With indictment Peterson will have to turn himself in and thus his status for this weekend is now unclear

So is this a kid with another GF/wife?
I think this is going back to his child that was murdered? That's why I so confused
and that child didn't live in texas where he has been indicted.
Most chilling:
"Once source says there are photos of the childs injuries now in the possession of investigators with the Montgomery County Sheriffs Office."

Or not...I thought the insinuation was that this was related to the earlier death of his child. Clearly not the case.
Update: Sources say Peterson was first no billed by the grand jury when the prosecutor first presented this case but the District Attorneys 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 Sheriffs 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!

From the charges it seems clear that he did not put his hands on any kid
I guess when my mom whipped my ass with a belt for forging her name several times in 5th grade, I could've called the authorities on her.

In the article sphinx posted, it clearly states that AP allegedly BEAT his son...
UPDATE4: According to Ian Rapaport, the investigation has been going on for some time. Peterson testified to the Grand Jury weeks ago.
UPDATE5: And Ian also reports that the charges stem from Adrian disciplining his son with a switch.
I uh evidently need to clarify that a switch is a thin tree branch.
UPDATE6: From Isiah Carey at Fox 26 again:
Brady Fitzgerald with the Montgomery County Sheriffs 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.
We should also expect a statement from an attorney soon.

This becomes such a grey area. How old is the child? did it say? If he is an infant than there is no excuse. If it is a ten year old for example with a more bruised ego than bottom and maybe reported it in school to get even with his father for something then I would want to wait and see exactly what the facts are before forming an opinion.
Did the authorities normally have pictures of your injuries when you were spanked?
Yeah, I was agreeing with you. That was why I offered up the possibility of a more bruised ego than bottom. We just don't know. If he injured this boy he should be in trouble but we just don't know enough know.
This is also why Goodell should just resign.
He is going to come down hard on Peterson due to getting it wrong with Rice.
That grandparents beat their kids is way overblown.
nobody made you buckle your kids in a car
blacks had separate fountains
you could use the belt on your kids

could this be simply of the "spanking" variety, that we've all been on the receiving end of?

Nope. But I'm sure I had some on my ass that they would have taken notice of, if somebody sent the authorities some pics. I'm sure every single person on this site can say the same. We don't know the details, and I just asked a question. It's certainly possible,since it never mentions where the injuries are. And I'm not condoning it, either way.
I love this game, but some of the people playing it are complete jackasses.
Having no bearing on Peterson's case, I can assure you that's not the case.
It was one of those Hot Wheels tracks that we used to link together to make a race course.
