Star NFL Player Says He Uses Corporal Punishment On His 1-Year-Old Daughter

Speaking to WFAN, Detroit Lions Running Back Reggie Bush said Peterson “should definitely be allowed to play football.” Bush said Peterson’s actions were consistent with his own upbringing, which included being beaten with a belt.

Bush is also a father, and said “I have a 1-year-old daughter, and I discipline her.” Bush added that he “will try to — obviously not leave bruises or anything like that on her — but I definitely will discipline her harshly depending on, again, what the situation is.” In the interview, Bush said he would consider using a switch, as Peterson did, to discipline his own children.

Use a switch, discipline harshly? A ONE-YEAR-OLD child???
