I gotta say that although I don't know too much about Peterson, I always thought he was one of a the good ones.
I don't get how someone with millions who can afford to and probably does have a nanny, can't just pass the little trouble maker off instead of leaving open welts on a four year old. Really puzzling.
Peterson is "one of the good ones" Good people sometimes do bad things. I think peterson thought he was doing the right thing by disciplining his child. It was the way he was disciplined. Counselors will tell you that if you discipline your child by spsnking, use your hand.
I believe in corporal punishment. It should not be often necessary and you don't need to be severe. You are just getting the message across. I think Peterson will be fine with counseling. I also think this was really bad timing! If he is otherwise the good person and good parent that many believe he is, I hope he gets the opportunity to correct the situation.
