Is Adrian Peterson in the wrong?

[5x10]

Bet he'll think twice before he does that in front of his parents next time tho. And he'll stop fighting next time AP tells him to stop.

yeah, he will get abused again
Don't know what to tell you if you don't think ap overreacted with a 4 yr old

I'm not anti spanking, but that's excessive

[phillyfreak7]

If you have to discipline a child using physical force, you are one of two things:

1. A byproduct of this done to you, therefore it's all you know so therefore you do it
2. A mongolien incapable of influencing people with words and probably a pretty horrible and sad human being that you have to hit someone to get your point across.



How to Win Friends and Influence People should be required reading for all human beings. You don't have to EVER hit a child to teach them correct or good behavior. If you think otherwise, you are foolish.

[woahhh]

LOL please don't tell me you think it's harder to beat your child than to teach them otherwise.

I'm going to guess you've no children.

Don't really understand your post. Beating a child doesn't teach them anything. It's not a matter of hard or easy, it's a matter of right/wrong.

I misread your post then, m8. I thought you were saying those you don't do it are taking the easy way out of parenting.

[jaySWAG]

Sounds bad on ap's part, basically he admits it and it looks excessive. I wonder if the vikes plan on deactivating him for the whole season?

[5x10]

No.

Unless disciplining your children puts you in the wrong, in which case every single parent pre 2000s was a horrible parent.

I guess there's no limit to what you can do to a 4 yr old, as long as you label it as discipline

[Vikes723]

this is just beyond me... discipline your kids when they act up and youre considered a "child abuser" for fuk sakes... my parents beat me but it was only when it was fuking needed. not because they just felt like it, parenting is becoming a thing of the past now a days. its sad cause the coming generations are gonna grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth

edit: yes as a vikes fan, im pissed

[Hoop_Dreams]

I'm not a parent, but if I was there are other ways to get your child's behavior to change that don't involve beating the crap out of them.

Beating a child to "teach them a lesson" is lazy parenting.

edit: pretty much repeated what was already said ITT, gj sports misc brahs

[Dysfunqtional]

He went a little hard on that whipping, you don't break the fukin skin when you do that kind of stuff

[5x10]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the news incorrectly reported and it was actually his 11 year old kid?

i initially read it as his 11 yr old son, then 4 yr old
Pics below look like a 4 yr old, especially a son of ap

All day took it a bit too far

[SannaBarBrah]

Fuark mirin 4 year old toughness

I read in one of the articles that the boy didn't cry, and that's why AP kept at it, thinking he wasn't hurting him.

Also, I haven't read anything on articles or in posts about this, but am I the only one thinking he has rage issues because he's not natty and that's how he had his thank you based god knee surgery turnaround, or at the very least, people may begin to question him about that more now than they did when he miracle healed?

It seems as though most people who support abuse were also abused themselves, then go on to justify it by saying they themselves deserved it. You dont ever really hear people who were not abused say, "boy I wish my parents beat me when I was a kid"

Just an observation.

[YellowOnYellow]

Did aps brother die riding a bike and a shoot out happened? Maybe it channeled his anger into this. Boy will no longer push people but ap took it 5 whips too far. Didn't need a switch...you play in the nfl. A slap will do it.

there is a fine line between abuse and discipline man, I got hit but for me doing all the wrong things and my parents who i love very much, made sure i wasnt gonna be doing those stupid things again with discipline. If u really think this is abuse then i dont even know

[Aesthetics4Dayz]

I'm sure ap will be out of the nfl, since rice got out for knocking his wife out. I don't see why they should keep him in the nfl in my honest opinions anyway.

Bro if your parents did to you what AP did before you were in pre-school then yes it was abuse. The kid probably can't even tie his shoes yet and his 240 pound daddy is literally slapping him in the nutts with a stick and stuffing leaves in his mouth.

[Forumite]

If the alleged texts are correct, he was trying to figure a better system to abuse, errrm discipline the 4 year old- those marks, bruising, drawing blood wasn't enough because he never cried.

"He got about five more pops than normal. He didn't drop one tear! So that was another indicator I'll have to try a system with him. Smh he's tough as nails!"

Reading those texts honestly made me wonder how that stupid ass is even able to learn a playbook.

[ImInSaiyan]

lmao the belt beatings. brings me back to the good days.

I obviously wasnt there and that is kind of the point. They are your parents. Its almost like accusing them of being bad parents if you acknowledge something as abuse. Chances are they never took it too far, chances are they thought they were doing whats best for you. That doesnt validate corporal punishment, it explains it sure, but that doesnt make it right. There is no evidence of it being effective. On the contrary, we pretty much know now that it not only doesnt work, but often has a negative affect. Raising a kid is complicated and so is being a good parent, and of course you can be a great parent while still using outdated methods of discipline. Whats best though isnt to let your ego get in the way and think the way YOU do things is best, but rather to look at the evidence of what really is best.

A lot of people in here are saying it would be better if the child was 11 and not 4, but the opposite is really true. An 11 year old should have the emotional development to be reasoned with without resorting to corporal punishment, you can articulate and explain things to an 11 year old, and you can punish them in ways that have a lasting affect without ever raising your hand. A 4 year old seeks instant gratification, and as such it isnt so clear as to if spanking and such works, but it defiantly is better when the child is younger, not older.

AD took it a little to far with the switch but the kid knows not to fuk around anymore. Lol at everyone saying it's wrong to discipline your child

Yeah bro as a parent of a toddler and another otw I'm totally striving towards making my children fear me more than respect me. No one is saying spanking is wrong they are saying beating your pre-schooler till they have welts, blood and bruises is wrong.

NFL - world leaders in domestic violence

Whatever, there are literally thousands of players in the NFL. Take a 2000 person sample of men in their 20's from anywhere and you will find just as much if not more cases of domestic abuse. We just hear about these because they are in the spotlight.

[Forumite]

You wouldn't hear of Tebow doing something like this and yet here we are left in a league with no Tebow.

[TaeBoNinja]

Bet he'll think twice before he does that in front of his parents next time tho. And he'll stop fighting next time AP tells him to stop.

Nope, it only makes him more violent.

I'm interested in where you got the statistics for your sig, m8.

Good job misc. Nice to see that in the ridiculous beliefs held on this website, switching your children until they bleed all over their legs, buttocks, and nuts isn't supported.

AP jr. was still bleeding from open wounds a week later. Tells police he's scared to tell them what happened because his father is going to punch him in the face... again. Took it a little too far he says... lol at everyone thinking it's OK to "discipline" children and then wonder why they become adults who serial kill dogs, beat women, assault people, etc... as adults. If only they just acted like you wanted them too, right? Strong retard.
