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

The judge, therefore, ordered that the child live with his father and that the mother not be allowed to have unsupervised visits with her son until she had undergone appropriate psychological treatment. (ANI)
