Not abuse

Primarily because it related to the misdeed--he was using his mouth inappropriately and that's what got punished. And it's better than washing his mouth out with soap, which is not a food.

Natural consequenses are all well and good, but it may be that your son didn't care if he was tossed from daycare -- that consequence might have been worse for _you_ than for him.
