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...The full story is at the Montreal Gazette, via Get Cynical. (In all fairness we should note that this testimony was presented during the course of a custody trial).
"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."
Outside the courthouse, Jessop said water torture is common enough that there doesn't seem any shame attached to the practice...
