Mother: "What happened to his head?"
Peterson: "Hit his head on the Carseat."
Mother: "How does that happen, he got a whoopin in the car."
Peterson: "Yep."
Mother: "Why?"
Peterson: "I felt so bad. But he did it his self."

Blaming the victims... this guy is s , tbh....

Frost kings be jealous of this proud, successful black man. They always be tryin' to hold the proud black man down and make the beautiful black culture look bad, tbh. If the black community want to beat their es and little thugs around, who are white people to tell them not to? Them's the racists! Hands up, don't shoot! Trayvon Martin! Obama!

Not saying she will or should, but can you imagine the money payoff she could demand from Peterson and his pussy lawyer to not file charges?

Peterson sure show's the 4 year olds who is boss.

lol at some of the takes in this thread. Kids nowadays have evolved just like society has. Disciplining a kid nowadays is also different. Like Chinook said, appropriate corporal punishment still goes a long ways despite changes in society. I wouldn't necessarily get beat but I was spanked with a belt when I deserved it and it worked. I plan on doing the same to my kids when the times call for it.

[jimbo]

there is a big difference between disciplining and beating down... I'm sorry... you can discipline a child without slapping him or using a ing belt

using force against a child is not discipline it's being a coward and a weak er

Lmao at some Frenchie trying to call a true American alpha male a coward tbh...



You wanna hear cowardly...?

You're in a club and this guy slaps your girlfriend's ass - what do you do?

[jimbo]

and more importantly, I'm surprised a Texas grand jury even indicted Peterson on child abuse charges...you'd think Texas would be more conservative than that.

I don't know the other areas Montgomery county encompasses, but if the jury was filled with rich white people from the Woodlands it's no surprise that happened then though. A judge won't get him on child abuse imo

To be honest Houston cops have had it out for Peterson long before this. It doesn't help he beats his kids.

[jimbo]

Why?

[djohn2oo8]

Why?

Rich black athlete from Texas, that's their MO around here. One night he was arrested at this club downtown by this undercover cop who said Peterson pushed him after he told him he was a cop. Charged him with resisting arrest. Three cops took him down. There was a video out that didn't show any pushing.

AP reinstated for week 3 vs the Saints.

So much for the thought that he was done this season.

Why isn't Goodell stepping in and suspending him

[Darth_Pelican]

Why isn't Goodell stepping in and suspending him

Because he drafted him in the first round of his fantasy team.

I totally disagree with that

the only thing you teach to a kid when u use force is when you run out of ideas use force. People use force because they lose control not because it is more reliable. I already used moderate force and it was always because I lost control and I immediately regretted it. It is efficient on a bad way not because of the pain but because it's an humiliation for the kid.

I think you're completely mischaracterizing corporal punishment. It's not a last resort. It's not like a parent tries yelling at a kid, then grounding him, then sending him to bed without supper, then finally slapping him out of frustration. Corporal punishment is most effective when implemented immediately, since it creates a stronger association between the pain and the unwanted behavior. If you delay hitting a kid, you risk them repeating the behavior much more readily. Also, when you start hitting a kid out of frustration, you've completely lost control of the situation as a parent. That's not the case at all when you do it immediately.

As I said higher up, my parents hit me so that they could threaten to hit me later. They made a couple dozen spanking last years. They never hit me after the age of 10 or so, because by then I was rational enough for them to talk to me. But when I was younger and lacked higher-level reasoning, hitting me was a great tool. It's much easier for a kid to understand that doing something bad will result in them getting hurt than it is for them to understand the complicated social mechanisms which their behavior can cause.

Now obviously some parents go too far and beat the crap out of their kids. Some punish kids who haven't done anything wrong. Some get a sick enjoyment out of hurting their kids. Irresponsible people mess up a lot of things. But it's not like this new generation in which corporal punishment is shunned is any better. Kids are still being incorrectly punished and growing up to be pieces of crap. I'd be very interested in a study that explored whether responsible use of corporal punishment really has a negative impact on children (controlling for socioeconomic factors, of course).

got jimbo looking for black male pics on the internet to make a point
beating down a kid is being an alpha male
you're in the club
us proud americans whip kids
coward

[Raven]

Of course you can. But pain is still a very effective vector to direct behavior. I would argue that it's the most effective way in today's society where you really can't unplug people from the Internet anymore.

I don't think the second statement makes sense at all. Using force isn't about asserting power. It's about establishing conditioning. A (good) parent doesn't hit their kids because they run out of other ideas. They do so because it gets through to people much more reliably.

i do not agree.

You know I respect your posting chinook so I will respect your opinion on that topic. I believe you are not the kind of guy to cross the line with a kid so it's all good.

Saying that, I cannot disagree more with you on all you are writing. Pain does not teach you anything other than fear even if in the case you mention parent is in control and does not use use force at last resort.

[Brazil]

When my dad would use force on me, I have 0 souvenir of the pain. The pain was never an issue especially because he uses rightly so moderate force what I remember is the humiliation. Pain is not the mechanism working on a child, humiliation is... that's what stays.

[Cry Havoc]

Of course you can. But pain is still a very effective vector to direct behavior.

He said, completely ignorant of every single study on child abuse that's ever been conducted.

I would argue that it's the most effective way in today's society where you really can't unplug people from the Internet anymore.

Ah! Bonus points for the "kids today jes' dun have no respect for their elders!" comment that's been recited by every single generation in the history of forever.

Nothing says "alpha male" quite like beating up a 4-year-old who has no means to defend himself or flee the situation....

open wounds were found on the kids scrotum.

I would think even most of the pro switch crowd would agree that is going way overboard. Abuse.

Far from being alpha it screams "I am super insecure and need to take out my insecurities abusively on a 4 year old."

I think a person can agree that AP took his discipline too far and that he's probably a lousy father but still not think he should be prosecuted for it.

Seriously?

The kid is cut up. I can't believe AP is actually playing on Sunday.

It's 2014 and our society is still ed up.
