Sounds like a case of the boy deserved punishment and Peterson went too far.

For the life of me I just don't see the need to strike a child, and with a switch no less, to punish him.

Is it just me who is surprised that a black man would use a tool and punishment on his child that slave owners used?

It is commonly used by white folks down home in Appalachia. It's not a racial thing.

You missed ocnjgirl's point. Whether or not white folks use it is irrelevant.

EXCLUSIVE Details On Adrian Peterson Indictment Charges « CBS Houston

Quote:
The beating allegedly resulted in numerous injuries to the child, including cuts and bruises to the child’s back, buttocks, ankles, legs and *******, along with defensive wounds to the child’s hands. Peterson then texted the boy’s mother, saying that one wound in particular would make her “mad at me about his leg. I got kinda good wit the tail end of the switch.”
As per usual, the 'apologists' are out in force defending this 'man,' confusing physical abuse of a child with 'spanking' or what their ma and pa did to them as kids.

Read the article to read more of this sick individual.

Also, it was very shady when his 2 year old son brutally died at the hands of his ex's boyfriend last year. At first, everyone was shocked and all sad for him. Then it was revealed that Peterson didn't even know this son existed, had absolutely no contact with the boy. Sure, it's sad to see ANY young child brutally murdered in that heinous manner, but still.

Surely you can't be serious ... ?

I should say went to far.

In response to the 4 y/o pushing another child off a toy, his pants were pulled off and Peterson used a switch, leaving bruises and cuts up and down his legs, buttocks, and *******.

Peterson defends this "whoopin' " as a reasonable strategy to use in teaching the child right from wrong.

I shudder to think what is in store for one of his kids who does something more serious than tussle over a toy.
