Adrian Peterson's 2-year-old son—not Adrian Peterson Jr., but a formerly "secret" child—is "not expected to survive his injuries," and could be taken off life support tonight, City Pages reports. On Wednesday, the Sioux Falls boy was allegedly beaten by his mother's boyfriend, Joseph Robert Patterson, 27, who has been charged with aggravated assault and aggravated assault on an infant.
According to a reporter covering the story, the initial confusion surrounding the boy's identity was due to the fact that not even Adrian Peterson is sure the child is his, though Peterson's father later would later describe the boy as a grandson.
It was initially reported by TMZ this morning that Adrian Peterson Jr., Peterson's oft-photographed son, was hospitalized in critical condition. City Pages disputed that account, citing a source claiming the boy was not Peterson's. TMZ amended its account to say the boy was Peterson's son, just not Adrian Peterson Jr. City Pages followed suit.
A reporter whose own outlet isn't going with the story yet tells us this is a separate child, one not publicly known. The mother is a Sioux Falls woman who moved from the Twin Cities soon after the child was born, and believes the boy might be Peterson's, though no paternity test was done. (City Pages claims one was conducted recently.) The reporter also says Peterson has no contact with the woman or the child.

We get a story like this on the local news just about every day. Good grief! These women are idiots. For them, having a warm body next to them in bed is more important than the well being of their children. For some, the child is no more than some extra money in the welfare check.
And it’s all a humongous snafu, and yet “they never learn.” Well they won’t learn until they learn once more about God, who is NOT a bunch of morality kept up for the sake of church ladies, but a loving Being!
Amen.
Every life is precious, but from the poorly written article -- I am not even sure if the boy was Peterson's son.
Neither is the mother, per the article.
What I've wondered is, how can they tell?
Ray Charles: "If we have a dozen children / You know they all, all better look like me"
That’s just vile. I play in a few free fantasy fb leagues but it’s just a lark, it has no significance to real life whatsoever.
Know what I’d like to see? All the big boys...Yahoo Sports, Fox Sports, ESPN, all down the line...suspend fantasy football for this week, and on Sunday, those web pages have a plain background with a short message of condolence for this innocent child.
Remind the zealous man-children who think fantasy fb is a a critical necessity in their lives that a child may depart God’s earth much too soon, and that their comments have been truly abhorrent.
Yup. Made me think of this image.
In the wild, many males will kill the young of their females with other males. Among feral humans, this also happens with alarming frequency. This happened in CT just yesterday, with a Hispanic “boyfriend”.
So lovely to see Adrian Peterson is another NFL player who exemplifies good sense, morals and Christian virtue. /s
Thank you.
Hate to say it but... it may be the only way for him to release the anger and vengeance bottled up in him at the moment.
Whether you agree or not everyone one of us has to make decisions when you hit a crossroad moment.
I respect his decision whether I agree with it or not simply because I'm NOT in his shoes.
I don’t think that pic is of the child in question.
Why the surprise? He's just the sperm donor.
That is so sad!
No little one deserves that!!!!
The parents may be guilty as hell, but the child never asked for what it got.
And babymamma is guilty too. She must have known that the guy she was having coitus with was a crazy sob.
Prayer for that poor little one.!!!! (May the one that beat him burn in Hell)
Once again, its the live-in “boyfriend.”
Chalk-up one more victim of a corrupted society and the destruction of the family as the basis of society.
********
Reminds me of the young and more fit male lion who drives off the heretofore dominant male and kill his young. We’re getting more like the animals.
