Not saying that there is a kid out there that could use some tough love like that but you have to be careful.

I also feel we put these NFL players on such a high pedestal and expect them to be perfect in every way and that is just wrong. You are entittled to make mistakes and you entittled to learn from them. Holding something that is and can be corrected and learned behavior to stop someone from earning a living is wrong as well.

Everyone is entitled to their own way of discipline. That doesn't mean they have the right to tell another person what's right or wrong, unless it's something egregious. Talking only goes so far with a lot of kids. Without any real threat of consequence, how does talking to them teach them anything? In my opinion, there is a time for talking, and a time for punishment. I know the word punishment is hard for this current society to handle, because they automatically think in terms of abuse, but punishment, in and of itself, is anything that represents a consequence related to an action. Kids have to feel a healthy amount of fear that if they don't act right, they will either have something taken away, or be spanked, grounded, something. Just as long as it gets the message across.

It's how I was raised, and what problems I have are unrelated to any of that. I learned respect, courtesy, and I didn't fear my parents in any way other than the healthy kind of fear I spoke of, where I knew if I disobeyed them, I would get the belt, or have some privilege taken away for an indefinite period of time.

Respect you metal, but no they actually do not. That is why there are child protection laws. So no, people are not entitled to discipline any way they see fit

This is old news IMO and has been hash over in MPLS. If MPLS can move on NO should be able to do the same

Has he done it since? If so, chop him up and put him on a school lunch menu -gotta be healthier than some of that stuff I've seen kids carry off the line. If not then he's figured it out. Give him the ball and see what he can do with it. What's done is done, redemption is everyone's right.

"I truly regret this incident," Peterson said outside the courthouse. "I stand here and take full responsibility for my actions. I love my son more than any one of you could even imagine. I am looking forward to and I am anxious to continue my relationship with my child.

"I am just glad this is over. I can put this behind me and me and my family can begin to move forward."

Peterson, 29, had stood accused of injuring his 4-year-old son in May after disciplining him with a tree branch or "switch." Peterson said the injuries were unintentional and that he was imposing the same kind of discipline that had been imposed on him as a boy growing up in Texas.

I was beat with a belt and I deserved it. I was a rebellious hellion as a teen and ended up with an ultimatum...drop out of school and get a job or join the military. I choose military and it was the best decision I have ever made.

I have a 22 yr old son and a 20 yr old daughter. I can count on one hand how many times I had to hit my son and my daughter never crossed the line. Some kids (like myself( are more thick headed than others.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
