I wouldn’t use corporal punishment but I would not criticize a parent who as a last resort occasionally spanks a child. However, Adrian Peterson beat his child (one of many that he does not have custody of) with an object that broke the skin in multiple places - including the genitals - and the wounds were still evident a week later. Child abuse, plain and simple. Throw him in prison.

Someone should explain to the author it is better to remain silent and allow others to speculate about the stupidity of the author, then to talk and confirm everybody’s suspicions.

Couldn't agree more. We are talking about a four year old. Peterson is a huge, powerful man.

Inclined to agree. What could a four-year-old have done to deserve such a beating?
