What Adrian Peterson did is NOT spanking....it is indeed child abuse. Just because a switch was used on him doesn’t make it anything less. Being beaten with belts and spoons and switches, leaving welts and scars ALL over the body of a FOUR year old is beyond ‘spanking’
Exactly... but did you watch the video?

I used to get spanked with a switch. Sure it left some marks and bruises occassionally but I got more damage from playing football and falling off my bike just the same. All the switch did was make me not want to do whatever I was punished for again. Sorry you just can’t reason with a child like you can with an adult. Getting a spanking is nowhere near abuse. In facts to correct your behavior so you want do the same stupid crap again. Child abuse is when the aggressor intentionally causes harm out of loss of self control, for sexual gratification or other non-healthy types of behaviors that are not in the best interests of the child.
I agree with you. That was not spanking. That was beating the kid then going online and bragging about it. That dude is sick.
I agree. The media is conflating mere spanking with child abuse in order to have discipline outlawed. I once read that the Roman government forbid fathers from punishing their sons. Their logic leads to the conclusion that since rape is wrong, all sex is wrong, with the exception, of course, of sodomy.
