I applaud him for caring as a Father to correct a wrong that he saw. My only gripe is the kid was only 4. We didn't get it like that till we were between ages of 7-11. after 11 punishments were handled differently like extra chores or losing a luxury item for a period of time.
Petersen is damned if he does as a Father and damned of he doesn't.
Not really sure I'd classify him as a father. I think sperm donor is more apropo.

The guy has 7 kids by 5 different women in 5 different states. He rarely even sees these kids.

I find zero nobility in beating some little kid under the guise of being a good father. If you want to be a good dad, try being there on a daily basis for your kids. Setting a daily example of what a man is supposed to be like.

Fukk Adrian Peterson.
