In 2014, Adrian Peterson was charged with felony child abuse, entered a plea deal to misdemeanor reckless assault, and was suspended from the NFL for beating his son. In a shocking new interview, Peterson has admitted that he still hits his son with a belt.

Peterson is no longer on probation for the previous abuse case, but his public admission could draw scrutiny from legal authorities. Different states have different laws about parents physically disciplining their children, and it is unclear from the Bleacher Report article where the incident with the belt took place.

Regardless of any legal issues, Peterson could also now face discipline from the NFL, which made clear when Peterson was suspended in 2014 that his reinstatement was dependent upon his agreeing to go through counseling and be a better father to his children.

“The timing of your potential reinstatement will be based on the results of the counseling and treatment program set forth in this decision,” the league told Peterson in a 2014 letter. “Under this two-step approach, the precise length of the suspension will depend on your actions. We are prepared to put in place a program that can help you to succeed, but no program can succeed without your genuine and continuing engagement. You must commit yourself to your counseling and rehabilitative effort, properly care for your children, and have no further violations of law or league policy.”

If the NFL views Peterson hitting his son with a belt as a failure to “properly care for your children,” he could be suspended regardless of whether he faces criminal charges. The NFL has made it clear with past incidents that players can be disciplined under the personal-conduct policy even if they are not criminally charged.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also told Peterson in a letter that Goodell found it troubling that, “You have shown no meaningful remorse for your conduct.” That Peterson is now openly talking about hitting his son with a belt again suggests no meaningful remorse. Peterson may again find himself sanctioned for hitting his son.

Have no problem with spanking or even using a belt but those photos of AP's kid is abuse.

Yeah for sure - that's terrible. That's lashing out in anger.

AssEaterChief · 11-21-2018, 09:08 PM

If you don't know how to discipline your child without physical violence, you don't know how to parent, period.

Being a parent is about being a good role model and diplomacy... he is doing neither

If your dad would have just owned a craftsman, you'd be a much shittier person due to lack of weed eater lashings.

Yep. Spared no expense on my learnin'.

My father tied me up in a gunny sack and threw me in the river. I learned a lot ...

Like, for example, never, ever let somebody tie you up in a gunny sack and throw you in a river.

Those pictures are hard to look at every time they get posted.

I always assumed the switch was a backwoods Missouri hillbilly thing, but judging by the amount of comments on Facebook when the "black women getting the switch" meme pops up it's not as uncommon, even today, as many people probably believe it should be.

Dad had a belt and the principal a fancy oversized ping pong paddle. "When your dad gets home" had meaning. It's a shame that so many kids today aren't even capable of receiving that threat.

I'd like to ask all the middle aged men who like to beat the shit out of their girlfriends/wives if they were beat as a child. Noone should ever use a ****ing belt on their child. Spanking is pretty worthless too.

I'm telling you that you made a presumption that is bogus.

Abused kids turn violent? Water is wet.

Beating your kids ass because they disobey? Nah. They are BEGGING you to set boundaries.

You should never beat a kid's ass. Hitting with a belt is child abuse.

Some of you are acting as if every dad out there just goes straight for the belt.
Surely most go through a progression of punishments before the belt.
You know where you have a conversation about the behavior that is going on while grounding and then escalate it as necessary.
There is nothing wrong with a spanking on the butt with a belt. If the parent has lost control of their anger hopefully they will tell the child that they have a whipping coming but that they need to calm down before giving said punishment.

What do you do then when grounding, taking all their "stuff" away, talking hasn't worked and they are continuing on with bad behavior?

Spank that ass. Just because you spank an ass doesn’t mean you give it everything you got. Just enough sting to get your point across. One open hand right on the ass
