re: Why are people acting like Adrian Peterson was punching his son in the face?

Posted by PrimeTime Money quote: A black eye isn't serious. Just a bruise. Does that make it ok what ray rice did? Punching somebody in the face is dangerous because it could potentially cause many serious injuries which are unpredictable. The act of whipping somebody with a thin tree branch on their backside can only cause a limited amount of injury to the extent of the force used.
First of all, he hit his 4 year old's scrotum with the switch. Not just his backside. You're ok with that?
Second, if you think you need a fricking weapon (essentially) and your hand isn't enough for a 4 year old, then you shouldn't have children.
The punishment was too severe for a 4 year old. How can you not understand that. I think most people agree that if it was a 12 year old it might be ok. Yet you're ok with hitting a 4 year old with a stick. That's too fricking far.
And if you disagree then take a second look at your life. Realize the rules society has put in place and stop abusing your child, a-hole.

People are spoon fed what to feel and how to think now by the media. People are outraged over this because the media tells them they should be. That's why.

What part of AP's child being 4 years old do you not get?
Also, Peterson even said that he can't remember how many times he hit the child. Because he doesn't keep count. Do you think that's acceptable behavior for a grown adult?

There's no justification for what AD did. Period.
The fact that you keep making the same irrelevant point over and over again shows how dense you truly are.
No one is justifying it. People continue to use that word.
Because someone's viewpoint doesn't precisely coincide with yours on this, it must mean they support AP's decision to do what he did.
Is it not possible to be ok with physically disciplining children while also believing that AP took it too far?

Wait, you're talking about potential injury here and say this about peterson's kid,

I'm only talking about the extent of the injuries left behind. They are being described as much worse than they are in reality. That's the only thing I take issue with.
You're an idiot
If you can't keep your own story and argument straight, how do you expect to convince anyone to be on your side?

Inexcusable.The poor child was probably crying his heart out. It looks like he hit him 15+ times. There should be no need to hit a 4 year old or any child like that. I know 4 year olds that cry if you get serious and raise your voice.

Disciplining physically (spanking) and whipping with a stick a four year old are different.
Spank him. Fine.
Whip him. Not.
It's pretty simple.

actually many people are. on this site.
here are some reasons:
1. they didn't read the whole police report
2. they didn't see the pictures
3. they think peterson "spanked" his son which was not the case at all
anyone defending what AP did are either sadistic psychopaths, or are ignorant of the details surrounding the case.
hint: stuffing leaves into your 4 year olds mouth while you pull his pants down and beat him with a switch isn't discipline, it's child abuse.

i'm sure he was but no one could hear him because his mouth was stuffed with leaves apparently.

Exactly there should be no need for a switch! AP could've probably spanked him with his hand once and I bet the kid would've been in tears.

I am only saying that the actual injuries sustained should not be described as they are being described.
I wouldn't defend somebody punching somebody in the face, either, even if it "only" caused a black eye.
In that case, it also wouldn't be accurate to describe the injury as "severe" if it only caused a bruise.
I was simply saying that punching somebody in the face is much more dangerous because of the uncertainty that can result from punching somebody in the face. You can cause serious injuries. Broken orbital sockets, eye injuries, broken noses, sinus fractures, internal bleeding, unconsciousness, etc. because when you throw a punch, there is no telling the result.
But hitting somebody on their backside with a thin branch (while violent) is much more certain. You are going to cause welts. That's about the extent of it, and the welts can be worse depending on the force.

what about the child saying that his dad hits him on his head?
what about stuffing leaves into his mouth while pulling his pants down whipping him across his butt until it bleeds?

What he did was over the top and questions parenting, borderline abuse. But how many of us went through that and turned out fine? A lot I bet.
If it wasn't Adrian Peterson, 99% of the board wouldn't care and that is a fact.

I'm simply saying it's not accurate to describe the injuries as "severe". That's it. That's all I'm arguing.
