WTF?

He doesn't seem to be a nice man.

I'd say penetrating an unwilling child's rectum is abuse. Unequivocally.

Pretty sure that's child molestation. I'd hate to think how he 'punished' his daughter.

It's actually sexual abuse, which in most states is illegal to not report if your aware of it happening to a minor. Some people will post anything on the internet.

Post was edited to reflect prior to seeing this, but yes... people will post anything on the internet.

Surely he is just messing with us. If it is true, his friend is one sick Mo Fo and should be arrested.

Two articles in todays paper

I did not copy the whole thing. It is a pain on the cheap chromebooks the school bought us.

Peterson may be done in the NFL

Petersons discipline was intergenerational tranmission

An important excerpt from the Star Tribune article:

Surprise charge?

Grant, the Texas prosecutor, flatly denied widespread media reports Friday that a Texas grand jury last week initially had decided not to indict Peterson.

“It was not shopped around to multiple grand juries,” he said.

But the indictment seemed to catch by surprise Peterson’s lawyer, Rusty Hardin, who recently left the country on vacation.

Peterson’s cooperation with police, and his lawyer’s statements saying that the running back was simply treating his child the same way Peterson himself was disciplined at a young age, seemed to suggest an emerging legal defense. Hardin didn’t dispute reports indicating that Peterson had whipped his son with a “switch,” a tree branch stripped of its leaves.

Michael McCann, the founding director of the New Hampshire-based Sports and Entertainment Law Institute, said Texas is generally more permissive than other states when it comes to spanking or striking children for disciplinary reasons. But he quickly added that the child’s age — Peterson’s son is 4 — and the severity of the boy’s welts pose problems for Peterson in Texas, too.

McCann also said that the episode that allegedly led to the whipping, a scuffle between two small children over a video game, also would be in play in court. Prosecutors, he said, are likely to argue that “a child could not have known at age 4” that fighting over a video game could lead to such a severe whipping.

“This is a 4-year-old boy who got into an argument over a video game,” said McCann. “His age is a key factor.”

I hope that this is trolling.

:spock: :eek: :shake:

Which probably explains why you believe it's completely acceptable to beat your own child.

I'm sorry, but you've spanked a nine year old girl 20 times?

Our society tells us that it's unacceptable to beat women, but beating a little girl sends the right message?

What kind of child is so unruly that they are deemed to be deserving of being physically beaten 20 times by the time that they are just nine years old? And wouldn't this then be a direct reflection on your parenting abilities, or a lack thereof, that your child was acting out with such frequency to the point of requiring such a severe punishment?

I would imagine that the threat of violence against a child loses it's impact after a certain amount of applications. To illustrate this, you yourself said that your child actually said she deserved to be physically punished and asked for it. That's a removal of any type of fear of such a perceived corrective action.

I'd be prepared to start answering some questions from a representative of the Missouri Department of Social Services if I were you.

Obviously my post was a joke. I think the backwoods inbreds who defend Peterson because "that's the way we did it back in the 50's!" are equally stupid. Blacks were also required to drink from different water fountains, but that doesn't mean it's permissible in today's society. Welcome to 2014.

Trolling the board with a friend got butt ****ed by his Dad was not a good choice. Especially for a n00b. We have no idea whether its humor or not.

Now, for who knows how long, me and others are no longer going to trust what you say or take seriously your words or posts.

You posted this in a thread on child abuse:

Where is the joke?

Where is the "Ha ha...that was funny, wasn't it?"

There isn't any thing funny about what you posted whatsoever. Nothing.

Sorry, but if you were joking, you will need to explain how funny you were trying to be to the proper authorities now.
