** The Mann family falls under this before Jo's intervention; Mom Melissa is especially guilty. They spank their children forcefully with wooden spoons, wooden forks, and their hands. Melissa explains their church advocates this, and constantly says, "Trust and obey" before spanking a child (while simultaneously saying "I forgive you" and spanking more). Melissa also has some disturbing things to say about Naomi in particular, such as, "I want to smack her across the mouth" and "I don't like my daughter, I don't want her in my house."

* SoapPunishment: One mother used a squirt bottle of soap to discipline her son for telling his brother to "smell his own buttcrack". Jo was ''[[WhatTheHellHero horrified]]'', and tried to convince the mother that she was invoking DisproportionateRetribution and poisoning the boy. Sadly, the mother's ego was too over-inflated, and she saw it as a way to command the respect she thinks she deserves, causing Jo and the mother to cuss each other out. And her poor husband sits there suffering. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWFudcOHwJ8 It really has to be seen to be believed.]]
