My little cousin just turned 4 years old, and like most 4 year olds he an be spastic at times. They live in a different state than us, but my aunt and my mother are still very close. it seems like everytime my mom gets off the phone with my aunt, she tells me about a harsh punishment that she has given her son (my cousin). i have heard of her trapping him in a carseat in the basement, closing the door, and then turning out the light (he is very afraid of the dark). i have heard of her trapping him in the basement MANY times, and if she EVER cathes him spitting she washes him moth out with sope, which has lye in it, which could potentially make him very sick . She is also liberal with spankings. She was never like this with her other child when she was that age, and she was equally as high strung. Do you think that this is borderline abusive, harsh, or just over the top? i want to know if i am overreating. is it really no big deal?
