Adrian Peterson should not be reinstated
Long is been the debate in Adrian Peterson´s case and divided are the opinions, but the fact that he used violence over his 4-year-old and injured him is completely clear. Is it hard to believe how many people still supporting and using violence to discipline their children like something normal and appropriate. The main problem is that this behavior creates a cycle that is hard to get out of, because children that have been disciplined with violence will most likely use violence to “educate” their children too. Anyways, what makes it worse now is that people like Adrian Peterson, a NFL star, who has many people following them, uses this kind of behavior …show more content…
Definitely, violence is not the way to discipline or educate kids, UNICEF (United Nations International Children´s Emergency Fund) reports on violence against children clearly states “ violence in all forms can rob children´s dignity, diminish their self-worth, and threaten their optimal development. Children not only suffer its immediate physical and emotional effects; the violence they see and experience is likely to impact on the type of adult they become and the future society of which they will be part”. Thirty-five years ago, Sweden was the first country to prohibit the corporal punishment of children in all setting, now it is banned in thirty-nine countries and in is in process in other 46 countries. Germany, Sweden, and Denmark are some of the countries that prohibit this behavior. These countries are within the most developed countries in the world and their education systems are used as an example for many countries around the world.

This only statement is enough to realize that he need to change his behavior and that he need to be punished for what he did. If the NFL does not put a sanction over him, it will look that these behavior is nothing serious. As a professional athlete you have to be aware that million of people is going to follow you and that you are the example for million of kids. If people see that their “ heroes”(in some cases) do things like this, they are going to think those behaviors are fine and they are going to repeat it. The NFL, knowing the huge impact they have over the American people that follow it, must enforce good conduct and push their athletes to be an example for the people. That is why should not be reinstates and must be used as an example of how child abuse and violence cannot be
