What did Peterson do? He told his four year old to “pick me a switch” and proceeded to give him a whippin’ with it on the legs

AND the hands.. AND the back.. AND the scotum...

neglecting to feed, clothe, or ash him, I’m not a child abuser.

I never ashed my kids and they turned out just fine.

Never knew I was supposed to be ashing them, in fact.

I believe him when he says he is not a child abuser. I think he’s just a dad.

Yep... a real Dad of the Year:

I had a paddle, too. It sat on top of the refrigerator and was NEVER used. I threatened but the kids were very scared of that ominous paddle (as my son told me 20 years later).

If my kids acted up, all it took was A swat on their behind, on top of the diaper of clothing. It served more to startle them. Seemed to work for us.... both children are very productive and never came back home to live with us as adults!

“I’m not a child abuser. Neither is Adrian Peterson. He made a mistake, and repented of it. That’s parenting. It’s not child abuse”

No the author is a moron and Peterson is a child abuser. It looks like he made a “mistake” and beat his other four year old from a different baby mama til the kid had a head wound and has a permanent scar over his eyelid.

If your parents “spanked” you as a child as mine did from time to time you know the difference between a spanking and a beating. I never had any marks left on me and have no permanent scars.

If your parents beat you as child like Peterson beat his four year old than yes your parents were child abusers.

Well said. Most liberals I know that want to control how you discipline your children have never had any. I think parenting (besides paying taxes and working for a living) is one of the key factors that converts a liberal to a conservative.

I remember what my kids pediatrician said about spanking: the first one is for the child. The rest are for you.

I found that to be good advice.

This is a bloody shirt moment for the libs against parental rights. They don’t care about the child; they just want to take custody of the children.

Meanwhile Planned Parenthood and California schools are encouraging teens to engage in BDSM, choking, spanking, etc to to learn about safe words because they’ll say “’no’ doesn’t always mean ‘NO!”.

Our culture is royally f***ed.

PP did not learn very well from the switch whoopings he got as a child. If he had, he would not have a pile of children with a pile of women scattered all over the place. Is there no one is this man’s life who cares enough about him to teach him to keep his thing in his pants until he is ready for the commitment needed to have children? And what of these women?

The NFL could do the world a favor and start screening their potential employees based on morals. I bet you would see some behavior changes trickle down.

After I reread my post and pondered it, I had a good laugh at the thought of the NFL, college football world, and even high school football world dealing with the morals and what not of players. Hahahahaha. You should hear the dads of talented six year olds and how they berate their sons for not wanting to be clobbered and tackled every day of the week. It is crazy for sure.

Peterson is not a husband or a father. He’s a sperm donor with baby mamas and offspring stashed in various locations. Recall he learned of one of his “oat plants” just last year, mere weeks before the child was beaten to death by the mother’s boyfriend. What he does represent is the complete collapse of the family among the blacks, and the near collapse of the American family in our society.

My father whipped the three boys with a brown leather belt. My mother hit us with a wooden spoon and washed out our mouths with soap. Only my sister was spared the severest punishment. My parents had the right, because we were a stable, and yes, loving family. As only an occasional presence in his offspring’s lives, Peterson does not have the right to administer corporal punishment.

I can’t stand Peterson not because of his “switching”, but because he is a douchebag who sired at least 7 kids to 7 different baby mommas in 5 states. One of his young “sons” was murdered last year, and Peterson didn’t even know it was his until after the crime! He is despicable.

***He told his four year old to “pick me a switch” and proceeded to give him a whippin’ with it on the legs. ***

But, but the news media said he hit his boy with a TREE BRANCH!
Who of us has not been whipped with a switch or a belt. Some times we deserved it some times we didn’t. When momma said “Go out and cut me a switch!” we knew we were in for it!

I remember an old gun writer who blamed the current crime wave, in his time, on the safety razor as it did away with the razor strap, which used to be used in place of a belt on kid’s behinds.

Any and every person who defends Peterson in any way is an ignorant POS.
