A mom in Alaska could spend a year behind bars and be fined up to ten-thousand-dollars for disciplining her adopted son with hot sauce and cold showers.  CNews  reports a six-member jury in Anchorage returned a guilty verdict on one-count of misdemeanor child abuse.

The story was hardly believable.  A mom in Alaska appeared on The "Dr. Phil" Show with a videotape of her disciplining her adopted Russian-born son by forcing hot sauce into his mouth.  The mother, Jessica Beagley also admitted she used cold showers to discipline her son.  The show outraged viewers across the U-S and lead to charges against Beagley and ultimately her conviction.  

The story is hardly believable.  The tape may leave you angry.
