Using fear as a method of teaching is very counterproductive. During fight-or-flight mode there tends to be a numbing effect on learning. This mother is just taking out her anger on the child--she doesn't care about actually helping his behavioral issues (which probably aren't that abnormal).This kind of parenting teachings kids to behave well out of the fear of getting caught, not for the sake of being good (this can cause serious behavioral problems down the road).
