Just hours after Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson apologized for injuring one 4-year-old son, KHOU-TV in Houston reported that he has also been accused of injuring another 4-year-old son. Both incidents involve Peterson allegedly injuring a young child while administering punishment.
Peterson, who was indicted in a child injury case in Texas on Friday, has also been reported to Child Protective Services over separate child abuse allegations involving another young son by a different mother, reported KHOU-TV in Houston on Monday. Citing text messages and photos allegedly sent by Peterson to the boy's mother, KHOU reported that the child in the second case was left with a scar over his right eye.
Citing unnamed sources described as being close to the investigation, TMZ reported that no charges were filed against Peterson in the alleged incident detailed by KHOU-TV because it was determined that the punishment administered by Peterson was "not impermissible."

(7,720 posts)It does not really say what happened. I posted a couple days ago that I thought Peterwon would not play again in the NFL. Then today his suspension is lifted and then this story comes out.

These are not people who should be held up as role models. If anything, they are anti-role models. How not to be. Do cheat on your wives/girlfriends with multiple groupies, don't have kids with women you barely know. And, above all else. DON"T BEAT THEM.

In a chain of text messages with the boys mother, Peterson admits that the wound occurred as Peterson disciplined the boy for cussing at a sibling.
Per the report, Peterson never admits what he struck the boy with, but Peterson told the boys mother, Be still n take ya whooping he would have saved the [scar]. No charges were filed, according to the report. The boys mother filed a report with Child Protective Services; the outcome of the investigation is unclear.
