Supernanny Jo Frost's reality TV crew filmed a father 'disciplining' his son with a belt after the youngster was sent to his room.
The footage was filmed by CCTV cameras installed in the Spivey family's home in Gwinnett County, Georgia last October.
While reviewing the footage, researchers saw the incident between Chris Spivey and his son Marcus which began in the family's living room.
The nine-year-old boy is told to go to his room over an allegation he had used his father's cell phone charger without permission.
The youngster is shown making his way slowly up the stairs.
But shockingly, Spivey stands up from his couch and removes his leather belt before following his son upstairs.
The youngster can be heard crying in the room but the footage, which was broadcast on the UP channel last night, does not show any beating.
The video was part of the new series 'Jo Frost: Nanny On Tour'

Haha! I got the spoon as well. One time the the spoon broke, which caused me to laugh..boy that was a mistake. :)
Nanny-State tactics are to be expected.
Our mom had a wooden ruler with a metal edge. Keep away from those sharp corners!
Belly laugh anecdote!
All three of us turned our to be normal, productive adults and we loved our mom and dad very much until they died. I personally never held any animosity towards my dad for spanking me with a belt because I came to learn that I deserved it. When I got older, I'm realized how smart my folks were and was glad they raised us to stay out of trouble.
That being said, even though the spankings were minimal and not permanently hurtful, in today's world, my dad would have been arrested for domestic child abuse and thrown in jail. We would have been taken over by Child Protective Services and put into a foster care home. My parents would have had trouble convincing the state to return us to them. I know two from high school who lived in foster care homes and they were beaten and mistreated by their foster parents. The state's solution didn't seem to work any better.
Nanny state sticking their noses into places only parents should be allowed to go.
I remember being disciplined with a belt several times.
