Adrian Peterson Indicted For Child Abuse « CBS Minnesota (http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2014/09/12/adrian-peterson-indicted-for-child-abuse/)

When I first heard the story was about using a switch, well I know that was an old style punishment and thought it might have been a case of overzealous DCS people. But it always comes back to the pictures. When you see the marks, all you can do is shake your head.

From unconfirmed sources, those pictures are supposedly a week after the spankin. So that's a little more perspective.

I got switched, branches pulled from trees, etc. and I would have welps and red marks on my legs. I don't ever remember bleeding nor do I remember scab wounds a week later. This is disturbing.

Vikings just stated ap will be deactivated and won't play this Sunday


Folks nfl has a domestic abuse problem

Man F... That, I got whipped with switches, belts, sticks, a 2x4, Cook spoons, got hit in the face back, had welts and everything else, my dad even broke my nose when I was in the 5th grade. I got whipped with everything you can think off and had marks that stayed on me for more than a week.

wtf is going on...................

Wow. Sorry to hear that, I couldn't imagine having my nose broken by my dad. My dad did threaten me in high school saying he could whip my ass, I believed him too. He could have.

Shit happens, I got over it, but I mean I got switches at 4 years old and had bruises, the way I feel is that if they feel that way then raise his kid themselves. Some of the shit I got was child abuse but I had bruises on me after whippings all the time.

Somewhat similar situation here. No doubt I was a difficult kid, in fact I'm determined not to have kids because I'm well aware of what I was like growing up, but I had a few episodes during my formative years that certainly were well over the line. Granted nothing even close to sending me to a hospital but lets just say if a Ray Rice like tape was released one of my parents could have been easily been standing in front of a judge.

Certainly got plenty of verbal abuse growing up. True story, I learned the word 'retarded' at 5 years old because my Mother used to ask me, without joking, if I was in fact retarded. Then again the first time I ever pumped gas I sprayed my Mother with the nozzle, because after all if you give a child anything with a pointy end and a trigger....maybe she had a point?

I think it definitely has a negative effect though on a kid growing up. I remember a friend of mine telling me his parents never raised a hand to him and eventually had an a-ha moment when he later told me that he had never been in a fight. When I look at myself on the other hand, though I certainly would never be mistaken for a brawler I probably had slightly more than the average amount of fights for a kid growing up in the rough upper middle-class suburbs. I'd probably need 3 hands to count them all from k-12.

Even though I know that was a horrible experience for you, I sadly find it somewhat comforting knowing that there's someone out there that understands my pain, lol.
