Is This Child Discipline Or Child Abuse? [Video]

A father found this video on his son's iPad and posted the video on YouTube.

In the video posted by the sons father you can see (and unfortunately hear) this mother recording herself singing a song. Around the 1:06 mark you can hear her son spit out a sucker. Her reaction to her son spitting the sucker is what makes this video very disturbing.

Before you watch here is the description of the video....

"I found this video on my son's I pad that was obviously recorded by his mother. I apologize for the horrible singing, but watch and listen after the 1 minute mark. You will hear her smacking my son and her other son, and the God awful things she screams at my poor son. My son watched this with me and he was terrified his mother would find out I watched this and that he would be hit again. He said she hits him when she is mad. Nobody's kid deserves this. I took this to court today, and once again our wonderful Kitsap County judges did NOTHING. They basically told me too bad. If this was a female complaining about the father, the father would be arrested. I am so so so so sad for my son. Please watch this and share this. I want this to go viral. I want the news sources to find out about this. I want to change the discrimination against men in Kitsap County. We are supposed to be equal, but if you are the man and you have a concern for your child, good luck getting them to do anything about it!"

This video makes me extremely uncomfortable. There are certain things you should never say to your children. "I'm a single parent! I don't have a daddy to help me!" proves to me that this woman has no problem talking openly about her drama with the father of her child.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you consider this child discipline or child abuse?
