I can certainly understand people’s concern over child abuse. None of us want that. But a switch is be best discipline a father can give a child if it is used correctly. It hurts the child’s pride more than anything but it hurts enough for the child to know he will not want any more of that. It modifies a thought. It reinforces what the dad has told the child about right and wrong. And it holds over to later years and the thought of discipline will keep the child away from many of the bad things the father has taught him to avoid over the years. And help keep him out of jail…. We need the switch….Let me say that again….We need the switch….I think Peterson did the correct thing…

Oops…Public opinion is too great…Did he abuse a child or did he discipline a child…I don’t know. If it was abuse the team and public is right. If he just used a switch, several of us are guilty of child abuse….
