Adrian Peterson indicted in child injury case...

[pavyracer]

I don't think anyone is not condoning disciplining a child. We are talking about violent abuse of a 4 year old.

If you are already violently beating a 4 year old, then how much worse do you have to beat them when they are 8?

That's the whole idea. You do not want the child to become unresponsive to discipline at 8 so you do what you have to do at 4 to correct that behavior.

It's like training a dog not to bite people. Much easier to train a one year old dog than a 5 year old dog not to bite people. Then you end up shooting the dog because the dog bit a child.

[Monitor-Tan]

He's going to get counseling, community service with kids, fine, some suspension but that's about it. He's not going to go to prison.

[pavyracer]

Sounds like you believe hitting is the only solution to undisciplined kids.

I never hit my kids but is not my business how AP wants to discipline his. Some kids only respond to being hit and the parent should have the right to raise his kids the way he wants.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

Dog Killings with nasty pit bulls is nothing compared to these losers

Vick is a saint

the difference is the kid has a voice where he can explain what happened, the dead and the abused dogs can't talk.

vick a saint? jesus fukking christ stfu!!!

[Sdotbold]

It's not about ratting on his parent. The child had a doctor's appointment already scheduled for when he returned to Minnesota. Peterson said himself that if he'd thought he had done anything wrong he wouldn't have let the kid on the plane. Unless the child had been coaxed to lie - which he wouldn't have been because again, Adrian saw nothing wrong with what he did - then a 4 year old is obviously going to tell the truth when the doctor asked him what happened. Again, the child was four years old. Yes children need discipline but taking your 4 year old to your designated "whooping room", shoving leaves in his mouth and whipping him to the point that he has multiple cuts and welts all over his body not only that day but a week later is not "discipline". It's child abuse. For every story of a person turning out your definition of fine despite being whipped there is another of someone not turning out ok. Prisons are full of people who would've experienced the same type of beatings you did.

Prisons are actually filled with men who had no father here in America. I don't condone what he did at all though. Definitely went overboard.

Is that why you scream in your videos all the time? Daddy beat you with a palm branch?

I am so sick of hearing how this is engrained into people's culture. It's the way it is. Load of whoreshit.

im counting my blessings I didn't grow up in some southern trash family.

This was posted on a Viking message board

Remember AP said he hit the 4 year old 15-20 times and the four year old told police AP put leaves in his mouth, In this video the older kid has a rag in his mouth and gets hit only 5-7 times and its a movie not real..

[Gonz312]

Haven't read through everything here so I'm not sure if the pictures were posted but they were earlier in the day on some sites. No 4 yr old kid should have those kind of marks from being "disciplined". It's pretty clear why the Doctor contacted the authorities about it. I fully condone spanking and the sorts, but those marks showed just how over the top APs idea of discipline is.

We're thankful you didn't grow up here either, pal.

Although you may have not turned out quite so gay if you had.

Food for thought....

[King Mayan]

you put a gun to your kids head while you were trying fukk your aunt.

[opie1988]

Well Shari where I grew up moms would encourage other adults to discipline us if we got out of line while in their supervision, other moms would do the same I know what you mean though.

I always tell my daughters teachers to please spank her, because I can't bring myself to ever do it.

I've threatened her about 2000 times, and I honestly believe she's now well aware that in all reality...I ain't gonna do shit!!

I'm screwed

[pavyracer]

People do not realize that in order to make it to the NFL as the best running back in history and come back from 2 horrific knee injuries you need to have tremendous mental toughness which AP acquired while being hit with a switch as a child. This is what made him who he is now. Tough as steel!

I'll bust you up!

[opie1988]

I've probably gotten the worst beatings in this thread and I would never repeat the same to my kids.. I do spank their ass with my hand though.

I assume you're referring to the beating I gave you at the Vegas Bash. I told you then I admit I went a little too far.

But, as I think we can both agree, you didn't cause anymore trouble that weekend. So, all in all, lesson learned. Amirite??

[Carouselambra]

Did AP beat his child with a twitch to teach a lesson or to channel/harness his own hatred or frustration or anger? To me it sounds of the latter, that this went beyond the scope of positive punishment in the sense of negative reinforcement (to prevent the child to commit the behavior in the past lest he/he is beat with a twitch). Though this is a learnt behavior from AP since he was whacked with it as a child, theres countless other ways to punish a child, the least if which is through bodily harm. Thats a slavemaster's mentality.

[shari91]

Prisons are actually filled with men who had no father here in America. I don't condone what he did at all though. Definitely went overboard.

And they're filled with men who did have fathers. Just like they're filled with people who were beaten as a kid and those who weren't. And filled with people who weren't beaten by their dad whether he was in the picture or not but were by their mom or grandmother. My point was to those who say "I was beat as a kid and look how well I turned out". We can easily flip that and say "I wasn't beaten as a kid and look how well I turned out". Beating your child is not some guarantee that your kid is going to grow up with respect for authority and be a law-abiding citizen.

[jjgold]

Studies have shown beating your child will have a negative impact on him and there is a chance he'll be a wife abuser or kid abuser

Look at King Tut he was beat as a child and only wants to do is resort to a life of crime and violence

[King Mayan]

My dad whooped my ass so now I must whoop jj's and Opies ass...

Common sense

Fixed it for you

[shari91]

So unless you believe that your daughters are going to grow up as criminals or just overall dregs on society, then we're in agreement that it's not necessary to beat the shit out of one's kid in order for them to respect you as their father or to keep them out of prison. Completely opposite to how you grew up from the sounds of it but yet the same result. Hmmm....

[jjgold]

All beating a child is it showing power over them

You do not own your child and have no right to touch them

A lot of people that hit kids have power syndrome

Cowards hit woman and children

I don't want to sound callous or anything, but who cares about beating kids...i just wanna know how i can profit from this.

[Snowball]

A small branch from a tree.

Typically, especially if you're from the South, you would be told to "fetch your own switch", which was done to heighten the fear of the whoopin you had coming.

thanks opie. being from new england i don't know anything about these southern phrases
i thought he was hitting the kid with a light switch.
he didn't even use a belt. this is worse. NFL flag football league drama never ends.
F them.

[big_john]

kid was 4 with open lacerations, it's child abuse.

Thats what they call it now a days BUT I HAVE HAD MANY of Hickorys around my ass and legs when i was growing up.with blood running down my legs , bk then it wasnt child abuse , but now a days they wont let that go on.

[Kermit]

Only because if you set blood running down the legs as the standard, you'll get even crazier people that will go harder.

That sounds nice in theory, but certainly there has to be a line drawn somewhere, right? Not saying he crossed the line, we'll have to wait for all the facts, but certainly there is a line you can't cross. Something short of death or dismemberment.

[DrGame]

I think the most important part of this discussion is the fact the kid is only 4 years old. He didn't just strike him once or twice to let the kid know what would happen if he kept acting up - he went "all day" on the kid. That is abuse.

seriously bro ?i turned out all right , and to tell you the truth , it helped me from being in prison , But doing this to a 4 year old isnt right at all , there not at the age to really know right from wrong .

[WWCD]

I personally don't think a 4 year old should ever be beaten bad enough to leave marks like that. Hell, what age would that be considered acceptable? I spank mine when it is really needed and I have exhausted all other efforts. Mine is 6 and I could never imagine using force like that. That's just nuts.

From the report I read it was the kid shoving one if his other kids over a video game.

Maybe it's roid rage.
