It may not be as bad as it seems. The pressure isn't much at these car washes IF she did it on LOW and didn't actually pull the trigger as was claimed in the article. I rinse my hands in the stream all the time at the car wash AS LONG AS It IS ON LOW.

Still, this is no way to treat a little child. I think mom needs a little therapy and after this, her daughter likely does as well.

Therapy might help. She should also get a pressure washer for home, where there aren't any cameras.

Exclamation *** Do onto others as you'd have them do unto you... ***

We've got a "Wave-A-Wand" next to our work...when they change out the nozzles for new ones, the p.s.i. goes up by 50%.

If the water, coming out of those nozzles can "erode" the tips bad enough to require replacing...maybe the mother needs a "wanding" to get it into her skull that that type of punishment MIGHT NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ANY AGE, regardless whether she got the respect she needed or not.

BESIDES, where did the little three-year-old LEARN to dish out the disrespect?

FROM MOM MAYBE?

I've yet to meet the child that learned to swear, spit, cuss and generally become a hellion (sp?) all on their own...

Enviromental reasons?

NOPE. PARENT(S) AND THOSE THE PARENT(S) HANG WITH.

It's no excuse but you can see that she's not using the full blast. I myself can barely control the wand with one hand on high pressure not to mention that it would be putting out quite a blast of mist that you just don't see in the video.
