Barkley is remembering how it was done 40 years ago, not now. But even then, the marks Peterson left on a four year old were too much. Peterson lost a child to an abusive boyfriend of his baby mamma just a year ago and then he beats his kid? He’s a pathetic excuse for a father

Agree. No four year old should be switched multiple times until he bleeds. Nobody should be subjected to that.

A firm swat to the butt, open handed, one time worked for me.

An adult who loves their child would not beat them that many times to the point of bleeding. I don’t care how old the kid is - that’s not right.

That’s a cute argument, but facile. Regardless of how you judge the appropriateness of what Peterson did, while quite painful a switch has essentially zero chance of deep physical wounds, much less fatal ones.
