Adrian Peterson reportedly indicted for child abuse

[Raid]

You're wasting your time. There's apparently a sizable pro-child abuse crowd in this forum.

It appears so. it's the old 'I got hit as a kid and I'm normal' syndrome.

Just because he was disciplined that way doesn't matter. Once you're an adult you have the ability to choose how you act.

Believe it or not, there's a large segment of the population that doesn't have a problem with corporal punishment and don't want to see the government interfering with how they discipline their kids. I don't agree with it but that's just how it is. It's a complex issue.

I'm not opposed to corporal punishment, however we collectively have to draw the line somewhere concerning where discipline ends and abuse begins. I think concerning a 4 year old there is overwhelming agreement if you hit them and cause injury it is excessive and abusive.

Geeze...and what's your next step if THAT doesn't work? Seriously.

A kiss on the forehead, and a trophy of some sort?

Peterson is being so direct and open about this that the only conclusion you can draw is that's he's ignorant. And that he needs to be educated with classes.

Ohhhhhhh,....... he's ignorant.

He compared NFL player to slaves a couple years back.

Ha. Forgot about that.

He's going to plead not guilty. It's a felony charge. All I know is if you plead not guilty to a felony charge and you are convicted your ass is grass.

And we have a Pussy crowd who think whooping your children is child abuse.

OK, reading more apparently his kid is saying this was common and that he was afraid AP was gonna punch him in the face. If that's the case, it establishes a pattern of abuse and means he gets jail time.

I don't have all the answers, but I do have a lot of questions. How many of you have had a 13 year old flip you off or watched them hanging around in malls on Monday nights when they should be at home and wondered where their parents were.

I don't advocate child abuse but as a society we have generally swung too far the other way. If you want your kids to turn out right, you need to spend appropriate time with them, and yes, they are going to need discipline from time to time and that may come in the form of a swat on the butt every now and again.

My parents were old school and cuffed me in the head when I needed it, but they worked hard and put me through college and never stopped loving me. I am a firm hater of the media now for the circus they tend to turn things in to. I would love to see the spotlight turned to writers every now and again. Bet their lives aren't so noble.

Just sayin'

Is that from the same god who sent his only son to be crucified?

But how dumb can Peterson be though? I read too. You would think he wouldn't be an open book for the authorities if he was an abuser.

It's so unfair how the media targets millionaire athletes charged with violent felonies!

I cant stand people who think the parents that dont believe in beating their children are pussies. Yeah, youre a real tough guy cause you beat 4 year old babies.

Its disgusting how macho people think they are. Im not an expert but I do know if you read any dissertation by a Doctoral candidate they will ALL tell you hitting your child does NOTHING to change their behavior. A 4 year old brain isnt developed enough to understand the situation. Evidently all they learn is if you do something someone bigger then you doesnt like then they get to physically and emotionally hurt you.

I couldnt even fathom ever hitting my kid. I love her more then life itself. There is nothing she could do at four where I'd leave bruises all over her body and inflict wounds that are still bleeding days later.

Youre really a bad ass for kicking the shit out of your kid Lakers+USC

He can be an abuser and not think that he is one: My guess is most child abusers don't think they're being abusive.

As the saying goes, prisons are filled with "innocent" men.

Corporal punishment put me line. But what do I know? I'm not a quack.

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

Man, any event or issue and people dash to the extremes. It's suffocating.
