[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 635115, member: 15473"] I am from the South and I was raised getting a spanking when I did something wrong. I didn't get beaten. Yes a switch was used on occasion. I rarely got more than 2 or 3 swats with it and it never ever drew blood or left horrendous welps. I am sure it left a slight mark but nothing horrid. I guess I abused my children as well because they got spankings when they were young. A swat on occasion when they weren't listening and put themselves in danger. Once or twice they got spankings for running their mouths waaaaaaaayyyyyyy to much! I never spanked their bare butts. I personally dont feel that in those cases I was abusive but by some definitions I am sure I was. I did feel abusive the two times I slapped my oldest daughter in the face and the 1 time I slapped her leg. I did it way too hard and left an imprint. In both instances difficult child was behaving extremely badly and in one case was physically hitting me. I was attempting to snap her out of it before she hurt herself and us. It worked. She will never forgive me for it and I understand! I will never forgive myself because it isn't something I want my child to remember about me. I have seen the pictures and what Peterson did was wrong. That child was beaten. Even if he was attempting to discipline in a manner he was used to he went well above and beyond the norm. No 4 year old child does things that require corporal punishment. If it gets to that point the parent needs to be seeking some parenting help and some mental health help for their child. They probably have a child with some serious mental health issues. As for Rice the video says it all. He abused the woman and she continues to stand behind him. I can't support that. In the case of Peterson and Rice's careers I believe the NFL has a morality clause for their players. Even without abuse being listed in it specifically I would imagine it is broad enough to extend to issues where their actions effect the league. Do I think he should lose his career? No, I think he should receive therapy and be monitored just like any of us would if found guilty. Being abusive is a problem that can be fixed with enough therapy and the will to change. [/QUOTE]
