Vikings RB Adrian Peterson Indicted On Charges Of Reckless/Negligent Injury To A Child

So many positive NFL stories these days. Great way to start the 2014 campaign. I'm guessing/hoping that the child is ok.

 

Hurry Roger! There's still time to cover this up!

 

Which backup running back do you take?

 

If he is suspended

 

Go to the fantasy section. This is for actual news. If fantasy crap starts taking over everything then duck this.

 

I guess he was really branching out in his form of discipline (eh?). I, in zero way judge him. Who knows how hard he hit his son. Probably sounds a lot worse than it really is, and a modern pc parent freaked out at any kind of physical discipline. I hope that's the case.

 

But didn't they say he drew blood?

 

I read that the whoopin caued the boy to have cuts from from his butt to his ankles

 

Same here and to me...that's waaaaaaaaaay over the line.

 

He drew a lot of blood.i got no problems smacking your kid in the ass as a form of discipline,and my grandma and mama tore my ass up with a switch along with my siblings when we were little along with my daddy tearing us up with his hand or his belt to me and my brother,i never got hit this bad. I Also have never hit my kids with anything but my hand and it was always to their rear ends.To me,he pushed it and he should be suspended as long as or maybe even longer than ray rice for doing this.

 

Peterson may have played his last NFL game...

4:12 PM PT -- According to the police report, Peterson allegedly sent text messages to the child's mother saying he "felt bad" because he struck the kid in the testicles.

"Got him in the nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I'm all tearing that butt up when needed!" the text said.

Peterson allegedly sent a follow up text saying, "Never do I go overboard! But all my kids will know, hey daddy has he biggest heart but don't play no games when it comes to acting right."

4:10 PM PT -- According to the police report, the child told authorities he had also been hit by a belt and there were "a lot of belts in daddy's closet."

The child also said AP had put leaves in his mouth when he was being struck and that his pants were down.

3:50 PM PT -- The Vikings have deactivated Peterson for Sunday's game.

3:34 PM PT -- Peterson has issued a statement through his lawyer saying, "The charged conduct involves using a switch to spank his son."

"This indictment follows Adrian's full cooperation with authorities who have been looking into this matter. Adrian is a loving father who used his judgement as a parent to discipline his son."

"He used the same kind of discipline with his child that he experienced as a child growing up in East Texas. Adrian has never hidden from what happened."

"He has cooperated fully with authorities and voluntarily testified before the grand jury for several hours."

"Adrian will address the charges with the same respect and responsiveness he has brought to this inquiry from its beginning. It is important to remember that Adrian never intended to harm his son and deeply regrets the unintentional injury."
3:00 PM PT -- The police report on the case includes photos of cuts on the boy's thigh and hands. He also had bruises on his lower back and buttocks, and according to the report ... Peterson admitted punishing him.One law enforcement source tells TMZ ... Peterson decided to discipline his son by grabbing a branch from a tree -- and then whipping the child on his bare skin. We're told several of the wounds were bleeding when the child went back to his mother.

mugshot? if so wtf does people smile when taking a mugshot. sorta like "hey now I am a criminal. Yayyyy me." I got "whooped" like that when I was a child. My legs and back looked like that. I turned out all right. Now, where is that stocking mask at......

 

^^^^

 

There is also an injury to the little boy's sc***um which thankfully there is no picture on line of.he has been deactivated for sunday's game but in my view,he should be suspended for the whole season for doing this if the league wants to be fair about things.I do not think he will get jail time for it though,but he should.

 

It was nice to see AP and the Vikes handle this properly: shut him down and have AP turn himself in. Its nice to see a team and a player step up and do the right thing, instead of waiting for the league to tell them what to do.

 

injury to a nut sack. as in a rip in the flesh? or a switch mark? an injury can mean different things.
