Vikings RB Adrian Peterson indicted on Child Injury charge

[Cychedelia]

A switch is a flexible rod which is typically used for corporal punishment, similar ... severe physical discipline cruel and it is often banned by law as child abuse.

Seriously? It's child abuse?

.............I was expected something worse for it to be indictment worthy. Though I suppose if he were "overzealous" with it that would be bad.

At least he didn't beat the kid unconscious, but seriously, who beats a kid with a switch? Is it 1914?

This has cave potential!!!

edit - wrote before I knew what the hell a switch was. why does english have so many damn words for the thing.

sounds like something my grandparents would say. "Don't make me get the switch!"

If he were using it like a whip on the kid that could actually be pretty bad.

Well a switch could be anything from an antenna from a car or a tree branch....

The charge is for reckless or negligent injury.

So if the switch story is true, the charge is basically alleging that Adrian was careless in disciplining his son and that his carelessness caused his son's injury. Maybe the switch was too big, maybe Adrian hit him too hard (not taking care to realize his own strength), maybe he swung at the hand but hit the face, or something like that.

Damn......when I was a kid.....if my sister or I got into trouble.....we had to pick out our own switch for our dad to use!

It's spanking with a tool basically. Like CyFan said, it all has to do with how he went about it.

For all we know this "switch" is just a belt or something.

From TMZ:

Sources connected to Peterson tell us ... the alleged victim is a male child from Minnesota who was visiting Adrian back in May at AP's home in Texas.

We're told the child returned home to his mother in Minn. who noticed injuries and took the child to a doctor. A short time later, the doctor contacted authorities in Texas to report Adrian.

Adrian might not win MVP this year but he's a shoe in for father of the year.
