NFL star Adrian Peterson says he still uses a belt to discipline his son, despite previous suspension for child abuse

Despite having been previously suspended for a year on child abuse charges, Adrian Peterson confessed he still spanks his son with a belt
UPDATED NOV 22, 2018

Adrian Peterson, the Washington Redskins' running back who had previously served a one-year suspension in the NFL after he was charged with child abuse, admitted he still uses a belt to hit his son. "I had to discipline my son and spank him the other day with a belt," he reportedly said.

In an interview with Bleacher Report, it was revealed that the 33-year-old also received spankings with a belt while growing up, though he insisted that he used other disciplinary methods on his kids as well — he said he would take their electronics away, place them in timeouts, and have them do wall squats.
