The jurywas shown a video in which Jessica Beagley poured spicy sauce into her son's mouth.
The court heard that Jessica Beagley recorded the video for a TV show called Doctor Phil, in which parents seek help over child behaviour issues.
Prosecutors said Beagley asked her 10-year-old daughter to record footage, in which she confronts her adopted son about his behaviour, and then pours hot sauce into his mouth.
In the video, which Beagley recorded for a programme segment called "Mommy Confessions", she could also be seen forcing the screaming seven-year-old boy into a cold shower.
Jessica Beagley showed no emotion when the jury announced its verdict.
Jessica Beagley could be jailed for up to a year or fined up to $10,000 when she is sentenced on Monday.

Good for her. She's desperate to be in a reality show without considering the child's welfare. I don't get it why people do everything just for fame or something like this even if they end up using people who are close to them. I do believe that we don't have to put down people to lift ourselves up. Wish she gets what she wants - to be in TV,unfortunately it's bec.of her violence.
