The child's mother has been in this. She lives in Minnesota and sent the boy to stay with Peterson, the boy's father, in Texas.

Peterson sent her several tweets, including one about how she was going to be mad when she saw one of the wounds on the boy's thigh, one about how he didn't know the switch was whipping around to the front, one about how he felt bad after he saw how he had accidentally hit the boy's scrotum, one about how hit he the boy about five times more than he should have, and one about how the boy was going to be 'aight' (alright).

When the boy returned to Minnesota from Texas, the mother took the boy to the doctor. He reported the case to child welfare authorities.

Thanks very much for the information. I've read just about everything on this case from the gitgo on a multitude of sources and this is the first time I've seen a word about the mother's actions, and indeed, about a mother at all.

Good work in providing this "rest of the story". Would the media be so comprehensive in its reportage as you.
