The initial report made me think the same as TPE. However, the additional report you provided, Ref, makes me feel otherwise. There is a not-so-fine line in disciplining children. I know the topic of spanking a child vs not spanking can become a heated one. I am of the belief that there is nothing wrong w/ spanking a child if done correctly. By "correctly" I simply mean on the butt (there are no vial organs there, nothing that can be damaged), not out of anger, and certainly not full forced. Whipping a child until they have lacerations, bruises, and just look like they've been beaten certainly is taking it WAY too far.
I am a proponent of corporal punishment. My mother made me get the switch she used. If bare skin was contacted there may have barely been a red mark for a short time.
You do not cut our bruise a child to discipline. The act itself is enough, Not the severity of it.
Spanking our paddling is the best route.
If the second report I found is true that man needs to go to jail.
The kid was 4 years old. A gentle swat on the behind with an open hand isn't abuse, but leaving welts and bruises with a switch is wholly inappropriate.
I could agree with you, but I would be wrong too. How is that going to help anyone?
The demeanor and cooperation being described that Peterson is giving makes me think he doesn't know any better cause that is how he was raised. While maybe some jail time is warranted it sounds, at least so far early into this, that he needs psychiatric help more than anything.

If I recall, he was raised in a pretty rough environment by a drug dealing father. That's just off memory though, so I can't say it's 100% accurate.
I have not seen pictures but all indications from those who have means he will probably go to jail. Doubt you ever see him play again.
He won't go to jail.
2 years and $10K is the MAX sentence, and probation is suggested for anyone without a criminal record. Considering he has cooperated with the police/prosecution the entire time and turned himself in, IF he is found guilty, he will get probation.

I definitely have more respect for how he is handling himself over Rice. Listening to Mike and Mike and reading and hearing the descriptions of the injuries to this 4 year old , they said jail time a distinct possibility.
