Adrian Peterson Accused Of Injuring Another 4-Year-Old Son

[RandySF]

Just hours after Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson apologized for injuring one 4-year-old son, KHOU-TV in Houston reported that he has also been accused of injuring another 4-year-old son. Both incidents involve Peterson allegedly injuring a young child while administering punishment.

Peterson, who was indicted in a child injury case in Texas on Friday, has also been reported to Child Protective Services over separate child abuse allegations involving another young son by a different mother, reported KHOU-TV in Houston on Monday. Citing text messages and photos allegedly sent by Peterson to the boy's mother, KHOU reported that the child in the second case was left with a scar over his right eye.

Citing unnamed sources described as being close to the investigation, TMZ reported that no charges were filed against Peterson in the alleged incident detailed by KHOU-TV because it was determined that the punishment administered by Peterson was "not impermissible."

1. But he's not a child abuser!

He said so himself. I heard him!

(In case it's needed.)

2. How the fuck is scarring a kid's eye "not impermissible"?!

[freshwest]

9. That is a disgusting statement by them.

3. I wish that KHOU-TV story had more details.

It does not really say what happened. I posted a couple days ago that I thought Peterwon would not play again in the NFL. Then today his suspension is lifted and then this story comes out.

11. and I posted that you were wrong.

it is OK for parents to hit children in our society.

15. It's only Tuesday.

4. Peterson will play next week, and the 49ers have a wife beater starting too

Looks like Rice is done though.

5. Jeopardizing a Hall of Fame career over mindless backwardness (AKA "tradition")...

It's things like this that really make me question the collective IQ of humanity...

[Ilsa]

6. I agree with Ed Schultz: the nfl needs a

Conduct Manual with a signed statement that it is understood that certain behaviors will lead to suspension or termination.

[SunSeeker]

8. Yup. My kid's elementary has one he had to sign. I signed one at work. So should NFL players. nt

7. How many kids by how many women does he have?

This guy is scum. Ever hear of a condom, asshole?

These are not people who should be held up as role models. If anything, they are anti-role models. How not to be. Do cheat on your wives/girlfriends with multiple groupies, don't have kids with women you barely know. And, above all else. DON"T BEAT THEM.

12. "These are not people who should be held up as role models"

It almost seems as if they were hired based solely on their ability to play football.

10. threads about AP's abuse haven't attracted near the outrage

on DU that threads about Rice did.

Even here. even here.

13. They can knock out women, rape women, beat the shit out of children and nothing is done.

Why?

Because they happen to make rich white guys even richer.

14. AP tweeted this mother as well

<snip>

In a chain of text messages with the boy’s mother, Peterson admits that the wound occurred as Peterson disciplined the boy for cussing at a sibling.

Per the report, Peterson never admits what he struck the boy with, but Peterson told the boy’s mother, “Be still n take ya whooping he would have saved the [scar].” No charges were filed, according to the report. The boy’s mother filed a report with Child Protective Services; the outcome of the investigation is unclear.
