The one texas prosecutor said that they are taking it all very seriously and said basically that it isn't their intention to get AP off with a fine or whatever. He can and most likely will serve some jail time.

Anybody defending Peterson at this point after reading all of the reports need to examine their self. Here is what is known as facts:

1) Peterson stuffed leaves in his son's mouth prior to the beating
2) Peterson struck his son in the groin / genital area as part of the beating
3) The other child that was abused also suffered facial scarring
4) In both incidents so far, Peterson has claimed "they did it to themselves" as far as the injuries, and elaborated that if they hadn't tried resisting, etc.. it wouldn't have been as bad.
5) Peterson has a "whoopin" room in his house with belts and stuff hanging from the wall that he uses as part of his discipline

I think it all looks like a sick individual and i have to wonder if he is only guilty of beating children. I have an awful bad feeling that it goes beyond that. In crime cases, usually when there is genital injury to the victim it is part of a sex thing. My fear is that AP could be sexually abusing children as part of his "discipline". If he is there is a chance that he was sexually abused as a child growing up...

This is way to much to let the legal process play out. As Snake alluded to AP has not denied the accusations. His defense at this point is basically that he did it out of love and did not use excessive force. Something which the pictures of his child certainly disagree with.

Warning: Pictures in article below are not for the faint of heart.

I don't think it goes towards sexual abuse though. Its basically a case of AP's parents beat him as a kid and now, not shockingly he's doing the same thing to his own kids.

The one good thing that might come out of this is that the cycle may stop with at least a few of AP's kids since this case will basically hammer into them that what AP has done is unacceptable.
