Report: Adrian Peterson indicted on child abuse charges

[Smitty]

So... Peterson gets released... Murray wants big money after his contract year.... Peterson willing to take a discount to finish his career in Texas... What do you do?

 

[skidadl]

It looks like Jerry will get his wish....


...in a year when he is reinstated and no longer viable...

 

[Carp]

I think he finishes his career in Minn.

 

[Smitty]

Fwiw I agree, spank your kids -- never out of anger -- when they are young. When they hit double digits in age that is when grounding becomes way more effective.

I got it with a belt maybe 3-4 times in my life. I think bruises maybe once or twice, from my dad.

Mom used a big plastic spoon. Think it was an Italian thing.

I never considered it abuse then and I don't think it would be now either.

So Jerry snitched on him huh?

[Carp]

Damn...that is way the fuck overboard. Wow.

 

[Smitty]

Yeah, not sure there is ever a reason to be hitting a kid in the head. Punching or even slapping are overboard, IMO.

Though to be fair I can't see what's under those bandaids.

I don't think that matters.

You don't hit your kids in the head. Especially kids that little.

Now I have heard of parents slapping kids that have gotten too lippy. I've never done it. And it's usually an older kid in the 9-13 y/o range if I had to guess. But even a slap wouldn't leave a gash/cut that requires bandages.

AP has some real issues that need to be addressed by law enforcement.

I can't find a direct link to the video from Houston that was on the news a few hours ago. Deadspin has it embedded though:

[Carp]

This is a different kid than the one he got with the switch. Damn.

Yeah, this is past normal discipline. He seems to be a piece of shit.

 

[skidadl]

Truly sad stuff.

I want to believe all of this is somehow over exaggerated.

 

[L.T. Fan]

Petersen didn't have the best role model with his father. Not making excuses but he probably really thinks knocking kids around is normal.

I think you're right. He has repeatedly said that the whoopings he took made him a better person and the man that he is today.

 

[Newt]

Didn't one of Petersons kids die last year? Beaten by the moms boyfriend or something?

Yup.

I agree with Ed 1000%. You can't use the "it's how I was raised" argument here.

Nope. This is beyond terrible.
