My daughter Amber attends an after school club that discussed Adrian Peterson's, ( Minnesota Vikings), child abuse allegations. According to my daughter, Mr Peterson spanked his child with a tree branch (switch) and when the child refused to cry, he spanked his genitals. If this really happened, then I was wrong. This is clearly child abuse and he should not only be suspended from paying football, but the criminal charges filed against him is correct!!!
I can admit I was wrong to use Bible scripture to back up this man's discipline tactics.
Please don't hold it against me.......................
Proverbs 13:24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.
Proverbs 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.
Proverbs 23:13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.
MY PERSONAL FAVORITE: Proverbs 19:18 Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a party to his death.
