American mother who abused son to get on TV convicted 12 Years, 8 Months ago

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14642212

A US woman accused of using extreme methods to punish her adopted Russian son as a ploy to get on a TV programme has been convicted of child abuse.

The jury in Alaska was shown a video in which Jessica Beagley poured spicy sauce into her son's mouth.

Defence lawyers said she wanted to appear on the TV programme after normal punishments had failed.

I wonder if Joe Public, either in the US or here, will ever have the maturity to take personal responsibility for the abuse of children that our voyeuristic appetites lead to?
