This made me remember when I was a kid and I tried eating soap. My parents didn't punish me, but I was just curious to see what it was like after seeing it in a movie. I think it was A Christmast Story. I was a strange kid I guess.

...

A mother and her boyfriend were jailed over the weekend after Palm Bay police said an 8-year-old girl was forced to eat soap after uttering an obscene word.

 

The girl, who police said suffered an allergic reaction, has been removed from the couple’s home by the Department of Children and Families, along with her 18-month-old sibling.

 

Wilfredo Rivera, 41, and Adriyanna Herdener, 32, were charged with neglect of a child and child abuse after police were called to a home in the 2300 block of Shenadoah Drive to investigate the incident.

I remember at day care when I was a kid that they made this one kid eat liquid soap, and when the teacher bent over to look to see if he had soap in his mouth, he spit it right in her face. That kid was craazzy.

He also carved his name in a church pew (my day care was in the bottom of a church), broke a toilet seat, chased a teacher with an aluminum bat, and ran away from day care like a half dozen times.
