‘it was because one little boy pushed another child, not sure older or younger off a video motorcycle game. Really? That warrants all this?’

I hadn’t realized it was such a minor offense. Welts all over the kid—including his scrotum—for nothing more serious than that? It’s heart-wrenching.

You’ve got these innocent little kids, and sure they should be disciplined. But they should be loved too—not by a sperm donor but by a live-in father. Instead they get beaten severely for the smallest offense. & as you said in a prior post, that matures into anger, & anger gets vented in violence. That is not the result good discipline brings about.

I had to get out of Domestic Relations because of my own anger issues. When I was younger I was afraid I was going to snap and take one of these knuckleheads out!

I have seen it way to often. Beat the kid and he sure as heck will leave you alone for awhile. It's sickening. But this is what happens when you have 40 years of stupid people raising stupid people. Adrian Peterson may have gotten a beating as a kid, but he also had a talent for football. I am pretty sure everybody kissed his butt after that was discovered. He probably don't know better either which is why I am not demonizing him. But he needs help!
