Still trying to understand what allegation is being made.
He whipped a boy with a switch/branch from a tree. I know, I know...I'm thinking maybe it wasn't his kid, maybe he caught the kid stealing and was teaching him a lesson...

I think in this case, it's probably another government overreach, but we'll see what comes of it.

Man, if they had this kind of scrutiny when I was a kid, my dad and grandparents wouldn't been locked away for a long time! "Go get a switch!" "Do I need to use my belt?!!"

According to the reports, the child had cuts all on his back, butt, groin, and even scrotum. Peterson claimed he was just giving him a "whooping," but the child told his mother that he was afraid that his daddy was going to punch him in the face. I don't think that this has anything to do with the fact that he spanked the child, but that he went way overboard on a 4 year old.

Really bad week to be an NFL runningback. This to me is far less serious that the ray rice circumstances, but it is borderline child abuse.

The good news for AP is that there shouldn't be a video of this released, so that should minimize the public outrage.

My mom would tell me to go get a limb off that willow bush. I was afraid to get the smallest limb off that ..... Willow bush. She would have made me go back and get another one, so I just got the biggest one I could find and prayed that she wouldn't draw blood.

I read a little bit but didn't read much into where he got hit. I did see pictures though. I think he did go too far. However, that should have been kept between the parents not a grand jury.

Most people know how to become fathers, but they just don't know how to be a father!

Yeah, I had to go get my one also. However, it was always confined to my legs. (Why was I always wearing short pants when I got into trouble? Anyway, sometime when I was around nine or so, she was wearing me out and I looked up at her and started laughing. (I've always had a high threshold.) She then started laughing. We hugged each other and that was the last of that...

Along with having to fetch my own switch, my dad dragged me home by the ears, one day. (Yes, because his dad did the same thing!)

Forget what I did, but I know I never did it again. Guess it worked. (And so you don't have to ask, never had kids.)

if he would've beat an adult like that he'd be in jail. there is a difference between spanking and beating.
