1. whooping with a "tree branch?"

the instrument used to "whoop" the child has gone from being a "stick" to a " switch" to a "tree branch". what the hell kind of piece of wood did he use. I am sick to death reading all of the different descriptions of the "the weapon" Peterson used. do you even know what tearing that butt up means. it could be as simple as a whack on his legs.

Family? Father? Are you kidding? dballance Sep 2014 #31

I do not excuse or condone what was done to that poor boy. Throwing Peterson in jail is not going Pisces Sep 2014 #9

what really is distressing is seeing people call what Peterson did "discipline" cali Sep 2014 #26
