I'm 22 years old and until 3 years ago I hadn't heard of cold water punishments. I have studied criminology and specifically researched punishment in great detail as part of my degree. I can honestly say I had only ever heard of cold shower punishments being used on slaves, prisoners and previously as a form of psychological treatment/torture, which if I recall correctly was actually the initial intent for cold showers being administered. It became a preferred method of punishment because it doesn't leave physical marks on the body. I had never heard of it being used on children, I suppose in a naive way, I hadn't considered that anybody would WANT to do that to a child. It is such an extreme measure that I didn't think about the idea it would go on behind closed doors, and presumed it was only common in institutions. Although, their house does seem more like a prison than a home. I watched the video of all previous times that cold showers had been mentioned and it worries me that at such a young age, all of their children have not only heard of this but speak of it so casually.
