Adrian Peterson -- Indicted for Child Abuse

[magnifier661]

Do some of you want to change your opinion on what Peterson did now that we have pictures?

Only the bottom parents!!! Damn!!!

According to the police report, Peterson allegedly sent text messages to the child's mother saying he "felt bad" because he struck the kid in the testicles.

"Got him in the nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I'm all tearing that butt up when needed!" the text said.

I went to school once with red marks on my legs, the shape of the tip of a belt. As I said, when the law operated on a budget, someone would talk to a first offender and tell him to stop. Now, the police state can afford years of prison.

Have you even read what this is about?

We're told the child returned home to his mother in Minn. who noticed injuries and took the child to a doctor. A short time later, the doctor contacted authorities in Texas to report Adrian.

You keep acting like Peterson is the victim here. He's not. These laws are in place to protect the child. The mother was absolutely right in taking her child to the doctor. The doctor has to report this to the state. No one is out to get Peterson.

Why does the kid look white?

No one? Did you read the first post?

HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Sources told FOX 26 Sports Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been indicted in Montgomery County for reckless or negligent injury to a child.

Is this his first offense? He should get a warning.

What a fucking piece of shit, unbelievable that anyone would think this is ok

 

[julius]

Why does the kid look white?

Why does that matter?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Wow, those pics are brutal. AP is done! Goodbye career!
I didnt read thru all the posts so forgive me if this was already asked, but what is a "switch"? I read that is was he hit him with.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

A stick or a branch. I get discipline and whatnot but if you are whipping your kids till they bleed you are a sick fuck

 

[RR7]

Best way to teach a kid violence is wrong, obviously, is by beating him with a stick.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I think his season is over... maybe career.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Sounds like he went way beyond appropriate discipline.

OTOH, the timing of the allegations is...curious.

Perhaps he was trying to teach the kid that violence is good. Heard the kids a little shit anyway!



Kidding! This is so disgusting. Hopefully AP can take some parenting courses and therapy for both him and his son, and the violence can stop.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Absolutely disgusted by the actions of Peterson and Rice. What's just as sad are the people trying to justify it. There is discipline and abuse. What Peterson did was abuse, bottom line. And, for some reason, I keep reading responses like "I was beat as a child, but I turned out alright." This thought process baffles me. Just because it was done to you as a child doesn't give you or anyone else the right to do it as an adult. It's a vicious fucking cycle. I really hope Peterson serves jail time for what he did.

 

[Mediocre Man]

While he certainly went overboard, and admitted he did, spanking your kids in Texas is not a crime. If anything this sounds like more of a horrible mistake than a crime.

Should he be punished.....yes.

Should he be called a piece of shit....no.

I was spanked as a child with both a belt and a hand. Dad with a belt and mom with a hand so she could "pass along some common sense through her hand"

I spank my children "if they do something really bad." A friend of mine thinks it's abuse and punishes his children by sending them to their rooms with some books and makes them do a report on whatever it is before they can leave their room. His kids get really poor grades in reading because they hate doing it....so which one of us is "abusing" our children more?

Comparing Peterson and Rice is completely silly. IT'S LEGAL to spank your kid in Texas. What he did was hit him too had, and admitted it right away. IT'S NOT LEGAL to hit a woman

If that gentle remedy were all there is at stake, I'd agree. But what's happening is a million-dollar trial to put him (and ultimately half of America) into prison for years. Despite my having asked the question, no one here has said how many years they'd sentence him to. They just want to say that it's terrible and delegate the torture to the monsters in charge.

50 years, with a potential for getting out a year early if he exhibits good behavior.

How's that? Don't make me double it!

One of you hits your children and one of you makes them read books and you're actually asking who abuses their kids more?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

remember, in Texas, book lernin' is considered torture

What Peterson did was not spanking.

School of hard knocks versus school of education.

Texas made its choice long ago. Now, if all Texas children wrapped their bottoms with "Don't tread on me" flags, spankings would be illegal. Because Texans aren't allowed to tread on anyone except minorities, women or homosexuals.

If I were judge, this being a first offense I wouldn't include jail time as that won't help improve the situation. I would require parenting classes, I would require therapy for AP and AP provide it for his son. I would Also require shit tons of community service, like 1200 hours over a few years.

If AP repeated this offense, I would want years of jail time and no more unsupervised visits with his child.

In other words, first time is used to correct the problem and fix their relationship in a nonviolent way, but after a second time the point becomes to remove the man from the life of the child.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I agree with booking, releasing. I think parenting classes and no jail time is sufficient. If a repeat offense then drop the hammer.

It seems like Texas is more "spanking" friendly so I'm fine with this case proceeding through the legal system and let them come up with a punishment that fights the crime. From what I've read there are some things that are of great concern about this. First, the kid is only 4 years old. Next, AP put leafs in the kid's mouth and proceeded to whip him not only on his bottom but his arms, legs, testicles until the kid bled. That's not a punishment, that is torture.

And yes, you should treat a 4yr old as good if not better than a grown woman. You would never whip a woman with a switch until she bleeds.
