Mocountyskins Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 http://www.tmz.com/2014/09/12/adrian-peterson-indicted-for-child-abuse/ This has to be one of the most embarrassing weeks in the history of the NFL. Now the article says he disciplined his child with a switch. I think thats not too big of a deal depending on how hard it was. Idk if they have video of this or not. Child services has been looking into this for awhile. I mean sometimes you see someone smack their kid and hits like yea okay that was not that bad. Other times you see someone beat the crap out of their kid so bad its like wtf put that person in jail. Guess we need more facts first. Also do you think is done? Do you think Roger comes down hard af before the facts come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'll hold judgement untill I find out what kind of abuse was taking place. edit: I think a lot can be made of a little when it comes to child abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticksboi05 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Need more details before having any sort of opinion. Also, the most powerful entity in sports is TMZ not ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Can I also add that TMZ is a slime ball organization that actively persues the destruction of people's careers. They are the lowest of low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocountyskins Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Does Harvey Levin still do The Peoples Court? He was always funny on that show. Haven't seen it in about a year tho. TMZ is cray tho I mean I hear that some pictures of celebs go for 20g. Even a pic of a washed up Karl Malone goes for a few hundred bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskins Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Reports are out that he spanked his child with a "switch" AKA a small branch. I for one was spanked as a kid for doing a lot of bad stuff, and I'm glad that my parents did that to me. I may have not learned right from wrong otherwise...

abdcskins Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Adrian Peterson seems like the nicest most straight edge guy, poster boy for the NFL. I am also going to reserve judgement. Might be a case of too much punishment, whereas 20 years ago it would've been regarded as a spanking. Like I said though, I have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mocountyskins Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 I got beat a few times. I don't ever think anything was overboard. Looking back on it, it was needed a few times. Every once in a while some kids need a ass whooping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's an old school thing overall. I'm 21 and I never had to pick one growing up but my older family members have told me stories lol I damn sure got the belt tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I only got the belt and wooden spoon. Snap of the belt was terrifying enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor703 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Ding ding ding Reportedly he beat his kid with a switch. To a lot of black kids, that's nothing new or crazy lol My dad is Italian and from personal experience Italian kids got it much worse than anyone else lol. A switch would've been a cakewalk for me but still I don't hold anything against my father for disciplining me. He did what he had to do and I feel like I turned out a better person because of it. Unless it's something outrageous than people should really mind their own business. I only got the belt and wooden spoon. Snap of the belt was terrifying enough. Ahh the wooden spoon across the back of your legs lol...I can still feel it now just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSkin Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Belt, paddle, hands...I even got spanked by my principal in my elementary school. I still have not forgotten Mr. Jenkins, you old grumpy ****! Hope it's not too serious. Talk about bad timing for the league though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherrardsd Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm really surprised by the amount of people okay with kids gettin a good whoopin when they act up. I'm not talking about Peterson, just in general. It's always been odd to me that when a parent loses their patience it's acceptable to physically punish a child. Next time one of you guys mess up we should have someoe much bigger come and whoop your ass while you can't defend yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Italian and got the Belt and Wooden Spoon. Everytime it happened, i deserved it and probably am better for it. As long as its not going overboard where the kid is showing up to school daily with new bruises and marks, parents should be able to discapline their kids how they choose within reason and people should mind their own business.
