Adrian Peterson Case Renews the Debate Over Corporal Punishment

Hosted by

Running back Adrian Peterson has been suspended by the Minnesota Vikings after being indicted in Texas for reckless or negligent injury to a child. Peterson’s four-year old son reportedly suffered welts on his legs, buttocks and scrotum after Peterson whipped him with a switch like the one Peterson’s father often used on him. Voices have been raised on both sides—and one of Peterson’s best-known supporters is the legendary basketball star and sports commentator, Charles Barkley.
