Great week for the nfl.
Great week for the nfl.
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...Still trying to understand what allegation is being made.
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.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?!!"
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.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.
See if you can get it before a grand jury.I got spanked plenty of times when I was younger with a wooden spoon and a belt. I'm wondering if he took it too far...
Well I deserved 96% of them. [emoji6]See if you can get it before a grand jury.
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...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?!!"
if he would've beat an adult like that he'd be in jail. there is a difference between spanking and beating.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.

Agreed. He did take it far. I just think mother and father should have handled it.if he would've beat an adult like that he'd be in jail. there is a difference between spanking and beating.
