That looks like the kid's right thigh.  
eclipz928 : 9/12/2014 6:16 pm : link
I've gotten some pretty bad beatings, some of them that have come close to this but not quite as bad.

Peterson may have went a bit overboard here. Shouldn't be opening up cuts on your kid. Some punishment will be necessary but I don't think jail time. But then again, it is Texas...
that's child abuse

somehow trumped Rice. Wow this is awful for the NFL. Laughing at the jackasses saying people 80 years would be rolling in their graves because of this.

imagine what people would think. That bad thing I did... never did it again. I didn't turn into a monster and I certainly didn't see my parents that way. My Grandmother used to tell me stories about her Grandmother... it was just considered discipline.
I don't know how  
derpaderp : 9/12/2014 6:39 pm : link
you can purposely and maliciously draw blood on your child, as evidenced by that picture and then CONTINUE to beat or whip them, inflicting more injuries that also draw more blood. It's like a scene out of Roots or 12 years a slave; that's just fucking sick.
Child abuse in the truest sense of the word  
Canton : 9/12/2014 6:40 pm : link
counting the lashes...

At least 10 on the one leg. And the news broadcast is showing more pictures, with lashes on other parts of his body.

Absolutely disgusting..

Bye bye Peterson. You and Rice can share a few beers and reminisce about a avatar that once was. Your playing days are history.

On his frigging balls even...that's beyond fucked up. There should be capital punishment for shit like this.
Something seriously wrong

Matt Asiata or Jerick McKinnon  
NYG27 : 9/12/2014 6:49 pm : link
Asiata is trending in most fantasy football waiver wire lists right now. Although I think the better pickup will be McKinnon.

Jerick will be the 3rd down back and is the more explosive player. Just a matter of time before he take over as the every down back.

The “whooping” – as Peterson put it when interviewed by police – occurred in Spring, Texas, in May. Peterson’s son had pushed another one of Peterson’s children off of a motorbike video game. As punishment, Peterson grabbed a tree branch – which he consistently referred to as a “switch” – removed the leaves and struck the child repeatedly.


Well, at least it was for a good reason...

After seeing the kids picture and reading the details, I think what Peterson did is sick and far worse then what Michael Vick did and Peterson deserves jail time.

As for my fantasy football comment, I didn't want to start yet "another" fantasy thread and included them here on Peterson's thread. So sorry if anyone took offense to it. I figured we could discuss both topics at the same time.
Yikes while shoving leaves down his mouth!?  
CromartiesKid21 : 9/12/2014 7:22 pm : link
Quote:
"According to police reports, the child, however, had a slightly different story, telling authorities that “Daddy Peterson hit me on my face.” The child also expressed worry that Peterson would punch him in the face if the child reported the incident to authorities. He also said that he had been hit by a belt and that “there are a lot of belts in Daddy’s closet.” He added that Peterson put leaves in his mouth when he was being hit with the switch while his pants were down. The child told his mother that Peterson “likes belts and switches” and “has a whooping room.”

"Peterson also allegedly said via text message to the child’s mother that he “felt bad after the fact when I notice the switch was wrapping around hitting I (sic) thigh” and also acknowledged the injury to the child’s scrotum in a text message, saying, “Got him in nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I’m all tearing that butt up when needed! I start putting them in timeout. N save the whooping for needed memories!”
As a father I can't wrap my head around  
steve in ky : 9/12/2014 7:27 pm : link
how another father can harm his own child like that.
A six game suspension  
Wuphat : 9/12/2014 7:29 pm : link
should be the least of his worries.

An adult that does that to a child should be behind bars and barred from being alone with children ever again.
And how does his lawyer say this with a straight face....

of laws and I personally don't believe in using violence so I am not proud of having these thoughts, but when I see this kind of thing there is something in me that can't help but feel that maybe he should feel the fear of having to endure a good beating.

Precisely because he is a criminal lawyer.

On the heals of his last fiasco, how does he see these pictures and not quickly ban Peterson as well? This man should have been his sons protector instead of attacker.
Hitting his 4 year old son in the nuts.

Same here. Sure I got slapped once or twice by my Mom but that was it. If anyone here got beaten repeatedly with foreign objects by their parents, they were abusing you . Period.



That doesn't make it right. And while my mother would slap us, we were never 'beaten' or spanked. And my father never hit us.

They let Donte Stallworth play again. Josh Brent is about to play again. Those guys are scrubs. Dany Heatley is still playing hockey. Alfredo Simon is facing rape allegations 3 years after going on trial for manslaughter. We all know about Mike Vick. Kobe Bryant is BELOVED. I just doubt sports leagues will ever totally remove guys for committing crimes.

ESPN had this poll (with a ridiculously small number polled) in which the overwhelming majority of people said the Rice incident hasn't made them less likely to watch. People raise hell, but they don't stop watching. Until that happens, guys will get second chances.
The Kobe story is based off of shakiness at best

Point being that if anyone here was beaten repeatedly by a parent with a foreign object, your parent was guilty of physically abusing you. You may not like to hear it but its true.
He'll get his suspension
