Adrian Peterson indicted for child abuse

ouch...

 

I agree. While AP likely went too far, his actions may be a product of cultural upbringing (wasn't he raised in the backwoods of East Texas? ). Indeed, he gave a lot of detail to the police, fully believing the beating was justified.

 

Someone call Steve Wilkos. We need a lie detector test.

 

If the push results in the other kid breaking his arm . . .everyone would be crying little deviant etc

If this kid did not get punished .. . . everyone would be crying Petersen doens't care ... deadbeat dad . . .weekend dad . .. privileged child . .. blah blah blah

He did basically what I would have done.
spanked that *ss . . .. you don't push other kids

better a spanking now than some cops trying to kill him or jail him later

Vegas made a call. . ..

 

Rice married her after that. I'm sure he'd tell you he was sorry and felt bad and all that, much like AP did.

The only difference is that woman also struck her head on a metal rail, so that made things a lot worse. AP's situation basically stopped after "the punch". Both are family abuse because they went too far. Rice may have hit harder or more bluntly, but he also hit a grown adult, AP hit a 4 year with his pants down. I'd say that "balances out."

 

Bunch of role models going down this week.

I wonder when the "Watt beating up a homeless man" story will leak

 

Im sure those excessive welts was from fightin the switch. Dont Fight The Switch!

 

if the slope keeps getting lower they'll bust Watt for parking in a handicapped spot.

 

I can just imagine JJ cutting someone off for the spot at HEB, and jumping out of his truck and screaming, "SHUT YOU DOWN!" :grin:

 

Good job in convincing yourself, let me know when they uncover the tape where AP punches his kid in the face.

Parents have the right to discipline their kids, to what extent is what the present public society is trying to define onto other people, I bet the line where child discipline/child abuse was different 10/20 years ago.

I've never heard punching your significant other in the face was culturally accepted, even 20 years ago. Maybe in some backwards country.

So it's ok, as long as it was culturally accepted at some point? I'm not sure you want to go down that road....

 

More like "those that hit their kids and those that don't"

 

I'm genuinely shocked how many people that don't know what a switch is.

I never got the switch, but I knew enough who did to fear the switch. Usually you had to retrieve the switch yourself

 

I got beat worse than the photos as a kid, and I honestly think it made me a better person.

Not resentment at all at my parents for giving me the "switch."

 

I'm not against corporal punishment, but if you're not controlled about it letting your kids legs and nuts get welts over it, then that crosses the line between disciplining and abuse.

As far as I'm concerned, there should be some process for the kid to make sense of the punishment without fearing or delivering excessive punishment as a consequence of his or other people's actions.

 

Umm so child discipline from parents should never be culturally accepted?

I'm not sure you understand what the parents' role and responsibility to their kids and the totally different issue where 2 adults have a disagreement and the physically bigger adult takes advantage of that to end the disagreement violently.
