| 0:06.1 | Hey, the folks, it is Saturday, June 27th, and yes, parenting sometimes means you have to punish. |
| 0:14.2 | But when does that cross over into abuse? |
| 0:18.0 | Well, maybe when you post the punishment online for the world to see. And that is what |
| 0:24.0 | has a former NFL pro bowler, the center of everybody's attention right now with that. Welcome |
