Kids don't reason until they are around 7. Chances are all these boys are learning is that a big person can beat up little persons and that's OK. What's sad about the whole thing is that 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 don't think Peterson deserves prison yet. But if he does not get help he will seriously hurt and possibly kill one of these kids.

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.
