Those pictures are pretty disturbing

And weren't they taken a week after the punishment (i.e. he still had those injuries that long after)?

Once again a small, vocal minority driving societal behavior.

Seems as if a few dedicated activists with Facebook and Twitter accounts can make the society dance like a marionette on strings.

If they where taken a week after he was with his father, those where NOT from the beating he gave him. Those are too fresh to be a week old. Those are welts. The welts would have turned to a yellow or purple hue within a couple days.

Looks to me like a couple added for effect prior to the picture being taken. Is someone in a dispute over child support?

Did anyone consider the possibility that Adrian Peterson was trying to send a message to Baby Mama rather than discipline the 4-year-old? I believe he sent her a message afterward detailing all the damage. He must resent paying that child support and maybe having to have the kid visit and mix with his “real kids”? He hadn’t even met the 2-year-old son (by another Baby Mama) who was killed last year.

I decided to look it up. The pics are from 4 days after.

I have no fundamental problem with spankings, etc. That said, the issue is not child support or anything else - it's Peterson going waaaay overboard. You don't beat a kid.

No excuses for Peterson on my end.

He has at least 7 kids from 5 women. He is better off being neutered...

You want to use a wooden spoon. My grandma was a pro.

My dad used his Pledge Paddle from his college fraternity. He actually broke it on my brothers buttocks and he deserved it too.

Don’t use the oranges. You can cause p p p p permanent damage.

Your parents done Good! They also seemed to have accomplished all that without the input and opinions of thousands of busybodies that lacked skin in the game.

With the help of the national media...
