There is nothing a 4 yr old could do that should lead to an adult whipping the tar out of the child. I don’t care if it is a woman or a man that is doing the beating. It’s not right, isn’t called for and should cause the adult to be charged w a crime. There is a difference between discipline and abuse. Open sores and bruising a week after the switching? That is abuse.
This incident has nothing to do w football...but we are hearing about it because the father is in the NFL. If the league isn’t careful....they may well get the odious rep that the NBA has due to their thug players.
The incident that led to Peterson using the switch on his four-year-old son was that the son wanted the video game controller and had pushed another boy out of the way to get it.
