Peterson charged with reckless or negligent injury to a child? (1 Viewer)

[The Flying Elvis]

According to police reports, the child, however, had a slightly different story, telling authorities that “Daddy Peterson hit me on my face.” The child also expressed worry that Peterson would punch him in the face if the child reported the incident to authorities. He also said that he had been hit by a belt and that “there are a lot of belts in Daddy’s closet.” He added that Peterson put leaves in his mouth when he was being hit with the switch while his pants were down. The child told his mother that Peterson “likes belts and switches” and “has a whooping room.”

It should be understood that the photographs that some have published & I have possession of were taken at least a week after incident.

From his attorneys statement

This indictment follows Adrian’s full cooperation with authorities who have been looking into this matter. Adrian is a loving father who used his judgment 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

 

[Casting Couch]

Only indicted and I'm sure he'll be give a week to turn in. I'm guessing that the NFL/Vikees will allow the legal system to do its thing before acting.

I don't see the commish going that light on this one, considering how he mishandled the RRice clown show.

 

[Henry Ford]

Oh, Jesus, kid was four. This guy should be in prison. Immediately.

.... and it's spin time. Unfortunately the pictures tell a different story, and in this case the pictures are worth much more than the words.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Maybe we need a separate thread for FF implications. Feels wrong to discuss over everyone screaming about child abuse.

 

[SameSongNDance]

This is really bad. Like really bad.

Christ, if that's true... That's some #### that would raise eyebrows if it occurred between two consenting adults. Whooping room? For ####'s sake how much whooping does one do to need an entire room/variety of whooping tools?

 

[Smack Tripper]

Do folks think he will be held out of the game Sunday or not?

My gut says yes although the coach covered for him yesterday and if you are sitting him Sunday what's your rationale to play him next week

Well, this is just getting worse and worse, isn't it?

Yeah except how should he handle it?

1. He's been indicted, but he hasn't been found guilty of anything.

2. The attorney's statements imply that Peterson will claim it was discipline, but not child abuse.

3. So far as we know, there is no video, no tape. There are photos, and those might be compelling in a court of law, but again we don't know that.

So what is Goodell supposed to do?

 

[Henry Ford]

Oh, Jesus, kid was four. This guy should be in prison. Immediately.

I agree. I think this is almost certainly good reason for prison for doing it to an 11-year-old.

But under any circumstance whatsoever to strike a four year old like that is beyond imagination.

 

[meatwad1]

Do folks think he will be held out of the game Sunday or not?

I have not heard anything.

but as a Peterson owner I added McKinnon and dropped Jeremy Hill, for what ever that is worth.

Wow...so that is a double screwjob for you, pick up a player who will do next to nothing and drop someone who will probably be producing come midseason.

 

[RBM]

Time to shut it down.

NFL had a good run.

This is why we can't have nice things

Was thinking the same. Just too many lowlifes.

 

[General Tso]

I blame Belichek.

 

[Max Power]

Lacerations to kids nuts?!?! wtf

 

[Quasimoto]

Are you people serious? I picked many a switch for my parents so they could beat my butt with it.... the key is to pick one that's not to green and not too dead the green ones hurt more ...but if you get a dead one, you have to go back and get another usually means a harder beating ... This is what is wrong with this country I guess none of you ever got a paddling at school either

In my grade school, you got to choose the paddle. A. One with holes in it. B. one with no holes.

How far this country has fallen into wussville. Sad.

 

[lod01]

This guy is a psycho.

 

[Widbil83]

Goodell has known about this since May and took no action? Wow.

Are you making this up? Or was this reported somewhere?

This happened in May. You really don't think the NFL knew about this?

I'm sorry, but I am just SO SICK of these "tough guy" posts.

You know what? Screw everyone that thinks this sort of thing is OK. It isn't. It was NEVER OK. Just because your dad thought so doesn't make it right. The fact that many of us (hopefully most of us) don't tolerate this sort of behavior is what's RIGHT about America.

Yeah lets give them a time out, that should work.. For one I cant get the pictures to open, and is the kid 11 or 4 , from my perspective they behavior of most of the kids that I have been around is pretty sad and needs correction

 

[ILUVBEER99]

ouch, he's cooked.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Cycle of abuse. If Chris Brown can get away with it, so can AP.

Things that are wrong with the United States of America:

1. Not enough child abuse.

2. Too much national debt.

3. Kardashians.

Indefinite suspension with pay to further investigate.

this is where im at. Why should the NFL do something without first letting due process occur. And if he is not found guilty? Then what should the NFL do? This is a very slippery slope here.

Just punch the kids right in the teeth ... for every tooth lost, that's like, what, a years worth of lesson learned? If you're packing heat, a nice pistol whip works wonders.

I wish the NFL had a commissioner, AP should never play another down in the NFL.

I expect him to be suspended for the rest of the year after seeing the pictures and from I've read he's admitted to doing it.

Also, I called it in Rice's thread months ago and I'm calling it now, AP will be cut. It's a PR nightmare and a team can't afford to have him on the roster. Unlike Rice, he has a decent shot of playing for another team after but I wouldn't guarantee it.

#Vikings have deactivated Adrian Peterson for this Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

 

[Billy1x]

My mom used a switch and the principal of our grade school used a belt. After it happens to you one time you'll never want to go through its again. I believe the many nuns used rulers across the knuckles.

The judge who issued the indictment should be stripped of his law degree.

he could suspend him.

I was forced to sit in a chair and listen to Rod Stewart music when I was bad.

Spare the Rod spoil the child.

 

[Pumpnick]

deactivated

 

[Pumpnick]

didnt take the vikings long

 

[dgreen]

In a way, seems similar to Vick's situation. Peterson is basically going to say, "I didn't know it was wrong."

 

[HobbesAB]

Look at the picture of the boy's hand. It wasn't there the first time I loaded the page. It doesn't look normal.

This. Goodell has been given an opportunity to do the right thing here; he should embrace it.

 

[whitem0nkey]

these pictures are a week old, they have been healing for a whole week and still look like that

Yes, dropping Jeremy Hill for McKinnon was a horrrrrrrrrrrrible move

Every idiot kid I ever met had horrible, scumbag parents. But if you want to keep making excuses go ahead.

 

[Quasimoto]

I just wanted to say that I think anybody with different values than mine should be immediately punished and placed in jail.

It's obvious that many on this board agree with me.

Burn Them All !!!!!!!!!!!

If your values are to do that to a kid who's not even in school, you have no values.

If you need to draw blood from multiple wounds to raise your kid, then walk in front of a bus and make your kid an orphan.

I agree that AP went to far. How many decades in prison do you think would be appropriate for his heinous crime?

 

[Casting Couch]

What planet are you on ?

Child abuse should get the ray rice punishment as well.

Sounds like the child needs to be put in a home. He seems to have very serious mental problems.
