I want to also add that I do not think MOST people use a belt or switch out of "love." I think it's pure anger.

Let me ask this to all.

 

If AP had used his hand, instead of a switch, are we still talking about the issue?

Depends on how far he went.

 

Why does it matter?

I never read a charge he knocked him out ? If he AD hit a kid hard enough to knock him out he probably would kill him.

 

Thats not what I said. I'm saying in your mind where does it stop being punishment and start being abuse? Drawing blood is ok in your mind so what about smacking him in the face? How about a belt across the back? What about the switch across the back?

So swatting a kids butt with your hand is equal to cutting him and drawing blood?

Here is the problem I have with AD.

 

I will first say, I was hit with a belt etc. by my dad growing up, I don't have a problem with being swatted like that. It becomes a problem when it goes from punishment to abuse. This kid is only 4 years old and has made statements saying he is swatted like that a lot and has had his mouth stiffed with leaves and that daddy (AD) has a whipping room. He is 4 years old and yes there is a difference in spanking a 4 year old with open hand on his behind and whipping him with a stick.

 

I could care less if AD is a star in the league or not, of any of this is proven true, and I think by AD's own tweets to the kids mother they are, then AD should be gone and possibly be sent to prison for some time.

The pics are about 5 days old. What did it look like when the wounds were fresh?

thanks

 

Yea, that no matter what the kid did is excessive. That is a use plain and simple.

I got spanked when I was a kid. It worked.

 

What AP did crossed the line. This isn't 1948 anymore.

AP still got paid $705k today.
