NGT: Peterson facing another child abuse investigation

a vasectomy.

- Antonio Cromartie

Is a liability to the human race. Must feel good to know the world would be better off without you in it. Keep having kids dude... Lord knows we need more fatherless fucked up kids in this world.

Garbage.

to re-instate AP and play him this Sunday was a horrendous PR mistake. Wait until children who have been abuse victims start protesting at the game. Think thatll make the news?

in the way Peterson ran on the field.

I'm starting to see even more familiarity in the way they conduct themselves off the field.

The guy doesn't think he did anything wrong. His own lawyer has said as much. Chances are he spanked all of them this way.

So every jurisdiction that has one of Adrian Peterson's kids in it has got to look into whether he broke local child abuse laws. And it's likely they'll find evidence that he's done it to a bunch of them.

I think it's completely horrifying, and there's no doubt it's illegal, but this used to be common and is still not that unusual.

But even where it's common, a lot of people don't like it. My great-grandfather used to whip his kids that way. That was probably 80-100 years ago. He is not remembered fondly within the family. His daughter, my grandmother, didn't whip her kids, but she was abusive in other ways. And I think he even whipped his grandchildren, including my mother.

There are similar stories from my wife's family, going back 60-70 years.

Trouble with this kind of punishment is, it leaves psychological scars even when they don't leave a mark on the skin.

year old is not much of man.

said something about AP having like 22 kids (he was being a bit facetious) in the other thread yesterday, and he was promptly accused by two other posters of being racist and stereotyping.

Guess the author of this article is racist too.

I know we're not supposed to judge but "multiple kids w/ multiple women." What is wrong with these guys?

and the thought of that act is horrifying.

is just a complete mess right now on and off the field. Officiating is terrible, the players and games are sloppy and the product from a fan's perspective is being clouded by over the top gimmicks on marketing/off the field nonsense.

And that's without a labor problem (probably not far away from that however, it's looming again in a few years, especially if the economy sinks again).

AP was a fine guy who made a mistake and we should move on after his apology are OK with this guy leaving scars on the faces of his kids. This guy needs some jail.

not only am I not surprised but the decision to reinstate him is absolutely baffling. He's a monster plain and simple.

Make fun of Cromartie, but at least he hasn't beat his 15 children

How do we know this? We are finding new shit out daily.

My attorney has asked me not to discuss the facts of my pending case. I hope you can respect that request and help me honor it. I very much want the public to hear from me but I understand that it is not appropriate to talk about the facts in detail at this time. Nevertheless, I want everyone to understand how sorry I feel about the hurt I have brought to my child. I never wanted to be a distraction to the Vikings organization, the Minnesota community or to my teammates. I never imagined being in a position where the world is judging my parenting skills or calling me a child abuser because of the discipline I administered to my son.

I voluntarily appeared before the grand jury several weeks ago to answer any and all questions they had. Before my grand jury appearance, I was interviewed by two different police agencies without an attorney. In each of these interviews I have said the same thing, and that is that I never ever intended to harm my son. I will say the same thing once I have my day in court. I have to live with the fact that when I disciplined my son the way I was disciplined as a child, I caused an injury that I never intended or thought would happen. I know that many people disagree with the way I disciplined my child. I also understand after meeting with a psychologist that there are other alternative ways of disciplining a child that may be more appropriate.

I have learned a lot and have had to reevaluate how I discipline my son going forward. But deep in my heart I have always believed I could have been one of those kids that was lost in the streets without the discipline instilled in me by my parents and other relatives. I have always believed that the way my parents disciplined me has a great deal to do with the success I have enjoyed as a man. I love my son and I will continue to become a better parent and learn from any mistakes I ever make.

I am not a perfect son. I am not a perfect husband. I am not a perfect parent, but I am, without a doubt, not a child abuser. I am someone that disciplined his child and did not intend to cause him any injury. No one can understand the hurt that I feel for my son and for the harm I caused him. My goal is always to teach my son right from wrong and that’s what I tried to do that day. I accept the fact that people feel very strongly about this issue and what they think about my conduct. Regardless of what others think, however, I love my son very much and I will continue to try to become a better father and person.

HOUSTON -- Photos and text messages obtained by the I-Team reveal another incident in which Adrian Peterson is accused of injuring another son while disciplining the boy.

The four-year-old is by a different mother than the alleged victim in the Montgomery County case, in which Peterson is charged with felony injury to a child. In that case, Peterson admits to repeatedly striking the boy with a tree branch or "switch," but has maintained he did not intend to harm the child, and was using his judgment as a parent to discipline his son.

The latest incident allegedly occurred last June, while the boy, who lives out of state, was visiting Peterson at his gated home in The Woodlands. A photo, allegedly texted by Peterson to the boy's mother, shows a head wound to the boy covered by two bandages. Other photos, allegedly taken weeks later, reveal a scar over his right eye.

The text messages also describe an exchange about what happened. They contain numerous misspellings and shorthand:

Mother: "What happened to his head?"

Peterson: "Hit his head on the Carseat."

Mother: "How does that happen, he got a whoopin in the car."

Peterson: "Yep."

Mother: "Why?"

Peterson: "I felt so bad. But he did it his self."

The text messages go on to show Peterson saying he was disciplining his son for cussing to a sibling.

Mother: "What did you hit him with?"

Peter(son) never directly answered, but later replied: "Be still n take ya whooping he would have saved the scare (scar). He aight (all right)"

That's how southern folk do things

his sincerity might be less in doubt.

So you assume all parents beat their children? Or all NFL players beat their children? Or guys with a ridiculous amount of offspring beat their children?

it's hard to beat a kid you don't see, so I guess that works in the kids' favor.

I said we don't know. You said he absolutely doesn't. So, how would you know? I wouldn't have pegged AP or Rice as the type to do what they've done, but they did.

Now, you wanna continue putting words in my mouth?

5:05 PM PT -- Sources close to the investigation tell TMZ the reason the case went nowhere is because Adrian did NOT strike the boy in the forehead -- but instead the child accidentally hit his head on a carseat while Adrian was punishing him.

But at this rate we will hear about another one tomorrow

and not Gina Gibiatti?

it's only that it's a high profile athlete that we are hearing about these things. Think about where many of these players come from. I don't think this reflects on the NFL, but the way the NFL handles it does. They have to figure out how to get out in front of these scandals and not look ridiculous by allowing these players to play after something like this.

...he can't discuss the facts of the case and then goes on to discuss the facts of the case. Basically saying to the media, here is what I want you to know about the case, but don't bother asking me any follow-up questions.

about the Vikes re-instating him. NFL (and Balt) bans a guy for a yr hitting a woman once (that we know of) and now the Vikes give a one game time out to a guy who has repeatedly beaten numerous children. Its like MInny laughed in Goodel's face.

AP said Be still n take ya whooping he would have saved the scare (scar). That sounds like he's taking responsibility.

NFL suspended Rice 2 games for knocking out a woman and going thru the legal process.

When a video surfaced showing exactly what he said happened and the public reacted, that's when they changed their mind.
