I have popped mine in the mouth a handful of times and I think if you ask them, they will tell you that was better than taking a trip over my lap. I believe most parents who do this intend to shock rather than hurt. I don't consider the times I've popped them in the mouth to be stellar parenting moments but equally so I don't consider them abusive.
