What a horrible story. I hope the kid didn't suffer much before passing into a coma. It kind of bums me out that Peterson has a semi-secret kid, but he is a young man and these things happen.

He's a pretty private guy, protects his image and keeps his business off the field, off the field. You have to respect a guy like that. He knows his job and does it.

It's pretty horrible.

She wasn't even sure who the biological father is. She's not exactly mom of the year material.

Any mom would would pick losers to date and endanger their children is horrible. I worked with a woman who was arrested for child abuse and causing partially paralysis on her daughter. That was over a year ago and the court date was supposed to be in Q1 2013 but i have yet to find any more information about it. I wonder if I have to search court records in my state or county.

Son of Bitch.

A low-life that has to live every day with Adrian Peterson's son. A third of the blame goes on the mom though, with AP's child support there is no reason for her to keep dead beats around her children. If she was struggling, I could understand the why of having a loser in her life(car, rent, food, etc).

Confirmed, he has died now. :( R.I.P.

(CBS) The 2-year-old son of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has died after being beaten by his mother’s boyfriend.

Sioux Falls Police Department confirmed the boy died in a news release sent out Friday afternoon.

Joseph Robert Patterson, 27, has been charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery on an infant after abusing the child Wednesday evening. More charges appear to be coming.

Peterson addressed the media on the situation Friday morning.

“I will be playing Sunday, without a doubt,” Peterson said. “I really appreciate all the support that I’ve been receiving from fans and the Vikings organization. This is a private matter and I would ask you all to please just respect my privacy and not ask at all about the situation at hand.”

The mom sounds like a gold-digger. The guy's family is very well off and their resources probably helped him avoid charges for his previous arrests. He was arrested last year for aggravated assault on the mother of one of his children but didn't get any jail time. He was also charged for beating the 3 year old son of his girlfriend (not his kid).

They're reporting the kid died :/

Not sure what I'd do if another dude put his hands on my kid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi3Hyxuf5AE comes to mind.

When your life is over you can do anything and everything to everyone responsible and the consequences would be irrelevant...

Such a waste when people kill themselves. If you're going to kill yourself anyway , take advantage of it and get shit done that needs to get done first.

this is the saddest story in a while :( - What a horrible piece of garbage human being. Was he on heavy drugs? I don't understand how anyone could do that to a 2 year old child.

By the looks of it, I'd wager that he's a crazy Christian. Probably big into James Dobson.

Police said Patterson hit the boy in the head with a steel rod. Paramedics found the child in grave condition.http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2013/10/11/adrian-peterson-dealing-with-tragic-situation/

What the fuck....

The suspect -- who was given suspended sentences a year ago for simple domestic assault and violation of a domestic abuse bond, both misdemeanors -- was arrested Thursday night.

Real standup guy here. Guess he likes to pick on people smaller than him.

They should do the world a favor and leave him in the Vikings locker room for the pre-game warm up. I figure whatever is left of him will fit neatly in a small bucket. Easily flushable.
