Is this about his son who died? Or one of his other kids?

I hope it's not the former, but either way, it could get him suspended for a long time. In todays climate!!

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was indicted on Friday for reckless or negligent injury to a child in North Montgomery County, Texas. Peterson’s attorney, Rustin Hardin, declined to comment, according Houston's KRIV Sports Director. Peterson's 2-year-old son, Tyrese, was killed last year, allegedly by his mother's live-in boyfriend at the time, Joseph Robert Patterson. Patterson was freed on bail last October but arrested again in June on kidnapping and assault charges against Tyrese's mother. Patterson still faces child abuse and murder charges for the boy's death. Peterson has said that he learned only two months prior to the boy's death that he was his father.

Why is this story not making sense to me? Unless it's just a ploy to extract millions from Peterson?

 

[TheDYVKX]

Crazy. I thought of Peterson as one of the NFL's more upstanding type guys, he seemed like he had a good character. If you had asked me who the NFL's highest character guys are a year ago, I would have listed Rice and Peterson near the top. Hope this isn't true.

 

[CodeMonkey]

I'm confused too. Says they took a second look. It's hard to figgure why he's in trouble but we clearly don't have all the facts.

Sources tell the Factor NFL player Adrian Peterson has been indicted by a Montgomery County Grand Jury. We’re told the charges stem from allegations Peterson, who plays for the Minnesota Vikings, beat his young son. Phil Grant with the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office says they can’t comment on the case until a suspect is in custody. However, Peterson’s attorney Rusty Hardin confirmed the indictment to FOX 26 but declined to comment. Grant says once he’s cleared to make a statement on the issue he will call me back. Once source says there are photos of the child’s injuries now in the possession of investigators with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
Update: Sources say Peterson was first ‘no billed’ by the grand jury when the prosecutor first presented this case but the District Attorney’s office took it a second time and this time the panel in Montgomery County accepted the criminal charge.
Update: Brady Fitzgerald with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s office says they investigated Peterson for injury to a child and then turned the case over to the District Attorney to present to a grand jury. However, Fitzgerald says Peterson has not been arrested.
The attorney representing Peterson is expected to release a statement soon!

I just read his 11 yo son came to visit and when returned to mother he had marks on him. She took him to doctor. Doctor contacted authorities. I'll try to find link

Read a few people saying he whipped him with a switch. I dont know what that is but im sure one of you do. Sounds like the kid acted up or did something stupid and got punished. But of course even spanking can land you in jail now. Its ridiculous.

I'm going to go on record and say Peterson is innocent. I'm in OKC and watched most of his career here at OU and he's not that kind of dude. I think the mother is just trying to get money. I could be wrong but I'm taking a position THIS EARLY.

A switch is usually a thin tree branch used like a whip. It definitely not a spanking.

depends on the marks really... if it's on the face, then that's going to point to abuse... the doctors are trained to recognize if it's an abuse or not... unless, the mom decided to bribe him.. :/

The injuries were reported by a doctor, not the mother.

Ahh ty for explaining.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Cloudy.
Maybe he got pulled over and cited because his child wasn't in a car seat?

If you whip a child so bad it leaves marks, that's abuse. Let's see how the NFL reacts with their new rules on domestic abuse.

NFL is in a real shit storm of poop right now.

Personally, I don't think physical discipline (of the switching, spanking, paddle) is terribly effective. Maybe your parenting just sucks shit. It was never really very effective with me, so my parents never really used it on me that I can remember. Their withering looks of disappointment and disdain for my actions were enough. Silent treatment worse. Then again, growing up in the 90s, I lived in playing outside and being locked inside was the worst punishment imaginable.

At any rate, who knows. He's a prick on the FB field with a mouth, but he's always seemed like a decent fella.

But if you're leaving marks that show the next day.....I'm left wondering what the fuck your kid did to "deserve" a bruising.

Hell, public shaming/embarrassment by your parents in public is more of a punishment than a spank.

eh.. I got spanked and that taught me a lot. Parents used different methods as well. Wouldn't say they were bad parents and they definitely not perfect, but they taught me a lot... including from spanking...

Here's a tip.. don't go around sleeping with X number of people without preparing for the consequence...
