I didn't think it would be you though :no:
There's nothing ok with leaving multiple contusions on a child's body (especially a four year old) through the use of a stick, including hitting the child in the testicles. And stuffing leaves in the child's mouth while beating them? Who the hell does something like that? And the kid saying that he has a "whoopin room"? What...the...fuck. Can you imagine how bad the kid was bleeding right after it happened? A four year old...
And for the record, I got my ass beat more than once as a child. Never by a stick or belt, but plenty hard enough with a hand that it hurt to sit down for a good while. I have no problem with parents exercising physical discipline on their children, but this is so far beyond appropriate it isn't even close.
AP just lost his career, and rightfully so. If Ray Rice lost his for punching his adult wife once, this one should be open and shut pretty quick. He's already out for Sunday. Roger Goodell is in full fledged panic mode right about now as well.
