Vikings RB Adrian Peterson Indicted On Charges Of Reckless/Negligent Injury To A Child

I know plenty of people who got switched as kids and turned out just fine. This is not as big of a deal as it's being made out to be.

 

does it make it right not to whip a child and let that child grow up thinking bad behavior is acceptable or that it doesn't deserve punishment. There were no broken bones as far as I know. I have seen some children act horribly, enough to be whipped like that. Telling their parents to phuck off and stuff. Hit another child for no reason only because they wanted to.

 

There's no way this is acceptable.

 

I Smacked my kids asses plenty of time,my mama used to tear me up with a switch too,but my parents never drew blood when dishing out punishment and i did not either.He hit this kid all over his legs and also hit him in the nuts which they say also drew blood.this is way past acceptable. And let's not forget,last year one of petersen's kids got killed as a result of child abuse last year so you would think he had enough sense to not take his punishment to this extreme. To me,this is a lot worse than what rice did or what the two guys for the 49ers did.

 

Bet that little crap won't shove his brother over a video game again, tho.

 

damn straight. or maybe he will be the Vikings on Madden 15.

 

I think the biggest lesson to be learned here is that AP needs to work on his technique, thats sloppy switch work. He clearly chose one that was too flexible and snappy, and he was obviously swinging a touch hard. He'll get there with some practice though, its really unfair of us to be judging him so harshly on his first go of it. He'll get better, just give him a chance.

 

but I think his son will be a free agent after this year.

 

my grandma could pick out the perfect switch and pull offf the perfect swing everytime with a switch. she was so masterful at it she'd never leave a mark but would bring tears to your eyes.

 

after sleeping on my comments I feel that my comments were a bit harsh. I know child abuse does exist and there is no place in this world for it and the pictures do seem to indicate that AP went a little too far.

 

I Still think that there is nothing wrong with smacking your kids in the ass when they do something wrong. I smacked my kid's rear ends and my daughter smacks here 18 month old son in the rear end when he needs to be corrected.the vikes are really taking this seriously. this is a statement from a reporter covering them .

 

1. There is spanking and there is beating. This was a beating. Pure and simple.

2. Don't be surprised if Goodell tries to rectify his 2 game suspension of Rice by throwing the book at AP. Especially if he thinks it will help save his job.

 

It won't. Then people will just wonder why Goodell is ok with beating women but not kids.

 

all Goody can do is give him a 6 game vacay. And that was not a beating.

 

dude, that was not a beating. get a grip.

 

Even if blood was drawn?
