I second this sentiment. Beating a child makes a person lower than scum. There's a special place in hell for people who do that.

[Devilsdancefloor]

ya there would be no reason to have a trial i would go find his sorry ass

[The Patriot]

What type of scum beats a 2 year-old.

[st33lersguy]

I hope that pile of trash gets tortured to death

[Count Steeler]

That just sickens me. Ship him to a Muslim country and let them deal with him.

They should throw him out on the field with every NFL player in the league. They would rip him limb to limb.

Prayers to AP and his family and friends

Son of Adrian Peterson dies

The 2-year-old son of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has died from injuries suffered after allegedly being assaulted by another man, the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Police Department confirmed Friday.

The child had been in critical condition in a South Dakota hospital, and a man who police say was caring for the child has been arrested.


Peterson's father, Nelson Peterson, had told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that the child is Adrian Peterson's son.

Joseph Patterson, 27, is being held on two felony counts of aggravated battery of an infant and aggravated assault domestic. He was in court Friday for a probable cause hearing where bail was expected to be discussed.

Peterson, who spoke to reporters earlier Friday at the team's facility, had said prior to the announcement of the child's death that he would play Sunday. The Vikings (1-3) host the Carolina Panthers (1-3).

Coach Leslie Frazier said he and Peterson will "talk more over the next 24 hours."

"I really appreciate all the support from fans and the Vikings," Peterson said. "I ask y'all to respect my privacy."

I think we're all agreed on this one. Anyone who would beat a toddler to death doesn't qualify as "people" in my book.

[steelerdiva]

Put this a-hole in general population, get the word out that he's a baby-killer and let nature take its course. :mad:

[Count Steeler]

Hope he gets reamed with a shank. Then let the torture begin.

[Edman]

The baby-killing POS will fry and suffer in prison as he rightfully should. It's not easy to beat a child.

Now it's time to reserve some ire for the mother who let this shit happen to her own child. She of course will get away with it, but she is just as responsible in my book.

There are no "innocent people" when a baby dies. The only innocent here is the one who died: The child.

[NJarhead]

Meet the POS responsible:


Court documents reveal the 27 year old has been arrested multiple times on various charges. He was arrested in 2004 for violating a protection order, but that was later dropped by the prosecutor. A 2012 arrest for aggravated assault was also dismissed by a prosecutor. Patterson has served time in jail for Eluding officers in 2010. He was also sentenced to five days in jail after pleading guilty to simple assault last year.

I don't understand why these women have relationships with men like this and trust them with their children. I will never understand this. Never. Ever.

[steeldawg]

Meet the POS responsible:

Sounds like a good person to leave your kid with, Also a good guy to date and move in with. People are so stupid!

neither can I, it is absolutely mind blowing.

[NJarhead]

It baffles the mind. I wonder if, because she obviously knew of his troubles, she could be charged with child neglect and/or child endangerment.

[Dwinsgames]

so sad to see how a supposed man has to harm a helpless child ..... RIP little one and prayers to the family

[steelerdiva]

@Edman...we don't always see eye-to-eye, but I agree with you 100 percent...single mothers need to be VERY careful these days about the men they bring into their home and around their kids. Some women are so desperate to have a man in their lives because they are so afraid to be alone that they potentially sacrifice their children's physical and emotional well-being. If you have children, they should be your priority...not whether or not you have a standing date on Saturday nights.

[HollywoodSteel]

I had all the same thoughts as many of you - anger at the scumbag who did this, anger at the mother who left her child alone with someone like that... but right now my heart just aches for A.P. I am a father a four-year-old boy myself. This all just makes me want to hold onto him and never let him out of my sight... but of course that isn't possible. At least his mother and I love each other very much and will hopefully remain married and stable for the rest of our lives. When I start to think about the emotions A.P. must be going through... the anger, the sadness, the helplessness... my mind can't even fully comprehend what it must be like. I really hope no one criticizes him for playing on Sunday. I totally get why he needs to put all of his focus onto something else. I almost feel bad for anyone trying to tackle him this weekend.

Apparently, AP just found about about this child. He had arrangements to meet him later this month, and flew to see him in the hospital. The first and only time he saw his son was when the child was on life support.

No words.

horrific ........ as you said ... I have no words

[stillers4me]

The man accused in the beating death of Adrian Peterson (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4169/adrian-peterson)’s 2-year-old son had previously been accused of abusing a 3-year-old.
The Argus Leader reports that Joseph Robert Patterson had previously been given a suspended sentence (http://www.argusleader.com/article/20131011/UPDATES/131011003/Man-accused-harming-toddler-has-violent-past-bond-set-750-000?gcheck=1) on two domestic abuse cases, one involving an assault on a woman he was previously involved with, and another involving an assault on that woman’s child.
Patterson was given a one-year jail term for each of those two charges, but the jail time was suspended on the condition he attend domestic violence counseling.
Now Patterson is charged with aggravated assault on an infant in the beating of Peterson’s son. Additional charges are possible now that Peterson’s son has died.

[st33lersguy]

I pray for Adrian Peterson in this tough time. I hope he has the game of his life tomorrow

[HollywoodSteel]

It's sad that A.P. never got to know this child. I wonder why the mother never tried to figure out who the father was until recently. Sounds like it wasn't anything more than a fling between the two, but still, what a horrific turn of events. I think it's safe to say that this child-murderer will spend the rest of his (probably short) life in prison. South Dakota (where this took place) does have the death penalty in case anyone was wondering. And even if he is just given life I'm not sure how long the guy will survive in gen. pop. I wish they could send him to prison in Minnesota just so that he'd be surrounded by Vikings fans.

There's nothing to understand. There's nothing mind-blowing here.

Single Mothers will get desperate for any male companionship. No matter the cost. Even if he is a neglectful dirtbag who treats her children like trash and doesn't care for them. If she is in love with him and he's meeting her desperate need for companionship, it doesn't matter what happens to her children. She's happy, she loves him and wants to be with him. It's a harsh truth about single mothers and women in general. If she is in love with him, all bets are off.

In the 90's, my mother lived with a drug addict boyfriend in a violent relationship for four years. Time and time again she irresponsibly kept taking him back, only to keep getting burned. It got so bad that the state finally had to intervene and put me in foster care. Like I said before, it's very likely the mother will get off scot-free, despite being very much responsible for leaving her child in a dangerous situation with her POS boyfriend.

That's not true of all women (obviously). Not even the majority. I understand that's your experience, and I think that sucks, but some Mothers do do everything to protect their children. My wife is a good example of that. My Mother dated some questionable dudes here and there, but largely dedicated her life to raising me in my Father's absence.

I could show you the difference in the caliber of Mother right around where I live; A mile north and it's mother's like yours and this one. A mile south and they are the polar opposite.
