I am not having a hard time seeing it as abuse. Neither will a judge.
Adrian Peterson in trouble?

Couple Questions:
1) When did TMZ start reporting sports? I always thought they were into Kardashian type bulls-hit
2) How did this story leak out?

It didn't leak out. He was indicted by a Grand Jury (I believe today).

I mean how did anyone even find out it happened? Most kids don't go around bragging they got spanked for being a turd.

The wounds to the child? The child's mother took him (I assume the child is a boy) to the doctor and the doctor reported it as required.

The one article I believe on Facebook from Espn I believe said that Peterson texted the boys mother because on of the cuts looked bad and wanted her to know it wasn't abuse but a whooping.

I'm having flashbacks of my grandmother telling me to go out and cut a switch.
Once you know the pain of a switch, you always come back with a branch after that. A slight clubbing from a branch is much better than those flexible friggin switches.

Except if you bring back something bogus and they don't accept it, it's gonna be worse...

Getting hit by your weak half-dead grandmas is just like being hit by an NFL running back in the legs.

After my Grandpa died my Grandma ran one of the largest ranches in Northern California. She could of probably kicked AP' s ass in her prime. If not she'd drink him under the table then shoot him.
If any kid is abused its terrible no matter who's doing it. My grandma wasn't abusing me.

AP was simply being a good Christian, he beat his son with a rod, as instructed to do in several places throughout scripture.

I'm old school and think most of the spankings and punishments I got as a kid were pretty much deserved and taught me respect for rules and being responsible for my own behavior. I'm fine with spanking when it's appropriate punishment, not abuse. However, having seen the pics of this kid's legs after being switched, I think this was excessive for a 4-year-old child. I can't think of any situation where a 4-year-old should be switched hard enough to leave bloody stripes on their legs.

There's so much that's wrong with this. I got my share of spankings as a kid. None with a switch or a belt. I remember some of them but don't remember a damn thing about why. Since I was a repeat offender I can only assume that I wasn't really taught anything or dissuaded from further bad behavior.
I was lucky with my son. I only "spanked" m'boy twice – once when he was playing with the dials on the gas stove and the other when he was running toward the street and he thought that we were playing "I'm gonna getcha." His language skills at the time were minimal at best. He was still in diapers and the gentle swats had no physical effect, but the look in his eyes at my strange behavior told me all I needed to know. He didn't mess with the stove or run into the street ever again.
Hell, a tone of voice is often all that's needed. There was a time, when he was older and had acquired some language skills, that he was being a pain in the ass at dinner. I told him to go to his room' and he did ... sorta. He made it to the landing on the stairs and collapsed in a crying heap, begging to come back.
My wife and I looked at each other, slack-jawed, and both declared "We've become or parents!" I waited about 30 seconds then headed up the stairs to talk with him and bring him back to the dinner table.
He ate everything on his plate without another word or whine.
I know that it isn't easy, but this sickens me.

Agreed, don't be a limp-wristed atheist/agnostic. They and all of their ilk are b*tches.

That's pretty insensitive to associate limp wrists with gay people. I thought that was a negative stereotype?

I maybe got a wooden spoon to the ass a handful of times as a kid. I love my parents, but if they had even done anything bordering on abusive to me, they would die alone. Fuck that shit. I would never stand for anyone hitting me.

Just the politically correct climate we live in these days. My mother and father physically disciplined me when I was acting up, misbehaving, or being disrespectful and I turned out okay. Nowadays parents are not allowed to be parents to their children anymore without someone (who doesn't even have kids of their own) have an outrage and report CPS or the police or the media about it and people wonder why children grow up to be disrespectful brats to those who are different than them as well as not giving them their way. Political correctness sucks and it has worn out its welcome with me for years now. It really is time for people to grow a pair, man up, and start laying down the law with people instead of coddling them when they act up.
