Maybe he and Adrian Peterson can get shared custody of one another and beat each other silly.

Who is Dwight Howard?

Is another lesser known brother of Ron Howard?

Dwight Howard is under criminal investigation for child abuse ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ. We've learned the Cobb County PD in Georgia now has an active criminal investigation into allegations he beat his 6-year-old son Braylon with a belt buckle.

Talk about burying the lede.
Is this guy a talk show host, a politician, a sports figure etc.-Tom

I know nothing about sports figures, but getting the strap is not child abuse.Getting the strap is a whoopin' or a lickin' ... not a beating

Beating is with your fists, like I beat him to a pulp

THEN I read this;

" ... the TMZ Sports story summarizing a doctor's findings that Howard committed child abuse."

And remembered when doctors were asked (or mandated?) to collect data about people that had nothing to do with the flu ... do you have guns in the house/ how often do you masturbate ? etc.

So some doctor used the word and concept of beating, called it child abuse, reported it .... when all the kid got was a lickin'


Unfortunately, lawyers will argue this in Latin instead of English and because no one remembers gettin' a lickin' (it sort'a ended in the fifties .. ), no one will (can) explain it as such

Newspeak will be used to define and explain social engineering rather than explaining a kid got disciplined.

The correct answer from Dwight Howard and anyone else in this position, is MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. Willow switches and belts were the tools of parenting a thousand generations. Only now, do we have a truly EVIL 2 or 3 generations alive on this Earth at one time. Why is that? No discipline at all, period. They have no fear, therefore no respect.

"my dad did it to me " justification ? really?

My pop beat me as a child...with a belt buckle and his hand - with hand print welts while visiting the Dr the very next day, the Dr asked "who did that" - I replied "Dad"....to which the Dr said I "deserved" it....I was 9..it was 1970

he stopped when I reached 15...turning to verbal and emotional abuse instead...it continues today, I'm 52

I can only pray for that kid

We’re confusing two words together to create a stigma. It is intentional.

Hitting and spanking.
There’s a difference.
Hitting is bad.
