My bad, read that wrong. Still, stop loving doing stupid violent poo poo especially "switching" kids.

Well, WCCO is saying the child was a 4-year-old now, so you might be right.

Those people who don't think it's a big deal are very, very wrong, and we all know it. They don't realize it, though.

I can already tell this whole thing is going to suck and be annoying and political. I've had too many conversations with too many people who think it's A-OK to hit your kid, and surprise, they were hit as kids and "I turned out OK" (except for the whole beat your kids part).

It's green though so it's more like a whip

Mine too, with the "I'm not mad I'm just disappointed"

(also with bare hands)

e: Think of those really thin, long branches near the bottom of a tree that are pretty much like saplings, where they're drat near impossible to break in half no matter how many of the little strands you pull apart

Pretty much just better to point and laugh at the people defending beating 4 year olds to be honest.

I've seen that "go cut your own switch" thing like a dozen times already, and it's kind of adorable picturing a 4 year old trying to work his dad's pocket knife.

Some parents made you pick out your own switch.

Then went and got the biggest they could find if the one you pick was to small.

So its both really.

He was indicted, the charges were presented to a grand jury, and apparently not filed. He admitted everything to cops, and from what I've been able to discern, they decided not to charge him? I'm unclear at this point, either way. This is awful.

If they keep him on the team (and I don't think I would if I were in charge), he should have to donate his salary to shelters and get a ton of counseling. Hopefully everyone can learn from this about how hitting children is not OK.

You need to seek therapy. How is hitting a child until they bleed not considered abuse to you?
