    They way she phrased that she’s obviously a piece of shit but is standing in corner really considered abusive? That was probably the lightest punishment I got as kid.

      What purpose does it serve and what do you do if the child refuses? The implication is that if you don’t stand in the corner I’ll do something worse, is it not? And the purpose seems like it’s just an expression of authority over the child it’s not going to help them understand why they’re being punished
