VANCOUVER — Water torture of babies is one way some members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day instil fear of authority, a former member testified Wednesday.
"It's quite common," Carolyn Blackmore Jessop told the constitutional reference case to determine whether Canada's polygamy law is valid.
"They spank the baby and when it cries, they hold the baby face up under the tap with running water. When they stop crying, they spank it again and the cycle is repeated until they are exhausted."
It's typically done by fathers and it's called "breaking in."
Jessop, who is from Arizona, testified about the practice during her testimony in B.C. Supreme Court.
Outside the courthouse, Jessop said water torture is common enough that there doesn't seem any shame attached to the practice.

This is one instance where I will fully support the death penalty. Fuck my principles, these people should be shot.

Sick, evil, mother-fuckers.
That applies to anyone who thinks beating infants is a reasonable way to raise children.

@jesus-face tortilla, I said that my family is largely conservative Christian. I am an atheist, so my influence on church affairs is pretty much nil.

I'd like to whip these motherfuckers and hold them upside down under running water when they show signs of distress, repeating the process several times a day for 10 years. If they accidentally drown before that 10 years is over, oh well.

Knowing that I live in the same country as these monsters makes me ashamed to be Canadian. Especially when I haven't heard anything about the government putting a stop to it!

Some Mormon fathers need to be spanked and watered every day for a few years. Perhaps spanked with an axe handle and watered with a fire hose.
Edit: John the atheist wins.

It's news like this that make me fervently hope that I'm wrong and that there is an afterlife, and that there'll be a truly just god meting out eternal punishments and eternal rewards when you get there.

I kinda hope this is not actually true. Otherwise, some people need to be violently modified with a baseball bat.

Unfortunately, a significant amount of abusive behaviour seems to be learned and self-perpetuating.
Memetics can be a real bitch.

Yeah, but this isn't exactly new news now is it? .....Though the more traditional aqueous method of ruining a baby's life way before they have any intellectual imput of their own was called something else..... um, baptism?

@snide: Did you seriously just equate a light splash of water on the head to fucking torture? Please, please be a troll.

@rikalous
was more going for the 'water-based behavioural modification' similarities angle, with a light sneer. tbh, I didn't feel the need to type out my thoughts on the parents - that kinda rage has been done enough already on theses pages. makes me a demi-semi-troll who has never drowned a baby at best.

That's disgusting. They're babies; the only way they can tell you they need/want something is by crying, you idiots.
