Adrian Peterson Accused Of Injuring Another 4-Year-Old Son [View all]

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."
