This whole ordeal should have been handled by now. AD should have already completed the parenting classes and DHS supervision that is the prescribed remedy for this type of offense. I have personally seen dozens of these cases play out and if this is the only injury inflicted parents never serve any jail time.
Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.
How is the press getting the pictures? If they are from medical files that is a HIPPA violation.

I had to pick my switch form the tree...my mom sometimes did not even get it her self..now that is abuse..
plus I might add....I picked the smallest one I could find.
And then he stuffed the leaves in the kid's mouth?
This isn't a "spanking"
It's child abuse.
Not sure if this adds anything more, but I think this article should be posted for the record:

Oh, and today, that would be what AD has been charged with...
ESPN.com is now reporting that he won't play this Sunday, a team decision.

BOOMER ......... SOONER!
AGGIES ......... SUCK!
... and the home, of the, SOONERS!
THUNDER THE F&*K UP!
My grandparents old house, when they had it built... my grandfather had them plant a willow tree on the side of the house. It only served one purpose.
My dad... used his belt (on my rear-end).
I don't feel abused.
Edit: Just saw the pics... and for being swatted with a "switch" that's nothing. No real bruising, no real raised welts. Those are scratches. Feel sorry for AD that his business is being dragged thru the airwaves, but that's the price you pay for fame.
Those pictures don't look like anything I didn't get when I was a kid. Hell, my parents described a lot worse than that from their folks. I'm fairly moderate about most social issues, but this seems like more like a dispute between one parent who's old school and the other who's new age.
The enduring image of Oklahoma was that ridiculous double–middle finger of a game-icing kick. It was probably an accident, which somehow made it more, not less, insulting. It was as though Stoops had partied so hard on the corpse of the SEC that he woke up with an unplanned tattoo.
I guess my parents should be glad we are 50 year old adults today. I think they would be in jail these days...
Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.

You do realize that a TEXAS grand jury indicted him?
I'm sure that TEXAS is a state with fairly similar attitudes towards corporal punishment as Oklahoma
They saw the evidence and thought he crossed a line.
He'll get his chance to defend himself.
But I wouldn't just excuse him bc it's what you think your daddy did.
If the legal system in TEXAS which is hardly a bleeding heart liberal bastion thought it was abuse I'm inclined to accept that and wait for more information
How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!

C'mon y'all.
This child is FOUR YEARS OLD. And he was punished like this for the offense of pushing another child off a video game? That probably happens millions of times in this country every day! Really? Y'all really think that offense by a FOUR YEAR OLD warrants physical punishment at all? Much less punishment that leaves the wounds visible in the pictures?
AD said he regretted that the boy didn't cry because then he would have known how bad he was hurting him. Don't any of y'all wonder what worse punishment that FOUR YEAR OLD child thought he might suffer if he cried?
Do you think it's normal for a FOUR YEAR OLD to get any kind of whooping and not cry unless he's already learned at that tender age that crying will only bring on additional punishment?
SMH
PS Yeah I grew up in Oklahoma so I got the switch and the belt myself. As a result I would never, ever advocate or practice them as child-rearing tools. Obviously YMMV.
