    I'm 100% for parents spanking and disciplining their children, however AP may have gone a bit too far here. Will be interesting to see how this turns out.

    So twitterverse is claiming AP whooped his son with a switch.

    Not sure how true it is, but if so y'all some pansy ass mofos.

    Idk about you guys, but my pops whopped all of our asses with whatever was close.

    there are 2 sides to every story.

    How old is the kid?

    not that it matters that much but I would be way way WAY more understanding if he beat a smartarssed teenager. They all deserve it, but you still cant do it

    The old guys here probably got it a few times with a switch or belt (or, in my case, both). It wasn't unusual to see a mark days later from the switch if it were used on the back of the legs.

    I'm not condoning what he did. I would never had used a switch or belt on my kids. Just saying the marks aren't unusual.

    Some of those look pretty bad.

    If it was just welts, I don't think this would be a huge issue. But it looks like some of those are opened up.

    I've never got the switch, to Yankee for that lol but the belt was a classic and it left marks and bruises. Never opened the skin tho. But I don't know about a switch.

    I was whipped with a razor strap when I was young...I suppose in today's world my dad would have gone to prison to visit RT. But I agree with you about parents right to spank if they want.

    Man I got beat with anything and everything as a kid, if my mom could reach it, it became a weapon I would soon learn the pain of.

    Spankings are allowed in my book. Just yesterday I spanked my boy. Kids need to know you can beat them if need be. Keeps them from becoming serial killers and other kinds of weirdos.

    It's going to be interesting how this one plays out regardless of football implications. While the line is thin it can be a bit blurry between what is child abuse and what is discipline. Titan Jeff raises an excellent point with the marks. The same force with a hand or wide paddle will not leave the marks a switch or whip would leave.

    Considering what happened with Adrians other kid though I am a bit surprised he would take discipline to this level. Not sure I could lose a child and then discipline another child in this manner. I haven't lost a child thankfully, but I think if I had I might become a little weak when it comes to disciplining like this. For the record I spank the **** out of my kids, but never use a switch.
