A former school teacher in the mother's home country of Iran testified burning the flesh of disobedient children is an accepted punishment in lower classes of third world countries.

You realize, of course, that where she comes from, women are treated in that way and worse as a matter of routine day-to-day life.

From what I've heard that witness was hand-picked. That sort of punishment may have been used in Iran but it certainly isn't considered acceptable.
