[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634840, member: 1550"] Well, Janet, if so that's too bad. If you haven't seen the pictures, this child was beaten bloody all over. He was not whipped on his butt, although I don't agree that this ever changes any child's behavior for the better. I think child abuse charges should be stricter than abusing an adult, who is not completely without recourse. A child who is abused has no recourse and is tiny and helpless and if you've seen the pictures I have no doubt you'd think it was abuse. Beating a child has never made any child a better person or even more well behaved, but studies have shown that it does make them more prone to violence. And it makes many adult children, such as Adrian Peterson, go overboard and react when he thinks his child has been "bad." I'm really amazed that the Ray Rice incident is getting more negative feedback than Adrian Peterson's beating of his son. I guess it's true that some parents will think a beating of a child is ok. But there is no compelling studies proving it is ever a good thing. We're not talking about a swat on a diapered butt here. We're talking about a beating. Check the pictures on the link. This is why even spanking is banned in many countries. It can and often does get out of control and it doesn't make the child a better person and creates violence. If it's illegal for a man to beat his wife, why is it ok to beat his child? I never get an answer to this...After all, before wife abuse was illegal, men only thought they were teaching their wives a lesson...how is this different? [/QUOTE]
