Adrian Paterson

Where is the outrage over what Adrian Peterson did to his son. This is equally or worse then the Ray rice scandal.

Dang it. I meant Peterson..

Who is Adrian Peterson and what did he do to his son?

It has been all over the news, so I believe the outrage IS there.

Charles Barkley was just on CNN saying that kind of "whipping" of a child is just the culture of the south and should not be considered domestic abuse. He did say perhaps Peterson went too far (oh, really?) but still condoned it.

In other words a man weighing 250 lbs. and is 6'2" tall should be allowed to pull down his four-year old's pants and whip him to the point of bleeding and it's okay because it's the "culture."

Some of the "cultures" in Africa should then be okay too with this thinking.

ETA: I am referring to the circumcision of girls when they attain puberty. I meant it as a regional issue, not a racial one.

Whipping kids is a Southern tradition. Black or white. I don't know any kids in their 60s or above who WEREN'T whipped with a little switch.

No. A ton is 2000 lbs.

He needs parenting classes and some other punishment. I am not a D.A.

What is also reprehensible are the number of children he has with multiple women. There, he is a total fool. He is a great running back but not a great man.

Remember last year?

Adrian Peterson discovered his baby-mama in South Dakota had a boyfriend that beat her son...he was charged. It began TMZ worthy when the baby-mama told Adrian Peterson it was HIS son...his 2-yrold son he wasn't aware he had. The son died.

Fast forward today, Adrian Peterson is abusing his 4-yr son. Ironic, huh?! You would think the impact of his unknown 2yr old last yr would make an impression....but no.

Lots & LOTS of kids. 29 years old & fathered 7 children (TMZ).

I wasn't switched either. I believe his child is only four. I don't have a problem with spanking but when you make marks on a child like he did it is abuse. Little kids can't defend themselves.
