Peterson's 4 year old would love a rolled up newspaper for a change.

I got spankings when I was 4 until they did no good when I was 8 or so.  Then I got the wooden spoon.  If I reacted in pain to that, that was it.  If I laughed, as I often did, I got another.  My mom once broke every wooden spoon in the house on my behind and I was laughing so hard I couldn't stop.

I agree 4 years old is too young for a switch or a belt or belt buckle.  The bigger problem is there were dozens of switchmarks on that kids' legs.  You do it once or twice to an older kid, the kid cries, you explain why the kid can't do what the kid was doing and you stop.  I think there is a point at which its apparent that a child is struck out of anger instead of discipline to teach a lesson and that point comes well prior to dozens of switchhits.  The bigger problem yet, AP admitted to hitting him in the testicles by accident with the switch and bruising the testicles.  You stop immediately if something like that happens.  This is anger, not discipline.  Hope he gets jail time.
