"Peterson knew his son had a scheduled Dr.s appointment for when he returned home and that the Dr. would discover the injuries.He added that if he felt like he had done something wrong -there's no way I would have let him get on that plane."
No Mom bashing-just facts.

The photo in this article was submitted by the sheriff's department so I'm assuming it's his mug shot. He is totally pleased with him self and is grinning from ear to ear.

Excerpt from a Star Tribune article:

The strongest predictor of whether a child thinks it’s OK to hit kids, and whether he’ll grow up to do so, is how often he’s been disciplined that way. Light spanking isn’t as bad as wielding a tree branch. But it’s part of the continuum. Researchers call this the “hidden curriculum”: Corporal punishment teaches itself.

Peterson thought he was teaching the opposite. According to reports, he was punishing his son for pushing and scratching another child. He says he explained this to the boy. “Anytime I spank my kids, I talk to them before, let them know what they did, and of course after,” he told investigators.


But when you hit a child for hitting another child, the hitting does all the talking. That’s the upshot of a recent study of more than 100 children and their parents. Every parent who approved of spanking a child for hitting a sibling passed this belief on to their kids. And 79 percent of kids who came from homes with lots of spanking said they’d hit a sibling for trying to watch a different TV show — almost the same scenario that led to Peterson’s beating of his son. According to the researchers, “Not one child from a no-spanking home chose to resolve these conflicts by hitting.” The kids absorbed the model, not the lecture. http://www.startribune.com/opinion/commentaries/275304271.html

Guess it too much trouble to use an egg timer and teach taking turns. Would rather just plop the kids in front of tv and beat em when they are childish!

He plays in a very rough and violent sport. Why is it that something called "karma" is whispering in my ear...."he'll get his, don't you worry"!!!

:laugh: "switches" are one thing: stitches are another, think about it Mr. Hotshot football dude!

How are they supposed to learn about not hitting without getting a well deserved spanking?

That'll teach them to hit another kid. Ya sure. You betcha!

What you are speaking about I have heard called the "hidden curriculum" because the actions of abuse imposed from one on another is then taught and applied by the previous victim. It is a vicious cycle.

Seriously. I think about this case. The kid is four. He pushes his sibling off a game. Reasonable reaction? Go up to the child, get down to his level, take his little face in yours and tell him, "That's not nice. Everyone needs to take a turn. You can't push or hit. Now it's Jimmy's turn and then it will be yours. If you push again, you won't get to play at all today."

See how easy? What's with the urge to strip the preschooler naked and ruthlessly whip his body with a switch while telling him not to cry? Wth?

OT don't want to derail this thread but just saw this http://www.ktbs.com/story/26562330/cardinals-deactivate-rb-jonathan-dwyer-after-assault-arrest and wondered if it was not time to make a ' blanket NFL ' assault thread or keep them all separate ? WTH people? tia and sorry again.

Isn't it sweet? I can just imagine how loved one feels as s/he is getting hit.

All those men who beat their women have been right all along. It's all about love.

I think when you kill the child, that is the greatest expression of love because you are loving them really really a lot with that hand or switch.

Snipped for brevity. Thanks for posting this. This is a good article. I wish he had sourced the study he cites. I could use it in an argument I'm having over this issue.

Is anyone here familiar with the study?

Or you can talk about how the child is angry and impatient and wants to play right NOW!

The parent and child can brainstorm other options. That way the child is learning to problem solve as well as to have words put to his emotions.

It is important to identify feelings and what to do with them, IMO

Sorry, I've read so many articles about this that I EDIT: cant find the source, but someone else said it and I don't want to take credit for it, but what did Peterson think his son didn't get through his head after the first blow, or the fifth?

Someone else said, did he (Peterson) give any thought to the fact that maybe the child was acting out due to the consistent lack of a father figure in his life?

Or maybe--and this is my own original thought that just occurred to me--the child was trying to win approval from his big tough football-playing father by trying to act big and tough himself?

Why quote a study?

If you are having an argument and you don't approve of the person's attitude, swat them one or two.

If it is a grown up, you will have to use a tool.

That'll teach them about arguing with you and making you annoyed!

Tell them it's because you love them. And how else are they going to learn the truth if they don't listen to you!

Her comments are pathetic and outrageous.

I started to post an angry response, then I realized that she probably thinks this because that's what someone told her while or after she was whipped.

Just sad.

LOL I am so tired I initially took your post literally.

Unfortunately this is an online argument I'm having on another forum. Virtual swats don't register. I don't think actual facts would help either, but never let it be said I'm not persistent.
