Former NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall is coming under fire for the way he disciplines his children.
Marshall's video of him making his son run in the middle of the night has now led Marshall to defend himself against allegations of child abuse.

"This is my son, not my friend…," Marshall, 42, wrote in the caption on Instagram .
He continued, "If you don't start running, we're gonna go three miles. So you better start running because you don't know when I'm gonna tell you to stop. You don't wanna listen? We run. We work. 2 in the morning. Let's go. Faster. I'm driving 3 miles per hour. You should be going at 8 or 9 miles per hour."
"Here we go, now we moving. Run," Marshall added. "That's how you're gonna learn. Come on."
The fans in the comment section were divided on what Marshall is doing. Some agreed with the tactic and applauded him for taking these actions, while others wondered if this was a type of child abuse.

No reason was given as to why the retired NFL star was working out his son at 2 a.m.
