Mothers arrested for videotaped toddler fighting ring
Shock at women goading toddlers

"The girl leaves the room, and when she comes back the two are taunted and told to fight again.

The court heard that when interviewed by police, one of the women said: "I didn't see any harm in toughening them up. I done the same with my own children."

One of the women pleaded guilty to causing or procuring the children to be ill treated in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering of injury.

The other three pleaded guilty to jointly inciting the ill treatment of children. "

7. I've heard that old remedy too..
and when I had my own kids, plenty of people offered me that advice. Something about giving my child hard liquor (even in those minute amounts) just didn't sit well with me.
