"Dr. Phil" Guest Charged with Child Abuse after "Hot Sauce Video" Aired

Frame grab of Jessica Beagley on the "Dr. Phil" show in Nov. 2010 (Anchorage Daily News)

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CBS/AP) An Alaska woman has been charged with child abuse after a video aired during her appearance on the "Dr.Phil" TV show included footage of her disciplining her 7-year-old son, by putting hot sauce in his mouth and forcing him into a cold shower.

The lawyer for 36-year-old Jessica Beagley says she's pleading not guilty. The municipal prosecutor says Beagley's methods were unreasonable.

"She has not done anything that would warrant a criminal charge for child abuse," said William Ingaldson, her attorney. "If this hadn't showed up on 'Dr. Phil,' there wouldn't be anybody saying anything about it."
